Did look very good running round. The car, not Tony ;)

The new shell for the car is now in production

Mmmh tempting :drool:

I best get saving :drool:

All coming together nicely. Look forward to seeing it all :)

Has it been tested in wet/damp/slippery conditions yet?

Yes mate, and it's VERY good on every surface condition so far :thumbsup:

Whats it like in the air? Does it not rotate about the propshaft?

It's really good in the air, the propshaft weight has been tuned to counteract the inertia of the rotor, so it's not noticeable.

Kev

Looked absolutely awesome at Silverstone, looked so planted but really responsive..... real pretty too...:wub

Were you running much weight in them?

Sounds like it will be a good contender then :) gonna be a good dollar though im sure

Soundling like a win win situation if you ask me :) - so look forward to it hitting the streets for average Joe.

I was running 20g between te cells but apart from that nothing. Outside at kidderminster I found extra weight under the lipo settled the car, but it just slowed it down inside.

How is it on worn out grass tracks? that's where I found a 22 strugged with traction at first.

Car looks nice but i wonder what they will do to cover the spur gear if on a sandy track..

It's not a problem for the FS platform so I doubt it will be an issue with the DB1 either.

What will be needed to get the kit up and running if iv got an rb5?

Makes spares easier as I've got a nice box full of FS & RB5 stuff :thumbsup:

Back end and drive train from a FS2 would be a good starting place I suspect?

Is this what Dave Burton used at Surrey and Hants a few months back?

No Neil

well if I have read it correctlly, you just need an RB5 I think the extra drive train parts are going to be included......think this car is going to be around the vega sorta price tag,best get ready to sell an organ, Rude :D.

be good if you do just need the RB5,ill only need to sell one of my childen:woot:

It'll be expensive if you need a Lazer,RB5 and the conversion!

£269.00 for an RB5
£379.00 for FS2 SP
£ ? DB1 conversion

Nice if you have deep pockets

and good if you're already running the car(s) ;)

From what I have seen this wont be the case.... :D

looks like a kyosho version of DB`s old b44/b4 2wd and that was awesome.

Last saw that at petit 2011

Ahhhhh that's what I saw at SHRCCC.

Will any old RB-5 do? or does it have to be the sp/2 ?

We are current using the SP2 WC front end but any RB5 front end will fit.

Kev

Kev could you let us know if the rest will come in the kit

Release date and price
 

This looks great! When is the release date and price????

Some more details for you......
I copied this from our section

Hi yah all...
While the testing and final little improvement continue I thought I would let you know that we are hoping to make the car available in 4 different ways.
Unfortunately the prices have yet to be confirmed and like mentioned before, the priority is to make sure this car can perform at the highest level first then figure out the lowest cost to everyone.


1= RudeDB001 = If you just want just the conversion parts then you will need part no RudeDB1.
In this you will get a bodyshell, and everything else you need to make a DB1 like the factory team are currently using.
You will need to have Kyosho parts in your spares and you will need to buy the odd thing here and there to complete the conversion. Any specialist parts will be included in this conversion. Even the balancing weights for fine tuning to different tracks and conditions

2= RudeDB002 = This is a conversion if you have a Kyosho 2wd (SP onwards models).
Again it will include everything from box 1 plus everything you need if you only have a 2wd car.

3= RudeDB003 = This is a conversion if you have a Kyosho 4wd (SP onwards models).
Again as stated in the other kits, everything needed to convert a 4wd to the DB1 2wd car.

4= RudeDB004 = This is a full kit.
So you have no Kyosho parts and you want to be the proud owner of the fastest 2wd on the planet.
This is the kit for you!

Every kit and that means every kit will come with a unique code and that code is worth a lot of money if used wisely…..
Enough of that for now though, we will reveal that news when the time comes!

Some would have noticed that my thumb has a plaster on it because of so much running with this car.
I am in agony with my hand now and I may have to stop running for a few days.
Thank you to Ellis Stafford for sorting my transmitter out though as I really couldn’t carry on. (not funny really)
The reliability in our eyes is crucial and now the car has completed over 15 hours of run time without a rebuild of a gearbox.
In real terms assuming you do 15 mins on a Lipo in practice, then 4 runs at 6.00 minutes and then your final.
That equates to some 45 minutes per meeting.
Lets assume you do 1 hour run time per meeting!
So far the car has been tested for 15 meetings plus and still doesn’t need a rebuild.
That is a near 4 month period running every Sunday or nearly a season if you wish to look at it in that way.
Good eh!

Back to more running of the car I suppose .

Laters all

Thanks for the update Tony,sorry to hear about ya thumb :cry:
im sure the car will be amazing,fingers crossed the price wont need to may brownie point:thumbsup:
