DB01 Newbie

[Goodie]

Hey folks,

thinking about buying a DB01, I've been reading alot about it... right now I have Df02, which has some upgrades to it... I like the Durga... what how do you guys like it..

very neutral on the base setting, very tuneable too, and for smiles per dollar, can't get any better than this!!

if you plan to use a modified motor get the slipper clutch kit.

Hi.

After broke yesterday another rear suspension mount (rear gear box) of my DF-03 (3 in one year). I'm also thinking about to buy a DB-01 for racing. So after read a lot of posts here, I made a small shopping list to buy all the options that the car needs and some spare parts with the car together (I already have TRF Shocks). Can you tell me if I forgot something?. Is possible to use TRF-501X diferentials directly on the DB-01?.

hi eotz you do know that this a budget race kit right?
if you are goin to race with this kit i advice to keep spending as little as possible on this kit. but if ur running brushless then dont skip on the slipper clutch

You can directly use the TRF501X differentials, but with that shopping list, you're better of buying a TRF501X kit.

Hi.

The idea is to buy the kit and spare parts at the same time. If I buy the reinforced carbon parts, I will keep the originals for spare if in the race i break something (From one side to this time, quite habitual ).

But yes, maybe is better to buy a TRF 501X WE but without spares.

Thanks

Eotz, you're crazy! Haha.

Btw, the rims you listed are the black ones. Some of my friends who have had them seem to agree that the white ones are stronger for some reason. I never had the black ones myself since I got the Baldre which came with whites.

Also, I wouldn't bother with rear universals since everybody says they are shorter than the dogbones and come very close to falling out at full droop.

Frankly, I think you should play with the buggy a little and decide if you like it before you spend all the money on the options.
