I took the opportunity to get my hands on Lee's 201X on Saturday and it's really nice, good plastics, very tidy.
The option to use B4 front wheels makes a lot of sense to me too, so now 'most' 2wds can share front wheels, awesome. BUT, whether I want one or not is now under question, I'm not sure I'm enjoying rear motor 2wd...

Two things I've been thinking about... (maybe you can answer them, Lee, maybe not)
1. Will the car come with aluminum servo mounts? (The 501X/511s came with plastic mounts and that's ghey.) 2. Will the car use 511/DB01/RC10B4 slipper pads or will they be a new shape?

Some more of the information now floating around on various sites on the TRF201 now added to the TRFracing site on the news page (along with a sneak peak at another new TRF vehicle), and a first stab at hopups/parts added in reviews/tips at http://www.trfracing.co.uk/page_1266421668280.html (All the new parts are there, plus a guess at which hopups from the 511 are relevant too).
As soon as more information is available or I can confirm the radio race car stuff is all definitely right (I'm sure it is but can't find the source right now), it will be added!

QUOTE] Direct fit for B4 front wheels...nice Team TRF does a good job standarizing everything. As Jconcepts wheels do fit the 511/501/DB01, but you need a washer inside the front wheel.  I was thinking Jconcepts B4 wheels anyhow. As you get 4 instead of 2.

I think Pidge has a wheel tip to share when he gets chance
May make it worth getting the option axles as proline rims may have a slight advantage over Tam ones!

By the looks of the pics and the recomended tyres, I bet the 2wd rims are the same width as 4wd Fronts, thus making our shuey 2wd tyres impossible to fit?? Am I right?

I should never have said anything!!!!
I just checked and I'm talking rubbish!! I was thinking I'd prefer Proline due to a difference in the spokes on the rears from what I saw at the weekend, but having just looked they look the same as the Tamiya to me, so probably just as easy to use either!! There is a mod though, just need some pics before I post them up!

Awwww, I thought I was onto something then lol.
I hope this car comes in less than £200 from HK, especialy when its replacing a mint B4 Ft that will just end up sat on a shelf. Now I just need a TRF Tshirt from TamUSA, anyone in the US willing to ship me a couple over?

not looked, but chances are, they are different extras with the car as it is released, so chassis, chassis with body and wing, then with electrics and what not...
