Sounds like a plan mate.
i did see a report on the new R model and it does look very nice indeed, so if it's possible to blag some parts from that, I'll definitely try them - the only problem seems to be finding a UK supplier with actual stock of RBO parts.
For now though, I've been having real problems - i did the run in exactly as per the manual (when i first got it going it was screaming - i think someone else must have been fiddling with the needles in the shop prior to purchase because they were nothing like the stock settings as stated in the instructions!), but it's some years since i've been into R/C in any form and despite doing what the manual says to do in respect of the idle air screw and low end needle I had a real problem in that it would shut down every time the brakes were applied (all this was done with the model off the ground) which i think is a problem with either the idle air screw or the low end needle. I eventually got it to idle without stalling and when off the ground the wheels would spin under throttle, but when I took it for its' first real world run (all trims set to 0) it initially just crawled along then wouldn't move at all when the throttle was pulled. The only way I could get it moving was by turning the throttle trim all the way up and then off it went, but of course didn't respond to trigger pulls, only to the brake when activated on the tx.
It did seem a little unstable and upon checking the ride height it was coming in at about 35mm front and rear, as opposed to the stock setting of 26/23mm & the screw thread gap on the shocks was about 8mm as opposed to about 3 or 4mm stock setting. I've screwed them up now to the stock setting which has lowered the car to about 26ish mm & hopefully restored the carb to factory settings so fingers crossed it may work better next time.
I've also found that having greased the drive shafts front and rear, the front boots (wheel end) just will not stay in their grooves & once again nobody seems to have stock immediately available. Have you got any suggestions for this as my lhs said just leave them alone & don't worry about them, or would you let me know the Durango part no & supplier you got yours from (& how much!!).
Are the CNC diff plates already out or are they part of the new R spec?
Also, do you know of any other compatible upgrades/replacements from other buggies that will fit the One mate?
Sorry for so many questions but I could really do with all the help I can get.
Cheers
Rick
