Durango DEX210 Thread

I'm wondering about shock oils and am currently using the 4-hole pistons (I think that's 1.3 and 1.2) with losi oils anywhere in the range of 25 to 37.5. It's a high-speed, medium-traction indoor clay track that's kinda bumpy with a few big jumps. Currently running 30wt oil front and back.
Any thoughts on what others are currently using for oils? I'm running RM with a full stick battery pack.

gear diff
I have a gear diff from the second batch. filled with durango 1000cst.
It does feel smooth but at the same time it feels a bit to tight/heavy.
Is it because I use the 2 copper shims from the ball diff on each side? or do I need lighter diff oil ?
I only ran 1 raceday ( 6 heats of 6 minutes ). Do I need to give it some time? maybe after a few packs ?
any thoughts ?

There will be some that disagree with this but after talking to a few 210 "fast" guys at the nats and my own experience just use AE black grease and only enough to lubricate. it will not "dif " out and responds much better than the thicker stuff. which to me made the car darty and it wanted to follow the track ie if the track was uneven the car would go with the track instead of straight. went to a light grease and it all went away. maybe on carpet or turf you could go up if you need to.

so just the AE black grease "in" the diff ??
By the way I love that grease, use it for almost everything
oh and this is where I race. hardpacked dirt, mostly low/mid grip

edit:
Or is it maybe , that I used O-rings from Tresrey # TYS246 red o-rings
when installing those O-rings they were slightly to big, but I got them to fit and put the e-clip in the groove with a little force. Could they couse such a drag ?

Not sure about the K ones but I know the tamiya ones fit like a glove. Before guys were upgrading to the alum block I was handing them out like candy on Halloween! Plus they have a nice coating on them that makes them "oh so smooth"

Hey fellas, got any setups you would recommend for a med-high bite indoor clay tracks like WCRC, OCRC, or any other tracks with similar grip characteristics? Since the 210 has a good amount of rear grip, I'm looking for a setup that will provide me with plenty of steering. I was hoping to try MM but it seems like the majority of the setups online use RM3 or 4 and only saw one with MM3(Lutz) for indoor clay.
I'm going to get my 210 soon and need a great baseline setup. Thanks.
Also, where are you guys getting tapered pistons from: GHEA, RC Shox, Oople,etc? What should I use front/rear: 1.2,1.3,or 1.4 & 2,3,4 hole?
