FYI - the Thunder Power 45C saddle packs do not fit the DEX410. I have to send mine back to amainhobbies and switch for the ProTek set. Oh well, it will save me $20.

I should have checked the height before I ordered. The Thunder Powers are 28mm high and the Durango max's at 25mm.

Replace the suspension mounts with the alu upgrades, and you'll never break another.

Try shimming the diff in the housing so there is very little backlash between the ring gear and bevel gear. Not too tight, and not too loose. Even then, it might happen again, until you replace the kit bearings with something of better quality. I lost 1 gear before properly shimming, and 1 more after that, until I replaced the kit bearings with Avid. No more ring gear problems, since.

Properly adjusting the slipper is key to reducing broken drive pins and also reduces the chance of breaking the ring gears.

This car requires a steep learning curve, so don't give up on it. Check and double check. Strip it down a few times and inspect everything. Learn what needs more attention, and what is bullet proof. It's not perfect, ...no car is, ...but it's damn close!
Good racing!

John..Colton did'nt break once last year did he? We just need the front outer alum. hingepin holder and were good to go.

as far as servicing the diffs.............piece of cake, now if they were ball diffs, I would be like yeah im very slow at this.........but Im a gascar racer, so that's all I work with are gear diffs, working on these is no different than a 1/8 buggy.

yeah trev i was texting colton and and thinks it coulda been bas shimming maybe but never had a problem and as far as the suspension holder in the front are we talking on the outer front or both? the inner front also? i was thinking about doing the front inner and outter and same with the rear inner and outter.. colton also says he uses the 4mm toe block,so ima start with that....

shim on the arms aka hinge pins to move them foward or back does effect handling if you move them foward usually would give you more rear bite shortening the length if you move them back u would be less stable in the rear ,but the car would turn better,as far as wheels base anytime you widen the rear the more stable the car would be but also not near as responsive hope this makes since..

Flux Capacitor housing. It allows the Durango to travel through time so you can go back to 1989 and school those JRx2s and RC10s.
