with the standard TRF springs that come in the damper bag, even with the spring retainers fully wound up, and the shocks lying down (top, inner bottom,outer) i still cannot get the rear low enough. Just managed paralell with the soft TRF springs. I'm guessing that this is because the durga shock towers are a little lower than my 501.

nice job with the Durga video that was added on youtube about 22 hours ago. I also wanted to mention that i was very happy to see Radio Control Car Action magazine do a review on the DB-01 buggy. The writers for the review were spot on, as they mentioned about the screws being tough to thread the plastic. They also mentioned the error that was made in the manual about flipping the diffs when putting the thrust bearing and screw in the short side of the out drive rather than the long out drive.
The section where they have plus and minus about the car is as follows. the pluses (+). -Tamiya Racing Factory performance for hundreds less than the 501x. -Well balanced chassis, slick belt drive. -Accepts Losi X-series and associated B44 wheels. -Future-tech styling. The minuses (-) -Front universals would be nice. -Tight fitting screws are tough on the wrist. Another part of the article includes to say. " The Durga isn't a first time drivers (or kit builders) best choice for a play buggy (go for Tamiyas DF-03 or DF-02 buggies instead), but for performance-minded drivers with a little experience, the Durga is responsive, reliable, raceable car with Tamiya Racing Factory DNA. Hey Jimmy: If you feel that i may be endangered for plagiarism, as i did quote part of the article word for word, please delete it immediately. Thanks A.J.

I didn't measure the front as this doesn't appear any different. I'd like to see some shorter rear springs for the car. With 501 shocks on it (with the extra internal limiting) it is difficult to get the rear ride height right, even with the spring retaining nut unscrewed all the way (using AE green springs).

just something to share here about the shock length....
i bought a recent japan rc magazine and it features satoshi maezumi's setting on the durga using 501X shocks. rear shock length 103mm (soft 501 spring) front shock length 83mm (medium 501 spring) mounting position is according to instruction for all shocks. ride height: front 23mm rear 24mm (with 1mm suspension spacer mounted in the suspension mount) has anyone try it ?

Bender, I didn't really notice the rear of my car sitting that high to be honest - I've got the collars unwound all the way - much like I do on my 501X I guess. Using siver AE springs the rear is pretty much where I want it. I get a LOT of droop but no problem I guess unless you're using the CVD's. To be honest the shocks are straight off my 501X with absolutely no changes - I just wanted to put on shocks I knew worked but I didn't really consider the tower might be slightly lower.
