Tamiya 502x build help -- Lee Martin

[cs8sz]

Hi Guys,

Me and Dad just ordered new 502xs and I have been reading Lee Martin's build guide from TRF Racing he mentions the following upgrades to the standard kit:

Aluminium rear hubs
Drive Shafts
Gold Shock bodies
Blue Screws
Shock stand offs (not sure what these are?)

My Question is what is the difference between these parts and the standard kit parts, in particular I can't find part numbers for these parts

Thanks for the help

Chris

Gold Shock bodies:

42132 HL Cylinder for Aeration dampers (Front, 2pcs) x1

42133 HL Cylinder for Aeration dampers (Rear, 2pcs) x1

Alumninium Rear Hubs:

54246 TRF201 Aluminium Rear Upright (1.0)
or the 0.5 or 0 degree

Driveshafts:

54118 WO Universal Shaft Set Front (2pcs) x1

54119 WO Universal Shaft Set Rear (2pcs) x1

Shock stand offs ( maybe he means the shock bushings made from aluminium instead of plastic:
54205 DB01 Aluminium Bushing (2pcs) x2


The Rear Uprights make the rear stiffer and doens´t create oversteer. The WO Universal Shafts operate slightly better at big angles, the gold shock bodies make the pistons move easier.

Thank you very much that was extermley helpful I have now placed more orders.

On a side point but related does anyone know where to get the front shock tower listed part number (14304113) can't be found on any websites for the 502x. Also the diff gears (19334140) also don't exist. i would really like some spares of these just encase.

Thanks a million.

I don't think anywhere has the shock towers in stock, although champ might do, they had some in on a special order for me, but may have got more! None of the 7 digit parts are available anywhere yet as far as I know!

The diff gears have been released as an option part, it's 54262 I think?

I ordered the diff gears with Ashley 502 hope its here for the petit
