Really enjoyed the "trials and tribulation," of the whole thing; nothing ever goes to plan. :)

Thats so weird! I was just watching through your DB01 videos thinking "oh i might see about getting one of these, i woner if Glenn has got any videos of the DB02 leonis" and then this literally popped up!! 😅😅

“Shedload” or the other word😎. Got my C11 on Monday excited for that build!

The quirkiness of this kit makes me want to build one! Great vid btw.

Thanks for sharing the ‘feature length’ build with us Glenn, really interesting car and super video! 👍🏼😎

Looks great with the hop ups! Well done 👍🏻

Splendid Saturday build video my friend 🥰

Ohh I miss my durga... Sold it many years ago. One of the cars I regret sellling most of them all.

The Leonis is much better then its reputation! I love how its looking so far Glenn 😉👍

love it. 100% right mate, very unique build with different challenges. I ran into all the same issues including forgetting to fit the trf rear lower mount. its floating around in its bag somewhere and haunts me occasionally. I have a yokomo 6.5t with bl turbo in it and its never been run for 2 reasons. i didnt want the centre diff to grenade and also at the time it was my first money pit spec build, fully loaded. was super proud of it, still am. Such a cool chassis and cant forget Toyota Toms designed that front driver position body which is fascinating on its own. No disrespedct to tamiya but looks better than the current generation of artist designed avantes and astutes.

LOOK AT IT! love it. nice to see you are feeling better. greetz from Bavaria Germany.

This was a crazy build Glenn - knew nothing about this kit before this video but what a unique engineering flex from tamiya right?!? That center unit is cool as hell 😄

Great build video! Glad you're on the mend Glenn, take care.

That looked really tricky!. turned out well though :)

We all do love a build day 😃. Chuffed your getting back into it again 👍🏻

Sorry Glenn you read my mind and shim properly I hadn't watched the hole video yet mate lol 👍👍

Another great one Glenn!!! What a shame that we only got one version of this car! And unlike Tamiya to just abandon it and not try to improve like the Avante to Egress .

What a beautiful car mate. Looking forward to seeing it finished

What an awesome in depth build, a pleasure to watch, I think that other builder will learn from this 👍

And once again thank you for stopping by... ;-)

Nice vid Glenn 👍, good to see you back.

An absolutely brilliant video. I was glued all the way through. Such an interesting build with some wonderful hop ups. It looks stunning too!! One of your very best videos I think! BRILLIANT!!😃👍👍

Can’t wait to build mine

Very entertaining as always 👌🏻

Great video Glenn as always. Hope your feeling better after the covid 👍👏

Splendid 👏👏what a build you got there in the end 👍😃

Love it, can't wait to see this running. I know what you are saying when you are builing a kit with the hop ups from the start is a bit of a pain, I did the same with my TD4.

Splendid, now you're showing your age 😉 Really enjoyed that

The build was great very entertaining. I hope you have recovered from covid . Look forward to see it running

My word this is a long one. I’ll have to come back later. I do love a long build though 👍👍👍👍👍

Neat thecnecal buggy. And like you, when it doesn't fit or feel right. Have to fix it. Yeah way different center gear box. Long build but worth it. Can't wait to see and hear it run. Love the hop ups.

Glad to see you well Glenn. I like this one. Not sure why they weren't popular but I kind of like the ones that weren't like the Tamiya DN-01 Zahhak. I hope these get rereleased sometime.

Grease around both edges of the gearbox half's will help with the dust and shame the centre diff top and top braces are not in blue ...awesome build as always Glenn and look forward to seeing her run 😎👌💪🔥🔥🔥

I'm loving this one Glenn 💙❤️ absolutely awesome 😎

Well Glenn..that's my diet gone for a walk... I've just destroyed a complete packet of Hobnobs..👍🇬🇧😎

Mad video Glenn, I can imagine trying to get all those hop ups on while building straight off, some of it look quiet complicated. Looks stunning can’t wait to see the body on and running. 👍🏻👍🏻

Great build, Cheers mate!

