I am leaning heavily towards this car, but after the love affair I had with my Fk05 it’s hard to pull the switch.
One of the tracks I raced at last summer was Open Mod/Foam tires...
The 415 was awesome and required very little setup change from week to week. Especially with foam tires on asphault. That type of racing is not that common but easy to run fast with Mod motors. Our track was about 200x100ft...I ran both the standard and LW type suspension with both being very durable.
I've owned a FK05 and that car is awesome as well. For strictly foam/carpet racing I'd run the FK05. But for any rubber tire or outdoor racing (foam or rubber tire) I like the 415, 415MS, MSX cars.
Any of the cars you mentioned will work well though.
