Front wing for the DB01 included with the lowered wing!

And those new belts do look like they will be stronger, a teeny bit wider too it seems.

Now some aluminum spur pulleys and I'll be really happy.

Tamiya slipper pads are loud. So if your diffs are ok, Associated B4 pads are much quieter

I have a 17mm hex conversion on mine running 4" 1/8 scale belted slicks (speed car). The extra leverage and size of the wheels accentuates the non-precision fit. So the genuine Tamiya uprights use...

Tamiya 501x alloy rear uprights question

I'm looking for photos of an assembled Tamiya 501x alloy rear upright with no success. I'm wondering if the Tamiya version of this uses plastic bushings where it connects to the suspension arm like...

The Havok seems good, it has a sintered rotor which I think is the important part (the bonded rotor motors were lame). I have a 'Pro' 8.5 which is a Velociti style can motor, seems quite powerful at...

Ceramic diff balls and tighten the screw/nut all the way then back off ~1/8 turn so the spring isnt bound up. Some thread locker is a plus as well. No diff problems here yet running as a speed car...

I've seen 3s mamba max setups of the df03 on Youtube...how long it lasts is another question. But it would be doing a scale 700 mph or so, lol

A little for those that are interested in speed. A Novak 3.5r in a Durga with a 15T pinion will give you a GPS-verified max speed of 55mph. You'll need a battery that can live with ~110 amp spikes...

I like the concept, nice off-road basher in a scale format with a sealed drivetrain. But I kind of wish they made it with the TB03 or DB01 chassis, better plastics and all.

On my DB01 w/5.5r & lipo, the motor seems very happy @ 10.36. Going to 9.82 the temperatures become a bit too hot (over 175F). Ambients below 80F with these gearings, might have to go lower if...

Thoughts on overdriving DB-01 front diff?/501x overdrive experiences?

I'm making my Durga into a speed run car, and doing a good bit of chassis tuning so that it will run straight on less than ideal surfaces (dust patches, side grade, bumps, etc.). So far I have it...

Try some plastic tape wrapped 1/2 way around the circumference of the bearings (wrapped 1/2 way so it is easy to get the bearing into the part). Works wonders tightening up the wheels.

I'd add some $12 USD ceramic diff balls (3mmx12), only for the rear diff, and some Associated B4 slipper pads for an extra $4 or so (quieter). That should set you up really well for not a lot more...

Looks like 19T pinion with a Novak 5.5R might actually be good, if the ambient temperature is not too high. I broke down and purchased a half-way decent IR thermometer, threw in the 19T pinion, and...

I'd be curious how a carbon fiber car would hold up also. Those B44's seem to have a stout drive train, but the Durga's plastic seems like it would last longer with impacts, so I'll keep it.
