I will most likely use the Tamiya spool up front so I won't have this problem...your feedback helps if I decide to use the front one-way. Thanks

So now if I use the front spool, I need to get the TA05 locked center pulley. To get the proper 2.25 drive ratio which everyone is looking to achieve.

Or....I can just stick with the stock 415 stuff...although the white diff pulley's look trick
No problem Carl, Ill be hitting you up for answers when my MRX4 arrives

any full assembly from the TA05 wont fit in the 415 as the front belt in the 415 runs down the centre, and the 05 is offset. So thats why they are putting the 05 pulley on the 415 spools and one ways. I think thats what you were asking??? Shouldnt matter if your using the spool or the oneway on the 415, you can still use the TA05 one way pulley on the 415 parts. I just bought a set of 415 pulleys a few weekends ago, and Keith Yu then shows me his MSX at a recent race event and tells me how much better the TA05 pulleys are on the MSX.... doh!

thank you...I did not realize this??? So the 415 layshaft pulley (either fixed or dual one-ways) are the same # of teeth as the TA05?

I just figured a dry setup with more droop and more ride height would be the go for a wet setup, but we don't race in the wet here in Australia, much to my disgust.

Ummm, with gearing it is either acceleration or top speed. Especially with different wound motors.

Do you run your car in a track or parking lot? We need to know how long is the straightaway to determine the gearing or you will just end up burning your motor. If you have been to the PS1 track, you gear it at 7.3, that's 32Tpinion and 102Spur. I hope this helps.
