Last week I was checking my facebook account and noticed the local Tamiya dealer (My Toy) started a weekly competition where people could win a Tamiya TRF 501x race buggy. So, I entered the competition and didn’t win BUT I did get an email asking if I would be interested in reviewing the new TRF 502x and I said yes of course.
It’s been two years since I last built a Tamiya car so I was pretty excited to pick the car up. Along with the 502x frame they’re lending me a servo, tires, lipo battery, brush-less motor and ecu. Basically everything I need to get the car built and running except for a radio controller and receiver since I will be using my own. Oh I also picked up fluorescent pink paint since I think a bright pink racing buggy with a black rear wing and black wheels might turn out pretty cool. Below is a picture of how the pile of boxes above will end up looking like once I am done.

Hahaha Mark i won the first buggy now lets see who build’s his first i am going to start today 😛
No way that was you who won it?? I just submitted new pics for this weeks draw 🙂
Yea lol i was surprised my self.. but its an amazing kit you will enjoy it i am half way thru hope you will be able to keep the buggy though
Because I am reviewing it I CAN’T keep the buggy 🙁 it wouldnt be right mostly because if I say anything positive people will think it’s because they gave me the buggy. So have to give it back when done.
Oh Man Then hopefully you would win this weeks buggy.. good luck
