I'm in the same boat as Sime in that I ordered my Tresrey stuff just before the Durango gear came out. Got them yesterday and I will say though you get a lot in the Tresrey packs. I'd go with them as they do look the business too. The driveshafts even came with serrated nuts. Replaced all 6 shafts yesterday and waiting for the next race to test. Will probably go for the whole lot next time, hubs, etc.

etc. - mean whole TreseyRango buggy? :D

I'll just spray the whole thing red and say it's Tresrey. I still want chrome wheels though.

It would be much better to get that buggy anoed red, but oh
it would make that damn thing most expensive 1:10 scale buggy :D

I´ve got question:
What´s the difference between the 2mm Driveshafts and the stock Driveshafts?
The Thickness of the Pins?

Yes :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks assob4.

Do you think, that the 2mm Driveshafts will be in the Durango "out of the box" ? (i hope you can understand me, my english is very bad:blush: )

Well, they will be in the box of the 410R, I guess that the pro kit will have them as well from now.

why will they be in the pro kit from now on if when we ask why the pins snap we are told we have built them wrong:confused:

surely if it's a build problem they shouldn't need to be replaced?

can someone from durango explain why you are replacing them please?

valid point

come on durango were is your reply?

think somebody should contact citizens advice on were we stand.

This forum is helpful, but, you'ld get better results by sending TD a direct email.

hang on a minute we have been discussing this for quite some time, but know body (as for as i can see) have not replied to any post.

this does not look good for durango.

i have had the same problem as everyone with the pins last week my car went on fire due to the pin piercing the lipo this was the reply i got

You have seen that we are introducing drive shafts with 2.0mm pins. These are new parts, not changes to the existing parts. These new drive shafts have been developed for the DEX410R model as we feel that the users of this slightly lower end model would not have so much experience with setting up of the slipper clutch, making the use of slightly stronger pins necessary.:thumbdown:

what a shiest:blush:

this 1.5mm pin stuff is starting to make me mad, and the disregard of the problem even more so. I understand that the 1.5 pins work if built correctly, but no matter your skill level or your car building prowess, there is ALWAYS that "what if" factor. Something as questionable and basic as this is a bit ridiculous coming from a $700 car

:cry:

if this is the case why are they putting them in the new batch of pro kits

Or why is it the Team drivers use the 2.0mm shafts?

At the end of the day it looks like team durango arn't going to be offering any discount or freebies to customers that have allready spent there hard earned cash on there kit so it's either spend the £100 on a new set of driveshafts or keep using the standard ones or sell the durango and buy something else thats just my opinion

Paul

your bang on mate that seems to be there stand on the matter:thumbdown:

anybody want to buy a durango?
used 4 times once outdoors.
p.m. me if your interested:thumbsup:

I think i am with you on this one paulc many drivers will be voting with there feet me thinks.
I have two cars to upgrade so might just sell them both and go back to the s4's where the pins have never been a problem?
paul.:woot:
