I am running them as had them left from my DB2, you must use the Durango crown gear as well with the Kyosho drive cup, you have to shim them quite a bit to get them right and also quiet but they are bullet proof once installed especially with the machined gears. If you have Durango diffs sitting around then its worth it if not just stick the Kyosho ones in.

While running over the winter indoors at Maritime I was breaking a lot of wishbones, I got fed up so decided to try another option, I fitted Durango DEX410 wishbones, with a few very small mods they fit straight on and the geometry is perfect, they are also a hell of a lot stronger than the Kyosho ones, I am also using the 410 roll bars as these need to be longer.
I know a lot of you will say why I don't break them, maybe it was just the cold and me being unlucky but I done a hell of a lot

Since I've had the car I've run shorty and thought the car was great to drive, but after 3 months I thought I would try saddles, the car is more predictable and consistent so I will be sticking with them for the outdoors as well.

Hi Bomber, I know this was an old post but I am currently experiencing similar problems mostly due to my driving I know. I would be interested to know exactly what small mods are required to use the Durangos and how it affected the performance if at all.

You need to remove about 2 mm of material from the rear of the wish bone on the inner hingepin and drill out the outer hingepin to 3.1mm, I then used RB6 rear outer hingepins with spacers as they are a bit too long, if you are running rollbars then you will need to use the Durango bars as they need to be longer to reach the new mounting position.
No difference in performance just stronger as more material around inner hingepin

Looks like kyosho is coming out with a new chassis for the zx6. It will move the motor forward. I saw a pic in a Japanese website and looking at it I think it will give a future option for a center diff. The milled out area looks a lot bigger. Part number law54:

http://kyoshoshop-online.com/kyosho/...999&ggcd=LAW54

What would be the advantage of running a centre diff over a slipper, and why would they move the motor forward?

I have heard conflicting views on the new chassis , some say it's got more machining and will give more flex so more suited to dirt/low traction

Others saying its a high grip chassis that's stiffer than kit

Has anyone tried one yet??

Hi MH.
One of my friends had it on his zx6 last WE for the french nat's on our Maisons Alfort Astro track.
The chassis is same lenght than the first one, the motor is clearly on the front, it is less machined on the surface. More rigid, for sure.
When you take it on your hands to flex it, the chewing gum effect had just desappeared.

Seems to be a good improvement for astro track according to my friend.

No not yet, found a great set up from a club mate and the car is going great at the moment so don't really feel the need to try the chassis at the moment

I'll report back if/when I get one on the car
