Default 501x shell.

Hey hey.

I've just picked up a second hand 501x and have spent the last few days stripping, cleaning and replacing warn items etc, it's got most of the hop ups I was after and I've found a few more available in some shops but I can't find anyone who has a shell in the UK?

With out breaking any forum rules can someone send me a few shop details that supply 501 spares and more importantly a shell?


As an aside, does anyone think the 511 shell looks a little too much like the b44/D4 shell? the whole reason I wanted a 501 was because it looked so different!

Cheers

Mike

Warn parts...??? I hope you dont mean worn... Everything was new... Shell was horrible though... Try RC mushroom and RCmodel online. They are in hong kong but delivery is always within 5 days...

Can you still buy the Team Arizsashi Body set.

I'm looking for another body option for my 501x worlds car?

I may need another undertray as well as it's badly damaged....
I'm thinking the Team Arizsashi set comes with an undertray as well.

501x shells are not cheap. But as soon as I get another shell and undertray, I'm gonna have a local painter
paint me a shell and tray.

As he's gonna paint me a XX4 body 1st. Then maybe my new 501x shell & Tray.

$62.90 isnt too bad considering it comes with an undertray.

Thanks for the link Aaron.

It is when you can get an original for less. You could use the 511 shell with undertray (54133), it fits perfectly with room for brushless motors. Available on ebay, I just bought mine for £20 +£5.20 shipping.
