better off keeping the m aluminum, there will always be a week point that will break, tie rods are alot cheaper than sterring arms and c hubs etc!!

Just think about the new tamiya gold (titanium coated) suspension shafts and damper rods, I see on Marc's car from the Euros that he was running the same on the front swing shafts. I recall someone saying that Alex Racing made the damper rods and they were sold as tamiya. Do Alex make these 46mm swing shafts or are they a future Tamiya hop-up?

Ballsie: They're a new Tamiya option part (does not neccesarily mean it's Tamiya who manufacture the part).

Here's a picture of the Hybrid suspension mount plate. It's for roll centre adjustment and if I understood the translation right you get two 0.5mm and two 1mm thick plates in one set.

What 64 pitch spur gear does the 415MS take? Also what is the internal ratio?

THANKS

Internal ratio of the 415 series is 2,1875.

Most who run 64pitch gears in mod use a 102t spur I believe.

Does anybody make a spool that doesn't break for the 415?

Been running the speedtech spool and in 3 meetings have snapped one and bent another.

Only parts I've managed to break on the car in over a seasons racing.

Thx Kentech for the info on the suspension plates aka "fancy shims"

RC Maniax make a good spool for the 415 ..... But whether it breaks depends !!

those are perfect...should make rollcenter, pro/antisquat/dive adjustments easier.

Ballsie

I think they are actually 0.7mm and 1mm like the spacers in the 415 kit although mine only arrived today and I haven't measured them.

Ballsie

Thats for the suspension shafts, I've already got them. I'd like the swing shafts for the universal drive shafts.

Thanks for your reply though .

Hi dw,

You also can try Tamiya spool part#49358 (TRF415 Front Direct coupling (Spool)). I got one and it seems to be good.

Tommy Bergfeldt

One version of a spool is to build a complete front diff (Yokomo parts as described on Tamiya USA) but without balls, then just tighten it completely. I ran this solution in my Xray when the spool broke.
