I really like the quality of Durango, and even though my local shops do not stock parts, I can order them online in bulk. Recently I have found most of the local shops carry less and less of the most used parts for the B4 and 22 anyway.

So before I pull the trigger, I read several thousand pages on this thread, and based on your suggestions, I will only need a few minor parts to make the car bullet proof.

What are the most common parts to break and what should I stock up on?
Who's set up should I start out with as a baseline for a medium bite, outdoor dirt and clay track? What about indoor clay?
The buggy is real durable. I def would get the carbon/alum steering plate. Just the std...towers, arms, etc. I have only broke a rear tower since the car first came out. I have a lot of nip that never get touched. Lol.
I have a nice low to med traction outdoor setup listed here. I really like the benefits of RM4 outdoors where grip low to med.

Thinking about trying the gear diff just for fun. What fluid should I start with for a low to medium out door track? Thanks for all the help.

Ive read a popular choice is to coat the parts with AE black grease.

anyone try out the revolution designs bass front suspension block yet or how about the exotech rear hubs , the ball stud moved to the next hole over on a really light hit so i was thinking aluminum would be good , and the suspension block is just weight to the front for my aggressive bad driver style and it looks easier to clean than plastic

Black grease mate just enough to cover the gears.

Will take about 2 or 3 lipos to loosen up then they are perfect

Default diff

I wanted to ask anyone here that has tried the sc10 gear diff in the car for some help. I would be interested to know if you did anything other than just shim it(which is all that I have read)? I am trying to fit a B4.1 diff in my buggy and it seems that the gear is a little smaller in diameter, so assuming the sc10 diff was the same size I was wondering how you dealt with that?

And to answer the question that I know is coming, I am doing it because the outdrives on this car suck! I know some of you don't have problems, but I also know a lot of people that do, and I unfortunately fall into the latter, so I want a solution.

Thanks in advance!

I have a B4/SC10 BALL diff in mine, it requires 2 bearings on each side and shrink wrap on the outdrives to take up the slop. I just had it apart changing it from RM4 to RM3 and should have taken pics.

Hope this helps.
