Hello would this be a good place to start nitro truggies? I have only driven electric but have been really wanting to start to get into nitro.

I need some side driveshafts (The front ones bend pretty easy), anyone know where to get them?? Seems theyre backordered at amain and tower, red rock has not listed them on ebay.
Or has anybody fit HB ones? Someone said something about that before.

+1...they seem to be the last place that has hard-to-find Durango parts in stock. I just got a tank last week from them...nobody else has them that I found.
Speaking of tanks...has anybody had a condition where their engine acted like it wasn't getting fuel once the tank got to about 1/4" of fuel left? I had this happen during a main on Sunday and ruined a good run. I thought something really bad was happening so I pulled it off, I guess I could have just had my pit person fill it up and I could have continued...although I would have had to pit every 6 minutes or so...I can normally do 9.
I took my carb apart and didn't find anything wrong...I submerged the tank in water and it didn't have any leaks. I put everything back together and ran it at home for a bit. Once the tank got to the 1/4" level it started acting funny again...almost like the engine is lean. When this happened yesterday it got progressively worse every lap, to the point where it wouldn't run full speed at all.

Thanks wombat and lapdawg,
About the tank, the clunk may have been stuck at a higher level, its happened to me before. But not since I installed the HB tank, and I havent break it either, good upgrade from stock tank I might say.
I posted pics some pages back in this thread with the tank installed.

Hey guys, I'm looking to get a new truggy and I REALLY like the looks of the 408T. I noticed that this thread hasn't seen any action for awhile and there is talk of parts not being in stock. I'm just wondering if there are some major problems with this truggy or maybe it's about to be replaced by a new version? Out of all the truggies on the market right now, this one LOOKS the most impressive. I love the aluminum bulkheads, The aluminum inserts for the pinion on the diffs, the spiral cut ring and pinion gears, and alot of other stuff. With no action in this thread and talk of parts not being available, I'm thinking this may not be the way to go. Whats up with Durango and their truggy?
Thnx, Micah

Anybody out there know anything about this truggy? Whats the story? I saw that I could pick up a new kit off Ebay for $450 with shipping included. Tower, Amain, and others still want top dollar for it. I just don't want to buy something that wont be supported with parts right after I buy it. As far as I can tell from reading through some of this thread there have been fuel tank issues [which seems to happen with alot of brands] and an issue with the center rear shaft wearing out a little quick because of the angle that it runs at. I'd be willing to deal with those issues as long as parts will be available.
Thnx, Micah

The funny part about all this shit thats been written about the 408t is that its sounds like most of the people having problems with it are f-ing tard carts. I mean really the mounting tab ears breaking off the tank. You have to be smarter then the piece of plastic your working with. Servos over heating. Well if you had half a brain you would have seen that when building the kit and once again used your pea brain to over come it with shimming it up off the chassis. Parts support are you people just stupid little kids or what. Towerhobbies / Absolute hobbies has every godamn part you want for the buggy and truggy. And its all in stock. Jesus christ i wonder where some of your heads are at. Godamn coat tail riders. Here's why say this. Somebody on tech started some shit about how you should never ever use old fuel especially if its been opened and stored on concrete. Well guess what thats complete bull shit i used 2 gallons of Byron's that had been opened stored in a garage sitting on the concrete floor for 2 years just to see if any of the shit i read had any truth to it. And like i thought its bull shit i ran it in all my modded engines and had no issues at all not one problem. You might lose a little of the nitro content maybe. If the cap is tight its good. So for me i could care less if Ryan couldn't get parts support from Durango i am buying the truggy this week from Tower for $599 - $66 for the coupon and free shipping. And buying all my spares i think i'll need for next season. I mean look at the way its designed that truggy is simply bad ass and i can't wait to whip my buddys asses with it . There all goin with the Mbx7ts . I have a 6t and love it but man that Durango is a must-have for me. They have all read this thread and are scared to buy one. There haten on it pretty bad. So it will be even more sweeter when its smacking there asses on the track which it will.

surprised the crap outta me... The DNX408T is a tank,
only problem i'm contemplating is buy the current 408T or painfully wait for the new DNX8T.
