I don't think so but I'm not in the know. I've seen a post on here with a link to website advertising a new 511 with gear diffs.

I am usually right when it comes to guessing these thing so I say gray ballcups. Same type of damper housings as on the 201. Do not know what they are called. Titanium rods. Perhaps a chassis without the slots for cells and a diff cover borrowed from Fredrik. The tray moved back by a little so the cells clear the centre bulk.
Just pure speculation. Wrong thread for this tough. Sorry Lee.

Good to hear if it is true, I've just bought a 511 but I'm going to stick with it for a while, if it was good enough for LM this year it will be good enough for me next year!

I think the sales recently are soured on by the fact that the second hand price will come down once the kit has been released.

Totally agree, that´s why all sell them now.

I've got two top spec 511's, there won't be that much between them and I'll buy a pair of gear diffs to put in them.

I may be wrong but I think that Tamiya have developed a gear diff so the car appeals more to clay racers.

Tell me about it. I received a big bag of LMR stuff today for the shop, so far I've opened a ride height gauge, 2 fan guards, and a roll of servo tape.

Note to self must resist more LMR bling..... We'll apart from the new product I will be having a couple of them!

I have LMR Fan guards and servo tape. The Servo tape looks like the 3M tape put on smaller rolls. if it is good work cos who wants 33m of servo tape when you can buy a couple at a time, also I think that RC Lazy sell the same stuff in there branded bags. The Little fan guard is the dogs doodars once I open'd out the holes only very slightly but it has saved my fragile little fan I'd do one every other meet before I haven't broken one for weeks.

Top man Lee.

Unfortunately I was unable to make southport, so would like to have the heads up would be great, as we are getting a group of loyal Tamiya drivers at torch, which is all good in my opinion

Cheers
