Any of you Tamiya guys have an extra set of 3H pistons (53573)? Shoot me a pm if so.

1. It's exactly 2.0:1
2. HB Cyclone Front belt, XRay T1 Rear Belt
3. 2.055:1
4. Likely the same as above, but some report that it's too tight..
Unfortunately it was the first time I ran the MSX on carpet with rubber, but for me the times were phenomenally greater than what I've ever done on the TA05.. then again, 2 different chassis, different weights, but I knew that it was allowing the motor to run at full speed without hinderance. I'm sure foam would work just the same, but perhaps a bit tighter belts.. but still not as tight as you would with a 16T center..
I believe the MRE car's new steering also changed the upper deck's hole positioning.. you'll likely need to get an MSX top and bottom chassis with the standard steering rack.

you need to use the Cyclone....but that is to loose.
i fitted the Cyclone belt ....but as it was very loose i didnt take the car for a spin. i gave up on the 37/18 project as the x-ray belts on a 35/18 combo is a better solution.
also i can fit the large diff plates(x501) on the old 35 pullies.
so i find the 35/18 combo better giving a IR on 2.05:1

Ed- Really nice job on that spreadsheet that you posted above. It makes it really easy to calculate roll center and remove the mystery. Wish we had one as easy to use for the TC5.

bearings
Can someone confirm the size of the bearings for the front and rear hubs? The instructions only list a part number and not a size.
Thanks

Outer hole on the rear hubs - I've always found it helps to settle the rear end of the car down, makes it less snatchy.
D-D on the front - almost a must if using a front one-way, helps to calm the front end down.
If the grip is up as well, raise your roll centres to help carry corner speed.
