In this video I finally reveal my Tamiya DB-01 Durga. I've had it for a awhile and I took my time building it to source the upgrades I installed. In rthe end, this car is better than I expected. Easily one of my favorite Tamiya buggies! - Zábava
Looks great!
Those DB-01's are really cool. I wish i could find a RRR
I will be looking forward to that crazy Rlarloo speed run
Haven’t had the time or the weather to try another run since I installed the big motors. Hopefully this month the weather will be nice and dry enough.
Nice video, just subscribed. Loving your paint job on the car, looks great. I just bought a new Durga and as you mention getting parts is a bit of a pain. Going to take my time though and get bits here and there as they come up! Slipper clutches are pretty much impossible to get now so have ordered gear diffs and will probably limit power to help with reliability.
Thanks for the sub. Took me a few months to find the slipper. Cost me about $125 to get. I think I have the gear mesh too tight. Gotta open it up and adjust it before I run it again. Tamiya should definitely consider doing a rerelease of this kit in my opinion.
Thanks for the Vid! Happy CNY mate, hope you get a break! Cheers from Zhuhai!
Been off for a week already. Spent time filming on Xishan. Travelogue type video. Not sure where to post it. Not this channel… Maybe just on Facebook.
I was thinking of getting one. But, since they're hard to find, I figured I'd wait until rere.
Of the older discontinued Tamiya kits, I have to say, the standard Durga kit is one of the easiest to get your hands on. Seems they produced way more of these kits than they sold.
I just checked out the channel for the first time today. I am thinking of getting the rlarrlo twin motor. So looking it up i found you. Are you a Canadian channel or are you in Asia? I figured canada because you talked in km's and US dollars
I’m Canadian living in Shanghai. Welcome to the channel!
I think the ball differential is too loose! I have two NIB and have assembled one！
This is my favorite one from Tamiya ！
Mine has gear diffs.
@@Triggered-RC Perfect ！
Something is too tight, ive the ta05 v2 ( car version of this) and the belts dont sound like that- it would be nearly silent there.
Yeah. The gear mesh is too tight in the video. Fixed that.
Looks amazing, great job 🤩 Tends to whine, is something binding? Sure is a ripper.
Yeah, wonder if my belt is a little tight. When I built it I made it a bit tight figuring it would stretch a bit. Gear mesh seemed good though. I’ll take it apart and investigate.
They designed this to be used in Durga Durga stan
How do you compare it to an Avante MK?
The Avante MK II is a DF03. No comparison. 100 times better. Or do you mean the original Avante? Way ahead of that as well. I don’t have the latest Avante, but I asked Gavin of RCKicks to do a vid comparing his Durga to the new Avante. I think it’d come out on top.
@@Triggered-RC I may have to buy a Durga to try it out. Any suggested upgrades to buy? May as well smoke my credit card all at once. Thank you for the reply!
@@thunderbomb515 Probably a good idea: Shocks, double slipper clutch, aluminum suspension mounts. It took me months to get all the upgrades I have on mine. Bought most of them direct from Japan. Slipper clutch was the hardest to find. Cost me about $100. PlazaJapan is a good site for buying Tamiya parts from Japan.
@@Triggered-RC Thank you for all the answers. My friends like to run Traxxas Bandit's or Team Associated. I like throwing out crazy (Tamiya) buggies whenever we get together. I was running one of my Falcons the other day. They are young and never seen one before. Nor have they seen a mechanical speed control! Dang I am old!
