Not sure why the TRF502X doesn't get much love. I figure it's because most of the racers on this forum are racing carpet, or clay, and likely the 511 is superior for that. Where I race the track is dirt and fine gravel, and the open-belt cars don't survive all that great. My 502X has been bulletproof. I put some Durango outdrive boot covers to seal the diff output shafts and the gear boxes have not collected any dust or dirt. So far I am second in my points-series, mainly from always finishing the race in one peice, so hat's off to Tamiya for the quality of the buggy.
Anyways..........I have yet to find a reason to change the set-up from the instructions as the car handles totally great. Very predictable and fast.
