a lad showed up at our track in Townsville,Qld,Australia with a full Tamiya option 501x last night and damn that thing was sweet.it was built to kit setup with the alloy options added including front 1 way and absolutely smoked the B44's and BJ4's and Losi's that reside at the track.it was quite a treat to see it in action as well, it seemed to handle the big doubles and rough stuff with ease.he was running a 10 quad reedy i think and all the other 4wd's are running brushless setups.

track is a smooth in some areas,rough in others clay type surface that usually works best running losi ifmar pins (with 2wd buggy)
i race 2wd buggy so i am not sure what tyres he runs but on a 2wd ifmars are the tyre of choice.we generally water the track down at interval to keep traction up.

he used to run a BJ4 worlds and he had nothing but praise for the Tamiya.i was quite shocked to see a Tamiya on his table to tell the truth.

was good to see a new breed of car on the track for a change.
