    DB01-R "Evo"

    A refresh is long overdue for my DB01-R: The original plan was just to do a full strip down and rebuild onto a new chassis tub, but I then got a bit distracted over at Plaza Japan and ended up ordering quite a few new parts! I was keen to get hold of an RR or RRR chassis tub, as this is moulded to accept square pack lipos. Unfortunately you can't get them anywhere so I managed to source a brand new R chassis instead. The R chassis still allows for a square pack, but it sits a little higher due to the traditional 7.2 pack mouldings. I'm aware that you can mod this with a Dremal tool but I'm not overly concerned as its worked fine to this point. Interestingly, the DB01-R has its own unique chassis, different to the Durga and Baldre. It looks very similar so I'm guessing it's primarily materials: I was tempted to just buy a full RR or RRR kit, but I'm not a fan of gear diffs, and I kind of don't want to part with my original R if I'm honest. So the plan is to take all the best parts from the RR and RRR chassis and mod them on to mine, and at the same time refresh some of the key components. The main mods I have planned will be fitting the big bore aeration dambers and adding the rear upright setup used for the RRR. This uses the reinforced XV01 uprights and a few other bits. Other minor mods will include adding the aluminium motor plate and some hop up steering components along with a new 6.5t motor (the original one imploded!). The first few parts have arrived: Anyway, if anyone is interested in seeing this project let me know and I'll attempt to add the progress to this thread. Dave
  2. Hi Any build tips and oil weight setup tips for the buggy big bore shocks. I'll be running them on a DB01-R Thanks 👍
  3. I've just taken the plunge and bought the newly released DB01-RRR. I'm relatively new to RC (after 30yrs!), and I wanted a high-spec 4WD basher and to be able to pretend I could take it racing if I wanted And the RRR seemed to fit the bill and be quite good value. I've just finished the chassis build, and have transferred some basic brushed/NiMH electronics across from my DT-03 to do some indoor check runs. But I want to try out LiPO for the first time - and also take the opportunity to see how good today's fast 4-pole brushless motors are. So I have in mind: Trackstar 4-pole 4850kV motor Hobbywing 120A ESC A mid-range Turnigy digital servo LiPO 3S (Turnigy nanoTech, or similar) I do have a couple of questions for other DB01 owners. Firstly, how does the above seem feasible (if a little overpowered)? And secondly, how big a LiPO battery can you fit into the chassis? 139x45mm seems the maximum footprint, but how high can I go? 27mm looks very possible, especially with the flatter carbon strap. But has anyone fit in a 30+mm square LiPO? thanks
