Super super stuff ....congrats to all

Any other results or feedback please post here

Great result for all the cars. Awesome to be part of such a helpful and motivational team. Car is built well, drives well and easy to drive. Superb car for drivers from club level to national. Smooth, quiet and consistent. Very happy with my car for the future.

Good work today Scotty :thumbsup:

Great car, I just need to raise my game now!

Although this sounds like an advert - LOL
At the DMS Regional BRCA event Sunday 20th of May, it has to be mentioned that drivers driving DB1s had the fastest single laps of the whole event
Information kindly supplied by Darren Boyle

Kev Lee = 15.41
Stephen Brown = 15.60
Tony Evdoka = 15.66
Scott Faulkner = 15.93

And the only other person that managed a 15 sec lap was F1 driver Matt Owen that did a 15.99

sign him up :thumbsup:

Not a bad advert!! how many DB1's did you sell on Sunday? :)

LOL - I think everyone knows it is a sort after car now.....LOL
I've very near run out of cars and this is the second batch.....

I am extremely pleased that everyone is getting on with them though - very please.....makes it all worth the effort.....

ps - As for sponsoring Matt....I already do but you have to have some fast guys to beat - LMAO (he will know what I mean)

Do you have a list of 2wd parts that are needed if i was to convert an fs2 sp?

Hi Matt,

If you email me on the link below I can send you a front end parts list.

Cheers
Kev

Just gave the car a quick astro test before work and I'm speechless. Absolute awesome car, faster, easier and more stable than anything I've driven.

I thought the Vega was good, but this is something else. Well done to all those involved in the development of this.

I even think I could get it round as quick as a 4WD...

Looking forward to SHRCC this weekend.

I knew this would happen - you are all getting quicker and I am getting older - LOL

Ditto, first run last night and it is just amazingly good...

Look forward to trying mine tonight on Astro and then tomorrow at SHRCC

I've seen a few of these in action now including Tony's, Kev's, and Scott's. They seem to be really balanced cars, and look amazing in the air.

A big thumbs up to all involved in the design and development of the car. :thumbsup:

Has anyone run one on grass yet? interested to hear how it goes when the grip levels drop.

Scott Faulkner will be running his on the 16 June on grass at the Armageddon meeting.

Paul Field run his on grass at the weekend and finished 3rd at that regional meeting.
He was leading for a long time too.....

It was soaking wet and fairly slippy at the Torch regional and it looked awesome... (albeit on Astro)

DB1 on Grass
 

I ran the DB1 at our Regional in Cornwall at the weekend.

The car was really good i am very pleased with it.
The straight was very very very long . I was running a 6.5 with the timing increased on the speedo to keep up with some of the other drivers running 5.5's. One of the nicest things is that the transmission is so smooth and quiet it makes it a joy to drive.

Because some of the track was well worn and bumpy with dirt patches in places i ran the longest possible links on the rear and softened the damping. I believe there is a lot more to come from the car as i did not have time to really play with the set up.
I will be running at Tiverton this weekend on a mixture of astro and grass should be interesting :thumbsup:

what is the Front/Rear weight bias on this car?

Normally manufacturers and racers have to buy a car to discover that kind of information, especially for copy purposes.....LOL

Who cares!? It just works.... :thumbsup:

Mr Foley run his on Tuesday night at Silverstone RCMCC and it look really good for a hurried build. 3 other members of the club have purchased the DB1 kits and should be running next week.

Must be a record for DB1 build, about an hour and 20 mins!!!

Being as it had the wrong back end on it I couldn't believe how good it is...!!

That's mega quick, did you have a power driver? Shocks and diff built?

where can I buy a DB1
 

Hi all

Are they available to the general public and if so where from ?

www.rubebits.co.uk :thumbsup:

Ran mine at SHRCC tonight - awesome.

Look forward to what it can do at TORCH.

Tony was on hand to help too and commented I was driving better with it.

Fastest laps SteveB & Tony

I had a built donor, but rebuilt the shocks and diff...

Just dropped together.. awesome..

Yup certainly is - looking forward to my shell turning up from the painter :thumbsup:

Really looking forward to mine but saddly still waiting for a new prop to send for modification :'(

Same here, really looking forward to.build and drive it.
Should be next week :wub

:thumbsup:

DB1 debut
 

Took my DB1 for its debut at Broxtoxe car club last night & have to say it was awesome!
Once I put it on some decent tyres it came alive!
Superb turn in, superb traction, awesome bump handling!
Was going to back to back it with my Vega, but was so impressed I couldn't leave it alone! Lol

Can't wait to run it again. Think it'll be our next regional on grass.
Bring it on!

Thanks to Tony & Kev for all the help & advice. :thumbsup:

Quarnting was a success then my great mate ? Get in ..... Lets rock :lol:

Looking forward to testing mine again once servo is back from repair in prep for Herts Mid South regional :)

Congrats mate :D and congrats to Kev :)
