Gutted, they had an M05 Ver II Pro that I procrastinated on for $105 US.
I hope they keep carrying the parts though. I placed an order for some shims and bearings for my 419 on Friday last week they were on my desk in Sydney on Monday morning.

Nope. Parts are disappearing too.

They had full typical spares for the 419 a few weeks back, now they just have a few of the split blocks.

I ordered some stuff from rcmarket this week. Pricing was pretty good. Let's see how fast.

Definitely going to miss being able to order $10 of parts I'm in no hurry for and paying $2 delivery via SAL though!!

Good luck getting TRF parts from toy traders!

luck will not get you anything.

They don't import anything with a TRF header card.

And their pricing for spares is well, not globally competitive let's say.

Don't even begin to discuss delivery times.

Their major customer is Hobbyco selling paints and basic kits. they don't do TRF. Guess it's back to the Marts and Markets. THough Stella also has some good pricing.

Reedy Race Set Up from Marc Rheinard cleaned up.

This is from his facebook?

Cause it contradicts the Kiyo sheet in quite a few spots. Wheelbase and inner link heights for a start I noticed.

Posted by Marc on his FB page. Is different than the other one that was published earlier as you noticed....

Yes. It's the one from his FB page. If it's different then I either made a mistake or he switched it on his page. Please point out the difference and I will double check the work. I also have Kiyo's version which is why I made one adjustment as you will see in the notes on the sheet.

Huh...I just noticed the difference as you mentioned...the wheelbase is different.

Could be a different set up from a different round or Kiyo and Marc have different recollections.....

I trust Kiyo. I think MR has edited a previous sheet and not changed a few things correctly.

Only thing I found a bit "strange" with Kiyo's sheet was the wheelbase. It seems a bit long for more of a technical track... would have expected a shorter one... (like on Marc's sheet)....

Here's Kiyo's version cleaned up. The differences are the wheelbase, which I can understand. It may have been something they tried that gave them uber stability. Cambers are a little different and the front went from a 1mm camber link shim to a .5. Also, the Kiyo version has more weight in the car.

Can anyone recommend a starting FDR for the 419 for a medium size asphalt track with one good straight running 17.5t blinky,
if a small spur gear is chosen I don't seem to have a lot of movement with the motor.
any help appreciated.
