Has anyone run a Tamiya Durga DB01 EP Buggy? Can you give us some info on it and how you like it?
Thanks.

nothing...

Anything you need to know about this car just ask me.

This one's mine, I raced it all last year, a great performer and tough as nails with the right bits fitted. I chose it as I wanted to run my LiPo stick pack otherwise I would have bought a 501.

yeah it is a very hard car, the period I used it,I just broke two parts...
I have aprox the options fitted as you.
Nice car!

Very cool cars, I always wanted to know about its performance on the track.
Thanks for posting.

I used to run one, with most of the options on the list above (std slipper rather than the double slipper).
Although I had the 3 racing alloy outdrives in the front diff with the 501 diff halves in the rear.
Strong cars, ideal if you want a competitive car that takes stick lipos.
I would stay clear of the 3 racing shock towers, they would be stronger if they were made from cheese!
Get the Atomic Carbon towers as the rear is taller to allow you to run the aeration dampers without fitting limiters as the standard tower is too short (the atomic tower has two sets of holes to allow all dampers to fit)

I would go for the DB01MS as that has most of the hop ups as standard, you can then use the setups for the 511.

One other nice thing is they are different, not just the easy pick it off the shelf choice you got to do a bit with them to make them work but done right they do work.

Oople did a full review on the Durga a while back when it was released. His reviews are always pretty awesome.
