Hi all.
Gotta start off by saying thanks Jimmy, it was such a great review that within day's of reading it I went out and bought the Durga from the local model shop (well done to 'Mick Charles Models' for getting it in so quick!).
Build was ok, pre-tapping everything was cool as it made what was a fun build last that little bit longer!?!
Anyhoo, stuck the slipper in, together with my Mamba 5700 BL setup and it's been kinda ok for a few runs, but just recently it has gone very down hill. Just seems to slip the whole time. So I tightened the diffs thinking it might just be them bedding in, no luck there. Ended up driving it with the slipper done all the way up and tightening both diffs, still no joy!!!
Just taken it apart and realised that the diff plates are loose, obviously not enough super glue added during those initial stages.
The problem now is that the 37t pulley has melted holes around the balls (sounds painful eh?), basically the holes are now twice the size and there is melted plastic around the inside of the middle of the diff. Harsh.
So, just wondering if anybody else has encountered this? Also just a heads up to anyone wanting to run even a slightly mental motor in this baby, USE COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF GLUE ON THE DIFF PLATES!!
Oh, and just ordered the TRF501X shocks and 3racing towers from 'Stella', seems like great service so far.
Anybody got 2 x 37t pulleys they want to sell!?!?!
