Tamiya TRF503 announced with picture

[gurnell]

Could somebody tell me what make and model these front hexes are and also where I might purchase them from. I'm looking to add 12mm hexes on the front of my 511 and wanted to keen a similar track width. Thanks

[SiR_Dave]

The 12mm front hexes are made by either RC Square or Active hobby and they are for any Tamiya Drift Chassis.... These can be purchased in Japan or in Hong Kong.

Is there a grab screw on this hex's ?

[SiR_Dave]

No grub screw... the fit on similar to the stock front Tamiya hex..

I Use the 4mm thick 12mm hexes for Tamiya touring cars.
Just dremel or file the thin lip, takes about one min and you have 12mm clamping front hexes

[guinness]

Any new parts out there that will give more protection to the diff's?

[SiR_Dave]

What type of protection..? Belt or internal to the diff??

Tried that a while back and I had issues with the wheel nut not holding to well... might have been the nut I was using though

I know. there is less thread left than with your solution.
I use the Hobbyking serrated nuts, and no dnf`s yet

Rcmart just email me saying that they canceled the order because they realize that STR154DB are out of stock.
Any alternative hex from rcmart?

Sorry to hear that. Front or rear? Upper or lower part? Due to impact/crash?
Send me PM and maybe i can send replacement part.
