I think I'll get one and keep the 511 - compare them back to back on different surfaces....

Around 13 minutes in you can see the TRF department from the Hobby Show...you will see the TRF502 with all parts laid out separately there...

I still think electrics space is tight, isn't that a low profile servo and only just enough room? Plus not sure you can fit anything in front of the motor with that steering arm?!

Kit looks nice though! End of November then, best get saving pennies!!

you can put a regular sized servo, and put the receiver on top

I dont know of any recent receiver that could not fit on top of a regular size servo

plus if its bigger, the receiver doesnt have to completely sit on top completely

Fit the rx in on its side, you should get a normal size servo in then.

"Only" 3 holes in front damper tower.

Wonder if it will develop any slop in the front alu suspension mount? Hinge pin wears out the alu. Would mean that you have to change a big piece of metal.
Time will tell. Maybe not a problem.

Has there been any mention of a new bodyshell for the TRF502? Couldn't see one in any of the photos.
