When to look around to buy a few TRF511 hop-ups (alloy steering, ti screws/shafts etc) Not much around that are a fair price.
Wonder if you can order the rear Hex's just by themselves.

Which store is that?

Forums are bad! The more I look at the 503 the more I can justify in my mind why I should buy one

Unless some gives me $600 as a gift, there's no way my wife would let me buy another RC Car at the moment! Still, it can't stop me wanting one!

My 502 went well on the weekend, it was quick and capable, sadly my lack of track time ended in a poor result for the 502X.

In fact I'm saving dollars for RC-10 Worlds Car with a justification 'its for my birthday in April'. A $600 503 on top of that would put me in the dog box for some time

I just remind my Wife, Its still cheaper than when I use to do motorsport.

Funny thing with the rear Hex's, I wont be using them for a while untill all my wheels from my 502 (still running Pins) are past there use by date.

I just started to build mine

Very nice

Looks like the new shock towers are 3.5mm they look "BEEFY"


Post up more pic's when you can please

Will be worth it.

[patez]

And its ready to go!!



The manual setup was a bit different what i expected. Sway bar is there, and 4mm of limiters in the rear shocks.. Also the rear shocks are in relatively "stand up position"

Some info for those thinking of buying a 503, RCMart in Hong Kong currently have the kit listed for $410, and airmail delivery to the UK is $45, so a total of $455 (~£280). Thats the cheapest I have seen it anywhere, so I just ordered one plus a few extras!
