I'm in the same boat as Sime in that I ordered my Tresrey stuff just before the Durango gear came out. Got them yesterday and I will say though you get a lot in the Tresrey packs. I'd go with them as they do look the business too. The driveshafts even came with serrated nuts. Replaced all 6 shafts yesterday and waiting for the next race to test. Will probably go for the whole lot next time, hubs, etc.

I'll just spray the whole thing red and say it's Tresrey. I still want chrome wheels though.

I´ve got question:
What´s the difference between the 2mm Driveshafts and the stock Driveshafts?
The Thickness of the Pins?

Well, they will be in the box of the 410R, I guess that the pro kit will have them as well from now.

why will they be in the pro kit from now on if when we ask why the pins snap we are told we have built them wrong

surely if it's a build problem they shouldn't need to be replaced?

can someone from durango explain why you are replacing them please?

i have had the same problem as everyone with the pins last week my car went on fire due to the pin piercing the lipo this was the reply i got

You have seen that we are introducing drive shafts with 2.0mm pins. These are new parts, not changes to the existing parts. These new drive shafts have been developed for the DEX410R model as we feel that the users of this slightly lower end model would not have so much experience with setting up of the slipper clutch, making the use of slightly stronger pins necessary.

what a shiest

this 1.5mm pin stuff is starting to make me mad, and the disregard of the problem even more so. I understand that the 1.5 pins work if built correctly, but no matter your skill level or your car building prowess, there is ALWAYS that "what if" factor. Something as questionable and basic as this is a bit ridiculous coming from a $700 car

if this is the case why are they putting them in the new batch of pro kits

At the end of the day it looks like team durango arn't going to be offering any discount or freebies to customers that have allready spent there hard earned cash on there kit so it's either spend the £100 on a new set of driveshafts or keep using the standard ones or sell the durango and buy something else thats just my opinion

I think i am with you on this one paulc many drivers will be voting with there feet me thinks.
I have two cars to upgrade so might just sell them both and go back to the s4's where the pins have never been a problem?
