£ 360 sounds about right for a TRF kit. Expensive but think I'll have one.

What are the 511 gear diffs like for those that have used them? Are they low maintenance and what improvement to handling do they offer over ball diffs?

511 gear diffs are pretty good, the stock plastic bevel gears are prone to stripping if not shimmed up but the TA06 steel bevel gears fit in the 511 diffs then they are pretty bomb proof

They are cheap too, new on eBay from HK about £12

Tamiya posted the TRF503 product page together with a Japan release date of March 22.

http://www.tamiya.com/japan/products/42275/index.htm

If you want the translated version of that together with more info also translated from Japanese see here:

Think that's something like the price without a body, around €580 or 480 Pounds.
There is another price of 83790 Yen, €612 or 510 Pounds which might be with body?

The Proline forward cab for the 502 might be a fit, as well as the original 511 body. Not sure if there is a proline phantom body available yet? Rhiehard was using it at the Reedy RoC:
