Also just go onto TD's website and look at most of 2011's set ups. Adam Skelding and Nathan Waters have been running the big bores for around 6 months, there set up sheets are also on the website.

I modded mine to 2x1.8mm (front) and 3x1.7mm (rear) and loaded them up with 35/30wt CML/Fastrax oil after Craig's (Hulk) advice.
Instantly I had doubts as the car felt so light and bouncy compared to my previous setup of 6x1.2mm (f) and 6x1.3mm (r). Last night ran them at Ludlow (very bumpy grass) and the car was transformed! It just ate the bumps for breakfast. The smaller bumps I didn't even notice and the larger ones that were throwing a lot of cars up into crashes it lifted, but once back on the ground carried on without a sniff of being unstable. My Dad's SX on big bores looked very lively compared to mine! Just need to test it over jumps, but I'm feeling very confident going into Kiddy on Sunday

Bought some 3x1.7 and 2x1.8 pistons as craigs setup.
The front feels silly bouncy, Ive kept uping the front oil weight, I'm at 50wt now and it still feels wrong and far too light on the bench. I'm using the dark blue springs too. Whats going on, this can't be right !!!!

Hi Craig
Bought them from Nick I think, chap on here who sells tapered pistons for Losi and the Durango. I didn't have the drill bit sizes to drill them myself so I just ordered the right sizes. Also, when removing the kit pistons, all 4 have a bit that's broke away around where the screw goes through, so they are buggered, almost looks like a washer the piece that's come away.... Just put 42.5 in the rear to get it feeling something like, I'm confused ! Cheers Andy

That fact you say the pistons are damaged can't be helping! lol.
Also if your using tapered pistons, they feel a lot lighter and bouncy compared to standard pistons. Ive just got standard Durango pistons which ive glued up and drilled out myself. My car doesnt feel bouncy at all, even when pushing the suspension up and down whilst the car is on the bench. Im on 3 hole pistons 1.7mm rears, 27.5wt oil, light blue springs. For the front im on 2 hole 1.8mm, 45wt, dark blue springs. The front actually feels quite stiff, so im really not sure whats going on with yours  .Can only put it down to using non standard durango pistons, which are tapered and possibly damaged. Craig

Hi Craig.
It was the kit pistons I replaced that were damaged ! Only one run on them too ? I've got 50wt front, 42.5 rear, big bores with kit springs, new tapered pistons, 2x1.8 3x1.7 Feels all wrong on the front, much lighter than I'd normally run, rear seems ok, still a bit light ! Are you at Batley tomorrow ?

The reason your shocks feel wrong with 1.8 and 1.7mm pistons is becasuse your using tapered pistons.
With tapered pistons i would try something like 3 hole 1.5 in the rear and 2 hole 1.6 in the front. Your currently using my set up which is for standard pistons, not tapered. I won't be at Batley tomorrow unfortunately.
