Default TRF5XX new parts

Tamiya releases end of august

84304  Locking Battery Post (for TRF511/TRF502X)
This set includes carbon battery plates and battery posts which use screws to secure the plates, enabling a more secure battery pack installation.

Set contents
Carbon Battery Plate x2
Battery Post x4
3x8mm Aluminum Flanged Screw x4
3x8mm Hex Countersunk Screw x4
Compatible with TRF501, TRF511, and TRF 502X chassis

----------------------------------------------------------------------
84305  TRF502X Battery Holder Weight (Side/Center)
These ballast weights have the same shape as the battery trays of the TRF502X chassis and can be attached under the trays, thereby saving space. By attaching these weights, the center of gravity will shift towards the rear and help you adjust your machine's balance to match the track layout.

Set contents
Ballast Weight (Center) x1
Ballast Weight (Side) x2
Compatible with TRF502X chassis.

I doubt they will be, but I'd love the balance weights to be blue!

Perhaps to reposition the steering assembly ?

EDIT : on Tamiyablog it is mentioned as : "84310 upgrade set for trf502x", so it could be something else then just a chassis

Looks good...my guess is the new camber links will be similar to the Ali bmax ones, like the inboard toe adjustment as you'll only need one set of the swanky new plastic rear hubs then when they are released!
