No existing part from the EVO III or 415 could be used with the EVO IV.

Then the 415 is looking a better choice for someone with a lot of EVO III parts.
Are you getting the ti screws for your 415 or do you feel it doesn't need them?

Noticed the same with the EVO III as you. Really was hooked out of the box.

I canīt tell anything from personal experience regarding the 415 as mine is just on its way to me.
But everybody who bought a 415 here is quite happy. Maybe our tracks are different or anything else, I donīt know. These 415 are so fast, everybody having an EVO III before said itīs much faster and so easy to drive.

But if there are any problems regarding setup I think the new fixed centerdrive pully will make the handling more easy.

Did you get your 415 for a good price, V12 :D

I'm not putting down the 415 at all. I think it is a great and fast car and with that, I know you will enjoy it. I just did not have that same experience.

Iīm using some Square Ti screws with my EVO III but I donīt think you need them with the 415. Everybody tells you the 415 is way lighter than an EVO.

I have to see how good are the original 415 screws. Maybe Iīm going with stainless steel screws. On the bottom of the chassis Iīm never using Ti screws anyway.

Iīm sorry the 415 didnīt work for you but I hope it works for me.

Alan from the UK told me he was using a fixed centerdrive and the Jürgen frontdiff at the last race and the 415 was very easy to drive but still very fast.

If it works well on small tracks, then that's fine for me :D I only run indoor - outdoor is the Serpent for me.

what is the part number for the for the new suspension kit from the EVO IV.

I also agree about the best F1 racing being before 1994. At least at that time the driver drove the car and not a computer.

Senna's death was a very sad day. Would have love to see he and Schumacher race against each other more.

Pre-94 F1 was like chess - you watched the race build - I would sit down with my glass of beer and be absorbed for 2 hours.
Post-94 F1 is like poker - you haven't a clue what anyone is doing or if they are fast due to fuel load, etc. This is short term entertainment to my mind and not something to sit down and savour.

We only got a taste of Senna v Schumacher - I remember Irvines comments about Senna and Schumacher passing him in Brazil - he said Schumacher went past him as if he was on rails, but Senna's car was all over the place, he couldn't understand how Senna was keeping it on the track, never mind how he was fastest!!!

I simply gave up watching F1 about 3 or 4 years ago - I was the biggest fan of F1 up until then. I used to tape every race and before the start I'd be shaking due to the anticipation.

I'm luckly enough to still have a tape of the Donnington race in 93 where Senna ran rings around everyone - when I watch the first lap of that race I just shake my head and grin :nod:

Iīm still watching F1. What else could you watch as a fan of motorsports? Even LeMans racing isnīt the same as before.
