Another great video👍
Thanks buddy 😊😊😊
Car looks like a blast to drive! Great video
Thanks buddy 😊👊🏻
Looks amazing.
Thanks Robert 😎👊🏻
Looks so gorgeous with that paintjob! It runs so smooth and quiet. I need to get one, fantastic buggy!
Thanks buddy 😎👊🏻
Nice video,rig and setup on the rig
Thanks buddy 😊👊🏻
I feel the need, the need for speed! Loved my Baldre DB01 until I put a 6.5t brushless in it and melted the diffs. Probably not set up correctly though. You can spend a small fortune on these (like most Tamiyas) but with diminishing returns. Ceramic ball bearings, one way pulleys, double slipper clutch, reinforced plastic bits etc, but I think you’ve got your set up spot on. 👍
Yeah thanks Craig I’ve spent enough on it now and tbh I’m really happy with it 😊
Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
That sounds so smooth🤩🤩got my Durga today, can’t wait to build it👊🏻👊🏻
Excellent 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
The newer cars are future lengends, so they definitely deserve the love, so I would love to see more of this stunning car! All the best, Toby
zombiethon
Thanks Toby 😎👊🏻
Good morning Glen!!!! Another entertaining video!! I say that because before you I had no idea this buggy even existed! All the videos you have done on this one has captured my interest. Myself like others I’m still stuck in the 80’s Tamiyas . Couple of on roads but that’s as crazy as I want to get. So I’ll have to live through you I guess! Keep up the great videos and as always don’t stop making videos! Thanks buddy your awesome!
Thanks as always for watching Chris, it’s greatly appreciated my friend 😎👊🏻
more than happy to watch you learn about something be it via friends, the facebook group or even your own research and then watch that be applied, tweak slipper, still not quite right, tweak it some more and try again etc.... thats part of the fun, its not just driving the cars, its also the tinkering and upgrading, even if that upgrading is actually the tinkering of existing components rather than just throwing more hop-ups at it
Yes I agree it’s fun learning new stuff 😊👊🏻
Thanks for watching buddy
That slipper was really loose in the beginning. Just my opinion but I think the speed is good where it is!
Have a great day and be safe out there!
Thanks my friend 😎👊🏻
great video Glenn mate ive never had one but they look so cool👍😊😎🤟🇬🇧👊
Thanks Leon 😎👊🏻
The buggy looks like it is stable and under control, you could give it more power but it might not be as fun to drive . Looks like a nice buggy and another great video Glenn.
Thanks Eric, yes it’s awesome and I really enjoy running it 😊
Thanks as always for watching buddy 👊🏻
Brilliant. I love the durga. I call it "club spec", and great at what it does. The sealed drivetrain is a total plus for outdoor and that thing is tough! So glad its finally getting the "legend" status it truly deserves! Mines got a 6.5 and its insane. 5.5 is the lowest id go. 3.5 prob too much for buggy. Great video as always, thanks for sharing!
Excellent and thank you for watching buddy 😎👊🏻
I said it before, such a awesome car.
I must get mine up and running, when I see how nice this car goes.
Keep it up mate.
Excellent I didn’t know you had one 🤩🤩🤩
TAMIYA Legends got it a month ago, swapped it for my nib vw beetle m-06
I've gone trought the same experience like you but a few weeks ago. Unfortunately not with an Tamiya but the point is the same, ball diffs, slipper, just new stuff we didn't have back in the days. Sure, we all love our old Tamiya's, but with newer technology there are also improvements done to the RC cars which can be seen hear in handling and acceleration.
Great video Glenn and thanks for sharing 💪
Stay safe
Thank you my friend 😊👊🏻
Your enthusiasm is so infectious. Makes me feel like doing more RCing.
Thanks Tim I’m just a big kid at heart my friend 😊👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends I think we all are mate. I know I am.
Top video as always. I didn't manage to get a DB-01 Glen, but I have picked up a DF-02, which arrived about 3 days ago. I'm looking forward to giving it a full strip down and building it to my spec.... 👍
Excellent Phillip 🤩👊🏻
Love it as is Glen, makes me want a tblm-02 in mine when I build it!
It’s a great little setup I’ve really enjoyed mine so far, I’ve even run it on 3s (full battery) it ran great 😊👊🏻
TAMIYA Legends need to find a reasonably priced tblm-02!
