MuchMore diff setting tool
Just a quick question. Are the diff rings different on the TRF417 as compared to the 416?
I want to get my hands on the MuchMore diff setting tool but want to make sure it will work with the 417 diff rings.
Thanks Greg G

Hello, just concerning setup between tracks, what are the main changes between going from carpet to asphalt ?
What should be the first thing changed or what does everyone tend to change?
I was looking at some setup sheets and I think that most people tend to run shocks more upright, thinner oil, higher roll centeron the inner pivot. And also the longer links .
Am I right ?
Thanks

Starting setup for asphalt is HPI Silvers all round, with 450wt oil, whilst indoors it would be Tamiya white/blue, with 500wt oil.
Otherwise, I tend to leave the rest of geometry alone until I get to the track and see what it needs altering.
An interesting point is that I actually tend to alter the roll centre more when changing class, rather than indoors or out. With higher wind motors, I'll tend to run a higher roll centre for more corner speed.

I am in the process of trying to decide which TRF car to purchase, a 416x or 417. I come to you with this question. Knowing what you know now, which car would you purchase, a slightly used TRF416x or a new TRF417? I have the opportunity to purchase a TRF416x with a bunch of spare parts for $140 less than a new TRF417 with a few spare parts. I have never raced on-road so I will have a learning curve with both cars. Would you go for the older car at a lesser price or a newer car with the newer technology?
Both cars use the same suspension components, so all the usual spares will be available for a while.

To be honest, whilst the 417 is the latest car (and I do believe is faster), you really can't go wrong with a used 416X. As you mention, your starting out in on-road, and the money you save on the 416 could be put towards other stuff (tyres?).
Both cars use the same suspension components, so all the usual spares will be available for a while.

And just a quick question to anyone; the white/blue/yellow springs that come with the kit, are they white short or yellow short or blue short or just normal white ?
As the short version of the same spring are softer, so when I try and compare, I know which one im doing xD.
Thanks
