Default TRF501 run or shelf
Just prepared an immaculate 2nd hand 501 and put the one way in the front. Was going to shelf it but after just driving it realised its phenomenal - is it up to the job these days?

Sure is, no doubt about it. The 511 is an evolution not a revolution except the 501X is a PITA to maintain, too many little bits and some awkward design elements that make some simple track-side fixes and adjustments downright painful.

Driving wise however it'll still mix it with the best, drive it like you stole it.

Do IT!

I've got the steel gears coming for the gear diff so that will hopefully reduce maintenance to the car (Changing ball diffs is a pian trackside).
