Fredrik?
 

Anyone know if Fredrick and his products are still on the go? Would like some shock towers but not seen him on here for a while.

Thanks

Dave

I´m been away for a while, sorry about that.

Have also been working on some new things, but not had the time to finish them. Will soon be ready.

What parts do you need?

try JT models if your in the uk? :thumbsup:

Really just like a pair of your thick shock towers for the 502.

They still available ?

Regards

David

I needed some 511 diffs covers front and rear and lipo tray....:wub
Nice to see you here again Fredrik.

I have 4mm rear shock towers in stock, 4mm front on their way.

Front and rear 3.5 shock towers in stock.

@olefiloux: Many thanks!:) Even though I´ve officially don´t make them any more, I will see what I can do.

Any plan to make 511 gear box covers that allow geared diffs to be fitted ?

Already have. :)

Great, if you could let me know when they are available i will take a pair.

Regards

David

same :)

will the new diff covers work with the standard diffs ?

Thanks Fredrik.
I would like to tell you that i 'm only running gear diffs. As I guessed that there's new diff cover for this....

Redesigned diff covers works with both ball and gear diff.

Will also soon have 502X 4mm shock towers in stock.
Rear tower with wing mount holes 5 mm higher than stock tower.

Save a pair for me :) ive opted to run ball diffs rather than remove your original covers until they are available

I'm looking for a set of front a rear covers for the 511 that take both ball n gear diffs
Can you post when they are available ?
Cheers

put me down for a set of the new diff covers please

Unless I have done something spectacularly wrong, the gear diff works fine with my 501x diff cover.

Yes, the 501X has less material on the right side.
New 511 diff covers have thinner walls and some other minor adjustments.

Think those who have "old" version can modify them to fit gear diff.

hi Fredrik I would like to order the front and rear gear diff covers for the 511 also

thanks

Tod

hey Fredrik are you looking at making some more covers, as I have a brand new 511 with the gear diffs and ball diffs and don't really want to use it unless I can get the covers

Yes, will make more of them. :)
I´ve had quite a few request both here and via e-mail.

New updated versions fit 511 with gear and ball diffs.

Sorry for not being so active at Oople atm.
I´ve been traveling and also working with new parts.

that is awesome news what email can I get you on or just PM you?

any idea when you will have the covers available
?

Again, sorry for not being so active here...

Should have them ready next week.

that great news mate, look forward to hearing from you..:)

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

Dc

Sure David, will do.:)

Will also post here when I have them in stock.

502 shock towers
 

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

David

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.

any idea when the diff covers will be ready for the trf 511?

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.

No Problems at all Fredrik you are doing all of us a favour, just let me know when they are ready and I will send you the cash

Tod

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:

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:

Rear diff cover.

Those who want can now order them and I will ship next week.

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

YES PLEASE!!!!

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!

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

thanks.
