Quick question regarding the rear Body holes.
The rear Bodymounts are attached from the other side on the shocktower. On my 418 the body posts are mounted from the other side. Are the holes line up with the previous cars?

Couple of things... the Shapeways 3D printed blocks are not very durable. What I mean by this is after an afternoon of running with them (12 - 5 minute stints) @ Tamiya USA, the holes where the A arm shaft fits into the block starts to widen leaving play from side to side as the shaft hole elongates under driving. The part does not allow for the A arm shaft ball/cups that are designed into all aluminum toe blocks, just a hole bored into the printed block for the shaft to fit in. I was concerned about this when I put them on and an afternoon of crash free driving proved this to be the case. Not sure why they didn't print the part with provisions to hold the ball cup in them so the A arm shaft would be nested inside, but they didn't do it. The way they are designed, you'll get an afternoon of driving out of them (IF you don't hit anything) before the parts wear to a point where there is too much play from side to side creating a combined toe differences of a least .5 degrees. Not sure how durable they would be for those who crash a lot.

Also the new 419X showed up at the Tamiya track last Saturday. The 419X uses "G" blocks up front (FF/FR) as the only option to be built from the box! Yup G blocks! :eek: The driver running it loved the car from the first battery pack. Equally as fast as his 419 on his first battery and he got faster as the day went on. Many new changes to the design of the 419X to not be able to compare "apples to apples" but the car looked very stable and easy to drive. The wide front end is a trend used by a few of the mfg's including Yokomo.

I ran the F/F block arrangement on my 419 and it still provided plenty of steering corner entry, mid corner and exit, but smoothed the turns out enabling me to drive the car harder. I was running a 13.5T preparing for the Reedy Race. Sadly, I only purchased one set of the Shapeways blocks and since they "print to order" there is about a two week or more lead time for replacements. I'll be going back to my aluminum blocks for Reedy.

Yes. You can mount old bodies on the car but keep in mind the camber links will hit the body mounts unless you remove material from the posts. Otherwise just drill new rear holes in the body 11mm back.
