As far as I know, 501X kits and parts are still being made. Option parts are still coming out too.

Ran 8 tanks through an 801x and found it to be responsive and quick. I dont quite know my way through 1/8th scale as well as other classess but this Truggy was a fun build.

The quality, fit and eng. savy are top notch. Kudos to DJ for a great effort. The buggy would be a welcome addition.

The setup that Jimmy and Josh have developed is quite forgiving. Looking forward to its maiden voyage at the Reedy Truck Race.

Dose anyone know where to get parts for the TRF801XT?

Parts like A-Arms, Diff gear, hop up parts like the tilted engine mount.

Had a look at the stores online that stock the Truggy but no parts.

Anyone have any ideas as to where to get the parts from?

Any info. is appreciated.
Thanks.
