also, whats a fully kitted ta05v2 weigh at? Would it be under weight or just over?
Well, I think one big reason is that you can get a ver.2 & do a good deal of hopups for around $350, while a 416X will START at about $480-500. Plus, as was already said, it does VERY well in stock/spec classes, while the 416's are more meant for mod(though they can certainly be set up for stock & spec classes too). However, weight is a slight issue, I've noticed with mine that I can't get it under 1500 grams yet, while my 416WE easily sits closer to 1350g before I add the neccessary weights to make it race-legal. In the end, though, it really comes down to which you can afford & which one strikes your fancy the most, because both are EXCELLENT cars....
