On the Tamiya USA website it states it is for the 415MS and 415 with LWS kit. I have just a regular 415 and no LWS. I don't want to get involved with the LWS kit. I don't see the reason for the MSX to require the LWS as it is just bulkheads, shock towers and top deck. Any one care to comment on that?
The MS suspension blocks are closer together as the LW arms are narrower.
I use the std arms on my EVOIV for carpet, you lose the wheelbase length adjustability, as there is no room for shims. Also you will need to use the TAO4SS front arms #53578, which are swept back to retain the proper wheel base length.
