I can't translate lol.

But surely it must come with body, wing and undertray, its pointless as you cant just slap any old body on due to the motor pos etc.:confused:

Col.;)

It is cheeky, as like you say, not many bodies will fit! I'd bet 501x bodies would though, and maybe the tateego? Not that I can find the latter anywhere though!

Still, looks like their separate from what Chris has translated, just hope the body is out at the same time as the kit or it's a bit silly!!

They will release a "version 1" of the body. Must surely mean that they will release at least "version 2"? Maybe that its why the TRF511 is sold without body?

I think that the new optional rear suspension arms (54142) are prepared to take the "Satoshi-special" when you move the shock absorbers to the rear of the car. Also easier now when they have rearranged the camber mount?

The scheduled realease date for both items (54133 and 42139) is march 21.

I think there will be more versions in the future of the TRF511 body (Ver.2, Ver.3, Ver..).
I assume the TRF501X bodies can be used too. However at the moment I'm using the Jconcepts B44 body for my 501X.

I hope the TRF511 Ver.1 body is the one Hupo was using at the Euro's 2008. Let's wait and see...

TRF511 Body and wing (see picture below)

That sure does look like the Euros body that Hupo used.

Anyway, I like the idea of no body included... I agree it is difficult to find a body that fits, but gives the buyer a choice of what they want.

Me, I am sticking with the Azarashi Tateego! I :wub it!

Do you know who may have the Tateego shell available??

My current one has too many holes, one from before I got a PT, and another as I've moved the aerial position.

You can order direct from Team Azarashi or they also have an eBay store... I just looked and it looks like rcmart is selling the Tateego body and wing package on eBay also (and probably on www.rcmart.com too).

They have posted some info about the TRF511:

:drool:, but I can't afford one now! :mad:

Rear arms look interesting - you've got the option of mounting the shocks on the back of the arms which seems to be prefered by some Tamiya drivers.

Might have to try this out on the Durga :thumbsup:

Reinforced drive belt, eh? Time to really tighten up that slipper! lol

Now some aluminum spur pulleys and I'll be really happy.

The centre one way gives you one alu pulley, and can be locked!

Posted a few pictures and comments on the TRF511 here:

The car looks good and like a good improvement on the already excellent TRF501X. It might look like the old car but there's very few carry over parts. Basically the steering, dampers and diffs and some other bits... Most of the rest is new.

Got any questions I can try answering here.

Good pics!!

Question: Did it have the new driveshafts released recently? Or are they options?

Jimmy/Kentech or anyone else, are those Durga front hub carriers? They look like they really shroud the driveshaft!

Yes it uses the new driveshafts and to my eyes yes they are Durga hubs.

Hi,

looking at getting both sets of WO driveshafts plus the hubs for my worlds!

do you know if they are the standard DB01 Hubs or the Carbon Reinforced ones?

also it looks like they are using the plastic rear hubs as well, does anyone know the reason and are they the old TRF501 ones or new version?

thanks for anyone's help!

I cant see me getting this new car but I would be quite interested in seeing what parts would retrofit my worlds.

I like the design changes, at first glance no changes but when you actually pay a bit more attention the design chnages are easily noticeable. I like the better design of the centre alloy section, as the esc wires can now be better placed. I wish I had kept the TRF buggy, still now I have a reason to buy another one:p

I did not notice that until Welshys post... the ESC wires go completely under the rear belt! Damnit, I will end up buying one sometime this year (before next indoor season... August-ish '09)! :drool::wub:eh?:
