The car is unfortunately for sale. (see the ad in the for sale section)

Very nice, except for Area 51 decal. Why the change from 501 to B44?

Hi,

The reason that I sell the car is because I like to change and I prefer a drivetrain with shaft.

Cheers

I will be ordering my 501 during this week, for $435. BRAND NEW !!

You will be ordering your plain TRF for 435$ + import cost + douane cost. You will add at least 140$ and you have O spares.

To have a competitive TRF501x you need the improved drivetrain, ceramic diff balls, front one way, another screw set (titanium is the best), other ball studs and ball cups.

Do a search and you will understand what I'm saying.



Believe it or not but when you race a car you will need lots of spares (almost a second car) to keep your car going.

Ciao

Ok,

I am getting the picture,
how did you improve on the drivetrain?

"need the improved drivetrain" No.

"need...ceramic diff balls" No, but extends diff life.

"need...front one way" No, but improves steering.

"need...another screw set" No, but OEM screws are soft.

"need...other balls studs and cups" No... Kyosho ball cups work with OEM ball studs just fine.


"you will need a lots of spares to keep your car going"
False. My 501X eats rear belts but that is about it. Wear items like belts, center pulleys and diff rings are about the only spares you will need if you are a good driver.
