Zero problems with my first Durango
 
2 full 4200 25c packs with a 10.5 motor and a heavy throttle finger. Running the center slipper adjusted in hand by feel.
Nothing came loose, nothing leaked. I did no adjustments, in fact I took no tools, only the car the radio and the 2nd battery.
I will do the same today and expect the same results. I did put in MORE POWER :thumbsup:
The lesson is simple, the more complex the car the more time and care it takes to work on, no shortcuts allowed. Think about even the simplest part until your brain bleeds. It's just plastic and metal, you are the heart and soul.
ps I haven't run an rc for almost 15 years... this lipo brushless stuff is great.
Cheers

Let's see how long it takes for you to say the diffs are leaking, diffs are stripping, wheels are falling off, broken wishbone holders, bearings collapse......

:D

Afterr all I had no issues with mine apart from leaky diffs for 5 race meetings, I'm sure it will be the same case here

No problems here either, but I wonder is 6 months use really a fair test???? Maybe I'll re post if I ever get a problem. Don't go holding your breath though.:thumbsup:

Captainlip you are just a pathetic c&@k really. Yes you did have issues, you opened the box and built it s&#t. :yawn:

You could obviously turn any car rubbish just by owing it because you are a bellend without a clue. :lol:

That would be a good tuning option if it worked. Durangos are good on medium to high grip tracks. I find on low grip tracks they cant generate any mechanical grip but a ball diff would sort that. :thumbsup:

Couldn't agree more, I spent an absolute age on the build to make certain it got put together right & been running the car for 7 months now with no issues whatsoever :thumbsup:

An old addage springs to mind... Measure twice cut once!
