Default Why?

Really? That's suprising

What's the reason? Why do you like the Durango more?

Don't get me wrong I like the FS, just found this 410r pretty safe.

I know it's 9/10 the thumbs as we had a club member swap from a Durango to a SX and he's a happy chap and going much better.

Really? Surprised yr finding rhe Durango safe compared to an Fs as I find the Fs the msit safe car I have driven

When you say safe where do you mean? I.e getting back on the power out of bends maybe?

Safe in the sense you can push it a little more and it doesn't lose it's composure. I did find the FS safe too, just got grip roll issues due to the nature of our track. Astro turf.

Grip roll is always a tricky one - my fs grip rolls if I throw it in hard especially under braking (not that I'm suggesting it's yr driving pal) and I guess yr comparing it to the rang and basically saying that has less grip so ain't rolling the same

Many ways of taking grip off the Fs

Shortening links will prob do the most to stop grip rolling (bar limiting shocks internally though that may stuff it if it's bumpy)

Sure nick c or mattb will come along with some suggestions soon

I do know of a lad at bury running an Fs that complained of grip roll though when u watched his driving you could see it was just the fact he was being too aggressive

Valid points. If I can get some time this week I may pop to the track after work etc. to test further
