I know its a different layout with different materials but there's a good chance the geometry should be good. I have quite a few tamiyas and the build quality is top notch. To bring it up to racing spec I'd want TRF Dampers and CVD's as a minimum so I'd factor in the price.
Ive got a 501x and a DB01, which is as good as my 501x, BUT its taken the price of a second hand 501x to get it that way so bear that in mind when hopping up a basic car.
I know its not giving you an easy answer but it might give you something to think about  . |
Thanks, that is a useful answer. It already comes with the parts mentioned (CVDs, shocks) I believe so thats good in that respect. my friend has also won a few club events with it against more pro spec cars, so I am hopeful that it is upto spec. He is selling it to fund a 416.
Just so long as its not a huge step in the opposite direction, the amount of time alone that it takes me to set up the Pro 4 just to get it shimmed correctly and running OK is enough to make me want to switch.
Thanks.
