TRF 202 or 512? TRF SC?

All the rest was the same - though achieved in a different way and with cheaper materials and less in the kit for more money. Bargain!

In what way you mean the 511 have cheaper materials? You mean options compared to the 501X WE?

Less in the kit, yes. Especially screws...
No body and undertray. Agree that they should have included that in the kit.
Maintenance much easier on 511 than 501X. That´s the main difference in my opinion.
511 is not 100%, but what car is?

Well with 502 and 511 upgrade kits it seems Tamiya TRF aren't killing either off just yet. A foot in both camps!

The new numbers:

501X then 511X thus as the middle number is increasing: the belt drive successor could be 521X

Thus for 502X: Successor 512X.

Upgraded 201X: 211X

if that were the case: 521X and 512X now thats confusing!

Maybe they's call a mid-motor car the 202. After the RB-6 and the recently shown B-Max2M, Tamiya are the only Japanese manufacturer without one.
