Dug out my 415 that I used to run competitively for a few years last week, to have a run at the local club. Other than the low punch lipo pack I have, it still handled very nicely. The chassis has had a fair amount of upgrades done to it over the years.

Original purchased as a 415MSX in 2006 I have since upgraded to MSX MRE setup with the better steering setup, RC Square aluminium front uprights, Evo V short arms front and rear (so much stronger than the long light arms that the MSX came with), and a lipo battery tray.

I have ordered the RC Square TB03/TRF 416 front and rear aluminium uprights for it, move to the 1050 bearings instead of the crappy small 950s that the 415 used. Hopefully get the uprights and bearings in by the end of the week and give the old thing a full strip down and rebuild.
