TRF201 Hex adapters

[Scapelnz 204]

Hey team

Ive just picked up a trf201 and was after some info on what hex adapters and size to get. Would love some advice before I buy the wrong ones

Also does anyone know what different shells if any fit the 201 chassis?

Thanks in advance

On the Hexes, 12mm probably (and welcome!)

Does anybody make 12mm hexes for the TRF201? I have been trying to find ways to convert my DB01 to 12mm hexes and it has been a bit of a challenge. I think the TRF201 is in the same boat.

If you're looking to use parts that you can bolt on straight away, search through the Tamiya sub-forum on oOple - I recall some TRF503 users are using 12mm hexes on their cars - if it works on those cars it will work on the TRF201, too.

As a home-brewn solution, I Wild Willy (wide) hexes that I had cut down in width slightly (and I recall the hole drilled up to 5mm) - I only used them occasionally (as my most commonly used tires were on pin-type wheels), but they still lasted me 2 years. One of them stripped when a nyloc wheel nut loosened, if that hadn't happened, it would still be happily running these hexes today

Just a small update: I just saw a sale on oOple of Tamiya 12mm clamp hexes for the TRF503 (it should also work with your TRF201) - the part number is #9804801

For shells: Sand Viper and Zahhak bodies should fit.
