I'll be running it in a 4300 brushless/lipo class. Thanks for any info you can give.
The original TRF415 is a very good carpet car, mainly because it has a stiffer chassis then the following models. The MS is strictly for asphat, the MSX(same as the refine 2), is a good carpet choice, because you can get a 4MM thick lower chassis for the increased stiffness needed for carpet, in addition, the MSX has the easy diff access front and rear bulkheads, that the original TRF415 didn't have. The MRE and MSXX have the improved steering and more efficient drive-train.
