Guys, think I'm experiencing the dreaded c clip issue. Just completed my build and was running the buggy around on the carpet with very light throttle and with the diff feeling snug and the slipper tightened down it still unloads for a while before taking off under power, off the bench seems fine but under load it slips. When I assembled it I forgot to grab snap ring pliers from work so just used the tools that I had which bent the snap ring a bit, I straightened it out and installed it but wondering if thats the culprit. Where is your guys slipper nut in relation to the threads on the shaft after a rebuild? Thanks

The sale that Hobbico/Great Planes was having is over, so the price is back to normal. I got mine last night w/free tshirt, imperial front axles, and DEX410 rear wheel cones for $201 shipped after using a $50 off coupon code.
Just in time..
That being said, what's a recommended starting setup for a dusty, bumpy, blown out 1/8th scale track? I looked at setups on the Durango site, but they don't really give a description of the track conditions unless you download and open each setup sheet.

I have been trying to take the roll out of the rear. It rolls then spins. Ive been trying to calm it down. Does the hevy weight oil up front help. I have 40 up front with the light brown springs and 1.3 4 hole pistons and I have 21 grams up front and I cant get it down to ride height. I to have been using this set up with some tweeks. I been trying to get high roll center in the rear. My links are all the way out and shocks lay down all the way. Tried putting 4 mm under the inner ball studs too.

Wow. 27.5 in the rear? Any weight in the front or rear? Does the rear end roll?

But I believe you are going in the right direction. Just the wrong terminology.

It's pretty sturdy stock, I would get the dime 20 chassis (+8), ti shock shafts, a few sets of springs, I'm running 14 grams of weight behind the servo (stick on) and my buggy is dialed..me not so much but the Durango is freakin awesome! Best thing I ever did was putting the +8 chassis on it..

Thanks for posting set up sheets guys. This really helps, but man the set ups are all over the place. Just goes to show how adjustable this buggy is. My set up is nowhere near the recent posts.
Question. The front steering rack has three sets of holes. I have the ball studs mounted in the center holes. What does mounting them forward or back do to the steering?
The reason i ask is because on my radio i am running a bit of negative expo in the steering to calm things down a bit, and wondered if i could do the same thing using another steering rack position.
