WOW, amazing. I put the 417x (my first Tamiya) on the track to race last night and it was great. Started off kit setup including supplied oils but Blue springs all round. Changed to Yellow rear, removed the joining plate from under the motor mount and went Kyo 2000wt in the diff. Then the car was amazing, still broke lose a little on power at exit of the hairpins, but all-in-all was a pleasure to drive and showed in my results.

Hello, looking the 417X manual, I see that does not bring the battery holder. Support must be purchased separately?
Thank you very much. Best Regards.

exotek soft works great at Tamiya USA track which has med grip. it just keeps my rear stable even if i break hard during turn which is important when trying to pass and taking a different driving line. I have the motor mount brace off and exotek upper deck too and do not use sway bars. i love flex

What spur gear should I use for 417X??
I ran my 417x yesterday and it ran great....one problem though I used a Xenon 96 tooth spur (running blinky 17.5) and it seems to rock back and forth along the pins, as the mounting holes are a tad too big....what spur gear should I run so that there is no play??
When I ran the Xenon gear, with proper mesh, the play caused some binding issues between the spur and the pinion.
Thanks for any help

Anyone know of an alternate ball connector that I could use on the 417?
I'm looking for longer ones as all the setup have long upper arms the plastic ball caps dont threat very deep in the turnbuckles and they bend very easily. I used to run longer ball caps made by RPM on my shumie but the RPMs dont fit on the tamiya.
Thx.
By the way NPETRO,
apparently the hot bodies spur gear fits the 417. I was tempted to try it but I swithched to 48 pitch spur gears from RW racing for more teeth strenght because I have chewed up so many spurs in so little time I was getting frustrated and very few spurs fit the tamiya. Look into the hotbodies spurs if you want to stick with 64 pitch.

I thinks you maybe able to use the ball cups from the Tamiya off road cars they look longer and should be the same size, by the way why dont you just use longer turnbuckles?
