Sounds interesting, my 414's have retired to the shelf (Although my 414m2 still gets a run from time to time).
please post pics of what you are thinking of doing, it will be great to see, and I think i have enough spares to build a spare car, so I might change my mind later on.

Thinking of updating the lower deck and shock towers. Any interest in making a bulk order to get the cost down. I'd like to narrow the chassis to the width of a shorty pack. Re-vamp the shock towers to be thicker and more adjustable. Move the rear body post to the outside of the shock tower. And some extra holes for a 416 steering rack, chassis stiffener, change the design of the front graphite to accept the plastic bumper from the 416/417/ta06. Don't know if it will actually make the car faster around the track. But, it will looknbad ass. And maybe we can get proper belts made to install spec r gear diffs. I still want the chassis to accept saddle pack, standard pack, shorty packs.
Please respond with your feed back.

I like this car so much that I sold my 417 and won't buy the 417X, the first time in 5 years that it happens I won't buy a new TRF TC this year. Instead I will put all the money into this project instead.

I'm personally not capable of drawing the design. But, I know a few that are. The shock towers will be redesigned with more shock holes and either more camber link holes or metal mounts that connect to the shock tower, so the camber links will be adjustable like all the modern tamiya cars.
