This is as far as I've gotten at the moment.



The build so far has gone very smoothly. Only issues for me were the slipper pads needed to be filed down a bit on the outside so they could fit in the spur gear comfortably, and the screws they give you to mount the servo were only 6mm, and with rubber grommets on the servo they weren't long enough for me, so I had to use 8mm screws. I would have preferred 10mm screws if I had them though.

Very nice piece of kit though, quality is outstanding.

But only x1 B34, how about exclusive keep your soldering iron at home though

Crap, I might have to pull the trigger on one of these things. Feeling anxious about cramming all the gear in there. I have been scarred by the Shumacher, and the CATs not even that bad.

Mid this month. They want them here before October so people can have them ready for the state titles.

The diffs feel smooth as, I'm not sure 2000 F/R as per the kit setting will be the best choice, but we'll have to wait and see.

how are the shocks? Do the AE springs fit?

What about all the rubber boots, do they look like they will stay on well

the pic on their site has the big brick SP ESC in it with a futaba rx in it so with a smaller esc and micro rx there wont be a problem.

I am looking fwd to seeing just how neat I can get it wired up

Damm, I was the one that started this thread and have convinced several people to buy it and now there available I am strapped for cash and cant afford one, there must be something I can sell for some cash....

What a dilemma!! I need to spend money on the B44 to get ready for the state titles but I would much prefer to use that money towards the Durango...
