Basher? Pah, pure-bred racer for the tracks! Fluff is carpet fuzz from my local indoor track, http://www.arenax.co.uk

Wides, they came like that but I'll get another set on narrows as I like the balance the car has at the moment.

Ball diff at the moment, I've read about the problems with the DEX210 ball diff though and I liked how the Associated SC10 went with a gear diff so I'll get one ordered soon as a setup option. I prefer a tiny bit of slip anyway but the slipper clutch can deal with that. I've ran the car for a couple of nights now, I've changed the springs to dark blues and light blues, and its been brilliant. I've tested the strength a few times (don't ask ), but its easily on the pace of everyone else with their Cougars and Centros, which I'm impressed with as I'm a touring car driver, not a buggy man. I just need to concentrate on my driving and reduce the mistakes I make. And yep the 6.5 is beastly. I've turned the ESC down a bit (timing and punch) to tame it but its possible to knock it up a notch or two when needed.

Mines still 'pending' after Npower screwed my eleccy bill and I'm waiting on a refund (comes on the 7th!). Matt Colemans that I drove was awesome, nicer than his old 22 was - its shorter than a 22 and the weights more over the rear. The room for electrics is amazing - as his Spekky receiver was taped in, I put my KO reciever in alongside, and still had room for both my transponder and his!
Interestingly Matt runs the esc on the other side, as I'll run mine which allows for shorter motor wires. I'll also be using saddles with the connectors dead centre so the wires can all be really short keeping everything nice and neat.

How is it on stagger ribs? The one dislike on the one I tested was using minispike fronts but all the other Durangos seemed to run them too.

Ouch. I wanted a new kit but I'm impatient, so picked this one up off oOple with some spares and a few sets of tyres - hence the wide Staggers. Its got a bias towards understeer which I'm putting down to those Staggers, if there's a local with some proper fitted ones I'll try and borrow them and see the difference. The understeer suits my style anyway right now.

ESC went on that side as I don't have a silly short sensor wire, and seeing as it was a fresh ESC install it wasn't a problem to wire it like that. I like the aerial mount on both sides, along with holes marked in the body. It'd be really easy to make narrower sidepods but I wouldn't get the ESC in

wow thats a very nice buggy garry
always impressed with the durango kits
if i was to get one i would be scared of breaking such an awesome looking car and would be relegated to the shelf and only run in very good conditions

Looks superb Garry. Durango kits are so nice to build and work on.

[Garry]