Looks fast enough to me. Finally got my Durga up and running a few weeks ago and yes it's a pretty amazing car, smooth, precise and lots of fun! The slipper clutch adjustment seems to be a black art but had to tighten mine as it wasn't quick off the mark. As for the car not getting enough love I truly believe it's because it's missing that typical Tamiya character, something I'm attempting to add to mine!
Excellent Matteo 🤩
Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
I have used that 10.5T Tamiya motor in my DT-02. The TBLE-02 is not enough ESC for that. I did a test. My DT-02 with 19t pinion and 10.5t with the TBLE-02 ESC did 33 mph flat out. I changed THE ESC to a Tekin R1 pro and took it back out and did 36 mph.
That would be fast enough for me for sure. I agree with you about too much speed equals less fun.
Yeah I need to just leave it alone and enjoy it 😎👊🏻
Thanks for sharing Glenn, if possible it would be really cool to see how this performs vs. a retro buggy like the avante over a timed lap of a course, even at the local park!
Hey Rob,
So I’ve now found a bmx track that I’ve been running cars on, videos to come soon 😊👊🏻
Cool looks quick
Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
Lovely buggy and amazing paint scheme! I am not an expert but wrt setting up the slipper clutch, I think most people approach it the other way around meaning first tightening it up and then loosening it until the correct set up for the particular surface the buggy is running on is found. That way, you don't unnecessarily expose the spur gear to excessive heat.
Excellent information thanks Maarten 😎👊🏻
I'm pleased you've got in to the TRF range and the cheaper counterparts. Much more interesting to me than the older stuff. Shame Tamiya have stopped developing modern buggies.
Max Roczen
Yeah I’m certainly enjoying learning new stuff Max, hopefully I’ll get my TRF503 built soon 😊
Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
Epic looking paint job on that durga 👍 Michal orlowski has a good slipper guide on his channel for L1 and cougar might be useful for you
Excellent David thanks I’ll have a look 😎👊🏻
great car, lovely build - re top speed, that's really determined by the course where you run it - no point in having those long legs if you can't stretch them out. And as you point out, top speed will always come at the cost of acceleration, in any given set-up.
I love the db01. I've got a v capable upgraded df03 and would love to see the 2 compete against each other on track. Df03 is so underrated if a little injury prone
I’ve got a DF03MS coming to me soon 😉👊🏻
4:45 => I have a good turn spin now on both diffs on my Durga. No Slipper. Runs great on 4600kv Razer Ten Combo (which i can HIGHLY recommend - much better than the F540 combo from China) on 2s and 3s ! THANKS for the advice, Glenn ! Before, the diffs were way too loose and top speed could not be reached...Fortunately I did not melt the diffs on the 10min I ran (which happened to the diffs of the previous owner of my used Losi XX4G+, that I bought on Ebay and restored...). DIFF ADJUSTEMT is CRUCIAL, guys !!!! I don´t understand why there is not detailed instructions on that issue in the Tamiya manuals...Well, probably to keep selling their spare parts ;_)
I've seen a few setting the slipper clutch videos and they all seem to do it the same, they hold one rear wheel with their hand and put pressure on the other wheel with there forearm and then hit full throttle on the radio for a couple of seconds and if the front of the car lift's to a 45 deg angle its set correct if it lift's to quickly and to high they loosen the clutch and if it doesn't lift then they will tighten it.
Oh interesting thanks for sharing that Tony 😊👊🏻
Very jealous 😏, it has the same set up as my tto2b buggy and unless you race, dont think it needs to be faster, as you lose your fun factor imo
Great video again 😉
Yep you’re spot on buddy, I’ll leave it alone and just enjoy it 🤩👊🏻
Glad you realised it was still slipping too much... ☺️. You could try an esc with the ability to dial in some dynamic timing for some extra top end . A 10.5, properly geared and with some ‘boost/turbo’ can be seriously quick!
Thanks Tim yes that’s something I really need to look at in the future 😊👊🏻
haven't hit a cone yet.......... proceeds to hit 2 cones.... " i am the bumble bonk bee of tamyia rc " bonk.......... :D :D :D :D love it
Pmsl 🤪🤪😂
I'm sad I didn't get the db-01RRR kit when I had the chance. Wish Tamiya would come out with the same performance kit or a new platform.
