The text says USA version includes body and wing.

RC Mushroom are based in Hong Kong, so I imagine this price excludes body and wing.

I already got my kit and built it. There are no flourine sealed ball bearings included, i think maybe Tamiya wanted to do this when they did the manual but then decided to pack in normal metal shielded ball bearings as maybe the flurine sealed are too expensive?
For sure is that the kit comes with metal shielded ball bearings.

I remember that there was an issue with the bearing supplier, which caused the delay in the release...

[muratti]

Correct, but if they had problems with the fluorine selaed ones would it mean that all fluorine sealed ones are damaged or something? I just ordered some

Well I wouldnt want Acer bearings in the car anyhow.
They prematurly fail over time. The metal ones repel dirt better.
Rubber sheilded would be even better. It's cheaper to get
a full set of Bocca bearings than it is acer. A set costs $55.
While the Acer's are over priced at $89
You e-mail Bocca the measurements and they make you some.
As they make bearings for real cars as well.

If you cant get Bocca in your area then maybe try TEAM BLUE STAR.
I have them in my blackfoot xtreme and they last forever!

I don't think they were damaged, but I either they were sub standard or they couldn't meet the deadline

[muratti]

Ok thanks.
Has anybody got some information if the Front wheels will be released in black and yellow as for the DB01/TRF501/TRF511 cars? I saw some pics of a TRF201 with yellow wheels at the Shizuoka Hobby show but in all information i have read since then there wasn´t even a part number for yellow or black front wheels.

[B44&501xRacerEX]

The only option is dying rims. Id rather not try it and just leave 'em white.
Black ones might come out. Dont know about yellow.

[muratti]

Thanks, i did the first test run today. It handled well! I now have the manual setup but need some info: what can i do if the rear end is a bit loose on power? In long curves it tends to oversteer too much. I did tighten up the diff a bit and made a little more negative camber on the rear. Is this the right way to go?
Also what oil should be used front and rear? I used Asso 40wt at front a 30wt at rear. Is it too hard at the front?

I race on dirt with Schumacher Mini Spikes yellow front and rear and have a LRP Vector X12 8.5 motor and LRP Sphere TC esc. Both stayed very cool compared to my DB01R.

Any help is much appreciated.

Try the following:

- Less anti-squat
- Softer rear spring
- Front shock more inclined

I´ve tried them and can´t really say they are better than other bearings I´ve tried.
The shield came right of on some of the bearings...

Thanks Fredrik, that is what i hoped not to hear
At least i will try them once and if i find no difference i will buy rubber shielded ones from Macau instead.

[Fredrik Emilsson]

I think that´s a better option...

It's in the country

I´ve had 2 cars in customs for almost 6 days now.
Hope UK customs are faster than swedish customs.

But I have spare parts, ha ha!
