Hello guys!
Happy New year and Happy Driving!
Made an observation:
Recently bought a DB01R to complement my DB01.
I had the DB01, the all 'plastic' one for a year and broke nothing.
Since i started racing the
carbon reinforced, i broke a front and a rear arm (deformed a hinge pin!)and a rear upright. They are all carbon. Is this a coincidence? I believe my driving had improved over the past few months, so i suppose it is not me!!!
I believe the carbon reinforced parts are far less forgiving!!!
And another important observation! The hex
conversion (and rims) messes the geometry! I started running my DB01 last spring. I wore the hex conversion from the start, never tested the car without it. Well, i couldn't turn right even with the craziest settings! Like driving an octopus on a frozen lake! On the dirt track it was so and so, but when i got on a slippery asphalt track it was horrible!
I saw DB01s on the track behaving far better than mine, but i just thought it was my 'hands'. Thens some of the other DB01 guys commented on how my car looked strange! Wider front than rear etc.
So i reverted back to the stock attachment and stock rim/tires.It is now like driving a cheetah!
Any comments or personal experiences on those observations?
