Best hop-ups for my TRF501X?
 

Hi,

What are the best otional parts for my TRF501X?
I think the 1-way (front and/or rear) diff, The stabilizer bars and the wide belts...

What do you think?

Also I think about a brushless and ESC to use it in competition... I like the Vector X12, but how many turns? and what ESC?

Thanks

front one-way!, always run a diff in rear, if you had a one-way front and rear you would have no brakes and a oneway in the rear of any car is just awful and not advised! , 6.5t motor x12 and lrp sphere comp07 or sphere tc edition ;)

Ok, thank you man!

So front one-way it's a good option. I think the stabilizer bars would be nice... but the tracks are more and more flat...

And going for more than 6.5T it's a nonsense?

I am going to change to lipo BTW... any good batteries? I have seen the Yeah Racing 5000mAh...

And another question, I have the prolux ni-po charger, I need to buy a balancer for the lipos?

I'm running a 501x worlds with the 6.5 x12 and a sphere TC with no problems. As for the diffs, I've run both the front and the centre one way and I find the centre one way is the best. Its also the cheapest at £16+pp from Hongkong.

My worlds came with F+R roll bars so Ive kept them on but they don't seem to do much. If you want a set then http://davesrcmodels.co.uk/ has them listed at £8.95 +pp which is cheap.

I run the none BRCA trackpower 3200 lipos at the mo which require only slight mods to make them fit. With lipos I dont add any weights (the car is still over the min weight) but the shocks need altering. I use tamiya springs, for indoor I use Medium at the front with 35wt oil and soft at the back with 25wt oil and set the rest of the car to Jimmys setup. I use a Db01/501x hybrid for outside but I'm still messing with the settings.

Hope this helps.

Thought I'd make a quick list of worthy hopups with part No's. I'm guessing yours is the none worlds edition so wont have the big pulley conversion so that would be a good start.


Most of the other upgrades for the 501x are for the 'bling' factor.

Ok, thank you very much sir!
Yes my TRF501X is the non WE... I didn't know the centre diff!

oops double post
