Show us your Tamiya TRF 201 XR.

Hi all,

Thought it would be nice to start a new thread for the new tamiya 201 xr, so here it is.

My new tamiya 201 xr with tamiya big bores.Any question please ask Enjoy

Looks great, xfactor! You could make it look even better by adding a Vega Gen3 conversion!

Shame the spring retainers are a different shade of blue

[Aussie Top Force]

Well done Xfactor! Very neat build and wiring. Is that a shorty pack with the receiver positioned under the rear bulkhead?

Thinking I might order the BB's for my 501X and 201+Exotec 8mm. But I'm very tempted to get the XR! I might wait until the mid mount conversion is available a build a mid mount XR from scratch??? Thus I'll have a rear motor and mid motor to play with.

As the tracks over here are sugared more and more, grip is no loner an issue on our clay tracks and mid mount appears to be where the trend is going.

Thanks for the pictures!

Hi David,

Yes shortie pack with receiver and transponder at rear under bulkhead.I did this as not to kink the wires off the speedo and gain more air around the speedo by fitting the speedo on the battery bar due to no fan.

Mark.

That looks even more like a Vega than I thought! That said, it does look pretty neat, I wasn't expecting Tamiya to sell the conversion with an alu gearbox. I take it Tamiya anodized the casing, or did you have it done yourself?

[Aussie Top Force]

Wow, looks nice! Where did you source the rear conversion from? Stellamodels hasn't released them yet.

[Johnny Pedersen]

The conversion kit have arrived in Denmark, together with the new racing steering set :-)

[Johnny Pedersen]

The gearbox are blue from Tamiya, it is standard :-)

My 201XR

[Aussie Top Force]

Curiosity killed this cat I ordered an XR kit and managed to find a brand new 201 kit on Ebay for a reasonable price. So I'm going to build up an XR from scratch rather than convert my existing 201.

Should be a good comparison. I already have some Big Bores on my 502X so can't wait to build it and get to the tracks!

Top Aussie, do it do it do it

[taomo]

It is not a bad idea Aussie Top Force!!!
