Gearing u will have to play with some but watch your temps. I run a 10.5 and am using 25/78 gearing. That's fine for me now.
Servo, standard is fine.
Battery, TrakPower shorty is an awesome battery. That's what I run. It makes room for weight adjustment. You can move it around with no problems. Just need to add foam to the try. I run mine all the way forward.

For gearing we're at 24-25/81 with a mildly boosted 8.5. With a 9.5 you'll probably be 2-3 teeth higher. Don't bother with the stock spur- get either a 78 or 81. RW has nice ones, the new TD machined ones are very nice too. Or Tresrey makes a slipper plate/layshaft set that allows you to use spurs for AE cars. I'll be using that setup on my new SC as I have loads of JC Machined spurs from my sc10.

Johnny,
When you guys are running the standard chassis, where do you normally run the battery? Do you run it up against the mm batt stop? RM batt stop?
Thanks looking for a starting point.

We always have the stop forward in the MM position. It's usually no further back than 3 pads of the stop, depending on track conditions. Cush likes a lot of steering and an aggressive feeling car, so it may vary for you. Either way, having the stop in the forward position allows extra adjustment.

12mm Front Hex Mod
Ok I just bolted the new axials on the car and took some more pictures to compare with the stock set.
From this picture you can see that with this mod the front axial will be in the 3mm position. That is what I normally run so it works for me.
Here I was measuring the back spacing to the inside lip of the rim. To keep the stock spacing you will need to run 4mm of shims on the hex side.
Mounted on the car.

12mm Hex for Rear
Here is the Rear 12mm Hex from Avid (part #AV1002-RR). The kit does not come with the shorter axial pins needed, so I used the ones I already had from Tresrey. You could just trim the stock pins to fit. I also used 2 very thin axial shims between the hex and bearing.
The rear width is exactly the same.

I emailed the Team Manager for Durango today and he said as of yesterday there is no solid date yet. I also Texted Travis Amezcua today and he said at HotRod there was too much traction with it but he prefers it at WCRC.
