I am thinking of buying a Tamiya 501x we, but I just wondered how easy is it to buy parts in the UK.
Can anyone tell me where is the best place to buy bodies and undertrays, wishbones etc? Thanks Chris |

Yeah go to HK for parts, takes days to reach the UK, and theres quite a bit to be had, i just bagged a few parts missing from one i just bought, the chassis is MINT, but a few parts were just missing, real silly bits that take an age to find lol, grabbed a new undertray from www.rcmodel.hk too hope that helps.

I just use EBAY. Once you type 501x millions of parts pop up. They are mostly based out of HK as well but better prices than anywhere on the web.

Just a really dumb Q, but does a 511 body fit direct onto the 501? Quite taken with the body TBH, thought about bagging one.

In the US, speedtechrc.com, hkshobby and TamiyaUSA all carry parts. I am missing a US seller. I also like the Japanese sellers on ebay, not a fan of HK sellers because I hate waiting 2 weeks.

Tamiya USA really don't like shipping to the UK, especially as Tamiya has a distributor here

You answered your own question my friend. I think TamiyaUSA only ships to America, could be wrong though.

Yes it does. I followed the cut out lines and it fits the 501 without issue. It just has slightly different mounting holes in the undertray. Just line up before drilling. James |

My 511 body/wing and and spares such will be coming to the hobby shop thursday.
3 more days and I'll be working on this project. They had to do a special order for me to get the stuff in, as thier distributer doesnt carry 511 stuff. But that's fine with me just a longer wait. ![]()

Today is thursday, so I assume I'll be getting the goodies today.
I'll let you know later on. I have white paint for the body. A local guy here has a website to wrap shells. www.tnt-fx.com Tres also sponsors Ryan Lutz, so you know the stuff is high quality stuff.
