Darn close @260mm :-) According to Vestergaardgroup the wheelbase is 267mm.

According to a post from June 9, 2023 on tamiyablog.com it's 239 mm wheelbase.

Grazie mille :-)

Well, failed to upload an image of the new Fiat 131. So, check out tamiyablog.com for an image: https://tamiyablog.com

I am aware of the TT Truck tire and M-chassis wheels. But the combo is only a direct fit to the M-chassis and standard TT02 with some added spacers just to push the wheel a few mm. The combo won't fit the XV-01 and XV-02 chassis to my knowledge, due to the M-chassis wheels small inner diameter. It will rub the suspension.

It's about time someone releases a dedicated rally gravel tire/wheel combo. I suggest a tire/wheel combo of 1.55"/1.9"? The small outer diameter would produce a taller tire wall and 1.9" will make them fit existing tc/rally chassis. Outer tire diameter 65-70mm and width, say 24mm? Just a thought c'',)

Way ahead of you. Got the idea myself a while back. Haven't finished it yet. My chassis is TT02 Type-S, so the steel suspensions shafts are from that kit. But essential you can do the same from a standard TT-02 and you only need the steel suspension steel shafts. And XV-01/02 suspension parts naturally :-) Further I have added nitro tubing as can been seen in the pictures. There are zero sideways play. For and aft movement depends on the shimming determine the wheelbase too. Edit: Couldn't show the pics. Do you see the pictures or do you see a link only? front.HEIC rear.HEIC bushings_mount_1.HEIC

You need to take up self defense. Rather sooner than later.

Upon assembling the Type-S, I found the metal mounts gave some play F and R. Had some nitro-tube and thought that this might go as bushings? Just like a real car carries rubber bushings in the suspension. Although, not rubber but silicone tubing, I’d cut some small pieces of nitro-tube @ 3-4mm in length. Insert them in the mounting hole, add a drop of damper oil for an easy steel-shaft push fit. The nitro-tubing I have is OD 5,5mm and ID 3mm. When the tubing is pushed to fit the ID will decrease slightly making it a tight fit. Add spacer’s for wheelbase of choice. The spacers also keeps the tube in place. No play what so ever as for the steel-shaft mounting. Will this hold up when the car it put through it’s paces? Sorry to say, I do not know. Yet. What do you think, could this hold up for some serious driving? What’s your thought’s? Just thought, I’d share the idea c'',) IMG_0983.HEIC IMG_0982.HEIC IMG_0984.HEIC
