Lee just guessed. And guessed right.

There are 2 holes.

And car will probably be available end of october or early november.

So where do people see the 502 fitting in with the 511 in the 4wd department then?

Are people looking to change over already?

Hey Dave i´m Johannes, and yes Fredrik, you must have a special secret connection to Tamiya

you can see the two camber link holes and washers under the mounts!
What i cant see is any way of changing the diff height, oh well, thats one less sut up option to worry about

I´ve learned from Lee, I´m just guessing.

I´m hoping that Lee can teach me other stuff too, like how to drive?

Probably posting old pic here, but just to show those 2 camber mount holes:

To access gearbox you need to remove 6 screws. Since the camber mount is attached is to the top cover via the ball stud you also have to detach ball cup. One way to make it easier is to make a hole in the ball cup so you can remove (unscrew) ball stud without removing the ball cup.

Question is if you really can lift that top cover without removing top decks though? The 2 front screws under the top deck can be hard to access. Also, can you lift that top cover past the top deck?
In worst case you have to remove top deck (4 screws) and then another 6 screws to access gearbox.
Yeah, probably does´nt need to remove diffs as often as on the 511, but is is always nice to have a car that is easy/fast to maintain.
Just a few thoughts. Can be wrong, will see when car arrives.

Does anyone do Ball point 2mm drivers? Found the 2.5 a godsend on my nitro, would probably do the trick on those screws too! Although it still might not all lift out!

Can't wait to get my hands on one of these now, though still not sure why!!

or dremel 2 notches in the top plate mate

Holy crap it's a D4 clone, hopefully they didn't use the same original pp diff design.

On the B44 it´s exactly the same as you said. You can remove top decks without removing the slipper cover and there are equally as on the TRF502X 4 screws for the Upper Deck and 6 screws for the gearbox.
I can´t wait to hold it the kit in my hands. If we only had November now
