511x body
 

Where can I get one?

I have a 501x and I need to finish it off, tidy the wiring up and paint up a body.
Thing is, I really hate the 501 body.
I bought the car cause I love the chassis, I was prepared to tolerate the body but.....nope, want rid of it if possible.

Bought mine on ebay, the only place someone had one in stock at the time. Try the Hong Kong based shops like rcmart.com and rc-mushroom.com, they sometimes have something EU and US shops dont.

Hmmm, looked on the bay already, couldn't find anything.
I'll chech those shops you mentioned.
Thanks!

What about one of the Team Azarishi bodies.. The Tateego body is pretty cool. http://www.team-azarashi.com/prodenglish.html

Thanks very much for the help guys.
:)

Now to decide which one.....

In multiple places it is said, that 511 body needs modification to fit 501 chassis, but I can't find the information on what needs to be modified anywhere. So before I go and buy one (and possibly be disappointed due to modifications ruining the looks of it), has someone fitted a 511 body on 501 and if so, could you post pics on the modifications needed?

Anyone?

I`m after purchasing a new shell for my 501 also and have been looking at the 511 shell as its a very simliar design to the Baldre shell for the Db-01.

Could anyone just confirm that the 511 is a correct fit please? Jimmy?

Andy

I´d be very interested too!

Well, I guess I'll just order the 501 body...

Ok, i`ll confirm this as soon as the 511 shell arrives which i`ve ordered :bored:

Andy

DELETED

can anyone confirm if the B44 body fits the 501x without too much hassle?

If i remember i`ll try it at my next race meeting 1/2/10 (tomorrow) some guys there with b44`s.

Andy

thanks andy, that would be great

Ok i tried a b44 shell on it looks like it might fit but would need some slight adjustment around the front of the shell , also the 501 undertray kicks out at the back end which would also stop it going on as the B44 shell is straight edged on both sides.

Can`t give you a defineat answer as i could only offer the B44 shell upto my 501 .

Hope this helps

Andy

I think the d4 will be the best fit and you can get the sexy jconcepts scoopless too. I saw a 501 running one once.

Your right andy d4 scoopless its the shell on my picture and looks sweet:thumbsup:

thanks for all the input guys, its much appreciated the D4 one looks nice, but scoopless is basically the opposite of what im after, i need lots of scoops to get nice cool air to the motor, out of the 501x, 501x worlds and 511 bodies, which one has the most space inside, im mainly after space around the motor area so i can fit a good heatsink/fan arrangement

The D4 shell looks pretty good, where is good to get one as the car isnt as popular as it once was.

Do SMD bring them the JC shells in for the D4?

I have 2 x 511 shells coming from HK but want to run the car so maybe a D4 one will do for now!

Looks like SMD do!

I'll have to give Jamie or Joe a buzz to see if they have any in stock?

JC0074 - Computer say's Yes in Stock ;)

I`d say the 511 looks like it has the most room,but i haven`t tried it yet still awaiting delivery hopefully this week... so i`ll post back on fitment and space.

Andy

thanks Andy, that would be great

The other thing im thinking is the chassis on the 501 doesnt kick out like the 501 undertray does, so in theory the b44 undertray could bolt underneath and then the body should just work fine, maybe with a few mods up the front of it

I would expect this would work

Andy

Andy - If you remember we tried looking at whether D4 shells and undertrays fit Durgas and vice versa, and decided that if the chassis didn't have the flaring they would. Since the 511 doesn't have that flaring (but the shell does) a D4 shell should fit.
In fact the whole reason we looked into it was that the Team Azarashi shells for the 501/511 also claim to fit the D4, BJ4 and B44.

511 bodyshell fitted on a 501
 

Bodyshell arrived today,it fits really well on a 501

Some pictures below for reference (sorry for the glare it was sunny)

It depends on how you trim the depth of the shell, but theres ton`s of room!

Its basically a Baldre bodyshell without the motor bulge.

Andy ;)

Andy you're an utter star. I've been wondering about this for months!

I guess I best order myself a 511 shell!


Julius.

Looks very nice! Thanks for posting!

Glad to help!

Can`t wait to get it sprayed now

Andy;)

Hey Andy, thanks for the help, nice pics, is there two versions of the 511 body? and if so, which one do you have?

thanks

Awesome, I'll have to get one eventually.

The original 501x shell......it's a shell only it's mother could love imo....

Im the complete opposite, I love the look of the 501x shell but I think the 511 shell looks like a blob!

:lol: i totally agree!

Awesome pic`s tho any road :thumbsup:

Andy

Yeah thats my car! I've not seen the 511 shell in the flesh but I dont really like the look of it compared to most other shells, it's a bit to shapeless for me.

so you KEEP saying....this is a thread on the 511 body