Yes I’m really hoping to see a DB03 soon 😎🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Man that is one good looking car! Wonder how it'd look with some spoked wheels and onroad tires xD
Go through a few pinion gear changes for speed runs.
Hop ups = feels gooood😆
Absolutely my friend 🤩👊🏻
The slipper is also dependent on the surface you are going to race on. It will be a little looser on dirt/clay, as opposed to carpet/tarmac/high grip surface. Been eyeing this car off for ages, just hard to get for a decent price. 2S 10.5T is usually my limit
For more speed stick a 3S Lipo in there. The TBLE02 and Tamiya 10.5T can handle it. I have done this set up and it works.
Currently running a 6.5T speed passion and hobbywing 120A ESC in mine and that is fast enough on 2S and insane on 3S
Hugo Stokes
I’ve actually got a video out soon doing that 😊👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends good stuff!
If there's a course near by, it'd be great to see it as it was intended to be used. If there's no course, maybe make one in some local woods...
Stayed tuned my friend, I’ve finally found a bmx track which is perfect for my cars. I’ve been making videos there over the last couple of weeks 🤩👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends It was a bit of leading question since I saw the snap you took ;-) Looking forward to it - and seeing you take those spacers out of the suspension!
Slalom challenge is a great idea
Yeah hopefully a few guys might take up the challenge 🤷🏼♂️🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I would be interested to see how a hobbywing brushless combo goes. I tried a cheapo 4370kv brushless from eBay in my top force but it blew up after a bit. Not sure if it was the motor or the ESC. So thinking of getting something better quality but not sure what to get. Also the 4370 was a bit too fast for me, only slightly though. Finally after watching your Durga videos I really want one. You are costing me too much money Glenn ;-)
Lol 😂 sorry 😐
But thanks for watching my friend 👊🏻
after watching your videos, i decided to get one. getting the slipper clutch seems to be impossible since no one sells it. even the spare spur gear is impossible to find also.
“ The thing is epic “
Thanks for watching buddy 😎👊🏻
I agree with Alan, 3.5 a runway and some serious speed records, we know you want too we could see it in your eyes! hahahah! ;)
Arnold Applewhite
Lol 😂 👀 👀 👀
Love it 😎
Bought a DB01 RR a decade ago and then a second for my son so we could drive together. One of my favorite RC cars. Need to set a date and try to race it. The only flaw are the front hex hubs. If anyone has thoughts or links on how to convert front hubs to standard please let me know. Great video and build.
Thanks for watching Bret 😎👊🏻
I wish Tamiya realized what they had in their hands and releleased the type R
It’s a solid inexpensive club racer
But parts are hard to find at a minimum
Come on Glenn do some speed runs! You know you want to 😁
Lol 😂
You know me it’s very possible in the future 🚗💨💨💨
Do u got a channel shop card u could send us,? great channel. like a supercharged whistle wen u was taking off
Hey 👋🏻
What’s a channel shop card?
You know UA-cam creators like yourself and me I'm only new 1year and a half only building scale kits am getting into rc love them very costly for plastic kits I can imagine what it costs u and other rc guys anyways shop channel card is a postcard type thing u get made for your channel and you put name your channel an a pic or just ur channel pic an u can put all ur social media channels on it as a promo tor of u and what u do I've still to get mine made too but I'm only over 200subs but yeah u can get a place to do them or get printer which is what I'm planning create your card with ur channels and media sites an give them out to other you tubers to put in the background of there videos and wen they get them from you in post send it in post to there address u get threw email and they thank u shout out your channel gets u more subs I taut ud of having a lot of other guys contacting u an asking u do u want one there's they usually send u there email u send address but just try keep most ur private details like address an that obviously off UA-cam ware anyone can see it at least if its a channel ur sending or receiving shop card from u know it is a legit channel like I live in Ireland most my UA-cam friends are from America that u was saying about views inal that's why u create ur shop card shop meaning ware u sit build vlog like u are now with the rc an card is the promotion by sending them to people if u look at couple my mail call vids ul see I always start with shop cards I've received from other UA-camrs if my mail call starts off with new kits first then it's only kits that day but all my last few mail calls are shop cards I was sent that will or should give u a idea what I mean hope it helps you have awsome stuff u say ur likes and views aren't what u expected there's ur answer mate it works really does everyone supports everyone in rc and scale building we watch like comment nearly every video so shop cards ar what u need buddy to get made or make urself if can some are like postcards some like photos of the channels promotion anyone interested will ask u for one when they receive there viewers hear about u and watch u an then ur channel gets shout outs and people sub to support you an channel specially if they like what they see a lot my subs do both rc, s and scale builds so I'm rambling on check out my mail calls are shop cards with kits like I said I'd I start off with mail its shop cards to there channle
Sweet! Have u done a video on the TT02B Buggy yet? I'm about to start a "massive" build on one......every piece of steel and aluminum I could find......
