i use between 50 & 100 grams under my lipo. average 80.

Springs - get the harder ones. green and then some 511 blue's.
i use .5 degree rear hubs everywhere.
pistons - 1.3 x 2 hole & 1.4 x 2 hole

Lee is the under weight you run with the brass or carbon battery strap

to add to the 201 kit - i advise

-rudebits brass
-option springs

Then once you want more stuff:

-.5 degree rear hubs
-blue bling
-Ghea pistons
-Rudebits carbon strap

;)

Where do yo get spring kits, rear hubs, blue bling etc from? In fact any Tamiya spares?

lee gets everything direct from tamiya. Everybody else uses fusion hobbies, rcmart, mushroom etc as there is not much spares support in the uk. hope this helps

tony6187 04-08-2010 03:59 PM

qare the .5 hubs out yet?

DCM 04-08-2010 04:04 PM

August 18th I beleive, along with the alloy squat blocks RF and RR for it to!

Ebay is good Dan when you know the part numbers, easy way of buying from HK/Malaysia/Japan

The 201 comes pretty much hopped up out of the box compared to the 511 though.

The zero degree alloy rear hubs are part number 53962 but they are only bling and stronger. I run them on my 511.

DCM 04-08-2010 05:25 PM

I am inclined to get the 0.5' rear hubs, but the big upgrade I am doing, is the alloy suspension holders.... otherwise the only other upgrade I done, is the imperial front axles.

They offer rear camber link height adjustability that the stock ones don't. So they are not "just bling".
