I've gone down as low as 2mm spacers. We have some tight s turns and 180's and going that low has worked great.

You can definitely flip the belt on the Exotek. You still get the hardware to do the older style "ear" with the newer chassis. It may look weird, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. You will break the chassis before you break the ear.

As for performance, I have yet to run it on asphalt, only carpet, but so far I find it to have more steering than the X. Next time im going to try it with the lipo top plate (instead of X top plate), I think this will be an even better combo

ok changed camber to 2 and 2.5 and change droop from 6 to 5mm on front and from 5 to 4mm at rear,and lowered inner front camber links from 5 to 3mm.
should i leave the rear camber link as it is at 4mm?
racing is tomorrow,i should find out if it s better and let u know guys,thanx

Yes, 4mm in the rear. You don't want to change too many things at once. Give that a try before making anymore changes.

Wonder if anyone here have tried the exotek lipo kit for the car, as I cannot find the tamiya lipo kit in any of the webshops I use to buy.
Also thinking of the Smoken one, let me know it this 2 options are ok.

I've been running the Exotek 416XL for a while and I really like it. The car handles well and I love the carbon battery strap, since I don't like tape

Fabricio

PDR, thanks for the reply, I was looking at speedtech and it is out of stock the Tamiya one, also on mushroom,rcmart, rcmarket and rcmodel which are the webstores I am used to buy it is out of stock too, so maybe I am going to order from Exotek.

this may sound like a stupid question but why does the 416 seem to shred rear belts so much in modified touring?

Fabricio

Well checking on the Tamiya website it says that the lipo upgrade kit for the TRF416X is discontinued, does someone of you guys heard something about it?
It is a shame if Tamiya have done that, I am really disapointed with that.
Will try to grab a Smokem or Exotek kit.
Thanks for the help.

Hi All

Does anyone know the size of the layshaft bearings for the 416x, in mm if possible please? I am in urgent need of some new ones and knowone stocks Tamiya around here, but I can get bearings if I know the size, the manual does not seem to give the actual size just a part number.


Thanks

I have to believe Tamiya released the 416x Lipo chassis and then discontinued it to boost the sale of the new 417. (everyone would just get the upgrade chassis.)

I have the Tamiya lipo chassis and it balances perfectly on balance dots without any additional weights. I have added two 7gram weights to the sides of the steering rack to make our legal weight (1380). mine weights in at 1384 race ready.
