RCJaz has them on pre-order for $460US :eek: and expected available date on 2016-07-06 https://www.rcjaz.com/tamiya-42301-1...-90073500.html

Are there any bad issues with the 1st TRF419? Thought I read somewhere that they are bad for leaking diffs? Any other issues? Mainly be using it for club racers around my area.

I don't see wether or not they have strengthened the c hubs on the new car, or at least made the fitting better so there is not so much unwanted movement .

Got my in the mail today can't wait to build

Sorry for the late reply on the RC Racer front suspension holders.
My son has been using his for 4 months now, and they are still in perfect condition. They have 0 play (it are the white ones).
He actually took his car to a great 5th place in the Tonisport Onroad series, division West: http://brcnews.net/?p=12812
He was in a strong field with ETS A, B and C finalists.
I am really happy with these parts, that's all I can say about it!

Cheers,

David

thanks for feedback David I have also NO problems with the shapeway parts .

congrats to your son Florian :D

Is there anyway to still get the lower shock towers? Thinking i am going to bring my 419 as close to an 419x as i can with the wide front end and the short shocks.

I just got my 419x, looking for a 17.5 blinky setup for medium grip asphalt track. Thank you!

Guess I'll try the email, I just didn't know if they were still around since the website link under contact is not working. Thanks.

Yep, they have been going for decades. The link works for me.

my arrived today 😛
Soon you will find him on youtube :sneaky:

Here is the set up for Florian's car.

So what is the consensus? Super low with Xray shocks or low with stock shocks and 20 mm springs? Right now i don't have any springs other than the kit red so its not like i am wasting springs. Mostly going to be running on carpet

I ordered mine it took 2 weeks from England to California they were a super High quality I used Xray short shocks and yokomo 20mm springs the car handle really well with the up grade it's a little spendy but it's cheaper then buying a 419x!
Stephen with Fiberlyte emailed me right back they were $32 shipped.

Cool Thanks. Thats what i am thinking as well. Not buying a new car anytime soon. Has anyone tried anything other than the X-ray shocks? almost all the majors are now running the same length shock now right? TQ (my new home track) carries ARC, Yokomo, Tamiya, VBC and X-ray so it seems i have a lot of choices.
