hehe,
guys, i m not thinking the durango was a bad car! But i m surprised how much time need to spend for the maintenance.
We run in this place :
The surface as medium grip and loose dirt mixed with clay.
i know 8.5 hour is little bit long but i like when my cars was great in shape.
So, yeah 2hour to rebuild a diff, usually i rebuild a diff completly in 20min but when you need to remove internal gear to grease de Xring... it's a bit longer.
After that, i remove every bearing to check and every CVD to rescrew and check.
Before the durango, i ran an hot bodies D4... and sincerly, the maintenance was little bit more boring due to the numer of screw needed to remove the top deck to find the diffs but i never replaced any bearing on the car and i check after every race.
i m hardly thinking to replace all of my bearing by boca bearing Abec 7... may be is the solution.
And no, i m not very hard on the gas... i never broke anything on the durango.
So may be i m a bit the cleaning freak ahah
