Quick background, coming from an AE B4 and Academy GV2 background as far as handling goes (B4 loads of steering, Academy steering close + lots of grip + durability), anyway, I like a car with a lot of steering But I want to try something different than what AE is offering and hopefully better durability with metric hardware. Que the Durango.

So, for a guy like me, here is what I want to ask you guys:

- Does the durango use all metric hardware
- What exactly are the must have upgrades for the vehicle
- How is performance on indoor carpet or similar?
- Are shorty lipos drop in, or do you need special hardware to mount and use?
- Can you use other brand wheels, or only durango style wheels?
- What mid motor configuration is the best?
- Are the shocks *big bore*?
- Planning on running 8.5 mod or 17.5 blinky, what spurs should I pickup for this?
- Where does the car shine?
- Where does it suck?


Thank you before hand. this will be a big change for me as I pretty much always defaulted to an AE car when in doubt, and I have heard some advice against getting the dex210 but the other option is out there on price (RB6) and other than the JRXS Pros I picked up, I am having a hard time picking up a losi.

Are you following me?.. Welcome....
