502X Upgrade set
Found this on Tamiya USA Website:
http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/ite...oduct-id=84310 :eh?: Anybody know what it is or have some images? |
Want images too :drool:
|
I have seen the CAD images. The top decks are stiffer, like what Leeroy was testing at Reedy. The rear tower is also 3mm taller and thicker, again, what Lee was already testing.
New inner toe blocks to increase rear toe. They look the same. The camber mod is a little different. It looks like a Rudebits mod, but all one piece aluminum with no carbon fiber. Four pieces total. |

TRF502X Upgrade...
|
Thanks Kentech,
I guess the question is whether the set is worth cost? I have the Rudebits camber link set, the sway bar set and aluminium centre shafts. So how much difference will the new upper chassis decks make and the new rear shock tower? There are also the rear suspension lower mount adjustments and the centre shaft universals. Mmmmmmm....:eh?: I guess it answers that question of 502X or 511X, i.e. which one is TRF developing. Will be interesting to see if TRF brings out anything for the 511 in the future. |

I'm pretty sure I have read somewhere that a 511 upgrade kit is out soon.

re
Mr Lee Martin seems to be using most of the upgrade kit on his car, going by the photo on the Rudebits site, i think the usefull bits would the shock tower and the rear suspension mounts, they probly would realease just the parts seperate later, i see some of them already on the stella site under the db02 section.
The package price works out pretty cheap for what you get considering tamiya prices, plus its tamiya bling and thats hard to resist... I want :D |
Ive ordered the kit from Stella , 86 quid all in !
|
I have it on now and it looks killer

I think everyone's ordered one .
The Stella site hasn't any piccies of the kit in stock now! |
I just ordered one from Stella. Was still in stock at the time!:)
Mmmm, wonder if Tamiya will respond to the Team Associated's B44.2? Bigs Bores and +8mm chassis? +8mm 511's and 502's?????:eh?: |
I ordered one from Stella too, hope it will arrive soon ^^
|
At the end of the day it's all fashion .
I have never an big bores and prob never will unless they come with a future kit. |
well I did I whole bunch of testing and I have to say the upgrade chassis kit and the new steering assembley have transferred this car from a good one to a great one, I was really impressed with the increase in turn in and mid cnr push is non existant now, very impressed, now looking forward to see what the 511 kit will include
