Do they sell crappy strapping tape on the east coast or something? The only 415's I see with strap down jobs are from yonder

If anyone wants to get some good tape go down to Wal*Mart and pick up a roll of 3M Glass Strapping tape. I usually get 3-4 packs out of a piece at a parking lot race and a whole day on a piece indoor

Thanks for the info pal. let me check out my LHS. Not sure if they have it. If not, I may need to order them from you. But I'm located in Singapore.

Hi, that brace is very nice. Is it made by Yokomo?

I use tape, I buy it at my local garage. It's much stronger as the stuff you buy at your LSH.

Its from the Yokomo MR-4TC SD

You could probably use the one off the TB-02 just as well

If you have a center oneway with a spool, you still have free front wheel movement as if you were running a front oneway except the front wheels do not rotate indepently.

No. I have one but I really don´t like the small bearings. As we have indoor time now it really makes no sense using the new suspension as the old one seems better on carpet.

I think the 415 MS specs were released before the worlds so it´s not really a worlds car. But maybe they really will release a 415 WCR or 415 Marc Rheinard Edition later. But I can´t think this one will be with a front spool as used at the worlds.
