Updates
More arrivals tomorrow
Both batteries are 4.2A
The 25c is larger and won't fit by any means. The 40c will be a very tight fit after some trimming

According to my tracking numbers tomorrow I will get my aluminium shock towers and my new pinions and some other goodies. So this will look even better

stupid me.. I so eagerly went to get the new parts only to realise that I ordered the wrong shock towers. those are for TA01/02 chassis and I need the DF01 ones. -_-
I feel so stupid

I got the shaft and motor mount from www.fortuna-racing-cars.de/
great service I must say.

I know a solution for that... put them on the Trophy Truck (TA02T). ;)
You're not the first to order wrong parts for a DF-01 for sure.

that's what I ittend to do.
already ordered the correct ones from fortuna racing rc
where the main shaft and motor mount came from. relatively pricey but well worth

by the way I opened both Gboxes and greased everything as it seems that there was little to no grease at all. also replaced the metal gears with modern plastic ones . the car is much more quieter now.

and this is what I ordered
