Tamiya Durga DB01 EP Buggy (A cheaper 501X?)

[mog ruith]

guy im having problems with my durga chassis slapping after every jump
im using those soft white springs what viscosity of damper oil do you guys recomend to use in order to stop this problem btw i prefer losi oils cos my lhs has a supply of them

[Spoolio]

I run 35wt oil all round, don't think it matters too much what sort, mine is a mixture of Associated, Losi and Schumacher depending on what was available at the time. Springs are either Associated blues (front) and silver (rear) or Tamiya whites (no paint dots) on both ends. No noticeable problems with slap running a Trakpower 4900 lipo. To some degree it depends how severe your jumps are I guess.

I don't smoke either, or asking you to smoke, but they are the best alternative, other than buying Tamiya ones, which I wouldn't even know where to get the part number from.

If we are talking about the red urethane foamy bungs that go into the outdrives, the part number is TA-53577 TRF Damper Urethane Bushings, they are (or were) a dollar or so from RC Champ.

Just go to a public place that has ashtrays and put about 5 or so filters in a sandwich baggy. Do an about face, and walk home proud knowing that you didn't have to spend money for urethane foam.
You know what still pisses me off. The fact that tamiya released 2 hop up options for the durga that are not compatible with each other. Which of course are the rear dampers and universals. This is the combination that im trying to work with since i lost a dog bone due to a bad crash. I guess it's pure and simple. Tamiya made the dampers too damn long. Or did they make the universals too short? I would have to say the damper's are too long IMHO.

the new rear tower that is being made by Atomic Carbon is ideal, as it got stock, and 5mm higher mounting for the shocks, this makes the CVD's and the shocks live in perfect harmony.

The Cigarette Filters cost about a £1 from any newsagent.

Bye dude. Have you sold the Tamiya / defected to Yokomo / given up on toy cars altogether or what?

[A.J. Gee]

I think my country is in a crisis that is going to spark war. Watch loose change on youtube or google video. I have gone into deep information that i wish i never found out. The Zionist jews are running this world. We have concentration camps that have been discovered out in the mojave desert and other secret places. The government is trying to push for New World order. The ones that are resistors of the new world will be sent to the camps by our military. They have a blue and red list which you can google for yourself. This sucks that i went so far deep into this information. It's been a burden to my mind for some time now. the Skull and Bones is a secret society which formed at Yale here in the states. Check out the info people and spread the word please. Please get this out. We have criminals in the government. They are the new age Nazis but they call themselves Neo cons.:bl ush::blu sh::blus h:

[A.J. Gee]

Oh and by the way i have not given up on my toy cars. I still love them very much. I never received my Yokomo by the way. I gotta get down to the bottom of the situation, which i will be doing tommorow.

[A.J. Gee]
