Show me your Durango's

[carlin]

Hi Guys,

Well mine is now built just waiting for my electrics & lipos to turn up.
Not got bodyshell done yet waiting for my man G to get it done so will update pics soon

The car was so easy to build wasnt any trouble at all.

But here are few pics anyway

[GRIFF55]

omg!!! what are those purple washers on the servo!!!!!!

Very nice mate, i'm only kidding:thumbsup:

[Marvin]

You don't really like your Durango do you? What with the Kyosho towel and things.

You will give it to me!

[stuhurley]

is there a reason you havent put the boots on either the drive shaft or shocks?

[bondy]

it cos he drives that fast he dont want anything flapping around causing drag ! :drool:

" well fast between crashes anyhow :thumbsup:"

[carlin]

Lol cheers Bondy.

No i havent put them on cause i wont be running outdoor.
Plus boots on the shocks can sometimes restrict the travel
I've always done this with 1/8th rallyx, i dont use the boots until winter comes.

LOL well if i had Durango pit towel that wiould be thie instead lol :woot:

You can have Kyosho pit towel if you like :thumbsup:

[jono83]

Why wont you be running it outdoor??

[jimmy]

Here's mine, YungTong Lipos, Tekin RS sensored ESC and 6.5 motor, full size ace servo, MRT ptx transponder and sanwa 2.4gig receiver.


I kept the battery leads longer than I really needed so I can also try nimh cells in the car.

Very nice Jimmy! I like alot! Are you going to do one of your reviews on the car?

[GRIFF55]

nice install there Jim!!!
Rich, no problem mate, what colour do you want it:p:lol:

[DCM]

Jimmy, nice gear you got in there, to give you more clearance on the motor connections, you can solder the wires on the underside of the motor tabs, give you a few extra mm of clearance.

[jimmy]

Very nice Jimmy! I like alot! Are you going to do one of your reviews on the car?

review coming soon yes:thumbsup:

Dcm, the photos make the tab look a lot closer to the shaft but really theres already enough room there.

Hi Jimmy,

Have you run the Tekin RS before?
What do ppl think abut these
I've got one coming for my Durango too.

[B44&501xRacerEX]

Looks like he bit the bullet and got him one. Nice setup Jimmy.
Tekin esc's are so darn smooth, you'll like it.

[jimmy]

Just finished painting it and took it out into the garden for some action shots. I didn't get to make the stickers yet but I didnt want to miss the nice sun light. I went back to my purple review paint scheme, but maybe with a little less purple (by accident)



http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/misc/rango04.jpg
http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/misc/rango3.jpg

It was TOTALLY covered in dust inside and out after this as you can imagine - a quick blow with the compressor and it's as good as new! Rubber covers are ace!

[Rich D]

Looks awesome Jim :wub - your not a bad hand with the airbrush !

Are you racing it at Worksop ?

[derek5]

hi all, i'm from hong kong~
this is mine DEX410

[jimmy]

Haha, thanks rich, yeah I might be doing. We'll see :)
Batley tomorrow is its first outing.

Hey Derek, good choice for the ESC :thumbsup: What receiver are you using? I wish I was using a tiny Spektrum one, but the sanwa fits ok. I thought I might have to lay it on the side like you've done but it just fit with the ESC 90degrees round from how you have it.

There's actually a decent amount of room for electrics as long as you use your head and spend a bit of time on the install.

looks like a mrs oople colour scheme, is vicky star driving it?

[jimmy]

Haha, no I lied about the Garden bit - we drove out to a disused quarry for the photos. I wish I had such a proving ground in my garden! haha

No this is the old review colours all my cars had - I wouldn't let vicky drive this wonderous lovely buggy - not unless it was around a track made of foam.:thumbsup:

[Kifogrande]

I'm loving that shell!

Car don't look too shabby either!:thumbsup:

hi Jimmy, i'm using Futaba R603FS. you are right, it take me a bit of time to install all of these, it is really quite limit to choose the esc and receiver...
when i start to install the esc, i choose the LRP SXX TC, but i cannot manage the cable and it seem quite big becuase i'm using Futaba receiver....
anyway, thanks for your comment~

[andys]

Jimmy.

