just love the 501x
 

i dont know about you guys but i am loving the 501x its tough and good quality allround i checked out the other cars at the track and talked to a few guys and most people dont break much and are happy with theres after owning other brands they all said they were heaps happy as well what do yous think

If only you could buy them and their spares more easily :(

love the 501x
 

dont really have that problem here in australia i just order straight from hong kong and stock up on gears and belts front shock tower havent boke anything yet and ive had some shocking stacks but all good

Looking forward to my 511 arriving from sunny Hong Kong, i've managed to order a 501 under tray in the order by mistake LOL ......... never mind, someone will want one :thumbsup:

Where did you order from in the end?

eTamiya most of it but a few other bits from somewhere else (I forget where).
Hopefully will all be here and built for the PDA two dayer at the end of Feb :thumbsup:

I've raced mine for 2 years now every week, often 2 times a week and aside from bit's like diffs and belts wearing out i've only broken a front shock shaft, front shock tower and rear wishbone.

It's a tank :D

I raced my new (to me) 501 at Faversham last night on the polised wood floor, it went really well, had a good few prangs and nothing broke! There are a few at the club and they are so strong!

The way it drives is a bit of a mix of the CAT SX and the B44 so well happy! I may have to get a 511 soon..............

3 years old
 

I like my 501 as it is strong and fun to drive. Broke two rear uprights last Friday, otherwise no problems. I wonder if DB01 rears will work?

love the 501x
 

it is a tank my first race after a 17 year break, racing in 4wd mod my car handled everything i could throw at it heaps of cartwheels throughout the day (my bad driving and set up) and nothing broke so stoked

Seems about right to me. Mixture from a B44 and Cat SX.

Although Ive pulled faster laps with my 501x over my B44.
I like my B44 but I purchased it for a different style track.

There's nothing on earth driving a smooth driving belt drive car
on high bite clay. Not only do you not have to worry about diffs
getting gritty, but other things as well.:thumbsup:
