Wow!!! That explains a whole lot. I took it out for a test with the 5700 in it, and I couldn't figure out why it seemed like if I grabbed the throttle for all it was worth, the rear would recieve no power. well time to tear it apart again

just make sure you keep the rear diff properly adjusted and lubed!

A tiny gap needs to remain between the gears, otherwise the teeth on the spur gear will get chewed up by the pinion. with a proper mesh, the spur gear will always remain in mint condition. |

I usually find that the spur is slightly out-of-round or off-centre, so I rotate the spur until I find the spot that is tightest against the pinion and use that as the point to set the mesh. The pinion and spur should be very close together at this point but still have the teeniest bit of play between them (or use the paper method at this point).

Which of the supplied pinion gears should I use? Also, can you just use the velcro to attach the body, or must you use the snap-pins too?! Thanks! |

Could anyone kindly let me know if the Associated (B44) front hex wheel adapters work on the DB01 as well as the rear axle blue spacer? I assume the rear body wing from the B44 works for the DB01, but if anyone knows first hand i would greatly appreciate it. I will provide the links for the parts that I'm referring to.... Thanks Guys.

One last question about parts fitment. I went ahead and ordered the TRF 501X Rear Hubs/uprights(part# 51274) since the place I was ordering from was out of the stock DB01 rear Hubs/uprights (Part#51310)
They look to be the same except for the material on the TRF version, which looks to be made out of the carbon reinforced plastic as opposed to the DB01's. Well I hope the answer to my question is 'YES' considering that the mounting holes on my hubs are stripped like a bitch. I will be utilizing some of my blue loctite for these new hubs that's for sure. Thanks for any input as usual |

I have the Baldre body, so will try without the posts (looks better!).
How about the pinion for that motor? Thanks! |

Hey, good looking Baldre you got there brother. And yes, this is a great forum for information. I also wanted to say good luck over there in Afghanistan. Blow some heads off of those CIA trained terrorists for us. I was Army from 2001- 2005 so I know your situation. Hang in there and occupy yourself with the wonderful hobby of R/C in the mean time, but stay alert, aware, and ready yourself mentally for the worst situation that you can possibly think of and you'll be good. No picking the pot plants or opium either, ha ha JK. Enough preaching on my behalf, but good luck and god bless. Oh and when you come back, don't expect to get a job right away unless your re enlist or know someone that can hook you up. The Economy is in complete fucking shambles and it's only gonna get worse. The dollar is dead, so just be prepared for looking at a new type of currency in the years to come. Sorry to leave you on such a sour note, but I only speak the truth brother. Ya dig... |

Has anyone found a major difference in space between the Durga and Baldre bodyshells? I've read in a few other places that the Bladre shell is actually a better fit for the DB-01 Chassis

Baldre shell has better air flow buy far...and better speedo and motor clearance
And looks better Andy

Cheers for the reply Andy,
I agree, the Baldre looks so much nicer, I think I shall have to sort myself out a new shell, Not everly keen on the Durga shell myself. This is my Durga, Not done much to it as of yet, but have some bits on the way to repair the damage from the last outing Suspension mounts I've found to be a real weak point. |

I personally like the looks of the Durga shell, but like most body shells, a proper paint job can really spruce things up as with a cheesy looking paint job using some of the supplied decals, such as with the Baldre can be a real turn off. I must say that I've seen some really cool looking Baldre shells that stuck with a basic concept, using none of the supplied decals (maybe a few) and it was like day and night between the box art body for the Baldre. If I ever do replace the shell for my Durga, I will be going with the Baldre (What the hell is a damn Baldre anyways? Jeez Louise Tamiya!!, Lol.) but sticking with a simple scheme as mentioned, (maybe a nice White, with the use of black decals and clear windows of course.) I think this will bring out the real beauty of the dynamics used for this particular body, as opposed to the box art which literally makes me want to regergetate. LOL. There's a very nice looking pic of one somewhere in the photo section of Oople that tickled my fancy. It may have been Mr. Hupo's if I recall correctly.

the Baldre shell is a snug fit round the chassis, so if you are racing, or am concerned about dirt getting in, use it, if you are not, then choose the one you like!!

I am concerned with sand getting inside. Besides your info providing the assurance that the Baldre be a better fit than the Durga which I hreatly appreciate as always, do you know of ,or have u heard anything in regards to those little diff protectors that they sell now as an upgrade for the DB01 series? I only ask, because I would really like to keep the whole drive train(Diffs included) free of fine sand especially for this one spot that I love to go to, but have had to do way too much maintenance afterwards to make it even worth going back to for more rounds. Thanks. |
