Judging by the pics they are running front and rear Durango diffs. The shorty thing must be a typo

Thought I would resurrect this thread rather than starting a new. I've just converted my ZX5 SP to a DB4 using a chassis I bought off here. Had to collect a few FS parts as the conversion isn't really designed for the original ZX5 and I've also made some mods due to the doner car. Firstly I've mounted the servo in the standard ZX5 position on the right of the chassis, this is mainly because I'm using an original rack but also it mimics the layout the kyosho drivers are using on the ZX6. Secondly I'm using the original front bevel gear to the front diff, this has meant modifying the front prop shaft but it will enable me to use a one way which I'm interested to try.

Looking forward to doing some testing soon and running it competitively next year
