What is the part number for the new ball cups that only team drivers has access to?

I can only find tamiya #51283 reinforced ball cups for the 501x as these are the only reinforced ball cups from tamiya I can find, but looked at some online sites and it says the item was added to their site in 2007. Surely its not these are they?

edit.....51283 came with the db01, so the reinforced ball cups are still crap

want to build another tamiya, but with some quality tamiya ball cups, not like their crap that is included in the 501 and db01 kits that strip ball cups pretty easy. And not going the 4.3mm tc5/hb/losi/rpm route again.

I've been running mine virtually every week this year and I haven't popped a single one of the "crap" ones, or bent them. I am beginning to think it was a batch that had a problem, last summer the ones I had bought the previous spring were rubbish and kept popping, but my kits and spares bought in the autumn are fine.

I think they had a bad batch of 416 arms at the same time, so am wondering if they had a plastics issue for a while...

Where are they on eBay??

Saw the TRF 201 at my LHS. Buggy looks good, quality is really good. It's a pity it doesn't come with body shell, wing and rims...

Not sure why you didn't find them, but seller has listed some more --> http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NIB-Tamiya-RC-...item519358e3d1

and body's --> http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NIB-TAMIYA-TRF...item588820e7bb

Ball cups in the kits are grey, which means that since they have the same part# it will likely be a running change.

RRP/SRP with body and wing is £330 (OMfG)....for what is basically a B4FT with a Tamiya sticker on it.

What makes the 201 £125 more expensive than the B4FT then??

If each car was hand delivered by Pidge, who then came into your house and helped build it I could understand...but £330 seems stupidly OTT pricing imo.
