Most of my experiences are with tuning SC trucks and not buggys. So i'm not really sure what areas I should adjust to increase my rear grip as it is sliding out in the corners.

Right now im using this set up: http://www.petitrc.com/setup/durango/setupdex410/DEX410_HupoHonigl_ElectroChamps2011/index.html

(Except with stock Diff Oil)

thanks ;)

What track/ surface are you running on?

Try a softer rear end (springs, shock oil).

Are you loosing the rear end turning into the corner, or when you get on the power coming out?

What tyres and (as above) what surface?
That setup up for loose dirt so I'd guess thats what you are racing on?

If its the 410 & not the R you are running try changing the rear brace to plastic & the alloy side pods to plastic?? (one of the cheapest mods on the 410,around £15)

If that's the setup you are running, remove the rear sway bar.

the extra 1 degree hubs can also help

the track is a loose dirt track and the temp on average here when we race is around 20-25C (68-77F.)

Its a DEX410R so im running a plastic rear brace and plastic side pods. im running M3 calibers,


And RC John the only difference from that set-up is I am running no sway bars front or rear, since its a DEX410R and i have no replaced anything.

@Big G, Are these what you are talking about? http://www.team-durango.com/part-info.php?partNo=TD330007

That setup you are copying is using the 1 degree rear hub.

I've never liked Calibers on any track I've tried. Is that what everyone is running at your track? Have you tried Goosebumps?

Find out what tires are the best for your track
Then, using this setup, more rear grip can be obtained by
Moving front shocks to outer on wishbone
Moving rear shocks to inner on wishbone
Change rear brace to 2 instead of 4

Hope this helps!

the extra hubs come in the DEX410 kit, but yes. Those are the ones. :)
