Problems with my DB01R

[Carno]

Muratti can you make a vid (with sound offcourse) of your car when it makes that noise?
It might give us a better idea of what's wrong.

I don't think you mentioned what motor / ESC combo you are running, what gearing you are using and which battery..

If you motor massively overheated in the past, then you could have been running with a damaged motor all this time..


Also, it is not normal for a DB-01 to nose down so quickly after a jump (possibly also caused by a motor issue).. If anything, it is much easier to get the DB-01 to go tail down by staying on the throttle.

The nose should only go down if you ease off the throttle after jumping or by tapping the break.. It should especially not go down if your drag break is disabled.

I have found the DB-01 to have great aerial control while racing, so I am sure we can figure this one out..

Thanks for all your help guys. I was at the LHS and we checked the motor- it seems that the rotor is damaged. I have a LRP Vector X12 7.5 motor and an LRP SXX TC esc. The sent the rotor to LRP. We´ll see if they will change it but i think so.
In the meantime i put in a 5.5 rotor but didn´t have the chance to check if it works now because it was raining all days long. Also my NIB TRF201 arrived and i had to build it the same day i got it! Just gotta love that design. The car is very well engineered and the body looks awesome i think.

Painted in PS48 Semi Gloss silver anodized aluminium. I love that colour

That looks nice Muratti! Do you need a backing color for that one?

[fastinfastout]

apparently you need to back it up with black.

and yes I agree, that is one of the best looking single colored cars I have seen.

I would be interested in seeing some other colors like either iridescent pink gold or purple green.

fastfastout is right, it needs to be backed up with PS5 Black. I did 4 coats of PS48 and 2 coats of PS5. Thanks for the kind words.
