I'll update this....
diffs are back and in the car and running smoothish so far, hoping to get upto rossmods track tommorrow night. bill from durango was £60.
reasons for the shits failing was a number of reasons that could easily be overlooked.
1. bearings had collapsed. to the naked and untrained eye they seemed fine to me.
2. gearboxes where stripped at the screws as they had been opened and closed all the time (because of 2 rebuilds and shimming) this meant the cases werent closed tight enough causing movement in the meshing. either way i sent them to rango as they were after 4 heats and were in a real bad way.
they noted wear in some of the pins and other bits. for to date my diffs have cost me £150. they were rebuilt by adam skelding so should be fine.
I cant fault the customer service, but have to say durango failed to realise I had to rebuild these twice, the first set lasted 2 meets, meaning something failed to quickly, some of it would have been down to builder error but cant help that something was wrong out the box.
either way its resolved now, i have my version of events and rango completely believe it was user error. after £150 just on diff parts and sending it to be rebuilt by a pro, if this happens again i will send them to rango covered in excrement and the rest will be in the for sale section.
but for now i will continue to support and race with rango products as i freaking love them.....just loath the diffs.
