Actually, that's not correct, the TB03 axles(which are the same as those for the 416 & the TA05ver.2 for example) are a bit shorter than the ones for the original TA05(I mean the non-reversible suspension, like the TA04 & other older cars). I noticed it when I was building my ver.2(& upgrading what I could with the parts I had on hand), tried the axles from my old TA05 but they were a bit too long(maybe 1 or 2mm, but I'm not sure as I didn't try to measure it, just pulled out some spare axles for my 416 instead), they would cause the wheel hex to wiggle in & out a significant amount....
