The ultimate Durango (AKA V3?)

[Dazzler]

So, what would the ultimate Durango be:-

What mods have people done to their cars?

What mods have people seen on cars at the track?

What have the team been testing that has been caught on camera?

Basically, add anything you would like to see as an improvement over the existing car. It will be interesting to see a customers wish list, compared to the release spec...

And if team Durango wish to drop in on this post and confirm the spec.. Feel free!

We've seen the double D joints, alloy diff housing supports, shell, big bores, but what else?

they could put a sticker on every box

For me:-

• Big Bore Shocks.
• New Body.
• Tresrey type servo saver.
• MIP type drive shafts - you know the ones with the retaining rings rather than using grub screws.
• Wider wing.
• Larger headed screws in the diff casing - I'm constantly stripping them.
• Battery clearance to 27mm in height - my Vampier 5400's have expanded a little, they are 26mm in height.

A stronger wing would be nice, other then that I'm happy.

Rear body mount further into the shell ! I've seen alot of good paint jobs get bined cause the shells rear has ripped off.
Larger rear wing with the adjustment of the 2005 prototype cause that was ace!
Ball diff option and one way!
The battery strap needs a couple of ridges adding on top of it to hold it more ridged so it doesn't keep rubbing the prop
And a little lump adding to the right hand side pod around the servo saver, just enough to get my servo wire away from the saver serrated nut...

These would be great
Many thanks team Durango for the last couple of years racing I have had, virtually no maintainence or breakages. I have never none reliability or durability like it. I've never waited longer than a day for parts.
And I love the little touches like giving 3 types of set up each track (same conditions) for your driving style , smooth,med,aggressive. Touch! well done.
You've come from know where and showed the world of rc how it should be done

I've used a stronger rear wing and they still develop holes where the plastic bulkhead pierces it. I added a cut out of the previous wing under it to try and strengthen it a bit, but it's gone now

Best thing to do with your wing is put shock 'o' rings under, and on top of the the wing.

Ive used standard Durango wings for months on end in this way with no problems.

I'm not having that happen on mine, mine tend to start to fold up like a clam, ends up 2" narrower, and an inch higher the normal, makes it fly all funny

Maybe I'll give Craigs o ring idea a go, might help if it's not mounted too stiffly.
