Tresery complete, VERY NICE!

[Bagman]

have you tried it yet?

[xchange]

yep and from the current setup, i went to the Kinwald setup.

From my first Durango (2009) the ball cup are more heavy duty but i had some issues 2 or 3times with the new one.

The CVD pin still unscrewing, so now my CVD have all 2 screw to retain the pin and secure.

I m very happy with this setup, i prefere the plastic side on dirt and alu side on carpet.

Next evo is the carbon fiber chassis and go down 1500gr and cut the rear brace to add small shocks.

Difficult to explain without image, i want to give more flex to the alu side pod without removing rigidity.

So to do, i plan to cut the rear brace where normaly you put the weight in each side and then add micro shock with limiter to allow 4mm of flex.

1500gr is my idea haha i dont think is possible

I'd be worried that with a carbon chassis the centre of gravity would shoot up and it would be less manageable in the air. I know I'm going to talk myself into a carbon chassis but I do like the alloy. I may get it for the dirt.

OK, but RPM Homepage says that they are only working with Lunsford Turnbuckles, correct?

[jamiekerr14]

JConcepts + Shui ball studs

Thanks for the kind words guys, all the praise goes to Kifo unfortunately!

Yeah, I still need to get 4 mall ball studs to finish them all off. But did all the one's that will be most likely to pop off ect. A friends uses the same setup and has had no issues with over 6 months use..

Few more-Before Sticker's:
