From first glance I see the chassis and the rear hinge pin and a couple of spacers. I'll be going through the entire car in the next couple of days checking things out before I start to reassemble things on the new chassis. My poor baby is in pieces down stairs. The Reedy warm up race should be a ton of fun.

Diff Pulleys
I have the MRE which has the 36t alternate tooth white diff pulley and 16t center pulley right! The MRE came with the MSX manual and parts list and part numbers which uses the 35t black diff pulley. I just started buying on line and accidently bought the 35t MSX pulley.
My question is can I run the 35t rear diff pulley with the 36t front spool?Will that combo have any effect on the 16t center pulley and the belts? If that combo doesn't work, can I run the 35t front and rear diff pulleys? Will that combo effect the 16t center pulley and the belts?

Having said that, the car has been ubber strong.... I mananged to hit a fence post after a start once (thanks to interference... thank god for 2.4gig), and only wiped out the chassis... and managed to snap the ti screw holding the servo mount and nothing else!!!

Make sure you check the blocks too, both horizontally and vertically... they do to bend after a BIG hit...

I believe the MRE spool is special and requires the 36T pulley. I have an MRE as well and I could not get the standard 415 aluminum spool to fit 36T alternated pulley that I have on my one-way. My car came used and didn't include the original MRE spool.
Just buy yourself the proper rear pulley and settle for a lesson learned. BTW: You can download the MRE addendum here. Just start clicking on the the options down the left side of the screen until you see all the TRF manuals listed (should be the second one down in the first group)...
any car would have exploded on the hit(s) STLNLST's car took, he got spun at the end of straight and two cars hit him full speed at wierd and opposite angles, a real fluky crash.
I made it through my first mod race, 3 quals and main with no issues

For those who liked the older 415 and want to try and find a new one, this may be your answer, sounds cheap!

Car is completely stipped and the new chassis is ready to be installed.
can anyone tell me what the measurement should be for both anti roll bar turnbuckles is, as I cannot find it listed in the build manual?
I've noticed that mine have been binding slightly on both front and rear driveshafts.
thanks
