Fredrik should be able to manufacture the parts for you. He designed the CAD files for both parts. I believe he owns the machine to make the Diff Cover; and the Lipo Tray is made off-site by...

Leave the lower voltage limit to 3.30v per cell.. That is the minimum voltage you want your cells to be at (lipo cutoff uses the same or slightly higher voltage range). I never really heard of a...

Hold on a sec, you said 501X.. Fredrik only made a 'long rear cover' for the 501X, the 'short front' and 'short rear' covers only fit the 511X (since they changed the diff mounts for the 511)..

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

The short answer to dampening front more than rear has to do with balancing the "roll center". The roll center has to do with the pivoting point and the lean of the chassis. Both the front and rear...

You are correct.. All lipo cells are 'not' the same, not even close.. The chemistry, film materials, assembly method etc can yield two entirely different quality cells. One with high IR (internal...

I do CAD work for plastics and its not likely that the slot was created for molding reasons. The slot that part B5 fills definitely has a purpose. There must be someone who knows for sure.

Agreed. Sounds like you are over-tightening your diffs. I made the same mistake when I first built my DB-01.
