Right on the box, just take a look at the box on all sides. There is a label thingy with a heading that says "SERIAL" pretty noticeable, that's the number.

Well since I'm new I can't post pics or url's I got the losi truggy fronts tonight, the are similar in lenght to stocks, one end tapers down pretty small that you can't use the stock spring cups, but I did find that the spring cups off a revo 3.3 will fit the bottoms of the losi springs.

what battery are you running that is so heavy?

Since the teknos do fit and there rates are higher, maybe something to look at.

well the way I figured that if I needed to buy batteries for this I might as well get ones that work for everything and with the 7200's they are bulky but I wont need a battery change in the mains
the losi springs have I higher rate then the Durango so I will have to see how they are

cool thanks. Curious on the vehicle, trying to decide if I get this one too or just stick with the ET48 as its more of just a 1 track fun class for me.

i got this because i didn't have 1/8 electronics and at first i wanted a basher but then decided to get back into offroad racing after taking 15yrs off of rc racing so figured i would get a rtr and with a good amount of the dex8t parts that will interchange so at least i have some upgrades available.

So, just a little summary as this is getting a bit ridiculous...

I wrote [email protected] the 30th of april, pinged back the 04th without any answer.
Wrote [email protected] AND [email protected] the 5th
Wrote [email protected] and [email protected] the 6th

Wrote on TeamDurango page for guidance the 6th, posted pics the 7th.

Finally gave up and called hobbico, talked to a guy whom asked me to send pic.
Pics and bill sent the 7th.

Nothing yet, nada, zilch, zippo appart from the automated answers.

that kinda sucks they don't have very good customer support, I thought the whole point of them cutting back on team drivers is to help support the club racer... guess that's not accurate
