Hi Fredrik,

Can you please add my name to the list of people that want diff covers for the 511, I will have a few of them off you for my team drivers, and of course for myself.

Cheers

502 shock towers
 
Hi Fredrick, just wondering if you have finished the shock towers yet? Looking for a set now.

David

Fredrik Emilsson 18-06-2012 08:40 AM

Sorry David, did´nt notice that you had posted a question.

I have ordered parts from Fibre-Lyte, for both 511 and 502X.
I´ve decided to offer parts on both "normal" 3.5 carbon and the 4mm parts in carbon 660.

Carbon 660 has alternating layers of carbon fibre and fibreglass. It looks the same on the surface as the standard plain weave mounts, in theory it is a little tougher due to the fibreglass.

I will stock the following parts:
TRF502X Rear shock tower high wing mount (5 mm up) in 4 mm carbon 660: 18 euros
TRF502X Rear shock tower high wing mount (5 mm up) in 3.5 mm carbon: 18 euros

TRF502X Rear shock tower in 4 mm carbon 660: 18 euros
TRF502X Rear shock tower in 3.5 carbon (already in stock): 18 euros

TRF502X Front shock tower in 4 mm carbon 660: 15 euros
TRF502X Front shock tower in 3.5 mm carbon (already in stock): 15 euros

TRF511 Front shock tower in 4 mm carbon 660: 15 euros
TRF511 Front shock tower in 3.5 mm carbon: 15 euros

TRF511 Rear shock tower in 4 mm carbon 660: 18 euros
TRF511 Rear shock tower in 3.5 mm carbon: 18 euros

TRF511 LiPo_carbon tray with carbon middle piece and stainless steel center weights: 25 euros
(2 stainless steel weights (17 and 26 grams) are included. So you can add 17, 26 or 43 grams.)

Again, my apologies for not replying faster. It´s been a bit too much to do.

Fredrik Emilsson 01-07-2012 10:25 PM

My apologies, have been bit too busy with my daytime work. As I´ve probably mentioned before, I´ve been traveling a lot.
Did´nt expect it to be so much to do...

But now I will go on vacation, so I will have more time for these things.

So I will check if I can have the parts made this week. Yes, thought I would have had them ready long time ago, but...

Parts mentioned above are being made by Fibre-Lyte.
I´ve updated the previous post with prices.

Some additional info about TRF511 shock towers:


The changes that I´ve done makes towers stronger than original parts.
  • More material around shock mounting holes and tower mounting holes (on the outside).
  • Removed the outer shock mounting holes on both front and rear tower.
  • On rear tower I´ve added additional inner holes (Shown in green below).
  • The unused lower holes at rear tower are removed.
  • Made the openings smaller.
Sketch below show some of the most important modifications that I´ve done.

Red parts are removed (original design). Green are new.
Now shown are previous thickness around mounting holes.

[QUOTE=trowta;682144]any idea when the diff covers will be ready for the trf 511?[/QUO

I second that, I've been waiting to hear back from Fredrick for ages...any news would be great!?! :thumbsup:

Fredrik Emilsson 09-08-2012 10:38 AM

I know, it feels like years ago. Sorry guys...:(

I received a few today, will get more beginning of next week.

New ones has been improved in several ways.
Fits both gear and ball diff (old news...)
Sits even better/more secure.
Easier to install diffs, less stress on belts.
They can be used with both 3.5 and 4mm shock towers without any modification.

Some pics:

http://www.cadelit.se/bild/TRF511_ne...low_stress.jpg

Cost 25 euros each.
Short front and short rear diff ones.

trowta 12-08-2012 05:16 AM

YES PLEASE!!!!

Fredrik Emilsson 24-08-2012 01:11 PM

All parts in stock, incl diff covers.

Taller Rear Tower?
 
Hey Fredrik - have you considered making a taller rear shock tower, similar to the Atomic Carbon tower for the DB01? The AC tower has two sets of shock mounting holes, stock and 'taller' so that you don't have to cut spring coils to gain the proper ride height.

Looking forward to purchasing a set of front & rear diff covers for my 511 - nice work!

olefiloux 24-09-2012 12:35 PM

I'm looking for a 511 lipo tray.
Is there a real difference between the Tamiya and the Alaste one?

thanks.
