Thanks for your help Dave, but i guess i failed to mention that i have the 3racing graphite shock towers. So i guess it will fit properly without any modifications to the tower since the area on the tower is flat, unlike the plastic towers.

if you got the 3Racing rear tower, yes.

Alright, thanks for your help.

I'm thinkinf of buying a Durga together with MambaMax ESC, 5700KV Mamba motor and a 3s Lipo. Yes it will be fast, realy fast. My DX7 TX will do much of the limiting using a mixer. Switching the mixer on or off will enable/disable the limiter during runtime. Nice for the straights ;)

I'm looking at the following Lipo's:
Hyperion CX - 3S 5350mAh, 85.6A Continuous (16-25C)
Weight: 350gr, Size: 29 x 44 x 138 mm

Hyperion CX - 3S 4250mAh, 76.5A Continuous (18-27C)
Weight: 293gr, Size: 22.9 x 44 x 148 mm

I'm unsure if they will fitt inside the Durga. Can anyone measure that up for me?

Thanks for the help.

Race got scratched today due to some early morning rain (cleared up nice-could have had a good race day:mad: ) Got some practice tho...buggy runs great now...very pleased. I just need to dial in the slipper. Front belt feels tight to touch (without centre cover on)
running 23/91 13.5 B/L
One note:
I would hesitate recommending the Yeah-racing 501x cvd sets...the SS pins don't stay put at all !...I'll try to make the most of them by locktitening them in place and sliding a section of heatshrink over 'em to be sure.
How are the genuine Durga cvd sets holding up ?

Genuine Durga UJs running mint here. They are exactly the same as the 501X part so you know it is quality.

When you got them, did you strip, clean and build them from out of the packet or just slapped them in the car?

I lubed my genuine Hop-Up CVD's with Tamiya Anti-Wear grease and so far they are fine, no discernible wear at all. Highly recommended for what they cost from HK.

The TRF Buggy damper set is available on eBay! Don't no if I'll buy them, the DF03 damper set seems to be okay for now.

Yes, I put them straight in - after wiping some of the oil off.

When I got mine, I never trust the 'pre-assembled' driveshafts, I stripped, degreased everything, re-assembled with loctite on the grub screw and applied some Tamiya AW grease, no problems so far.

Got a link to these? or ebay item number?

Yeah sure:

;) Thanks Vin

Sounds like I need to take a leaf out of your book there DCM....

Im not sure if i can bring myself to buy a $70.00 + pack of dampers. Although they do look pretty sweet, thats still a lot of money. what do some of you guys think?

I think the price will come down when availabilty increases...its the same with anything in demand.

lol, never trust anything pre-built not to stay together

I sure hope the price comes down because at this point i really want a set of dampers, but have limited choices. I really dont want to go with the 3racing set. I have some on my keen hawk and it looks like the set that they have for the Durga are the same exact, except maybe for length. I guess i will just have to be patient and wait for the Tamiya ones to drop in price or for another manufacturer to make a quality set. :p

I am not holding my breath for the price to come down to be honest, although I am sure the supply will free up pretty quickly. Tamiya stuff tends to remain at the same price seemingly forever - certainly where the kits are concerned. My Durga cost me £73 the week they came out and they are still at that price now, its just the exchange rate that changes to affect the final UK£ price.

Anyhoo, $70 isn't too bad if they are as good as we hope they are (and I guess we won't get a verdict on their effectiveness until someone takes the plunge and reports back). Bear in mind Team Associated charge $80 for their RC10 dampers ($40 each for front and rear pairs) and they don't have springs either.