Excellent 🤩. No I haven’t yet
Nothing better than a bling project 🤩🤩🤩
@@TAMIYALegends ok, thanx for the correspondence......keep up the good (Tamiya) work 😉
I'd put a 6t in it Glen, pros use 6t on 2wd so you should manage it with said turns with 4wd
Nice one thanks for watching Rich 😊👊🏻
Could you consider doing a Durga/503TRF comparison?
I thought u were going to hit all the cones :)
Get some Pro Line Prime tyres, they are awesome on asphalt
Lol I nearly hit them all 🤪👊🏻
It’s looks like it would be ok for racing Glen.. it seems really smooth and nimble.. what do you think???
Yes 100% that’s what it’s purpose is for sure 😎. But it’s also good for a fat lad like me to blast it around on the tarmac 🤪👊🏻
Although track videos are coming soon 😉
Yes we are hahahaha
Now get the tribute porsche out and see how careful you drive then lol
Paul's RC
Lol 🤪. Nooooooo
But you’re right 😂 I bet I wouldn’t hit a cone 👊🏻
The Durga is pretty much just another racing buggy but the older vintage ones like the Terra Scorcher/Boomerang/TopForce etc are from the good old days when we were all much younger like in our teens so we will always have fond memories of those classic vintage buggies as they bring back nostalgia and good memories that modern ones will never do, just my opinion of course lol
Whilst I agree totally I have to say I do believe that the, DB01 & 2 and all the off road TRF buggies will be pretty sort after in 20 years from now 🤷🏼♂️. But yes they don’t have the character of the cars from the golden era of rc 👊🏻
Servo speed makes a big difference to the response of the car to
Paul's RC
Yeah I should probably get a good spec servo for it 😬👊🏻
Do you prefer this car or the Tt02B 4wd buggy better?
Speed run 😁😁😁
Quite possibly 🤪🤪🤪
Are you using the Sky rc speed meter software, I have the same meter and although the meter works I cannot for the life of me get the software program to work ?? any suggestions !!
Great vid love the paint!.. on an unrelated issue i cant decide my next ...build dark impact or top force(green)? Anyone wanna decide for me?
Top Force 🤩🤩🤩
Done thanks
I think you need to adjust the slipper a tad bit more. It should start gripping at about 1/3 to 1/2 of a meter.
The views might be down cause of the length of the videos. Long videos often get fewer views.
Quite possibly 🤷🏼♂️
Maybe put a hobby wing brushless they give great performance for not a lot of money
I wouldn't go any faster with it unless you only want to go for speed runs.
I honestly had more fun driving my Grasshopper when it had the 380 motor vs. the 540 Torque Tuned, it's weird.
I know exactly what you mean Mark and you are of course spot on 👊🏻 I need to leave it alone now and just enjoy it 🤩
Thanks for watching and commenting 😎👊🏻
Hi mate I run a team Orion stock esc with the Tamiya 10.5 and it goes well I think it’s faster I haven’t a gps to test it but I drag races my mate he has the Tamiya esc and it kicked it’s backside
Yes I’ve heard the 10.5 runs better with a higher spec speedo, I need to try another 😊👊🏻
Here Im practicing figure eights the other way around lol=)
I'd stick a 2 - 3 tooth higher pinion on rather then mess with the timing for now if you can put on any bigger, otherwise if the motor runs nice & cool with how you run it in general & the esc is the same with a fan ontop of it just max out the timing on the Tamiya motor & see where that takes you for now imo.
