Finally, the long awaited 416X kits have arrived at Tamiya USA.  I'm really excited to start running this kit.  The changes are subtle, but should make for a car that drives completely different than the 416WC.  My WC has always been competitive on outdoor tracks, and even on carpet with rubber tires.  However, with the opening of the high bite indoor asphalt track WCRCR, I just haven't been able to find the steering I need without sacrificing traction or driveability.

I still have a couple of practice/race days left in my WC kit, and I'm going to focus on doing as much suspension testing as I can so that I can apply the knowledge to the build of my X kit.

I'll be back soon to report on how the new car is doing!
