i`ll probably like one of the 1% shells that dont fit the xm :woot:

what size lipo you using there ?

Looks like a shorty to me, its what i used, and the car handles great with them too.

lee

it seems it need some mods to fit .

Nope, fits right in, well did for me!

Lee

cool

anywhere were to buy the swing shafts ?????

Ebay has a few sets:D

have you got a link to it as i cannot find them

Does anyone know a shop that has the rear shock towers for the XMW (#13404036) in stock?

They are out of stock on all the shops I have looked at.

Stella Models at a guess!

Lee

Been looking at Stella aswell, been out of stock for weeks.

But they suddenly showed stock this weekend, so I quickly ordered some.

sorry to ask again ......any link to the drive shaft please ?whats the part number ?? thanx

1. Download the manual on http://www.tamiya.com/english/rc/manuals.htm
2. Look up the part number - 13404036
3. Look on eBay and Google with the tag 'Tamiya 13404036' - on eBay make sure to include the description.

eBay has only a single hit, but Stella Models has one in stock currently.

Maybe I'm lucky with my timing, but are these parts really that difficult to find? If so, just contact Fibre Lyte, I'm sure if you help supply a sample component or a high-resolution scan with one or two basic measurements, they'll be able to list it on their website as a component they can manufacture on-order :)

And besides Stellamodels, the website http://www.modellbau-seidel.de/ has loads of Tamiya parts that are hard to find elsewhere - I couldn't find a few 201XMW-specific parts, but they've had many 'standard' 201 parts in stock in the parts, so they may be able to help anyway when you'd contact them.

Seidel does not have anything unique to the XR or XM conversions, or the XMW, nor the kits themselves.

Don't know why, send him an email a while ago and he said that it was coming, he has the 503 and parts tho.

you are looking at the wrong item

I was referring to Roel's post... Yet the same principle applies for the driveshafts, and you'll find very easily through Google that Modellbau-Seidel has them in stock.

If you read back you will see that I already had the part# and already found them to be in stock suddenly at Stella after checking various shops regularly for some time.

are the DB01 rear shafts a good fit for the 201 ??
http://www.rcmart.com/tamiya-54119-d...h=595_744_1011

They are the actual units that are also included with the (original) TRF201... :) Afaik, the only difference with the 201XMW/503 shafts is that you fix the cross-joint pin with the grub screw instead of a clip around the outside.

Cool so any third party universal shafts made for the DB01 will fit the xmw. Good to know
