I've been racing a DB-01 with Rulux wheels for years now.. The wheels have always fit for me with no rubbing or binding.. It could be a combination of parts I am using that make this possible.. The hop-up parts I run for the front arm assembly are:
Tamiya Wide Operating Front CVD's
Tamiya 12deg Front Castor Blocks
BOCA Yellow Seal ceramic bearings (this should not matter since bearing dimensions are consistent)
Tobee Craft direct replacement front hexes (blue anodized)
Tobee Craft used to make a 'direct replacement' front hex for the DB-01 (not the 12mm hex). It appears to me that they are perfect copies, but it is possible they could be a hair thicker than the stock Tamiya hex. I am not sure if these make any difference over the stock hex.
Sadly, I have not seen the direct replacement hexes for sale for quite some time now.. It appears that Tobee Craft discontinued them??
Hope this helps.
