I am slowly building an arsenal of parts because no one stocks them in my area. I started to accumulate, o-rings, washers, nuts, shock parts, shafts, hinge pins, hubs, bearings. May not need them but if they break you cant use parts from other brands except maybe bearings and screws and nuts.

I bought the Avid spring set front and rear. Running red and red, or yellow front, red rear. 4 hole pistons, 1.3mm.
Check with Joe at the Team Terribles store in Mesa. He just got in all the Durango parts for every kit. And thanks for the tips!

Whats Jörn using for turnbuckles and cups?
Lunsford maybe?



Some tips.
Tresrey have a camber mount that can be used if the housing breaks and has more adjustability

Use alu spacer/washer if you have to on that mount and fill the other hole with a grubscrew.
The alu washer will help with not crushing and abeling the stud to move same with the filled hole.

Also look at how he mounts his inner steering ball cup. Further in.... This must reduce that pesky wiggle wheel at full steering lock? Those look like V1 cups.

Mounting the links further inboard is going to change the steering in a few ways. Jorn is likely testing a few new parts on his car, that's his job

Those are AE turnbuckles, and look like either sc10 4x4 ballcups or JC ballcups with holes drilled in them for ballstud access.

Yes, its a custom +8mm alloy chassis that utilized the plastic side pods from the original car. That also allows the use of aftermarket bodies. Only 8racing and Tresrey make a carbon version of that +8mm chassis. I am hoping an alloy +8mm version comes out soon and does not cost twice as much as an 1/8th scale chassis....

The carbon version is no longer available.

We were having some issues with the +8 cf chassis- after a few months of use Cush broke one, then another team driver did as well in the same place. Cush then broke his replacement chassis on the first raceday with it. Rather than sell something with potential issues the product was pulled until either the issue is resolved or a better replacement option is available. There was no disputing that the +8 chassis was beneficial in most applications (Cush still prefers the short car on tight tracks), but we simply couldn't continue to offer something that was found to be flawed.
