Using a 2nd nut is the old school way to locking the 1st nut down and usually used when you don't have lock type nuts. Works in other real world applications...should work for my toy truck.

Default exo chasis

that thing looks sweet
It will be interesting to hear how the extra weight down low in the chasis plants it and quiets the truck down

let us know

Oh yes, do report. I'd like to hear if it's worth coughing up almost 1/2 the price of the truck itself. If so I may consider. Looking forward.

I got the MTK slipper on the way. I have the sway bars. Running stock shocks with Factory Team shafts. What does it mean to have a pinned diff?
Any other most do upgrades? Thanks

If this chassis becomes a must-have hot ticket item I'll save the money and switch to durango!

I'm having some rear end binding which I think is being caused by the slipper. I just tore apart my diff and added 1 traxxas axle shim to one of the sun gears because I'm having the slippage/clicking problem discussed a few pages ago. Everything moves fine and smooth and fine until I put the slipper and spur on, meaning it's not the diff. Could you help me out? There's no screws screwed in to far or anything.

Thanks,
Dan

one of the reasons i didnt end up with a durango is because on top of the 400.00 kit you need another 100+ dollars in necessary upgrades right off the bat. in my opinion any truck you get needs upgrades to stay competitive. if you dont want the EXo chassis just add a bunch of weight around the sides!

I didn't even know about the Durango till after i got into this hobby, again.

I like the 4x4. I just wish I could drive it more. (not the 4x4's fault) lol

The Durango has it's long list of things to be done to race it also. Right now some parts are hard to come by too. Temped many times by used ones to give it a try but the parts problem is keeping me back.

Oh here we go again. I just bought this truck, and it doesn't work. I should just put it on the track and it'll win me a podium finish.

I've made esc and motor changes lately, It's gonna take some time to get it set-up, I guess.
I was thinking about it after I posted, mine wasn't locking it down when hitting the breaks, but did come to a quick smooth stop which is what I was looking for. Are you trying to lock it down to throw around hairpins?

I wonder if the smooth breaking is a feature in the ESC that can be turned off.
