Default Who sells the Tamiya TRF511?
Went to TORCH today and had a great time thank you guys, and won a set of tires to boot. Who sells the TRF511 they look so well made and look amazing to drive. I was told to look at stellar models but no kits. Stll weighing up my options so any pointers would be great.


They are cheaper to buy in hong kong I believe and it works out a damm site cheaper

And Ideas guys. Nice to meet the RC Lazy crew too.

Save a few euros and order the kit from tonisport.de.
369 euros for a nib 511.

What are the differences between the 502 and the 511? Is the 511 the newer model?

The 502 is shaft driven, and the newer car. The 511 is belt driven and the best car money can buy.

Spares are still available, I don't think the 502 was bought out to replace the 511, just as another option.

I would have never considered a tamiya until I saw the build quality yesterday, fantastic. Who sells the spares over here? and they look fantastic on the track.
They looked so planted and balanced.

www.rclazy.com - Mark at RC Lazy was running a 511 yesterday.

I will also add Steve was running the 502 and not the 511

Trf502 discontinued already? That's not heartening to hear. Maezumi and all the Jap drivers are running the 502 according to the Jap racing reports online. I'm over the moon with my 502 and if you're struggling to find the 511, it's a great buggy as an alternative.

It was the belt drive car that impressed me. Was that not the 511?
