Yeah I absolutely hate this design. On 1/10 touring cars we used to have the droop screws and of course on 1/8 too.
yeah that was one of the pluses I liked on the Durango till I ran on really old school dirt and the perch the screw would go onto for the front would pack up with dirt. Made a special "shaved" bulkhead just for that reason to remove the perches.
Its a minor thing though but still cool to have, especially with the conditions we race on these days.