Maybe a trackstar sensored 120a esc with adjustable timing & keeping the tamiya motor too start with and just go bit by bit rather then spending way too much money on one car & multiple motors with the same 10.5t winding really, it could be better off going too a 8.5t instead rather then a more adjustable 10.5t & going between different motor pinions until you hit a good spot of speed & acceleration on the 8.5t motor.
I think replacing the esc will make the biggest difference though with some timing on the Tamiya motor added.
If you want way more speed in the future go with the 5.5t sensored motor with a bit of timing & then adjust the timing down a bit & you got a real missile of a buggy.
Then a 17t - 19t pinion on the motor it should be ridiculously quick then even with a 11 to 1 gear ratio.
When it comes too tires you can probably go for pre glued anaconda rears from the Traxxas bandit vxl on all 4 corners.
(The traxxas 2wd's front rims are all on ball bearings rather then a hex.)
A bit harder compound from an rtr vehicle that has a good tire thread could be better for asphalt, concrete or something like the proline positron in mc compound on all 4 corners seems too be a good option for asphalt as long as you dont mess about doing burnouts or donuts they should last a while.
another tire option is the 1:10th scale short course trucks that have started being turned into rc drag racing cars.
They have pretty grippy slicks for short course truck wheels, that would probably be one of the better options for asphalt as they are slicks with plenty of material on them vs buggy which tends too be rather thin regardless of tirethread.
Excellent information as always my friend 😎👊🏻
I wouldn't fit a 5.5 prob would be too much for it
I think another 5mph would be great
“Does it need to be faster?” ...... I think a check for the XY chromosome may be in order! 😬
Alan Morris
🤪🤪🤪
It does need to be a bit faster, maybe nearer to 40mph
We will see 😬🚗💨💨💨
I reckon you could fit 8.5 motor but would need much better speedo to cope with it
Yeah if I do upgrade it I’ll go for a combo set 😊
Thanks for watching Mark 👊🏻
I’m confused by what you do at 3.01
If you hold 3 of the wheels locked you should not be able to easily turn the last wheel . That means your rear diff was
Miles too loose or have I got that wrong!?.
Hi Glenn
Hey 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Come on dude, get your finger out. You know you want to buy the TRF 3.5 motor and ESC. You want to ...... we want you to ...... I even had a call from the Queen, and she wants you to. Stick a 4s in it, find a runway and crank it ..... 100+ easy. I’ll send you £20 to help you out 😬if you get enough pledges, go for it.
Lol a 100mph Durga would be fun 🤪🚗💨💨💨
Nice work, we will be at CES please check us out.
It's as fast as you want it to be I think mate
Yeah I think it’s fast enough as it it Tony 👊🏻
Thanks for watching buddy 😎
Add gear diff and quicker motor!
Thanks Peter 😊👊🏻
It’d be interesting to see a side by side comparison of the same car with std steel bearings vs those way more expensive ceramic bad boys - any experience with those? Are they work the 3X to 4X $?!? Is it more of a run time thing more than speed/accel? Durability?? Just wondering - thanks for the vid as usual love the car!!!
Hmmm interesting it’s something I’ve not thought of doing, but could make for a couple of interesting videos 🤔👊🏻
Looks like some weird front wheel angles going on, possibly just the video
No that’s what it does same as the TRF503, you see some strange angles which I guess adds up to better handling 😊🚗💨💨💨
Why is this model so hard to get?
I’m not sure it was discontinued a couple of years ago but there were always plenty for sale. I do know a lot of guys on my Facebook group have bought them after seeing mine 🤷🏼♂️
Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends thank you. Do you have a source in the UK or Europe for one? I could only get ones from Japan, but lots of shipping and duty costs.
i ö
No unfortunately not I actually got mine from Japan 😬
@@TAMIYALegends Ok. Price from japan would be just ok, but with customs it was a little too unreasonable for me.
Thx anyways and Greetings
Hey Glen just update on the talk i messaged u about shopcards if u watch my todays mailcall ull know what i meant for ur mor views promoting ur channle to watchers that don't have u subbed fitst few mins after talking to fans i start shouting out to the shopcards i just got 👍
LOL took you long enough to hit a cone! Your driving needs improvement!
It certainly does my friend 😂
