Finishing my build, and filled my shocks today. Now, would anyone care to guess which problem I ran into?
Yep. O-rings are squishing out underneath the cap.
Current solution: screw the cap on loose enough to not get the problem, but I'm worried it'll unscrew itself as it's really too loose.
I remember reading something about this earlier, but can't find the posts. I'm leaning towards trying to dremel the inside edge of the cap to create a cone edge, but stopped before going there because I can't see Durango designing this good a ride with the need to dremel down new parts. Pretty please - tell me what the mounting trick is, as I've never had this problem with the AE shocks. (Unless I forgot the bleeder screw in during tight-down.)

Brandon Collins, ive tryed to look closer to your steering rack shimming and mods and I cant see close enough to what you have done to eliminate bump steer. Can You break it down for me. And did flipping the steering rack help?

Short up front and 2 ounces of weight on servo...<--This is what you have?
Ill try moving both and see how it works.....
Mike Barnes... Mr OCD himself... got his dialed with no push and hooked mine up..... He has softer springs from Billy F so his rear is a BIT more Planted...... May change some oil as well... Dont have any different Pistons...I want to get those spring sets because I want to try softer up front and harder in the back. The kit springs are more set up for MM if you ask me.
Gunna do some PRIVATE test and Tune today... If I can get my Tired ASS up.... Been a LONGGGGG 3 days of racing at the New Shop... FUN but Tired

Tech Fanatic
iTrader: (54)
Most think JC is tied to AE, but they do have drivers for other makes, i.e. Durango's Billy Fischer and TLR's Dustin Evans. And they did release a Finnisher body for the Durango DEX210. So give it time and I think JC would release a wheel for the Durango.

And yes, it will allow you to get rid of all your bumpsteer. Instead of running 7 or 8mm of bumpsteer spacers (which cant really be done)... you can now run 2 or 3.

Big Difference....
Ran as is... 2oz on my Servo and Shorty up front.... was better than yesterday.... figured so i was TOAST after the 3 days racing....LOL
Moved Shorty to about Middle...... BIG Difference..... With the changes Mike did I dont need the added weight up Front...... Gunna try with Battery all way back and see how that feels....
Was pretty tired so i called it a day....
Time ta grill some DEAD COW in the 70deg sunshine......
Thanks Chance.... sometimes the simple things will work....
Ill SCREAM if the shocks come available this week..... i have a BUNCH of singles as well... so ill see what is available 1st.....

After talking to one of the Hobbico reps at Motorama, they probably won't be doing anything to change the way TD operates for awhile, if ever.
Reason why, is TD still has a standing contract with HRP on being the sole distributor in the US. Also, TD has to get off their ass and start getting more parts made and in larger quantities. From what I've seen over the last two months, HRP hasn't been doing that bad on getting things out.
Bottom line is, if they don't have the parts, they can't distribute them.
