The industry needs to come out with beefier saddle packs, those 550s guzzle the juice.

Sorry, I was away for a couple days. My friend and I have RS Pro's in em. I took mine out for test runs Saturday and it was fine, no heat issues for the entire battery in a tight indoor track. The fan is a bit close and was rubbing the motor leads on the esc so i unplugged it and ran again with similar results of no overheating issues.
I have remounted the fan further from esc and on an angle pointing away from center of car. Once I get onto a larger track I will be trying gearing options. The tight indoor place I went with a 21 tooth pinion to stock spur and it was perfect so i am thinking 22 or 23 should be great on a more open track.
Randy, I am not yet sure why his car is overheating but I am thinking due to the extreme amount of traction on the blue groove track he ran on and gearing he was probably stressing it on bottom end and top end. The cars driveline rolls silky smooth and there isn't any binding so chances are its just a lot of amp draw. He said the motor wasn't too hot but esc was.

New Durango
Finally completed my build this weekend and look forward to racing it wed! Just have to change over to a Micro Rx so it will fit better and clean up the long wiring from components. So looking forward to this car, what a build!

Had the car for one week of racing so far and wondering what is the best way of adjusting all the tierods on the car. It was a pain because everytime i try to adjust they pop off. Has anyone tried different ends or do i need to replace the ends and the rods.

Most local Durango racers in, Kansas City, area replaced tie rods, ball cups and ball studs with any of the better brands. Just built my car this weekend and forgot to order these parts...waiting for them to arrive this week. I agree, getting them adjusted was a pain.
