hi ,
the build problems i had were
most parts of the plastic parts were not attached to relevant parts tree and all jumbled up in bottom of bag.

pin not going through slipper assembly cover.

slipper assembly making clicking noise due to extra piece of plastic on part side.

diff a real pain to build up, rear diff took ages to get the feel and setting on how i like it.i used team durango website on how to build

front diff set up correctly but when installed on car, the front nipped the sides of the diff causing it to bind up more.

when building one cv driveshaft really rough feel to it had to strip it and slightly grease it to get rid off roughness

the quality issue for me is the amount of free play in steering and top link ball joints there seems alot are anyone elses like this ???
the fit off some parts diff side gears onto output hex`s really tight and bearings on to diff plastic side very tight i know they need to be a good fit but trying to get them off again to shim them is a real pain

why do durango use pin drive on rear hubs rather than hex`s like front what is the advantage of this i thought hex`s would have more surface area than pin`s to take drive

i really am in two minds as i like the sleek design of this car as well

i have not driven it yet as if i do i wont be able to exchange it like i could
thanks
