Durango DEX210 Thread
I made my own chassis so scratch that and all associated parts off the list. I'm probably not touching the shocks so scratch that. I despise cab forward bodies so scratch that. I may play with the arms but not convinced I need to. The only thing I see that I definitely want is the gear case.

Hard to say w/o seeing the car, but more than likely too much camber. As far as suspension blocks go,there is no "universal best", its more of a try and feel thing for you at your track. Without knowing what the car is doing right or wrong, or where more is needed it tough for us to tell you what to try. Let us know what you want out of your car, and maybe even what blocks you are using etc and we should be able to dial it in a little better..
Durango Hex Mod
I didn't like using the threadlock method. Aftermarket clamps are great, but I thought maybe a DYI mod would do the trick.
Thought I might share it with you guys. You just need part #704046
Test to make sure the screw sits flush in the hex or the wheel can't fit on.
You need to shorten the pin slightly so that the screws can clamp onto the hex and not protrude out. If you can't put the wheel on, either the pin is too long or the holes for the counter sink is not deep enough.
Trim any flashing so that the pin can slide in easily.

very cool..I like the transparent links also.
Sorry Dino, was just giving you a hard time..nice work, i was thinking of doing a similar mod to my alumi hexes but lost interest (lazy) way through the first one, and used a drop of CA instead..lol

A simpler easier fix is use a spot of thread lock on the pin. That's what I did when I got tired of the pin falling out b4 I got clamping hubs. Now I run 12mm hexes so I can use the lighter AKA universal wheel. B4 that I switched the front to truck hubs using cut TC axles and 12mm hexes to use the universal fronts. Mostly cause I hated taking bearings out to clean tires.
