One of the reasons I went durango other than since you can find the V1s loaded cheap is that its upgradeable to the current spec car. Used to always fall with AE, but wanted to try something different.

Funny how the losi step pins in I think red compound worked out so well. I think prolines M3 steps could have worked excellent to, trick is now finding them! Brandon A was running the Panther steps, things look like mad max style tires.


it was interesting to see though how you can go from planted on the rear to loose when the conditions started to change slightly.

speaking of onpower steering, thinking of adding more weight to the nose section, I have a shorty setup in mine, my daughter is using large 7200mah IP lipos. I do have the front alloy bulkhead but its a gen 1 I am thinking so need to mod it.

Anyone who has done that, is it pretty straight forward just trim with a dremel so it fits the DimeC +8mm chassis?
The full pack does help plant the car but makes it a little lazy. If you run a shorty, it just reacts quicker. The car shouldn't really change too much if the grip level changes. From fully planted to loose, unless the setup is a bit off.
If your conditions change a lot, perhaps you should try RM4. It seems to be pretty consistent when traction levels change during the day.

I run between 30-42g of lead weight behind the servo which helps keep the nose down.
