The Viper motors run VERY cool. I haven't had mine much over 120 and that's after a full pack. And I love the ProGauge too. Geez, I sound like a salesman....

Got to use the avid steering rack, I like it alot, steering got better, I had to turn down my exponential though because it got alot more sensitive.

I also got to test the BB spring conversion, I haven't decided how I feel about it, I got to run it some more, then switch back to see if I like it and what I notice.

I wasn't sure how people felt about the avid steering bell crank. I ordered two anyway, one for my SC10 and one for my B4.1 but glad to hear you like it! Hopefully I like it too!

First time I've heard that. If you don't know how to drive, you're going to break something. Doesn't matter what car it is. Also, warmup laps aren't meant to be 100%. If you break your car during the warmup lap(s), sounds like a driver issue, not the car.

Every car has parts that are known for breaking, and every car will pop ball cups, or something that causes you to not finish at some point.

For me:
-22 was too twitchy. Buggy is very light out of the box and steering was too "notchy", in the sense that there was no smooth transition from left to right. Stock setup was not very forgiving, however I hear there is an updated box setup from Losi.

-B4 & 4.1 are great cars. Easier to drive than the 22, but didn't feel as stable when turning or when getting on the power.

-IMO, 210 is the best 2wd buggy out right now, in the right hands. If you haven't driven 1/10 2wd buggies before, then the 210 isn't the right car for you. It is a very professional level kit that comes with a great setup out of the box and can be competitive in mod or 17.5 it's first time out. It has loads of adjustment; many easier to make than the 22 or B4/.1. It took me a while before anything broke on my car (SCT smashed my front shock tower at full speed). My stock ball cups are perfect (however on Lunsford now for weight & aesthetics).

I won't keep ranting, but for anyone looking to buy between the big three, you really need to drive all of them (box and tuned setups) and try to get a feel for each car and list things you like/don't like and then make your decision.

Remember, nobody can tell you what buggy you should buy, or which buggy is going to be better for you.

22 is great, b4.1 is just faster

i wish the track had durango parts, i would totally thing about trying and getting one.

I recently got a used b4.1 but it has a crappy spektrum sr100 servo in it. what servos are u guys usin? im trying to stay out of the $70 range more like in the $30 to $50

With the recent buyout of Team Durango by Hobbico, getting local parts shouldn't be an issue in the next few months, if your hobby shop decides it's wise to start stocking parts.

My local shop has atleast nine Durango 210 drivers I can think of right now, and they still don't want to stock parts, yet. You have to realize spending several hundred, or thousand, on stock parts for a buggy not many people race isn't a good investment.

My advice, if you drive the 210 and like it, buy as many spares as you can and just have your own parts stock.

I think i'm lost here...for some reason I cannot figure out the front hex conversion. I have ASC7496, ASC9880 and the JC2135. I have extra roll pins, but for some reason none of this looks right. Help!

It will still be faster.
The Reedy 3300kv motor was built for the Buggy not the SC10. They stuck it in the SC10 for a brushless RTR truck. It moves very well with that motor though. It just runs hot. The buggy with a 3300kv Reedy in it is nasty fast. People with them are luck some of our tracks allow it in the 13.5T class. It will hold it's own on some tracks in a mod buggy class though.

Thanks for your help!

looking for a big bore shock setup for my b4.1 and t4.1

any links or help finding the whole setup.

Thanks for the help of not having to dig through 600 pages of info......and yes i did a search.

Associated (short course) big bores

kyosho big bores numbers or links.......

TQ racing big bores numbers or links......

Would you recommend me switching the 3300 kv into the buggy or would it not make much of a difference?

Take a look at the sc10 rs manual and that should help. That truck uses hex's too.

look on these forums, can find a really nice used servo in that range, even a ds1015! *pulls out spare servo box* it has 201.4 oz-in @ 6v with a speed of .108
