(plus this weekend we've got 12th cars running too, so the grip is really going to shot up)

Does the 415 come standard with a front one-way, or is it an hop-up?

It's made by EP4.....I have one and I know several other people with one.
Tamiya also makes a locked Centre pulley now and it should be in the USA soon - so you can remove the layshaft centre one-way and replace the one-way up front with the EP4 spool.
Also there are two ways you can get a diff for the front. IF you read back through this thread you can make one from Yokomo parts...or you can order custom made, blue anodized diff halfs from Germany (I have these two and they are sweet
).

To add to your comments, a front alumnium spool and alumnium diff outdrives are available from this guy Jürgen in Germany. Very high quality stuff and a nice guy to deal with.

Just borrowed a 415 from a friend to try out. I have a couple of questions.
1. what is the internal ratio
2. are the front blocks both 1d
3. does 1A - 1B blocks in the rear = to 2 degree total toe?
What's a good starting set-up for asphalt?
If this thing drives better than my EVO3s...I'll convert.
Thanks

2. yes, though many changed to 1C & 1A for more on power steering
3. if you have the stock plastic rear upright (2 degree), 1A & 1B give you 2.5 degrees. but if you have the optional alumnium upright (1 degree), 1A & 1B give you 1.5 degrees. however, if you have 1A & 1B in the rear you are running narrower rear than the stock setup, which uses 1D in the rear instead of 1B.
The kit stock setup is good for asphalt.