Love it mate! Love it ❤️

I love that car 😍

Awwwwwwesome!!!! You absolute legend for doing this 😍

Great build, really enjoyed watching it. With regards to the red tubing on the springs, I normally heat it up so it shrinks down to stop it moving about.

Another great, enjoyable build video. It was interesting to listen to you talking through how you troubleshoot and problem solve a kit that seemed to be fighting back somewhat. Lesson to learn, Shooting the Hop-Up parts cannon at a car from the get go causes issues!

G'day Glenn you have the wrong shims. It's the same problem CC01 diffs have build it how instructions say and to tight get your self a bag of shims and go through the drive line. Great build aye i've built one fun and different good stuff Glenn 👍

Awesome video😊👍👍

I built a Leonis years ago when they first came out while I was off work recovering from a operation

I find using graphite and silicone in diffs and other spots helps a lot on drag and ware on gears and quiet things up because of the pot metal gears seam to soak it up and on spur since really how often do u were out spur and pinions pretty much any were there's a pivot I use it cuts down on grease that collect dirt well keep up great work .

Excellent - but I'm itching to see the colour scheme you're going with on the shell - and how it runs!!

Seeing as only just getting back into rc after such a long time there are a lot of cars that you and Keith are doing that I know nothing about. Looks a fairly involved bit of kit . Hear you when you said about building it with hop ups as you go , really seems to add to the time it takes . I built a TT02 with mostly yeah racing hop ups , took a lot longer than fully stock lol

So being a guy who has worked on all 26 superbikes I've owned, some fully stripped n rebuilt by me, and also worked on Teams road bikes, I personally like to avoid titanium bolts at all costs, they are awful for Galling especially in alloy! They also have a habit of snapping! Very high end stainless are far better or even Alloy when used in low torque low stress area's. So personally I think those titanium bolts that didn't fit well done you a favour long term 👍

Now that looked like a very interesting build, especially with those hop-ups! Personally I wouldn't bother with the titanium screw set, way too expensive for my liking. For my M07 I just bought steel hex-head screws, a few pence each, and replaced all the screws for about 7 quid, including delivery. I'd always replace any cross head screws with hex head ones, much better. And for me the ride height looks just a tiny bit too low, but I know you like it low, as it were. Anyway, excellent video as always. Or should I say 'splendid'?😉😉

Very nice Glenn 👌, what chassis it is , I also can't wait to see and hear this thing running,

Nice one Glenn! A question for everyone out there - there seem to be a lot of new Durga kits on eBay from Japan - are these just new old stock or are they still in production for the Japanese market?

Sometimes things that seem simple can turn quite fiddly to get right. The o-rings could have gotten smoother after a while because they will compress over time, but the shims seem a better solution indeed. I have spent hours on the gearboxes of the TC-01, but the output shaft to the central cardan's stay noisy whatever I do with the shims. I can't get them smooth/silent..

Interesting build. Not sure I would buy one for the price they are going for.

Man, I had to Tony Start mine...... all from pieces in a cave

You sound like Keith lemon

Also, RC Icons stopped in and snagged something

Doesn't it have 60/40 front to rear bias? Thus creating the friction

Thought this had the same centre diff as the durga? Looks the same from top veiw

Your looking a bit better Glenn more colour in your face 😃🤙🏼

Box art the body please. Lol

Wonder if this will ever get a rere 🤔

I really like the overall look of this one Glenn even though it was somewhat complicated, and all that blue 😱❤️. I saw one a few years ago and now wish I would of got it☹️. Just needs your touch on the shell and wing it'll be interesting to see what colours you choose 👍👍

I didn’t realize these had aluminum gear boxes.

Blue is always better Glenn… don’t doubt the heat dissipation efficiency of blue anodised motor plates 🤣

Would of been better if it was mine looks ace dose thea car

Thanks for the video, i too installed lots of hop up parts. Had lots of fun with mine. Raced it a few times, but now it sits in the loft. I did get it out and had a mess around during lock down 2020, here is the video of it with a gopro attached to it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7KfmZqAqLa9oXU.html

Time to shave you're head pal
