dbo1r gear diff??
 

hi there has anyone tryed using one of tamiyas gear diffs in there db01 or 501.im thinking of buying one and just wondered if they were up to the job of running in the rear of the car using brushless:confused:

I used gear diffs in the front and rear of my DB-01 last year; inside and out (and the bit of the year before when they were released). This was with a HPI Flux 7.5 (mid timing on motor and a bit of extra timing and boost on a Hobbywing 120A speedo) and had no problems at all with them.

I just changed the oils a couple of times as I had a small amount of seepage (probably due to me overfilling them) but had no problems with the internal gears wearing and slipping.

I did find that as there was no give in them at all compared to a ball diff I had to run the slipper tighter then I would have normally done with a ball diff so you may need to bear that in mind.

I plan on buying a DB01 R just because you can run stick lipos in it.
I have a 501x Worlds car, is it possible to take all the parts from it
and transfering it to a new DB01 R car? Basically saying combining two cars together to make a really good car.

501 dbo1
 

hi there i also had a 501 and now only run my db01r iv put 501 diff halfes in it all four corners coplete from my 501 ,all fit straight on makes the car strong,and mine goes really well:thumbsup:

It certainly does Mr D :thumbsup:

I put the new metal gears on my DB01 Gear Diff and the buggy becomes inmortal!! 30000W silicone in front and 3000 in rear

Also I put the new double slipper set and the buggy behaves excellent. :p