Looking forward to giving that beautiful looking car of your a run round batley tomorrow :)

Andy.

[telboy]

Ok, a question for y'all.

I've just wired mine up and I'm finding space very limited.

Running a nosram istc and spectrum micro receiver. Now, I'm struggling for somewhere to mount the transponder (standard size).
I've currently had to stand the receiver up and mount the transponder onto its belly.
So the transponder is stood upright.
Do they still work like this?

I can see I'm going to lose some sleep over this one. lol

[jimmy]

Don't lose too much sleep Tel! :thumbsup:
http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/euros2009/day5/martin/OOP_2345.jpg

Martin Achter made a real carbon fibre case for his AMB PT - and he's got it sitting upright. He says he's had no problems with counting (we were actually discussing the cf case)


I've just printed some chrome stickers and stickered the car up now - man, this thing looks sexy as hell! I really want another one just to stick on a shelf :)

Hi were did u put the cap i dont see it

[JohnM]

If it's anything like mine, the cap is between the speedo and the motor, under the centre=front drive shaft.

[GRIFF55]

mine too, and a pt!

[JohnM]

I thought about putting the PT down there, but was worried that it might not get a signal through the metal chassis, have you had any probs with that Griff?

[jimmy]

I put my PTX between the motor and esc - vertical also (tho there was room to mount it flat) and no problems for me.

[mark christopher]

ive run bout all forms of ic car and they have alloy chassis, not a problem for pt on alloy chassis

[JohnM]

Cool, looks like I'm for a bit of rewiring then, don't reall like it sitting on it's side, looks messy.

Have you put the PT on top just looks different.

Are those the Intell Lipo's you have in the car 4200???
I've got some coming sometime today thats all.

Andy,

A quick question, who painted your shell ?
I'm a yellow fan.

Cheers,
Erik

[GRIFF55]

I did it quickly, but mikovic has a few of mine now;)

[Dunc]

Looks like he has a Spektrum micro receiver sat underneath the front prop shaft (i.e. between the ESC and motor).

I think you're right about the batteries.

spektrum rx is under the centre drive shaft.

amb txponder is in car - just the lrp switch on top of it.

yep those are the 4200IP cells. they fit nicely. just a little bit of foam required down one side to stop them moving

Here are some pics from the Durango's debut here in Sydney at the St Ives club in Australia. Blue car is Michael Harlow and "Gelato" is Ben Panic's. Unfortunately - I havent finished building mine yet - but I am sure inspired to make time now!!

The first three pics are of Michael's FIRST time on the tripple.......this car inspires confidence to be sure!! :nod:

Other pics are general "air time" and race shots. I have a tonne of them - these are uneditied - so please excuse! Some are grainy because I photograph "raw" and the resizing from the picture host distorts them terribly!

Hope you enjoy!

Awesome stuff! man that track has changed so much in less than a year! barely recognise it!

[RETRO R/C]

Hey Jimmy,

As you know mate - I am WAYYYYYYY oldschool - and it took a long time for me to just accept that they were going to pull the track down and rebuild after all those years. :cry::cry:

DAMNNNNN - what an awesome track this is to drive though! :thumbsup: Extremely challenging to get consistent laps, as the jumps, step ups and other tricky challenges on the track really keep you on your toes.

Having said that - I did run around my MIP RC10 legend and my SWB Optima Mid and they went very well too. Actually - I fitted the Mid with 10.5 and the thing would not be far of competitive! LOLOL

The cars on the tripple are getting at least 10 to 12 feet of air in modified class.......just increadible what we put these cars through.

Cheers

Darryn

your right so would i remember what happend to sams durango last week at batley the front optional shaft came off and he even had tape wrapped round it :o

[jimmy]

Was he running the optional bits at the time? I just asumed it was the pin coming loose. He lost the centre part of the CVD - lost, presumed eaten by the grass. I did see the alloy driveshafts on his table at some point during the day - very worn, so stick with the steel ones I think is the best option. Are you gonna race this weekend at Batley vinny? If you need any help with your car come over and I will take a look - I'm also pitting for my friend but I'll happily take a look and make sure your car is working as it should / help with the setup.

