- Follow the directions they are pretty good. I like the 1:1 pics
- Take your time when setting up the radio tray.
- Install the radio tray before the side mud guard
- Install 1mm shims on the outside of the outer brake pad
- If you cant set the gear mesh check the back case of the engine on the rear chassis brace.
- Make sure you pay close attention to mounting the spur gear to the diff case
- Do not overfill the diffs
- When you build the shocks if the shaft does not slide smooth take the shock apart and flip the little black plastic washer that fits in the red lower shock cap
- if you use the inner mount position on the tower for the rear camber link install a small shim to move the link further away from the tower
As for batteries any stick pack will fit. This one will work.

This one should fit but I am not 100% positive on that

I hope this helps the build is nice and smooth.

My DNX408 seems to have pretty bad off power understeer, is this because I have no toe-out? I am running 7-7-2 in the diffs with the starting setup from the instructions. Everyone else seems to have great steering on & off power. I am running on a smaller indoor clay track (1:10scale) so it is a little tight.
What else effects off-power steering?
I love the car, it is SOOOO easy to work on. Great design.

More off power steering
Lighter front diff fluid
thicker rear diff fluid
toe out
raise rear camber links
lower front camber links
move shocks in on tower
All these will effect steering in other areas like decreasing on power steering but just a few things to try.

Is it me or do a lot of people forget about this simple technique over looking it.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Hi friends you have noticed that from the power supply when there is pressure tanks mixture enters the tube and turn off the engine. I thought about changing putting on cap closure as all other models.
Pressure durango same full height filler cap that is not good, you had problems too.
A pleasure to know the color shock absorber springs buy, I can not do them all.
Thanks.
