Durga bodyset:
1825507 - Body ($20.50)
9495524 - Stickers (9.50)
53984 - Wing (10.00)

There is no bodyset, but those are the Tamiya part numbers to make the body.

They did but Tamiya seem to have flexed their mighty corporate weight to stop Kamtec from doing any Tamiya repros :mad::cry:

Do saddle lipo's fit in the DB01 ok lengthwise or is it a bit tight?

peetbee 14-10-2009 06:26 PM

Should fit straight in Dave, as long as they are BRCA legal ones. Let me know if you want me to measure the battery tray:D

Measured roughly at 138mm
The front is £15 and the rear £18, but you don't need the front only the rear.

Ooh, my Lipo's are more like 138.8mm long, might not fit!!

Is anyone running one at King of the Dirt or Broxtowe? If so can I try my batteries!?

DCM 16-10-2009 07:54 AM

you can always just trim a slither of plastice off both front and rear posts.

I'll double check it later for you - what saddles do you have?

Is it just posts? There's no chassis webbing which would affect the rigidity?

DCM 16-10-2009 11:05 AM

not really, as the chassis is pretty thick, the moulding in there is more to do with cell location rather than rigidity.

peetbee 16-10-2009 11:09 AM

Agreed, and the lipos just sit on top of the cell locators quite happily

fastinfastout 16-10-2009 03:24 PM

ive got intellect 4200 saddles which fit, with a spare 2mm to play!

Spoolio 16-10-2009 06:15 PM

Trakpower 4900 and LRP 5300 both fit OK in my Durga :thumbsup:

Are the outdrives to get part number 51286?

SimonBes 17-10-2009 07:19 PM

What motor/esc combination would you recommend for an intermediate-level driver?
Was looking at these two:

Of the two Novaks , the GTB for club, regional and national as the other would probably not be on their approved list of motors.

They are good reliable motors but the sensor wire is permanently fitted to the ESC, whereas on the approved ones such as the Losi it is replaceable with different length ones to tidy up your installation in the body.;)

Yes, they are the ones. If cash is tight I'd only upgrade the rear diff though.

ScottyP 19-10-2009 10:34 AM

Slowly progressing the build of my DB01-R, but have run into a snag.

I didn't really pay any mind to it, but now that I have come to assemble the suspension I notice that the diff screws seems to protrude too far out into the outdrive. About 5mm or so.

This provides no space for the drive shaft to sit properly inside the outdrive as it hits on the diff screw! In fact, if I insert the red foam piece into the outdrive as per the instructions, the drive shaft won't slide in at all!

I have the thrust race in, and the spring. What gives guys?

Cheers,
Scotty P.

Fredrik Emilsson 19-10-2009 11:16 AM

Maybe you put the screw into the wrong outdrive?
Put the screw into the short outdrive (BG6) and the spring and nut into the long one (BG5).
