I have more nick names than most people have socks. Boo boo is my newest one I always seem to bust up my hand or burn my arm or something. Last month I tried to sever my thumb with a fly wheel andthen when I was building the dnx I busted a 1.5mm hex wrench and shoved t into my hand right at the finger. I managed to hit an artery and blood was squirting out of my hand pretty good so after I soaked a shop towel I went in and asked my wife to take me to the urgent care because the back side of my hand filled up with blood and swelled up like I broke it. Inwas worried that the internal bleeding wouldn't stop so a trip to the urgent care a tetanus shot and antibiotics and Inwas back building in an hour. 
so I picked up a new nickname. Boo Boo.
Btw when there was meat hanging out from my thumb I wrapped it and pit some tape on it and raced. I won the truggy main that day and tqed buggy truggy and e truggy it was a clean sweep. I finished on the podium in the buggy and managed to drive the e truggy out of the park and lost a drive pin. But what a day. Ohh ya a little banged il hand isn't keeping me from racing tomorrow either.

How do the plastics on the Durango compare to the Xray or Mugen? I am thinking about getting one of these just because how nice it looks lol, but I wanna see how sloppy it gets after a few tanks.

at this point i think you would have to see how the DEX410 guys find it next to the other 10th scales, im sure they use the same plastic.

Ok guys, a few questions. So do the servos sit right on the chassis? Or is there some type of cradle or mount in between the two?
The question of whether or not I have to grind the rear chassis brace has already been answered.
So does the battery box really have to be disassembled to remove the battery?
Also it would appear that the shock shafts are losi style in which the pistons are held down with screws vs a thrd shaft and a nut.

Is your car brand new ?
Mine was the same until it had its first run and bedded in, it went out at 34mm and 1/2 way thru practise it was dragging itself along the floor !
Your right on the kit springs they are super stiff ! Mine is on Losi springs now as i gave up waiting for TD ones to come into stock !

Hi Frank, its designed for the servo wire to be tie wrapped to the underside of the PT holder to keep it away from brakes and spur gear.

You should hold your springs in hand and keep them compressed fof a little while they will settle after that.
