Are you by any chance running tires with a shallow/no side wall extending beyond the rim (such as Schumacher MiniSpike)? Many clay tires, and some carpet tires (like the Schumacher MiniPin) widen the car quite a bit...

Been running them just in the front of my TRF 511 and 503 for the past 3 weeks... pretty much a lot less chatter when turning .. and it almost feels as if the buggy now has more on power steering with them on the same set up

Hi,

last sunday I broke a rear swing shaft. I think the problem was that the diff joint is too soft. Did you noticed that? Any solution?
Motor is a LRP X20 6,5T running in astro turf.


Best regards.

How are your slipper settings?

Looks like they are way too tight, the other outdrive on that diff is in need of replacement aswell.

Otherwise the driveshaft pin will lock into the worn out hole in the outdrive and lock your suspension is place as it can't slide in or out.

Little tight, I don't think this is the problem but who knows... I replaced the full diff by a new one and run today 6 LiPos perfectly.

With Google Translate you should be able to get there quite easily. Or, just send them an English email stating what you need but you can't read German and I'm sure they'll be happy to help out

It is indeed German.

But there used to be a button that changed the site into English, well most of the site anyway, but that seems to have been removed.

But indeed just send an e-mail to mail@modellbau-seidel.de and tell them what you need.

Hi Guys!
I would like to ask to the Tam' boys if the gap between 511 and 503 is really noticeable?
Does this car gave more than the previous one? Just curious about updating my 511 for the indoor season...

best regards.
