I have the heavy-duty long ones on the way, I'll have them either today or tomorrow.

Currently HPI and AE TC5 ball studs have a 3mm metric thread and will fit the Durango holes

I have plenty of Kyosho cups to try and I have some Schumacher studs as well, so I'll let you in on my findings. One of the local guys is running Losi cups and Schumacher studs last I remember though.

About 1/4 to 1/3 of the bottom.... It still scrubs a little, but it's a lot better than it was. Well see tonight!

I had a chance to do some tuning last night and this car is amazing. Went from stock to black springs all the way around with Losi 45wt/37.5wt front and rear and it was pretty dialed, thanks Raul!

The harder you push, the harder it digs. The one thing I did notice is that ride height makes a HUGE difference with this car.

your welcome....

Yes, at the advice of one of the local racers (Raul who posted above). Works quite well on a hard-packed and short technical course. I can drive it smoothly, but it responds much better to being manhandled when stiff. Once I spend some more time with it I will definitely try a softer setup and see which I like better.

I wouldn't say they are taking over the track, per say.
