Nismo, it pretty much says it on the EvoIV thread. It's for the Evo IV suspension or 415 with LW. You can not use the Pro4 spindle on the stock 415 suspension. Must be LW suspension. What you need Besides LW suspension kit are...

1.Pro4 spindle
2.10x5mm bearings
3.415 stock axle
4.EvoIV dogbone and pin kit (should be in the LW kit)
5. .75mm shim
6. .9mm worth of axle shims (I use Alex racing/speedtechrc)
7. (optional for carpet) 6mm silver wheel hex

Preferred method with LW suspension kit....

1.Pro4 spindle
2.10x5mm bearings
3.Square Pro4 Ti axle (non MIP type)
4.EvoIV dogbone and pin kit (should be in the LW kit)
5. .75mm shim
6. .1~.2 worth of axle shims
7. (optional for carpet) 6mm silver wheel hex

I don't think it can't get more simpler than that!!

But that's only for the front end... for the rear end it's different. I haven't done it yet....

Hope this helps

Default 415 out of production

Guys i was ordering another 415 kit in for my mates only to find that the TRF415 is already out of production. Hopefully they will continue to manufacture spares and hop-ups for the model. I guess this is about right since the item is a LIMITED EDITION kit.

there is still one available kit here in Manila its in LILS HOBBY SHOP only problem is they do not have a website so you might as well ask one of your friends here to buy it here and then shipped it in Australia. the kit is around 23,500.00 in Philippine pesos( dont know the convertion in AUS $)hope this helps

I tried the C/A blocks as suggested by a few people in this forum. I found a really nice increase in steering and rotation, but is it just me or is the car very nervous and harder to drive?

I notice this rear rake is also used on the Pro 4. What is the actual geometry effect of this? It appears that it is mainly a wheelbase change when the suspension is compressed?

I havenīt tried it for myself yet but I also have heard itīs harder to drive.
I think when the suspension is compressed itīs not only a wheelbase change but also the castor is reduced.

OK yep I can see that. My HPI R40 also has this same thing but obviously with a different way of doing it with the pivot ball suspension. It seems to work really nicely.

The White belts are from Tamiya. 53706 Front and 53707 Rear. They are low friction belts to smooth out the drivetrain even more with less friction and more efficiency. They are softer belts.
