Its the heatsink for the TA05. If you get that one, you'll be set. I bought one a while ago and they are SCHWEET!

But they are expensive (tho they do look cool) but I went for a powered heatsink instead. (and half the price!)

Mark, remember how you had an opossum incident...well, I think one got into our garage and peed in one of the corners...I can't work on my stuff at home because it stinks so bad grrr

Since you have an MS chassis already, you might want to run it for a bit to get a feel and see what the Tamiya boys learn with the MSX on asphalt before you start investing in a new chassis. I think Rod has tested 2 vs 3mm in MS trim, perhaps not MSX. If anything is relative, the thinner chassis will prove to be better on asphalt. I know from other chassis I have tested this is true as well.
Good luck.

Mark,
In the picture it looks as though there is no lower chassis. Stealthy!!

I would chose the opossum. Are you sure yours was not a skunk?! If you ever get sprayed by a skunk take a tomoato bath.

MSX conversion!
I thought on the MSX kit that it came with blue aluminum screws or at least Titanium screw. I would have gladly given up the T-shirt that is way too small for better screws or one of those heat sinks or even better than that, a lower deck!!I guess my son gets another TRF T-shirt.

Bad luck for him (my friend), so if anyone has an info, he would be welcome.

Welcome to the world of tamiya...Even its a top of the line kit,but they won't include Ti or Alu screws.They want you to BUY.....!!!
Look at the MS kit for eg....Before the kit was release,the pics on the net was with new blue alu screws,but when it was release,it was full of steel screws...

MO BETTER BLING!
If I'm buying Ti screws it definitely isn't going to be from Tamiya. Way too expensive. Not sure how much the blue screws are from Tamiya but the weight savings will be minimum compared to Titanium. Just blue is so bling!

Not keen on the thought of Alloy into Alloy anyway. Go the Ti - definately the way to go.
