I have 2 complete weekends on mine and have yet to break a part. I have upgraded the ball studs and cups to the ones found on the TLR22. Make sure you get the 10mm long studs if you do!

I ran box stock the first weekend and the car pushed hard and popped ball cups.

I wanted to try the Lutz set up from Reedy for the next weekend but of course the Durango springs are out of stock. I tried to replicate it by using TLR22 springs: orange front and red rear.

I was almost second faster per lap with that set up.

Thanks Randy, I guess that I did not tighten the diff enough. At least I thought I did. Did it, now now binding. Thanks guy.

Thanks Randy. Just a quick question if you don't mind. What's with the diff case breaking and ball ends popping?

possible if you can snap a pic on the rear right side near the gear cover, need to know if the cups does not bind with the gear cover, is yours RM or MM? im about to change mine to AE studs and Losi cups but i think it will rub with the Gear cover.

thanks,

Sorry I cant post a pic: I ran out of 10mm studs and didn't want to risk having a shorter 6mm ball stud rip out of the diff case. The rear links are still Durango.

I'm going to update them ASAP and let you know if they fit. I am running rear motor if that makes a difference for clearance.

Regarding spring rates, according to the TD spring chart, light red front springs are rated at 47gf/mm. However, the package on the light red fronts says 49gf/mm. Black front springs on the chart are rated at 49, yet the package says 47. Does anyone know which is correct?

Here is my V2 from brass.

More holes , and makes the turnbuckles more linear. This is a one off part I made by hand. It's pretty darn close if not perfect.

I run the AE TC5 ballstuds and Losi HD ballcups with no gear cover rub. RM3 ballstuds in the outer holes and no shims. Have had no issues what so ever to date 6 weeks of racing. Sorry, I'm at work and can't do a pic.

With no guess work involved, just get the Lunsford kit. You won't be dissapointed. I liked it so much, that I ordered my 410v3 kit from Barb@ Lunsford yesterday. Stormed has the kit the cheapest. By the time you gather parts, its not cost effective. Plus you get the punisher turnbuckles, they still have the hole for adjusting the ball stud, and everything is Titanium. How can you go wrong?

You can use a caliper to measure the coil thickness and come to a conclusion.
