Matt, I think if flipside is wearing out his B4FT after one meeting, that maybe there is a deeper underlying issue that needs resolving

Is the Tamiya die-hard club like the masons? Full of doctors and other rich folk? LOL

If each car was hand delivered by Pidge, who then came into your house and helped build it I could understand.

the first wouldnt be viable, but i recon if you paid then he would build it for you

Maybe

But I'm not even a tamiya die hard, was just guessing

I would spend the money on an AC CR2 instead!

You got the same email I did Good news on the suspension holders, on rctech sounds like the plastic ones may not be the best..

I usually find Stella great, just been struggling a bit on the preorder side this time!

Those rear uprights may well prove useful on the 511, I know they used 0.5 ones on the 501 at some point which weren't released. One of mine is poor on low grip traction at the rear so a bit more toe in works for me

Sorry if I spoiled your surprise Dave. Won´t happen again.

Really looking forward to building it. Have´nt built a new car since april last year (my 511).

Oooh look, those rear hubs have copied the Kyosho RB5 alloy rear hubs with the phat bearing on the outside...

Has anyone designed a mid conversion for it yet?

Has someone confirmed the 201 defintely comes with good quality ballstuds and not the made of cheese 511 ones?

Love those rear hubs, the K ones look funky, looks like more expense sigh!! Good tuning tip though, my 511 was awesome indoors on sloppy stuff except needing more traction out of corners, hoping these will help!?
