Buy a basic Durga or Durga plus hop-ups?

[fresibaresi]

Hi Guys,

I am thinking of buying a Durga (along with the other zillions) and have noted that there seems to be a few essential add ons to make it competitive. So, should I buy the standard out the box version first? Or spec it up immediately with slipper clutch, UJ's, One way? The second option really bumps up the price to about the same cost as the likes of the a B44, XXX-4 etc.

Thoughts?

buy it, buy the slipper and then factor in the others in the future. If you buy from Stella that will be £100 shipped via EMS, next would be CVD's and the 3Racing suspension mounts.

Also get the aluminium and titanium screw set from RC CHAMP if you can, they are quality stuff

For racing I guess the TRF shocks are essential. Those plastic stock units aren't up to the job.

I wonder : adding the costs of shocks, slipper, shocktowers, screws, UJ, etc to make the Durga competitive : wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy a TRF501X in HK ?

I've raced the car in various states, and if I could choose one thing to make it competitive it would be the TRF shocks. Slipper and one way are nice.

Kit + slipper + shocks will get you a car that will be competitive at club level and more importantly will be reliable. You could then add alloy hingpin mounts + front CVD's if you wanted. Thats all you need other than a decent motor and some ability. By the way if anyone has some talent to spare, I'll buy some .
