MMMk... i tried going around that side and along the front of the servo... it just didnt look... tidy. So Idont know yet.

I am thinking about moving my ESC up under the drive shaft and putting a fan near it to blow across the posts and the motor endbell.

Not sure yet though.

Thanks Captain Buzzkill.

Her's how I ran mine. Used a little shoe goo to hold it in place. Seems to work just fine.



Well, knowing that the Durango's all run hot I decided to use the LRP TC Spec ESC which includes a built-in heat sink. So far that has worked really well. Make sure you cut out the vent holes in your body as well. As far as the servo, I'm using a Futaba BLS451 and haven't had any heat issues at all.

Thats what I think it is. Those bearing have an awful squeak to them right now as well I gotta replace them...Ive replaced the fronts and middle bearings with Boca yellow seals and all that remain are the rears. Gotta get them out soon.

Mike, the one thing that bothers me with that setup is that i would think the servo saver nut would rub through the wires?

I read enuff about the bearings for this car. I am about to order a set of Boca Greens. Indoor hardpack is what I what I will be running. Thoughts?

I think I'm done with the set-up on my car, drove it last night some more and it feels really good and is so much fun to drive. I also drove my old dex410 last night, which is one of the original ones and I could definitely feel that it is a stiffer car, wasn't bad but felt I could drive mine harder, more forgiving.

Well, what is the setup? Hupo with any changes? Are you running 2 or 3-hole shock pistons in rear? I need to get motivated and build this car!

Yeah, close to Hupo's cactus set-up(http://www.petitrc.com/setup/durango...ic20100321.pdf), things I changed: both pistons drilled to 55's (1.3mm), Losi 35 wt. front, 32.5 rear, front tower camber link to #2, 10k front, 5k rear and I just have the side weights with the racers edge 5200 lipo. Thats pretty much it for now.

Kewl. Now are you running 2 or 3-hole piston in the rear? Hupo setup uses 2-hole on all 4 corners correct?

And how are the stock bearings holding up?

No - the shoe goo holds the wire below the jagged part of the nut so there isn't any problem. The wire is pulled up in the photo because I was messing with it.

Sounds great! I appreciate it sir!!

3-hole....wondering if that is a typo on that set-up. His latest set-up from the Euros has a very similar shock set-up and it shows a 3 hole (just different rear springs I think). 2-hole would be way too stiff anyway.

And no issues with the bearings as of yet.

jus curious guys, i just like following up on cars... how is this car? any issues or gripes? in regards to handling, how is it compared to b44, cat sx2, and the 4wd kyosho?

thx

Really? Have you tried running 2-hole in the rear or is it just so far off base it is just plain silly?? I am wondering why this setup sheet would be printed with a typo . . .

Only major issue is with the 410R and it's plastic front inner and front outer suspension braces. They are crap and tend to break the first time you put it on the track. Replace them with the - almost impossible to find in the US - aluminum parts and the car is near perfect. The rest of the hop-ups aren't really critical though the plastic rear skid plate tends to collect a lot of dirt so the brass weight replacement is a decent hop-up to pick up.

Wiring it is a bitch but you'll feel like a bad ass once you get if figured out.

And I'd recommend using an ESC with a heat sink or fan because this car runs hot. I'm using the LRP TC spec.

The Rango is my favorite car to drive - by far. And I have some nice cars.
