Okay, then what about the purple, gray and silver ones? And what about:
53636 Ultra Hard Spring
53635 Super Hard Spring
What color are they?
So if I am running rubber/asphalt I should get the normal ones, not the short ones?

Thats a good idea... I'll try and add the part numbers to the sheet, where I can.
You can use either, but most people use the normal springs. The short springs were for the short CVA shocks found on some previous generation cars, althogh still fit the bigger (current) shocks.
The extra sets (purple and gray) are very hard, so you'd only really need them if you use foams. You should be fine with the normal length set, with red, yellow, blue, and white. Bear in mind you need two sets for 4 of each spring (each set contains a pair of each colour).
You can also use HPI springs (Blue, Silver and Gold seem the prefered sets), but Xray, and AE springs also fit.
Persoanlly, I very rarely use anything apart from Tamiya Yellow, blue and white, and HPI Blue and Silver.

Well, it never hurts to have a big selection of springs, but for specifics on which ones are which, I'd suggest you go to TryHard's website(it's in his signature, you'll find his posts in this thread), it explains them all quite well. And as for the sway bar set for the TA05, yes, it's the same that the 415's use(& one set will accomodate the front & rear, & come with 3 sets of bars)......
you will be fine with the set (red, yellow, blue and white) you mentioned. Only in some cases with foams you will need the short ones (which I also have). In general, for asphalt, stock ones (yellow) are fine, perhaps in very grip conditions blue in the front are the answer... I haven't use so far any other combination besides (asphalt)

Hello
Can you give me some advice how to setup my MRE for European Championships in Montbrison?
Will Mazda6 Protoform be good?
One way or spool?
What oil and pistons?
....
Thank you in advance and see you in Montbrison.

It should fit!!!!!!!!!
I am sure this has been ask already...but with 630pg in this thread there are too many pages to sort.
I would like to fit a orion 3200 pack in my TRF415, but found that i have to: 1) Grind away the Al mounts,
2) grind material from the battery itself
3) get the stick pack conversion 49436.
Can someone please post some pictures of each of the options I listed. I would like to take a look at how that would turn out.
One last question. If there a battery brace kit that would fit the 415? I am not very good with tapes...

Isn't there a picture on the Tamiya website?
I thought there was!

I tried the swing the pack thing. Guess my pack is a bit thicker or something. Because after I swing it in, the bulkhead notch would press on the center flat portion of battery very tightly.

without dremeling the cases, there is a lot of pressure put on the rear bulkhead which MIGHT cause the car to tweak. i didnt want to risk this, so i went ahead and dremeled the cases. check the 3200 thread. i posted photos in there.

I disagree. My 3200's fit in my MRE with no issues. Yes, you might have to angle and push the 3200 to fit under the MRE bulkhead. But once in, it floats around freely. At least on my MRE it does. I think how much you dremel/angle our battery slots might affect this some. Another local MRE has the same results.
If anyone here is looking for a MRE, I'll be selling mine real soon. PM me if interested. Gonna clean it up before I take pics and post up in the for sale forums. I'm retiring from racing for a bit....

I had an MSXX and the stock 3200 doesn´t fit freely... at all. and I followed Chris advice, and dremeled (not that this is a new word...
) the battery on the bulkhead and at one of the topdeck screws reach the battery areas. It is very noticeable once you try to position the battery on the outer side with the aim increase balance....
I will try to post pictures once I arrive Madrid again... I'm at Dusseldorf right now and the weather is awful...

I have the stick pack conversion for my TRF415MS, and I think the 3200 Carbon Lipo would fit with no problems since the IB4200 stick packs I currently use have a fair bit of free space.

nevertheless, is is really an small amount of battery case that you have to grind....

i didnt file down the battery slots too far because of the difference btw IB4200s and EP4200s (never measured, but it was just what "i've heard") in diameter. plus i wasnt sure if another cell was coming, etc etc. funny, i didnt even keep the car.
