New TRF511 Shock Towers

[Fredrik Emilsson]

I´ve made new shock towers for the TRF511.


The changes that I´ve done makes towers stronger than original parts.

More material around shock mounting holes and tower mounting holes (on the outside).
Removed the outer shock mounting holes on both front and rear tower.
On rear tower I´ve added additional inner holes (Shown in green below).
The unused lower holes at rear tower are removed.
Made the openings smaller.
Will make them in 3.5mm carbon. Might do them in 4mm too (not sure if it´s needed)

Parts will be made by Fibre-Lyte, just like all previous parts.

Sketch below show some of the most important modifications that I´ve done.

Red parts are removed (original design). Green are new.
Now shown are previous thickness around mounting holes.

Are these a direct fit for the TRF 501X? I'm not sure if Tamiya changed the shock towers between the 501 and 511.

[Fredrik Emilsson]

Should fit, same shock towers on 501X and 511.:)
502X has different shock towers.

I took a look at UK seller JT Model, but they still only had 3Racing towers, so they are evidently not the first dealer to stock them.

Fredrik, which model shop (in the Euro zone, as your price is listed in Euros?) has them in stock?

[Fredrik Emilsson]

At the moment jtmodels are only model shop that will have my parts in stock. They will have them in stock beginning of next week.

Outside uk there are no shops at the moment. So you can buy directly from me.

[Jamie.T]

Thanks Fredrik.

As above, we will have these along with many other of the brilliant Fredrik products early to mid next week.

Over the weekend they will be listed on the site ready to purchase, just awaiting a couple of images before listing.

If anybody would like to pre-order, please e-mail or p.m me your order as well as Paypal address and ill send an invoice over.
