Hi
I have a sx2 one of the later version with the black outdrives thinking of either getting a sx3 or a durango v3 when out.Now what i would like to know is do cat wheels fit the durango?
What are pros and cons people would have swopped between them so which do people prefer.
I already have saddles that does not put me off
Thanks

if you fit Hexes to the front of the cat they take the same wheels.

In the SX2 kit you were supplied with purple ones, but I found these too short and the wheels binder on the hubs. I fitted B44 ones and no problem.

I expect the new V3 Durango will have the hexes as showed at the worlds and last national? These are front and rear

Just wondered to the guys who have run both cars, does the SX3 carry more corner speed than the Durango or is there somthing I'm missing somthing.
I run on polished wood floor which has recently be refinished and has s*it loads of grip, so I had to soften the rear and flaten the rear link to get it to rotate, But i'd rather keep the rear end grip and try and increase front end grip mainly on power steering. any idea's on this??

Hi dave
Did you mean making the Durango look silly at faversham?
Did stu win last week then?
Don't worry we are having all the ramps/boxes/ lumps etc back tonight lol so the cat will break again as per norm eh stu? Watch out for marshals legs tonight lol.
See you tonight buddy's
Durangos rule at faversham. Cheap car..... Fully competitive .....easy to get spares at the meeting.....strong as an oxx for new comers ..... Quick for the top driver like Ed!
Look how many are there , must be durango cars there! Lol
