Well that’s the RCtech rumour that gets spread around by those that no longer run Tamiya.. have you heard anyone from Tamiya come out and say it? Any word from Fred?
yet since the team disbanded, we have gotten TRF103, TB Evo 7, which are TRF cars.. plus multiple updates to 419x, tons of new update hop ups... so expect a follow up to TRF419

For anyone that is considering swapping to the alloy gear diff case from plastic
it’s only a 2.4 gram difference between the alloy and plastic.
No anyone that has run the alloy did you really notice a difference on the leaking?
And if you did was it with the alloy pulls as well?
as with a day of testing I found my alloy with plastic pulley wasn’t really any better maybe I did something wrong?

what are you running for orings and shimming?
I have minimal leaking I would say 10 runs diff might be down 5-10%
but if I can get zero leakage I would do what it takes. The leaking isn’t an issue for performance at the slow rate I have but how clean the car would be with zero leaking is totally worth what ever it takes to have zero leaks

As I have mentioned a few posts back, with xray orings I have zero leaks, not even seepage. I use the large shim kit but with xray orings theyre not necessary as the seal is good enough and the longer path to prevent leaks is not needed. They are more of an interference fit, I would push the oring into its greased seat, put some more grease on top then place the large washer over it to keep it in place, then insert the outdrive while pressing on the washer to prevent the oring from popping out of the seat. I only used 0.1mm on each of the large bevels.

Yes remove the centre stiffener. Also you can run minimum amount of screws in the motor mount. 4 screws in the lower rear bulkhead. (The 2 at the rear and the next two,
You could also also cut the top deck as well. However try the other things first (one by one to see how it goes)
