When are you going to upload the reveiw. I still only have mine about a third built. I have no idea how tight to make the diffs.

DCM 09-12-2007 07:33 PM

the diffs need to be tight enough so that when you hold the outdrives locekd still you can't turn the pulley....

drinternat 09-12-2007 07:41 PM

Ah! Now the instructions make sense. I guess I need to take it apart again to get at the sprocket. thaks DCM. (wish you lived near me!!!)

DCM 09-12-2007 07:50 PM

you don't need to take it apart, easiest thing to do is lock the outdrives still and turn the psur gear over, if the spur turns (if you got a slipper clutch, tighten it up fully), remove the driveshaft from the diff screw side and tighten it an 1/8th of a turn at a time.

OK ill have a go at it tomorrow then. Thanks again

DCM 09-12-2007 07:58 PM

Am I correct in saying that saddle packs don't fit? shame if that is the case.......:(

A.J. Gee 09-12-2007 10:46 PM

Is it just me or does the manual for the durga not include instructions for the placement of the decals? Another thing that i discovered is that none of my receivers fit in the spot provided for them. Now it looks like i will have to order the tamiya Tru-02 receiver which fits perfectly. Money that i dont have at the moment.

Mines built apart from the body posts which i left out thinking i could get away with velcro to keep the shell on.Any tips guys ? or do i have to ream the shell and fit the posts?

Also what colour scheme you all using? mine still needs a bit of colour :)

A.J. Gee 09-12-2007 10:58 PM

Yes you are correct in saying saddle packs dont fit. Why would they? Have you looked at the chassis at all?

I have tried with a futaba fp-r122je and a hitec hp-2rnb. I know for sure they dont fit.

They'll fit no problem, the chassis is designed to fit side by side packs.

If the receiver doesn't fit have you tried the ESC there and the receiver behind the motor?

The problem i have if i put the receiver behind the motor is running the receiver wire over the motor. By the time the wire goes through the antenna hole and up through the antenna tube it is very short, plus i dont wanna have it going over the motor because of heat.

DCM 09-12-2007 11:46 PM

you mount the aerial back there.... but seriously, how big is your receiver, I got a few TA05's and only the older receivers don't fit... and they are mahousive.... bricks..

The receiver dimensions are 1.82" length 1.31" width. I know that i can find receivers that fit in there, but its just a bit disapointing. I want everything to fit nicely without having wires running wild so im not about to place things where they shouldnt be.

I think you'll definately have to keep the rear posts, but the front of the body will hold on ok with velcro.
