Considering a Durga, any issues?

[fb5b]

Hi all I am looking into a Tamiya Durga as my Evader EXT is not behaving, continually killing spurs and other drivetrain issues no matter what I do (have rebuilt it SO MANY TIMES) am running a Mamba Max 5700 on 6 Nimh cells and want a car that can take it.

I know the Durga uses similar diffs to the TA05 which I know how to build (raced a TA05 for ages so have it down to a bit of an art) and am hoping the belt drive will be less strain on stripping areas.

Any suggestions / ideas?

I have chewed 8 spurs on the EXT this month, spent $$ putting in Nitro evader tranny idlers etc and still continual issues, I've had it!
