good! I was getting used to the track and the car but I went faster every round. I was in a low qualifier because I race north west now - so I was having to lap some cars and they weren't making it easy. I won all my qualifiers and qualified C6 - I think there were 8 heats of 4WD. I wasn't over joyed and wanted the B final but there was a lot of good racing and the times were close. Had the usual mare in the final - ended up last but fought back to the leaders and finished 3rd, 2 seconds behind the winner. The car was ace - there were some 501X drivers there (and plenty of others) who were shocked how good it was. Stu Wood took a little video of one of the qualifiers so I'll put that up as soon as I can find the lead for the camera.  but yeah, over all the track was awesome and really fun to drive - the 'hop ups' I had on the car certainly helped - shocks - slipper - one way diff. I was also running the new 501X/DB01 front wheels for the first time - the white ones. They are a really tight fit on the hexes - indeed you can't even put them on the hex by hand. I had to carefully tighten the nut in order to push the wheel on - so the hex is a lot tighter and less prone to stripping out with a one-way diff, which I've experienced a few times with the 501X and also happened at Southport last weekend on the Durga.

Gearing
Anybody done a gear chart yet? I notice that the kit spur/pulley combo (91T/37T) is different to the 501X so wasn't sure how to interpret the chart thats already been posted. Is the 87T spur recommended?

I am using the 91T spur - I am not sure if the 96 will fit the Durga so I didn't indicate that it does on the chart - if someone can confirm it does then I'll change the chart. The chart is on this page: http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/cars/501x/ edit: oop, thanks Aaron- you're too quick for me!

The rear shocks will likely be too long - you can put spacers inside to limit droop but I'm not certain they will fully compress. They are nice shocks but the pistons supplied aren't a big improvement on the kit shocks - I found it hard to get the desired damping.
Just for werner - I put up a little clip of the Durga review car in action yesterday at York indoor regional. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaTxt7nUt2I

The car really does perform just as well as cars that cost over 4 times the price, it was going really well yesterday on our simple track

Mine Durga not going very well for me, the rear arm keeps on popin out it happened last week and this week as well although i already put shims in it to make it stronger, i was starting 2nd in the final and soon as the race starts someone just hit at the back of my durga then the whole thing poped out. i broke one of the black plastic ball connector thing that link with the suspension arm. Any have any idea how to slove this problem?

once the alloy rear suspension mounts are out from 3Racing, that will solve it Eddie.
501X shocks, you need to put at least 3mm of limiters in the rear shocks to stop popping of rear driveshafts.

Thought I would post a piccy of my Durga along side my Touring car....
It has the Titanium screws, carbon shock towers, front one way and slipper clutch. Waiting for the postman to deliver the CVD's, still trying to source some 501X dampers  so have fitted my DF03 ones as a temporary measure for now.

I put some 501X cvd's on the rear (ok, they are yeah racing ones) and on full droop, the cvd's would pop out of the outdrive.

oh right, I am using the dogbones all round still and theres plenty (and plenty) of room left. I haven't tried the 501X CVD's on the Durga, but I have tried them on the 501X (jokes!)
I wonder if the shafts you mention are actually a bit short? Maybe I will try the 501X ones on my Durga if I find the time, just to make sure.

I run my 501x shocks and cvds on my durga and as DCM said, at the rear, if you use the middle hole in the suspension arm - then you do need to add some internal spacers.
I am running mine at 2.5mm inside the rear shocks but only 0.5mm in the front.
