TRF502X carbon parts

[Fredrik Emilsson]

Hiya all,

I´ve (again) been doing some carbon stuff. This time for the TRF502X.

3 new parts.
----------------------------------------------
4 piece LiPo Tray:
Yes, they are carbon versions of Tamiyas plastic tray. No surprises here.


----------------------------------------------
3 piece LiPo Tray (with carbon/brass centerpiece):
LiPo tray made of 2 mm carbon. Comes with carbon middle piece. Brass middle pieces (3 pieces) can also be purchased.
You use the battery post to secure the outer frames.
Price for 3 piece carbon tray: 15 euros.



----------------------------------------------
LiPo Straps:
Wanted to bling the 502X up a bit. Also wanted different design than the 501X straps. These follow the shape of the upper deck.
Made of 2 mm carbon.
They cost 13 euros/pair.

I´ve updated first post with some info.
I´ve also added some pics of first version of the tray here:

For some reason I could´nt add pics in the post.

On final version of the tray and straps I´ve made some minor changes.

Very Nice Fredrik, any idea on price yet please?

[Fredrik Emilsson]

Thanks!

Yeah, carbon LiPo tray cost 15 euros. Straps 13 euros for 1 pair.

Have also made shock towers (front and rear) in both 3.5 and 4 mm carbon. Will be in stock soon.

Forgot to add pic of new middle piece.
Now easier to add or replace the weights. Also easy to adjust position without having to remove the screws:

Pic showing the carbon middle piece and the 3 different weights. Slots makes it easy to add or replace weights. Just "slide" them into place without having to remove the screws. Slots also makes it easy to adjust position (rear/back position).

I ship worldwide.

I have a limited stock of trays and straps. Will have brass weights in stock next week.
Towers will be ready to ship ~2 weeks.
Will have quite a few in stock, so there will be no problem to find shock towers for the 502X.

Pm'd re 502 goodies.

[Fredrik Emilsson]

This is an alternative to adding all those spacers on the front and rear shock towers to give the shocks a more vertical shock movement.
Shock tower spacers in 2mm carbon.

This will allow you to use shorter screws on the shock damper bushings=shorter moment arm=less load on the shock tower and screw...

The spacers follow the shape of the bulkhead top/sides and the shape of the shock tower at the bottom. Makes them hard to spot.

[Fredrik Emilsson]

This is how the front shock tower/bulkhead looks like with spacer in place:


And the rear:

First batch of weights has arrived.
Think I forgot to write earlier, but they weigh 8, 12 and 16 grams.
Looks something like this with 12 grams added:

I think it would be a good time to learn how to speak Japanese my good friend. You will move there and I will miss you. Tamiya is going to kidnap you, I am sure of it.

[Jan Larsen]

Silly question perhaps, and I havent done any research, but will those weights fit the 511?
