Funny, I talked to two guys from HRP today.

They seemed hopeful about the Hobbico purchase, but said that Durango still needs to be sending them the stuff that is wanted by the public. If you look at TD's website, alot of the stuff is out of stock, so even if you wanted to spend the money on shipping, there's nothing to buy.

In my opinion, even after talking to both Hobbico and HRP, I think it's too early to tell at this point what's really going to happen.

I'll try that, but I think someone wrote earlier that they got this problem when they spilled oil on the o-ring during filling.

That's what I was planning with a dremel. I'll try this as well.

That's a great tip Captain, or should I say it would be - if my problem was the bottom of the shock, not the top. Thanks anyway!

That one I know from my AE shocks. With the screw in, you get pressure and push the o-ring out.

Me too!! But like most Durango parts. It's out of stock. Losi parts house has a listing for the set.

TDR210034 Gear Diff Set (DEX210) 28.99

Parts support is defintly better for the 22. But having driven both. My personal opinion is the DEX. Even with terrible parts support, I believe the car is worth that headache!!

Again, just my opinion..

I just ordered the Associated SC10 Gear Diff and HPI shims

ASC9827

HPIZ892 (2 packs)

The diff drops right in and I was told to use 10 shims on each side


I also ordered Associated Silicone Fluid in 1000 and 2000.

Nice!!! I will look into ordering that kit too!!

I know the guys over on the sc10 thread were mixing 3k and 5k to give them close to 4k. Thats how they were tuning their gear diff.. But thats a heavier truck. The 1k and 2k sounds like a good starting point..

I had the same problem with the cap O-ring grabbing the cap too. I put some shock oil on it and it didn't really help, so I just tightened the cap down really slowly and carefully to the point where there was a decent amount of torque on it and left it. There is no way to get it tightened down so that the cap meets the body without creating more space for the O-ring. So far the caps haven't leaked at all and I don't think that they will. The issue is just that it's a weird design with the O-ring being sandwiched between two flat surfaces. TD should have added groove in the cap.

hi guys,
i m new to 2wd and i m planning to buy a dex210..

i ve just a couple of questions:

-do you think this electronic would be fine: lrp sxx stock spec, 10.5 gm motor,
servo sanwa 801??

-which pinions should i drive with the 10.5 (timing and no-timing)??
does it change anything in the ratio by changing the number of gears or the motor position??

-lastly, how is it to drive a 2wd buggy? is it fun? compared with the 4wd??
easier to maintain??

thanks so much to every one can help me..

thanks!!

I used the orings from a set of regular bores on my most recent shocks. It was really by accident- I misplaced the original orings and had a spare set of the regular bore ones on hand. They are a little thinner from being stretched over the larger body, but no leaks and the caps tighten nicely. I also trimmed the mold flash off the bottom of the cap like a few others have mentioned.
