I'll try and clear a couple of issues up on here:
1. Shocks shafts are correct in the kit. Just make sure you have fitted the rubber bumpstop onto the shock shaft before you fit the rod end.. Also once the spring perch is on there the piston doesn't break the top of the body. We've had no issues throughout testing with shocks sticking at full compression. As for the option part page, the 52mm shaft shouldn't be listed there. I'll get it removed today. It's also in the manual... 2. Diff - Circlip. It's best to install the circlip with some good Circlip pliers. It can be rendered useless if you try and force it in... A few tips here to help ensure your diff is built correctly. a. There are two sides to the clip a flat side and a rounded side. When you install the circlip keep the 'flat' side facing you this way when under pressure from the thrust race the contact faces between the clip and the diff ring are the flat ones. b. One the circlip is installed. Try to open it out a little either with the circlip pliers you just installed it with. Or insert a large flat blade screw driver between the open ends of the circlip and give the screwdriver a twist, this will open the circlip back out a little removing any 'shrinkage' of the clip on installation. c. Make sure you put in the diff screw and T-nut in the correct sides. It builds differently to other diffs out there. Don't just build it 'the way you have been building ball diffs for 20 odd years'. 3. Breakages. Shock Towers These are always hard ones to justify... Sometimes when you break something you only see the end result of part that has already been weakened. We broke towers in testing and in racing, but TBH they were justified. We have towers from the production batch and the mix is good. Steering. Honestly, we never saw a broken one of these during testing, it must have been a really hefty hit.. We even did some testing at Coventry so we know what to expect from the track.

Super feel to the car BTW. I used Craig's setup for the National at Southport.

i cant find it in the manual but what should the shock lengths be?
Run my dex210 yesterday for the first time, i had a couple of issues with the diff during the build and wasnt 100% happy with it, but after its first run all was good, re adjusted the diff again and was faultless all day. im very happy with my frst 2wd buggy Also a quick question for you setup experts out there: how do you get more on power steering other than changing tyres as i only have one set of front wheels at the mo! with stagged ribs fitted. thanks |

Could tryraising rear inner camber link, lower steering spindle, soften front end, or lengthen front camber link

As long as you can get the amount of droop that you want when using those option shock shafts, you can use them no problem.

more caster will give you more on-power steering (but reduce turn-in) also you could try playing with the trailing axle amount... its a really simple change that should have an effect on the way the car enters and exits turns

Yes, pretty much, but with it counting on a 'crumpled' rubber it could be a less consistent bump stop amount. it might be worth checking and adding some external spacers to compensate if required.

Forums are great for 'chat' about products, but if you really need an answer to a question or a query direct communication is the best way. posts in forums are so easy to miss, it just happens that I saw this one as I'm actively looking on this thread today.

Ohhhh, so there's two of you with not alot on!!
Back on thread.... car is really good, great build and good basic set up included. Found the car needed a few runs to loosen up suspension, as it was pants in the morning dampness when new. As the day went on it was much better than my limited skills.

Where did you test the car? Stotfold? Any particular tips from the setup master? Cheers, Mike |

A big thanks to Chris and Adam for clearing up these things, excellent support from Durango.
Regarding the shafts, I did not try with the spring retainer on, but I want to change oil any way so if I get the chance I will do it tonight and have a look. But I did have the end screwed on fully with the bump stop fitted. On thing that is bothering me is on the manual, no where it mentions to fit a screw into the last rear hole on the side pods. I know using RM that the pod is used to scure the brace from the top but not from underneath. I know I could just fit a M3x6 cs screw, just wanted to know if any one else has noticed this or weather you shouldn't fit a screw there.

Also in light of limited wheels, i managed to fit tamiya 201 wheels on the front by shimming out the excess space on the axle (these wheels take 5x10 bearings) and to fit pin drive wheels on the back by using a 3/16 x 3/8 bearing (which is a RC10 B4 front wheel bearing and a perfect fit) and a split pin.

http://www.team-durango.com/pdf/manu...210-manual.pdf Jon - glad to see your enjoying the car so far, yes, it might be a bit tight initially, but it should bed into 'perfect' instead of going sloppy. Jon & Adam - HA! you guys are funny!
