Seriously, the weight thing is getting to be a ball-ache. My Durga handles like crap with a 3200 lipo in it as its half the weight of a pack of nimh cells. If lipo is "the future" (like garlic bread), why can't manufacturers get on board eh?

I've got mine, import, and planning to run it a bit at Worksop Sunday, your not missing much yet though Mark, there's no spares at all anywhere yet, so I'm only running till the first thing breaks!

They've arrived???

I think you'll be getting an order from me soon Adi!! Shame its too late for this weekend!

For those who've run it with BX shocks, how did you set them up, I've had a devil of a time getting the car low enough?

Its not a lightweight by the way, even with 3200 sadle Lipo its nearly 100g overweight without any ballast!! Still trying to decide whether to add some anyway for better balance.

Dave

Only some parts are already available, not the whole package. I've been talking with rc champ and they are asking Yokomo every 2-3 days for them.

Ran the car in the final qulifying round at Worksop Sunday, and suffice to say set my best time of the day with it on it's first run, better than I managed with the BX Worlds all day!! Got 17th in round too, which trust me for me is very good!!

Still some setup work to do on it but the major plusses immediately were that it jumps very very well, and it felt very easy to get a good rythmn compared to other cars I've run!

Overall, , especially considering the only thing none standard about it was having Bx shocks on!!

Nice and easy, the diffs and driveshafts are all prebuilt

Everything else went together well and quickly, really was the easiest I have ever done!
