One thing i wish i could use out of the 210 is the ball-diff, so flippin smooth.

its about time!

i recently left my loved b4.1 yes i got a cougar sv2...i just love how it drives, and the quality is the best I have seen.

My b4.1 ft was prob the best thing i have ever had out of the box...no mods at all. No setup changes...just drove amazing to me.....i miss it.

Personally I wouldnt make a decision untill I asked around at the track to see what foams everyone else is running, then you can make your decision.

Im not really picky on foams I would go with the stock foams.

I wouldnt want to steer you in the wrong direction, so ask around at the track first.

Is it ok to run the associated gear diff in this car? How much slower the car will be per lap compared to the ball diff?

You will be back. I left the B4 for the Durango 210. The quality, technology and fit/finish of the 210 is top notch, but I had lost pace with the rest of the locals. I always felt like I was about to find a set-up that worked but was always out of reach. The B4 just works everywhere....that is why i'm back to the B4.1.

hey I am open minded...if this car keeps me just as fast every week even faster its a keeper i will tell you that. Right now this cougar sv2 is to new for me..once its dailed in it is nuts. Due to school I can't race as often so I have not been on my usual pace but I will defiantly base this thing on times. They don't lie....who nows maybe an rb5? nahhhh

WHy do I keep crushing bearings on the inner rear hub? I have only had this car out 5 times and have replaced bearings twice. Is this common or is something missing? I am pretty sure it is assembled correctly. Small bearing inside, tube inbetween, big bearing outside, 2 axle shims, blue spacer. Am I missing something here?
