All about the same but at least they have them in stock
I used these for buying some ABC Hobby MINI Countrymen, they were awesome 48 hour delivery from HK to here

Are they pin drive rather than hex drive then? Bought my DB01 (can't say D**ga without thinking about Team America) this morning when Stellamodels supposedly had 4 available, now a bit worried that they've gone out of stock and I'll have to wait. Ah, well at least it may give me a bit of time to source a slipper, one way and some CVDs.

small losi hex on the front and pin on the back - yes. Yokomo fronts will fit but not rears.

to be honest, it is probably cheaper to buy the tamiya ones, I am after shock length so I can try to work out what shocks to use.

Hello all,
lurked for a while but thought I would actually show my face.
Very interested in getting one of these. Used to race in my youth but only now getting back into it and hopefully getting my son interested.
Anyhow, probably going to order 1 from stella but they have no slippers yet.Supposedly they will have in their next tamiya box of goodies. has anyone managed to source one of these?
I have a mamba Maxx on its way from BPP (sale on 6900 at the mo) and don't want to fit it without the slipper.
Also has anyone found anywhere the has the Acoms 2.4gh in stock?

Thanks in advance

Wayne

Default DB01 Wheels

To save faffing, I've got some from Stella as they were cheap enough even with postage, 2 sets should be enough for now. If Her Maj's Customs don't stop it on the way in I hope it'll be ready for the next Worksop round.

Default Durga build

Ive started to have a look at the build for this and could do with some advice from you guys who have already built yours.

First page part D12 (also D10 and D11). what are these for?. do I have to use all of them. They seem to be some kind of spacers.

Second page part BG8. It says to glue with synthetic rubber glue?? I think the part is metal but have not taken it out the bag. What did you guys glue this with or did you glue it all all. Would you recommend drilling holes vent in the wheel rims. I don't see any and I'm told you need to do this so the tires can flex?

Hope this is the correct place to ask all this and you guys don't mind me asking.

at the moment, most of us are still waiting for kits, so don't know what you are on about.

yes, put holes in the rims, 3-4mm

Default slipper kit and shocks

So as I asked above, has anyone managed to source a slipper kit for this kit yet?
Also on the shocks front, will the 501x's be a straight fit? Or are there others I should get instead.
Really itching to get this kit but don't want to fudge the transmission by running without a slipper?
cheers

Default Slipper + shocks

RC Champ do currently have slipper kits in. One would reasonably assume the TRF501X shocks would be a straight drop in (I havent ordered my Durga yet).......if you can find them, anyone know who sells them as a set ? hunting down the individual componets is a bit of a chore....and sourcing the 501X threaded alloy shock bodies are rare as hen's nuts

I've seen the bodies around but I got my shocks from champ. Came complete apart from plastic parts and pistons I think... would rather buy them as a kit tho - not sure why Tamiya haven't released them?
