Thinking of getting this car in about 2 or 3 weeks from now. If speedtech runs out how can I get this kit from Japan? Thanks.

Again, this is not a limited edition kit, or is it? I'm in the market for a belt car so I am debating if I should get this kit or the Schuie MI2.

Thanks alot guy's. Chris you actually inspired me to get one since me and you have simular driving styles and you really like it. I liked the Losi belt but would like to try a Tamya. Annyhow whats the steering like on the car does it have alot? Im gonna have to ask you for a setup soon, hope you can help me. Not sure if Im gonna race it for the TOC race though dont want to change the oneway looks like it will take alot of work. Thanks again fellas.

the stock set up is pretty good.. just tweak it a little bit to fit your style. i dont have a socal set up because i wont be using that car there. the 415 will strictly be for the tamiya track and parking lots in 19T.

Hey Chris, did your drivetrain become more free after a few runs? Did it stay the same? Did it get worse? I forgot to ask you this on Saturday at Tamiya.

i cant really tell you cus i didnt test it when i first built it. but the belt loosened up a bit more.. i already adjusted it two notches front and back. but i think ill leave it as it is now.
