The V2 has taken more from the top of the range trf416, it has the shorter suspension arms / a more narrow chassis and the motor is slightly more towards the middle. I just wanted you to be aware that its the latest version available. The benefit is that its the latest version, the issue is that it may have less in common with our ones so we may have less in our collective parts collection that we can share out.

although in the year or so we have been racing them we havent broke much. The only things that have broken are a front upright, and a couple of suspension arms.. but when you consider the speed and size of the track its pretty impressive.

As has been said here before, the only hop-ups I would go for are the tamiya TRF shocks and CVJ's.

here is a link to the shocks we have, again check your favourite shopping sites for the best price

Those are pretty much all the guys have and it manages to keep the schumachers etc at bay

At our club there are 3 TA05 IFS (like the one in your first link), 1 TAO5IFS-R (I would look on the internet to see if you can find one of these as it has all of the essential hop ups.. and more). 2 std TA05's (these have stronger steering arms from the evo4.. vince has this type, its the cheaper one that I had on the links in the other post) And one TA05-ms
