Agreed. The Hop-Up motor mount should have been a standard part for the DB-01R.. I was also surprised to discover that the Hop-Up diff joints were not included either??

Oh well.. The DB-01R is still a nicer kit for anyone who wants to run a DB-01 and save a load of money compared to buying the hop-ups separate. It's a great car for the track

Re hexes, yeah it must be a bit hit and miss, the guy i bought the db01r off had shimmed out the wheels, but one wheel wasnt shimmed out as much and i could see where it had rubbed on the front hub and i could see the wear on the inside of the wheel, also i could feel the drive train was a little tight without the motor in, once i put losi rims on the front, the car rolled very smoothly, and yeah, i cant wait to see my thing with the rulux rims all round, will look great

RE motor mount, thanks for all the info, luckily the db01r comes with that extra heatsink in the hole below the motor, i'll check the pricing of the 3 racing one, if theres not much difference, i'd go tamiya, but i think either one will be on the wishlist, down the track if i need something extra to keep temps down, but agreed, it looks ace, it really shoudl have been something included as standard in the db01r i think
