thought I would start a thread with what bling/upgrade parts people are buying for their Tamiya's along with the part numbers so if anyone else wants them its easier to locate them all in one place. I know there are loads more but this should start us all off please post them and I'll update the list!

Hope this helps some people :thumbsup:

Those aren't really bling just proper ones to replace the cheese ones.

There are steering arms made for the 501x but I think they've been taken out of production

Part no 53971

Mine came with a 3 racing steering setup and just replaced the bridge with the Tamiya one.

3mm thin Blue alu lock nuts :thumbsup:
54155

4MM Serrated wheel lock nuts. Never lose a wheel again!
42143 Blue Alu
84084 Pink Alu (Go nice with pink wheels :woot: )

Further I can only think of blue screws. Really does raise the overall blingfactor quite a lot.

No, they break, without even hitting anything. A crooked, sideways landing on high grip surface is enough to break them.
