where to buy 501x parts
I am thinking of buying a Tamiya 501x we, but I just wondered how easy is it to buy parts in the UK.
Can anyone tell me where is the best place to buy bodies and undertrays, wishbones etc? Thanks Chris

Yeah go to HK for parts, takes days to reach the UK, and theres quite a bit to be had, i just bagged a few parts missing from one i just bought, the chassis is MINT, but a few parts were just missing, real silly bits that take an age to find lol, grabbed a new undertray from www.rcmodel.hk too hope that helps.

for the USA
In the US, speedtechrc.com, hkshobby and TamiyaUSA all carry parts. I am missing a US seller. I also like the Japanese sellers on ebay, not a fan of HK sellers because I hate waiting 2 weeks.

Tamiya USA really don't like shipping to the UK, especially as Tamiya has a distributor here

Yes it does. I followed the cut out lines and it fits the 501 without issue. It just has slightly different mounting holes in the undertray. Just line up before drilling. James

Awesome! Cant wait to try it guys!
I also got the new wing coming. Looks like it includes the front wing as well after you cut it out that is.

My 511 body/wing and and spares such will be coming to the hobby shop thursday.
3 more days and I'll be working on this project. They had to do a special order for me to get the stuff in, as thier distributer doesnt carry 511 stuff. But that's fine with me just a longer wait.

Today is thursday, so I assume I'll be getting the goodies today.
I'll let you know later on. I have white paint for the body. A local guy here has a website to wrap shells. www.tnt-fx.com Tres also sponsors Ryan Lutz, so you know the stuff is high quality stuff.
