Tamiya Slave,
I've run 3Racing dampers on my DF-03 before and I sold them off. The shocks themselves worked well but were of a bigger diameter than most 1/10 scale shocks so I couldn't find springs for them. The 3Racing springs (black) were too stiff for racing use. Only thing I found that fit were Losi springs but they would need cutting down, and even then, they weren't a perfect fit (Losi springs are even bigger diameter, slightly).
I can't say I've seen the 3Racing DB-01 shocks, but my guess is they are the same diameter as their DF-03 ones.
My DF-03 is running the stock plastic shocks (same as the ones on the DB-01) but with the 2-hole pistons instead of the 3-hole recommended in the manual, plus gold springs from the Tamiya spring kit (for DF-03). Not spectacular, but not too shabby neither. Oh, tamiya #400 yellow oil in them at the moment.
