Hardly call a wishbone and a shock shaft alot of breakages mate..

Great review Jimmy, you've done the burga, or durga proud!

[jimmy]

haha, that motor is ace ash!

Breakages - I broke a wishbone in a full speed head-on crash into an immovable object. Something had to break sadly. The shock shaft was a 501X shaft - not the kit dampers.
Any other breaks listed are not on my car but a 'heads up' to prospective owners on what's been breaking.

Awesome job as usual on the your review. The Durga truly is an awesome vehicle in my opinion and apparently in yours as well. Such a kit deserves the attention and praise that it has attained throughout your review. Keep up the good work.

Awesome review as always Jim. Want one even more now

Out of interest would the 501x outdrives fit? would it be worth ordering some with the kit?

Bit of a tough question though now!! to get the kit with the slipper, replacment screws, 501x shocks, CVD's and ali steering bridge its comes out at about £165 from japan; but you can get a 501x for £216...
Do you reckon its worth saving the 50 odd quid and going for the durga?

The outdrives will fit. I'm running a pair on mine now.


Another great read. Thanks for the awesome effort with the great pictures and content!

I know that you mentioned it in your review but i will still say that the bottom of your chassis looks a little melted. My chassis doesnt look like that, but i guess thats what makes your car unique from the other ones.

mine is like it to, the bottom of the chassis, I think it is just a quirk of the sie of moudling to be honest, it hasn't caused any tweak either.

Breakages are just what you would expect, not to sure why the shok towers are going though, will have to look into it. Think I shall have to get some carbon towers for racing, or make some.
