I have a question on drilling for vented setup.

I know i have to drill the bleeder hole. What i am confused about is where to drill the vent? Does the hole go out the bleeder for emulsion or does it go straight up into the cap?

Thanks so much!

I thought that made the most sense, because i suppose you could close it up if you wanted with a screw for non vented. The manual isnt super clear about it though.

Thanks!

Does anyone have any tips on how to free up the aluminum pivot balls for the sway bar assembly? My new ones are pretty stiff

Just do what the heli guys do and put the pivot ball In a drill chuck and blip the drill a few times while holding the ball link stationary as to spin the ball inside the end a few times. Be careful not to over do it though as it will rapidly heat and can over melt the plastic making it to loose permently. It works awesome though and it beats doing the pinch method with pliers because it perfectly seat the ball in the exact shape it needs. Just make quick fast blips, do not keep spinning it.

Here I found a video ball link sizing

Thanks for the spring and pinion recommendations.

I am putting the kit together now. Don't know if I'll have it ready for this weekend but I'm not going to rush it.

I take it as most people are using a 17-19t pinion gear?

I will be using a turnigy 4850kv 4 pole motor with Hobbywing XERUN SCT PRO Brushless Sensored ESC 120a so I should get something similar for the pinion gear?

also, my shocks seems to be leaking oil. the threaded areas are coated with a thin layer of oil. any recommended brands/viscosity to refill it?

Turnbuckles

Do the Team Durango turnbuckles have to be modified or are they a direct fit to the sct410.3?

The 4000kv motors run around a 17 or 18t. I ran on big outdoor track and an 18 wasn't necessary with my old motor which was a 4150kv. I now run a 4400kv with a 15t. I temped it at 152 last race and that's with a motor fan.

Speed is fine but not really enough torque IMO. I would want 200+on the torque for this truck, the ones I run are over 400, overkill yes but..........
