Man thank you so much. Most of the parts have arrived including the slip clutch etc so I'll just go forward slowly and let you know how I go. Thanks again Jon. I really appreciate your time.

Hey Jon, That's some very valuable info for me mate. Really appreciate you taking the time to get back to me. I've also ordered some metal diff gears and anything I can see to avoid cooking plastic pieces which will hopefully help in the long run too. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Tamiya-54517-RC-XV01-Front-One-Way-Set-52T/273863058646?hash=item3fc382a4d6:g:HhYAAOSwqrtWpgdc Do you think getting this front one way be a good option? Or will that not work with the ratio you suggest? TBH I need to do a little homework on how to achieve the 9:1 ratio you suggest, I've never been good with maths. Thanks again.

PS - Bodies are for a TT01 and XV01. Would also consider XB chassis with these bodies, (that are still new). If you know a seller who still has any of the above please let me know

Hello all, I'm looking for finished versions of the 1/10 bodies from Tamiya of either the 2007 or 2004 WRX Impreza WRC Rally cars driven by Solberg. Must be in new condition, preferably sealed. Please get in touch if you know where I can find either. Willing to pay good $. Thanks very much Julez

Hi everyone, This is my first post so please be gentle! I'm building the XV01 and I've bought an 8.5T Tamiya/LRP motor and LRP ESC. I'm a real newbie so I have no idea what I've got myself into as far as gearing, and a whole lot of hurt (according to the hobby guy who doesn't want to know me). Can anybody please help me with the number of pinion, spur, and any other advice you're prepared to give time sharing, when it comes to this set up. I have bought a front one way unit, and about to order the slipper clutch and a few other things that I don't really understand to be honest, but they appear to be upgrades! I also rapidly ordered some 70mm shocks, without being sure whether that will suit the model or not. So if you're not totally disgusted with my lack of knowledge while impulse buying on eBay, I'd appreciate any help turning it into a mean rally car that will make me and the mates laugh even if it is over powered. Thanks for reading :)