Racing starts about 11am, best get there a little before tho so you can actually book in :thumbsup: Finishes about 4-5pm - not entirely sure tbh, depends on how many turn up but the last couple of weeks there have been 5 rounds and a final, so plenty of racing for your cash.

Here is mine. Had to try how it looked with a painted red wing so I took an Azarachi to try with. Haven't decided yet if the original is going to get paint or not. The wheels are from my TRF 511 but it is going to be white rims in the future.

[bigred5765]

Heres mine

i have something that would look good on that to:woot:

[samd]

It was my durango that popped its pin. The option driveshafts i got are not up to much. The grub screws were thread locked and tight and the front came out (first meeting) so i moved to the spare holes and put some tape round and it came out again (second meeting) . I drilled one of the chewed holes out to take a MRP pin but the pins too big for the cylinder. Anyway, i checked the rear driveshaft which hadn't come out and the holes are well stretched, after about 8 races, ive PMed Adam about it - no problems after putting the steel kit ones in.

I have not got a new durango yet...cause i am a little concerned that the diffs are a little heavy for the indoor stock racing that i do.....it makes a difference to the punch which i require (lots)
fine for proper mod outside racing where power isnt an issue and you drive smoothly not banging and jabbing the throttle like we have to at faversham...its a different game entirely as you know Dave

hhaaha, good on em!!! He has done well to put up with your lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rebelrc]

Can anyone help me out? looking at your diffs is there a way to remove 15g from each?
i know it will ultimately weaken them but it only going to run stock powered
or do you think the serpent s400 ball diffs will fit?
many thanks:)

sepent s400 is belt drive, not shaft.so no way a staght swap, trick on the s400 gear diff was remove one shaft and set of small gears, doubt very much that will save much weight tho. The heavey part is the main crown wheel, but thats been worked on to make as light as possible with out sacrificing durability.


Can anyone help me out? looking at your diffs is there a way to remove 15g from each?
i know it will ultimately weaken them but it only going to run stock powered
or do you think the serpent s400 ball diffs will fit?
many thanks:)

[Rebelrc]

Cheers Mark
i will have to make some new diffs then
thanks again;)

Any Durango Action Shots from Sunday ?????

[Alex H]

Ran mine for the first time today at our new track. It is under construction still so never mind the lack of jumps. The snow is almost here so it has to wait. Very happy with the car. Ran it out of the box without any additional weights. Ran with minispikes on and they worked superbly. Just love this car. Have never raced 4wd before, only a lot of 2wd.

I've seen your new Shell ... It LOOKS SIC !!! :drool:
Any chance you want to share it with the rest of us ????

[Tobias]

It was my durango that popped its pin. The option driveshafts i got are not up to much. The grub screws were thread locked and tight and the front came out (first meeting) so i moved to the spare holes and put some tape round and it came out again (second meeting) . I drilled one of the chewed holes out to take a MRP pin but the pins too big for the cylinder. Anyway, i checked the rear driveshaft which hadn't come out and the holes are well stretched, after about 8 races, ive PMed Adam about it - no problems after putting the steel kit ones in.

I have the same problem with this pins. I think they are too soft - is there a fix for this problem already ?

[mark christopher]

run the steel cvd's!

[Tobias]

run the steel cvd's!

Where can I get these CVDs ?

[mark christopher]

in the kit

[Tobias]

Oh, sorry - I use the kit CVDs but the pins come out over and over

[steel]

i had this problem use 2 grub screws (one either side) with threadlock and shrink wrap them problem solved;)

[mikeyscott]

Is that a B4 set-up station?

[rcardoso]

It´s an M-Racing setup system I bought for mine b44.
It´s universal for 1/10 buggies I think.

[DaSloth]

have you tried mounting the shell with that electrics install yet? I have that receiver and when i mounted the shall, it was pushing out to the side when it was mounted similarly to yours. I ended up standing up the receiver and moving it in a bit so it didnt overlap the side "pod."

