Yeah, we'll see how she holds up. I won't be doing anything extreme, mostly just playing around in some school yards and stuff. I've raced for the last 6 years so I wanted something to just have fun with and oddly I thought that a 210 with a gear diff and some bigger tires would give me something small, cheap, and fun to run. Plus it's not some awful Traxxas!70% through the build now. I put the car in mid motor and the rearmost transmission mount/sway bar mount setup seems very odd. Anyone else agree? Why would the screw go through the arm mount and then have fixed lock nuts to thread into as well- awkward. Also the round plastic spacers didn't fit into my arm mounts, anyone else find this? The f/r hubs had a ton of bind in them too before I sanded them down.

how did you end up getting new ones from durango? who did you contact?
I just bought new ones, but the are expensive.
I live in holland and no durango shop here.
I had to pay 9 dollars + 6 dollars shipping = 15 dollars for 1 bag of 4.
I made sure that the ball cups line up perfectly.

Bugle Boy Bodies!!
I must say , they have perfect fitment, holes are in the exact location and the style looks great on the car! I am taking studio pix tomorrow these are off of my phone. I decided to go with velcro since it fits so snug. I only have 11 left and they will be on the site this weekend. I will bring more in if need be, they are very easy to deal with and helped me out with the EXPENSIVE shipping. i havent put a calculator to it for pricing but basically it ends up being about 6.00 more for the set over retail.

Probably not this round since i only ordered complete sets which includes that bumper. Unless someone wants a body with no under tray! On the next order i will order more undertrays, I just wanted to test the water to see how sales go.

If nolimit wants to split it, ThunderbirdJunkie will take the top body. He's not concerned with the bottom.

I just put them on today...I was having problems with the little screw at the top of the big bores coming undone. I used threadlock on them but still had problems so I bought a set from the 410 and put those on. won't know how they drive until I get my esc back from Tekin

Use motor spray to clean all the shock parts out. Let dry. Thread lock bolt and let sit overnight. Build the shocks the next day. Should be ok and don't use TD red threadlock - no good.
I have a setup question that I hope you guys can help me with.
I am running MM4 on our 40x100 asphalt/carpet offroad track.
Front: full trailing, 30 castor, spring stock, 1.5 camber
Rear: 3.5 toe, spring 1 harder than stock (light red), 1.5 anti squat, 1.5 camber
Car is good for me, nice to drive, and stable, quick enough.
The car pushes on-power. We have a lot of Durangos at or track - one guy said to run 3 trailing to help with the on-power push.
From what I have read, this seems counter-intuitive to me... I put 24g in the nose and it helped but not enough.
Should I go to 3 trailing??? I do not need any more turn in - car has enough now.
Any ideas? Thanks
