I think more people have moaned on here about them than have actually contacted TD. TD will not sort problems with individuals cars that are posted on here. They need to be contacted direct.

Regarding the Slipper. The visible amount of thread on my slipper adjustment is between 3-4mm. So it is worth experimenting with it to get the right amount of slip. I have had 1 drive pin break, and that was due to me rush the re-assembly 5 mins before a race. And I've been racing the car since last october.



Why don't people moan about upgrades and option parts on £400 Tamiyas?
Probably because the Tamiya is £400 after upgrades, not before (well, to be fair if you buy it abroad!!). There was a thread a while ago where Jimmy/myself/Northy I think it was discussed/argued the Durango/Tamiya price thing and to be fair they ended up very similar for a blinged up hopped up Tamiya vs similar Durango. The Tamiya is very durable in that condition though.

Not commenting on the Durango pin issue as I haven't seen it, but as you asked thought I'd answer
