Thanks. I did check it out today before I built mine. Went together very easily. Don't want to have to take it apart for awhile because damn did Durango over due it with the amount of screws holding it all together thats for sure. Overall the car built well. Just finishing up shocks now. Will need to get some different pistons but for now I used the kit ones and closed off 2 holes for the setup I wanted.

If it's not fully together, do the bfast break in.

B-FAST R/C PERFORMANCE
Differential Break-In Procedure
1) Clean all parts and work area

2) Follow owner’s manual for assembly instructions

3) Lightly Coat Diff Balls with B-Fast Pro Diff lube, thoroughly lube Thrust Bearing with
B-Fast Pro Thrust grease. (or equivalent)

4) Snug diff screw just until gear will not turn while outdrives are held.

5) Hold one outdrive from spinning, a hex wrench that fits into the outdrive slot, clamped to your bench or in a vise works good.

6) Use a power drill or Dremel (the cone shaped cotton polishing tip works great) to spin the diff for about 20 seconds (HIGH rpm on drill, LOW on Dremel). Reverse rotation for another 20 seconds.

7) Tighten diff screw about 1/16 of a turn and repeat step 6

8) Repeat step 7 at least two more times.

Follow owner’s manual to set slipper
Slipper should slip BEFORE the diff
Do Not let the Diff Slip at anytime!!

Has anyone ran into this issue? I am going to email support for replacement, but I thought I'd ask in case it's operator error.
I've had this issue too, placing a shim on the layshaft before putting on the slipper plates fixed it.

Check it out guys, new chassis available with improved strength and better flex characteristics: http://www.team-durango.com/part-inf...artNo=TD320229

It's been hard to stay tight lipped about this to say the least, but the new chassis' are really, really good.

Link updated guys. Sorry bout that!

I added a 110 gram lead sheet under the battery and it handles great! I picked up some lead sheets off ebay to see what it would handle like and will find out more tomorrow at the track. I got enough sheets to do 30 cars or more.

Does anyone know if the Alum. bulkhead (Tresery/Exotec) fits on the new chassis?

Also looking for a different body then the cab forward one that came with it. Bought the DEX210 kit body and it does not fit since its a different chassis.
Any advice?

Hey Bellvis. I was in the same boat. I didnt want to pop for a new motor/ESC combo so I picked up a Reedy sonic 9.5. running between 24 -25 pinion and it works perfect. The stock speed passion ESC will run down to a 9.5 and as of yet I have no problems. I run 6800 70c trak power packs and no thermal shut down
