TAMIYA 415MSXX AND LIPOS
 

DOES ANYONE KNOWS IF A 4900 OR A 5400 MAH LIPO WILL FIT IN THE TAMIYA 415MSXX MARC RHEINARD 07 EDITION. AND IF IT DOESNT.WULD IT FIT USING THE UPGRADE STICK PACK KIT#

No and No. You would have trouble fittin a 3800 pack in and that would need some work. Only could fit a 2400 orion in mine.

HEY, DENNYBOY. THANKS FOR THE INFO.
IS THE FIRST TIME IM LOOKING AT A TAMIYA CAR. IM TRYING TO GET A NEW BUT I WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
IVE HAVE HPI,ASSOC,LOSI,XRAY DIFFERENT 12 SCALE CARS BUT NEVER A TAMIYA, KYOSHO,TEAM MAGIC,RDX,MI3.5 FROM SM.
HAVE YOU EVER HAVE A KYOSHO STALLION OR A 416 AND HOW ARE THEY.

The Stallion and 416 will fit lipos. The 415 does not because of the way the rear bulkhead was designed to hug round nimh cells. You could try the stick-pack conversion for the MSXX-MRE, but then your looking at the same price as a 416 which is better all around...

The Stallion is not as good for the money as there are still many hop-ups after you buy the car. I would only recommend it for die-hard Kyosho fans. There is a newer "Shin" version, but I've been told it's VERY expensive...

THANK FOR THE INFO 94EG!
IM TRYING TO MAKE A FINAL DESISSION. I THINK IM GOING WITH THE 416.
IS THE 416 A SOLID CAR.IA ASK BECAUSE SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT THE KYOSHO SATLLION BREAKS TO MUCH, IS VERY RAGILE.
I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT TAMIYA CARS. I KNOW HPI ,ASSOC,XRAY,MEGATECH,BUT NOT TAMIYA.ARE THEY STRONG LIKE XRAY,HPI.NEED INFO TO MAKE FINAL DECISSION. BY THE WAY I SAW THE WOLD CHAMPIONSHIP RACE. WHERE MARK RHIENARD WENT TO BATTLE WITH OHARA AND WON WITH THE 416.THAT 416 CAR LOOKS VERY PLANTED. WWW.TAMIYABLOG.COM CHECK IT OUT.

It's a great car. I currently run the 415 MSX MRE and I must say it's a tank. I've only had 2 DNF's in a whole season of parking lot racing and one was due to a broken RP wheel. If you plan on crashing a bit, order some spare lower control arms, front & rear uprights, and 46mm hinge pins (you don't need the gold ones). It's also probably a good idea to replace the 42mm aluminum steering tie-rods with titanium ones ($16 for Tamiya blue ones on eBay).

If you can hold out, you should probably order the new "Worlds Edition". It won't be out till Jan, but it has the parts that should be found on Rheinards car. I think guys have found them for $440 at RC Champ or one of the other Hong Kong online stores..

I have a 415 msx/mre car that I added the msxx stick pack conversion to. I run a CORE 5000 Lipo in it and use the car for Trans AM racing. No issues so far.
