I saw an NIB Asute and SEALED dyna storm on ebay today...

Alot of Vintage guys are upset that Tamiya made a new car.
But I would think it would saturate the vintage market not hurt it.

The Dyna and Astute would defintly get beat by this newer car.
I like the carbon fiber and bling bling the Dyna and Astute have,
but plastic is the way to go in 2wd. #1 parts will be cheap if you
break something. #2 parts will be aplenty because it uses
the same parts a DB01 and 501x uses. #3 Tamiya wont stop
making parts for the DB01 and 501x due to this car coming out.

Enough talk and babble, Im dying to see my car this week.
But I wont be able to build it for a month because it will be
on lay-a-way...

I replaced the stock ball connectors used in steering linkage and on caster blocks.
On the caster blocks I use screw + ball nut instead. Same as on the rear hubs.
On steering linkage and uprights I use #53969 steel ball connectors.

Those of you who have a 501X or 511 know how good those stock ball connectors are...

Some pics of my TRF201. First time I tried liquid mask.
Wife thinks it looks a bit boring. She´s probably right.

Took my car for her first run, Only running a silver can so the chassis wasn't exactly pushed anywhere near its limits but I was well impressed with the pure ease of driving it, and how stable it was.

I'll have to get her to a club meet before I can work out what gearing I'm going to run and to see how competitive it is against the lads and their B4's. (Bearing in mind that drivers win races, not cars)

Anyhow, a one minute vid taken at my personal track.Its not flash but it does me fine.
