I got a heatsink for mine. That's gonna be crazy!

I have to get custom aluminum c-hubs machined for the truggy front end to allow me to use 2wd front suspension. I need to get another set of rear hubs, bearings and cvd's too.

DF-02 is ready to go. This set up works well and the body sits down nicely. The 19T is too tall so I def need to get to the gearing process.

eBay actually:

dinball
stellamodels
jandgstore
zenaracing

All out of HK.

The parts were half the cost they would be state side, INCLUDING the shipping. You were right LB!

Man, remember when dinball had the whole aluminum conversion for only 40 bucks. So it was even cheaper a while back. I like the look of gpm's shocks over the tamiya ones, but I'm sure the quality is better on the tamiya units.

Yeah, from personal experience, I know the machining on Tamiya's aluminum parts is qutie a bit better than those from others.. but of course, it shows up on the price.. so... (a pair of aluminum steering knuckles from Tamiya would be like $35.. while it is like less than $10 from those other brands..)

I got my TLT knuckles and had to use my Dremel to grid out some material in order for the bearings to fit.. but oh well, what do you expect, you know!!

Oh yeah, I think Tamiya makes some of the best shocks (TRF road shocks).. the DF-03 shocks are pretty much just the longer version of the TRF shocks.. same design...
