So whats the final consensus concerning the TRF shocks and DB01?

[RBX]

Can they be used without the rear shafts falling off?

Do i need shock limiters? how many?

3R racing graphite shock tower?

[simoncrabb]

Normal length TRFs, no spacers.

Atomic Carbon rear shock tower.

Any rear shafts.

No problems.

[DCM]

are they the 501X, 511X or DB-01 upgrade shocks?

They are great. They do include the longer hop-up titanium shock shafts though. This means they need a bit of limiting in the rear to keep the dog-bones or CVD's from falling out of the outdrive on the DB01. The fronts seem perfectly fine on mine without limiters.

Tamiya's writeup recommends two o-rings as limiters to get the job done in the rear:

The DB01-R kit has the shorter shock shafts from the original 501X kit. The kit instructions recommends a small 1mm plastic spacer as a limiter.

Ok well noted so the upgrade trf shock kit for the db-01 with 2 small red o-rings for the back.

Thanks for the input
