I don't -think- the center pulley will fit. I'll try to verify tonight for sure. I need to stop my 417 build and get my 416 ready for practice this week. I'm waiting on parts for the 417 to build it the way I'd like. The new center pulley doesn't have the belts offset from the spur gear like the 416, they're exactly the same distance, and the spur rides in this tiny little slot in the top deck. It looks f*ing dialed.
Also, this new ball diff is a really nice improvement. It's a chunky monkey, but having the hubs fill the pulley is awesome. It looks like a direct fit in the 416.

The 3 Racing Sakura 19t pulleys are a snug fit, but they work. You need to run the belts looser than normal....but that's expected. The end result is when running a gear diff, the centre pulleys and rear belt are more reliable and the off power feel is smoother. (IMHO)
I was also using a 113t spur but that was with the bulkheads raised 1mm.

Thanks guys...I will look into the 3racing pulley. I think you could also use the Tamiya 36t pulley and not have to set the belt in the loose position maybe with a 19t center pulley?

Cheers for the tape info guys. I've got some on order (although I am hoping a carbon strap becomes available soon.
Does anywhere have the parts for the ball diff available yet? I don't want a one way as I race on a very small technical circuit so brakes are quite useful.
Oh, and are there any other parts that are recommended for the build? I assume it has the coated susp shafts etc included at the new higher price they charge.
