Thanks for all the great tips!
I got it rebuilt and looks much better now.
I have 2 more questions.
What is the drive ratio for the trf419? Is it the same as 417?
I looked everywhere, but I couldn't it find it. I am looking for a pinion gear for stock 116t spur gear.

Second question is:
The c hub area has some up down, forward and back slop.
Up down is about 0.1mm or less, I could shim this one, but it made the steering some what less freely, so I left it that in-shimmed.

But forward and back a another 0.1-0.2mm slop. I think it is there due to the design of the part, I couldn't fix this one at all.

I don't think there is such car called slop free.
When you guys have to choose, would you rather have a slightly bind slop free, or moving freely, but has a little slop?
It is a small car, so I don't know how much slop is acceptable. I am not sure if I should be anal about it like many of you on there.
Thanks for advices!

Here is my beauty after some changes.
Raceberry short damper stays.
Black XRAY shocks.
As for the springs I used progressive 2.5-2.8 at the front and 2.6 at the back.

Car was absolutely joy to drive yesterday.
Let's see what will Raceberry chassis and top deck bring next time.

Very nice TRF 419 :sneaky:

But the XRay shocks much to expensive. I ordered some lower damper stay from RCRacer. I bought the 2mm Chassis with steering brace and the Tamiya short shocks 42273.

Make a new Video on youtube the next few days.

I'm using vbc short shocks on mine with the rc Racer towers . It went very well today once I found the setup.
Still having problems with the diff tho. I'm going to drill the hole in the outdrive and use a bigger pin ,that should fix it . I used my 418 diff today no problems at all

Well they are not that much more expensive than set of the TRF shocks :)
Set of T4 shocks will set you roughly 70 euros + shipping.

Will the shock towers for the 419 fit the 418?

Where did you get them? I found it on a website that charges me 38 euros for shipping.... I wonder if you know a place that offers reasonable shipping.

Please let me know. Thank you!
