2 full 4200 25c packs with a 10.5 motor and a heavy throttle finger. Running the center slipper adjusted in hand by feel.
Nothing came loose, nothing leaked. I did no adjustments, in fact I took no tools, only the car the radio and the 2nd battery.
I will do the same today and expect the same results. I did put in MORE POWER :thumbsup:
The lesson is simple, the more complex the car the more time and care it takes to work on, no shortcuts allowed. Think about even the simplest part until your brain bleeds. It's just plastic and metal, you are the heart and soul.
ps I haven't run an rc for almost 15 years... this lipo brushless stuff is great.
Cheers

Let's see how long it takes for you to say the diffs are leaking, diffs are stripping, wheels are falling off, broken wishbone holders, bearings collapse......

:D

Afterr all I had no issues with mine apart from leaky diffs for 5 race meetings, I'm sure it will be the same case here

So if that's the case, why hasn't EVERY durango owner had the same probs?? :confused:

No problems here either, but I wonder is 6 months use really a fair test???? Maybe I'll re post if I ever get a problem. Don't go holding your breath though.:thumbsup:

Captainlip you are just a pathetic c&@k really. Yes you did have issues, you opened the box and built it s&#t. :yawn:

You could obviously turn any car rubbish just by owing it because you are a bellend without a clue. :lol:

That would be a good tuning option if it worked. Durangos are good on medium to high grip tracks. I find on low grip tracks they cant generate any mechanical grip but a ball diff would sort that. :thumbsup:

Couldn't agree more, I spent an absolute age on the build to make certain it got put together right & been running the car for 7 months now with no issues whatsoever :thumbsup:

An old addage springs to mind... Measure twice cut once!

ok... another day of running the piss out of it and I broke the front bumper. And it does have the tiniest bit of dust collecting at the rear outdrives. Everyone happy now? Our track is more suited to an FOFF rig just so ya know. As my dog says... RUFF RUFF

:thumbsup:No problems here also. I have the car almost a year and after 2 races and hours of bashing nothing went wrong!! I followed the instructions and my experience with other kits. Any upgrades made for lightening the car (Tresrey parts) and for making the car more beautiful. I like the red coloured parts.

Are you sure you not talking about yoursely pack-meister:lol:

I believe I've told you before, stop hiding behind a keyboard. I told you to come to the last round of Worksop and we can sort things properly. You bottled you inbred.

I saw you on tv last night. It was the program about the peado ring and you were not one of the coppers. :woot:

Apart from leaking diffs (which they do, get over it) i have never had any of these issues that you talk of. I reckon with all the issues that you have had, you build your cars to a low standard and you hit just about everything on the track (an off of it)

I have run my 410r indoors on carpet, outdoors on grass and astro and i have yet to break anything. I think they are great.

Talking from your own mother's experiences and it obviously worked with yours that is how you were born apart she was spit roasted by the whole of her own family.
:D
This is why you look like one of those inbreds on the hills have eyes. I bet you don't race no more because you new hobby is washing the spunk and crap stains from your mothers bed sheets and curtains. :woot:
