I have used the TRF 511 body without any issues on my TRF501x without any issues with the motor rubbing ... and a JConcepts Finisher body for the B44.1/2 and that had even more room... the Pro-Line Bulldog body for the TRF502x is rather narrow for the 501x so that one would not be a good idea

Now as were to get a TRF 501x WE body from.. they are very few left at most of the stores in Japan... most places in HK with have them but they are going to cost quite a bit

I have two non worlds 501X bodies - but I'm keeping them. Surely there must be a few of those out there? I know a few people (like me) who thought the 501X was a ground breaking car and only shelved them for lack of parts.

Anyone got a BAGGED white set of Tamiya wheels from a KIT? un touched? I have a brand new kit but wheels are all that's missing - a collection piece

I know some drivers who use yellow wheels wouldn't even use them - this is my hope

Pm steve_haskins on here. He makes the 501x Worlds Edition body shells. Very good to be fair. He is also on ebay under Haskins2004 or something like that.