[rcardoso]

Yes it push a little. Its just 1mm that the receiver has to move to the middle of the car, you can cut the antena suport a little and move the receiver to the inside.

What did you add on you ballcups ???? & why ???

[GSXR1000]

Read somewhere that the tie rods had a tendency to get pushed into the ballcups in the event of a crash - so I made some ally tubes that have a thight push-fit on the ball cups; reasoning being that the soft plastic of the ball cups might not open up and the threads in the plastic might hold - no idea if it'll work :lol:

Seems reasonably sound. Similar to the ali sleeve on a plastic, light weight outdrive.
Looks good. Is it a standard size tube, or did you need to modify the inside diameter?

[GSXR1000]

I began with 5.9 inner diameter sleeves but on some of the ball cups they were too thight - ended up with 6mm - I guess most commercially available stuff is 6.1 inner diameter because they are meant to fit over an 6mm axle

Funny, Chris! Google that, and see how many porn sites pop up! :o

[offroadrc]

i'am gonna get mine saturday, are there thinks to watch out for when building? like the diffs or i see that you are having heatshrink on the shafts. thanks

[samd]

Heatshrink all the driveshaft pins also put a gubscrew in from both sides.
Use thread lock on everything - especially the screw that holds the rear of the slipper assembly on, or it will drop off and you will lose the pin (will make sense when you build it!).
Plenty of grease on the x seals in the diffs and only fill with oil up to the top of the shafts or they will leak. Make sure you tap the crown wheels all the way down or the diff will bind.
Swap all the wheel pins, they snap.
If you dont use the boots, put the plastic boot holders over the outdrives to act as savers - ive seen one break without these on.
Use someones shock setup from the setups page, if you use the kit settings they are well over damped.

Some screws are in the wrong bags!

Think thats it!

[Pedros20]

Here's mine all finished, Looks cool as F!

I know i was a bit worried about the diff weight but when i put it on the track on wed.....all was forgiven and worries forgot....it was great...straight out the box...what a car:wub

[MHeadling]

Very nice Scott! :thumbsup:

So are you going to come out and play on Sunday at Faversham?

[Rebelrc]

Thanks ...Not sure yet...depends on the weather...if not i will see you wed

Here's a pic of mine 'mid-fiddle'.

Currently switching the servo and ESC so i'll post a pic on the internals on the other thread soon :D

I bought the bodyshell off of a chap on this very site. Nice :drool:


Is this the only DEX410 in Scotland ?

[bigred5765]

;)hey bigred you were right, because the diffs put the power down more efficently they do work better than ball dif, i know it doesnt seem faster but it really is,how did you know that even though you or your son dont drive one,
it because i have seen them drive on loose surfaces scott, thanks for the apoligy lol:woot::p

ill get my coat,

[Rebelrc]

Yeah cheers mate (big red) ran for the first time today with the 13.5 indoors in it and it was promising:)
apologies mate and to durango for doubting!
Oh and many thanks to faversham for an excellent meeting yet again ...first class

p.s massive thanks to mark Headling for sorting out some new hubs for my old Durango and cleaning it up a bit out of pity:D

[bigred5765]

lol.how much of the surface is slippy there?

[Rebelrc]

All, apart from the carpet on the jumps...

[James]

Pedros20, You've got incorrect upper shock pivots on - a front and a rear on the front and vice versa, the longer ones should be on the rear.
I know i did the same thing when i built mine :wtf:

[GRIFF55]

I think its the done thing on the build James:lol: I've told so many people about this on their cars. Is yours a shelfer or a runner mate?

[James]

Runner, used it twice in anger now, won at Bridgeford yesterday, 2nd at Broxtowe the previous week so its going pretty well :D. Ill be running it at the players also.....

[Shadow]

Just finished mine...

All I have to do now is figure out where my personal transponder go...:eh?:

It's my first offroad build, normally a TC driver, so be gentle... :D

[offroadrc]

nice, that's a small receiver.

[bondy]

I went one step further and rewired my servo and speedo receiver leads to the exact length required ! not to be done by all but a much neater install
