Here is my old 501x purchased and painted by Telboy in Jan 2007, I think this was the first one he did of this scheme

Sold 2008 to finance a new oven...

...But I have just picked up a RTR 501x off ebay with the same shell pics to follow of that later!

Not a 501/511 but a DB01 modified tot he ballz. This thing is a force to be reckoned with. Waitin on a 501x to be shipped soon.

Good choice going from a Db01 to a 501x.
I'm just guessing they drive the same since they have the same dna
so to speak.

Bet a DB01 would be great on loose dirt, since the drivetrain is sealed from debris.

I have both cars setup with exactly the same electrics and similar suspension and they still handled differently. The DB is very safe and easy to drive but as a result is less precise, The 501 is more on edge with sharper turn in and is generaly faster on a tight track. Thats why I still run them both, I can pick the car that best suits the track then alter it from there .

I love my DB01. I wouldnt trade for for a darn thing. I even got the 511 clutch spring for both of them. Its supposedly more "accurate" in terms of setting it precisely. Cant wait to try out the trf soon though. Speaking of which...how do you guys have you slipper spring set? Mine is the 3mm Tamiya recommends but It may be too loose...any suggestions? It seems to work fine for me but Ive heard that people tighten it all the way and back out a few turns...

I have the spring at about 3.5mm. I run on an indoor clay track (good traction), and it feels great when I hammer it ...

Now back to the thread

I have no clue where to buy them. The plastic ones on the car are fine.
Alot of people dont run aluminum caps, and for good reasons.
Users point to extra stress on shock towers and causes them to crack
over a long period of use. Ive never broke a front shock tower.
But I have no reason to run aluminum shock caps either.
The big plastic bumper on the front absorbs all the stress from crashes
pretty well.
