Will bring it to Off Road Wars - not sure if I will have it completed / racing or not, I might have to race it without a painted shell, we'll see. So far it seems quite good, I've messed up the build already which is funny.
So that comment about e-clips above is really my own fault / Tamiya's silly bagging system a bit to blame also. Never mind haha.

Lets hope you can get it done, I have a set of TRF dampers you can borrow if that will help?
Look forward to having a look at the car. |

+1 for another epic oOple build article. The DB01 review was what made me join oOple in the first place.

Yeah come on jimmy,i used mine on sunday,it does go really well especially as apart from the slipper clutch it was box standard,i did blow out 1 of the plastic centre cup joints,have a set of metal on the way so that will be problem cured.
Loved driving the car even if it takes some getting used to on the eye,but sold my durango as much preferred driving the DB02

,I raced my review car today - I did 5 laps before the rear drive cup melted and I had to switch to racing 2WD with a DEX210 instead.
Tamiya can't have tested this car at all - I ran it on low grip with a slow motor and drove steady to get used to it, but it still melted itself. Oh well. What metal outdrives are available for this car, and where can I get them?

I did exactly the same jimmy on mine,judt the rear 1 like you.
I have steel 1s on mine now,not the correct cups there no where to be found,i bought some off blacksmith products on ebay a close fit but there held on by grubscrew,they will do for now. With them on the car im happy with everything else,the car really does go well

I would like to know if anyone's managed to drive it without melting it.
Are the outdrives a decent size for the shafts? Do you have a link? I did a couple of mins practice also before racing and it felt good. I borrowed some trf dampers off my old 501x to try it but never got that far

No the outdrives are to big,i had to make up sleeves to get them to fit,waiting on an email to find out when they will be available along with the rest of the bling.
I would imagine jimmy anyone who has put power through the car has done the rear cup,the others were fine no sign of melting at all,found that very strange

Here is the website to get the specification of DB02.
www.tamiya.com/japan/download/rcmanual/58507.pdf This may help you to consider whether to get a DB02 or not. |

Hi
This thread has seem to have gone quiet...I assuming this new Tamiya hasnt quite made the cut. Am I wrong?
I was thinking about it but to bring it up at least to a comp spec you'd have to spend loads more on? What have others experienced? |

Hmmm,
Think the emphasis might be on "cheap" in the cheaper alternative thread. Will stick with my 502X for now as it has proven to be a great car. Love it more everytime I drive it, and tough as nails. |
