A race buggy that doesn’t look like only its mother could love it? Finally!

Looking forward to seeing that one racing. Amd once again... If you have a chance of getting a 511x go for it. As far as I know this was the highest evolution of Tamiya Buggys

NOWWWWWWWW, I get why Tamiya enthusiasts love these RCs so much, this buggy is awesome and I always wanted a Mighty Frog or Hornet as a kid, however, as an adult scoffed at the idea of buying these rc's. As a knuckle-dragging Arrma basher investor, I sincerely take every negative thing I have stated about Tamiya fans back until my last breath. I am very impressed with a lot of these types of RCs now, both on-road and offroad. I'm going to attempt to build a Tamiya buggy and on-road scale racer this winter!

I love the chassis, don't love the body. I put a later 511 body on mine. When you get the new belts on it, do see if it runs freely (no motor) to make sure you've assemled it all correctly. I somehow stuffed mine up the first time I assembled it, without doing long term damage. The 501x should go pretty good and it's tougher than people think. The 502 was the next cab off the rank, it was a move to shaft driven on a similar chassis. The one thing I can say about the 502 is that the steering was arse. People ended up putting the steering components from the 501 in them. It was a geometry issue I think.

Dam i stand corrected- thats a good looking race buggy, but price and quality does it stack up to the same as yokomo aka mx4 ? Or Schumacher buggy of its time ? Thats the question? As prices are stupidly high for a tamiya! That body is stunning 👏😎 wow.

I really like the bodyshell on the 501X, it's definitely different. You've got a pretty good one there, nice one!!

Originally 501x have ball diffs, seems yours has gear diff, a plus for high grip carpet I think. I have one but not so good status. TRF are very beautiful. Maybe find a TRF201 ? Otherwise it's Touring onroad (TRF4xx series), you can find some relatively cheap. Or a TRF101, 2 or 3, which are F1 but it's harder. Can't wait for the build Video 👍🤝

2007 Euros winner in the hands of Hupo Hönigl. Not very maintenance friendly due to the top decks, rear/front suspension mount and camber mounts but a really solid car. Working on the 2009 TRF511 was a dream though. And what a car it is to drive + even more beautiful chassi than the 501X.

Rear wing looks like it’s been gone over with a scuff pad, the pro American drivers like to do that.

Not only pros scuff the wing, if you race your car and get the wing dirty, it‘s a very good way to freshen the wing back up after a day of racing

Did this car ever have problems with dirt clogging up that exposed belt drive? Seems kinda odd to me.

Someone has also fitted some big bore shocks to it, the 501/511 came with small bore shocks

Yep, funny enough I just checked myself. It’s Hex hardware in the kit but black in colour and not the best quality vs the built one for sure.

Who wouldn't like one of these lol. Yeah would never bother racing it, same as ppl who are going to race the new MX4 forever 1/100 cars there is no parts supply not like any mass produced cars thats for sure. People would only do it for shit talking rights.
