Today at Broxtowe F345's I ran with 10,000f and 7,000r. But we think that it could do with being harder.
Heating wise, no problems here. Was a hot day too and the motor and speedo came of fine. We've drilled holes in the shell where the scoops are above the motor and speedo, and we've had no problems. I threadlocked the grub as a rule from the D4/Cyber as they do tend to work loose. So not had any probs there. Was really impressed by the car as a whole, and the way it handle is just awesome. My talent ran out after R1 today so didn't give it the showing that it should have had. But I can't wait to get some more running in with it. |

Did someone already mention this? Craig Collinson had the 1 degree hubs on his car today - but seemed to have LESS toe-in. It seems the L1 should be on the right hand side of the car to add 1 degree (to make 4). If it's on the left it reduces the toe angle to 2 degrees, and viceversa for the R1 hub.

st ives has a clay surface with med grip - starting to get a good blue groove on it.
I tried 20k/10k 10k/10k 5k/1k All worked well, 10k/10k was probably the best, the 1k in the rear was a little light as the track has so much grip. will be trying 10k/5k next time out |

motor cleaner or something?

For what its worth, back in my rallycross days we just used to kitchen towel all the oil out. Any that remains after a good attacking with the 'Bounty' isnt going to effect the diff once you put new oil in, and brake cleaner will adversely affect the o-rings inside the diff anyways.
Just out of interest, is there any form of gasket/big o-ring sealing the diff gears to the diff?

To be honest I've not weighed them. But the car as a whole didn't feel any heavier than a pred. So the whole car is pretty spot on with any other car weight wise.
Duration was fine anyway, only taking 2400-2600 out of my Lipo's. Diff oil is cleaned out using kitchen towel, as Cosie said. |

A ball diff of same length is 38g.
A Durango diff is 50g. Here in pics : http://www.mini-zone.com/forum/viewt...p=54707#p54707 |

Just a small question. I am the one and only owner of a Durango so far in Sweden and don't have anybody else's car to compare to. It is more noisy than other 4wds, right? Because of the metal gears. Just that I don't start searching for things that are actually normal for this sweet sweet ride.

I found that a lot of the noise was the stones etc hitting the alloy chassis.
Actually made more noise that the car itself. |
