Hi Guy's,
I bought my TRF415MSX MRE second hand and I did not get the original shock oil included, the car works extremely well so can someone tell me what weight oil comes with the MRE car.

Thanks,
Daniel

Tamiya 300 oil...

Are you sure the original oil is now in the shocks?

are you running carpet or asphalt?

No, I'm not sure that the original oil is in the shocks, but I at least wanted to get a start point. The car came set up exactly as it should in every other aspect, so I have to asume that the oil is kit oil.
I'm running asphalt and slicks BTW

Thanks

stock oil is a little on the soft side for some, especially with 3 holes pistons.. but it s quite a nice base for outdoors on a twisty slippery track.
try yellow springs and yellow sway bars all around - then work your way from there as you like.

Hey TRF 415 MSX Guys. . . . .did you know that the TRF 415 Marc Rheinard Edition is Discontinued? I`ve checked it on the Tamiya USA site and saw it is Discontinued.

I`m not a Belt Drive Kit Guy(I like Shaft Drive Kits.....I have a TB Evo 5); but I was thinking about getting a TRF 415 MRE.....and you guys sound like a cool group.
-But since it`s a Discontinued Kit(and Tamiya Parts are hard to get in New York City); I`ll wait until a new(er) Tamiya Kit comes out. . . . .Or.....

Take Care

Hey Harsh Guy; what do you mean by PM?

I like Tamiya`s top-of-the-line kits. But I was thinking of making my 1st Belt Drive Kit/Car a Yokomo Masami Special. Have anyone seen that thing?
It`s a good looking kit. It looks like it runs well.

PM= Personal Message. Yokomo BD's are known for tweaking even if you clip a bot-dot and can drive away. I would stay away from them . The MRE you might be able to find on ebay if you look hard enough lol
