DB01 Baldre - parts questions
First kit, deposit down,, two payments to go... I can hardly wait!
Going to be fittinng some hop-up parts nearly right from the start (front/rear aluminium shock towers), but I'd like to get some 501X diff halves. I cannot find the part number, though! Anyone know this? |

don't bother with alloy shock towers, go for alloy suspension holders, front CVD style driveshafts, slipper clutch and 501X diff halves for the rear.

Will do
Isn't there a problem with the regular plastic shock towers breaking, though? Also, by 'alloy suspension holders' do you mean the aluminium suspension block (54039)? Last edited by cloakable; 16-12-2008 at 01:43 PM. Reason: Asked for clarification |

Didn't you mod your wing further back, though? :P

no, my wings are all cut to sit on the tower. putting it slightly further back might well help - but I've been on my roof plenty of times and not had any problems.

Ah, okay.
Might still eventually grab the aluminium shock towers for the bling factor, though |

Tough shock towers
Agreed. I have been racing my Durga for months and have never broken the stock shock towers. They are seriously strong!

there is far less give in alloy than plastic, so as you land upside down, ALL the shock is transfered to the gearbox tops, rather than some flex absorption by plastic or even Carbon Fibre towers.

Also, alloy shock towers are passe.
