If you remove some material (only on the top of the center cover) it will still be better sealed than the 511.
And the 511´s "Achilles' heel" is the rear diff and belt. It does´nt like small stones, ha ha. The belt and pulley wears out pretty fast if a stone gets in there.

Anyway, Tamiya could have done the DB01 belt cover a bit better. Have some ideas there.
I´m very close to buying a DB01R just to try it.
