I am currently putting the td2-4 together, and although it has not turned a wheel yet - I am super impressed with the quality of the kit and parts supplied.

Everything went together super sweet, and the supplied parts feel every bit as quality as many kits. The 3D printed parts feels very strong and have a nice finish to them.

The kit looks well on the bench and the geometry looks right. I was not expecting the kit to be of such high quality - but it is

The design is elegant and much less fussy than the Durango offering, it just feels well thought through and optimised - as opposed to an array of holes so you can try a million combinations of layout to try and get it to work. Personally i'm only interested in 'the' layout that does work - and other cars follow a similar layout - so fingers crossed.

Instructions and setup sheets are easy to follow and the whole thing came largely pre assembled - just bolt on each end. Looking forward to finishing the kit when my electrics arrive.

Not sure - the designer would need to answer that one - what I can tell you - on my car - if I pick it up but the spur gear cover it feels quite level in terms of weight balance - but I only have a short servo in mine.

Hello from Mr'o' racing
the balance of the car is 42.5% front and 57.5% rear with full size servo. The total weight of my car is 1518g.
Hope this helps.

Mr'O' Racing is all set for round 1 of the BRCA nationals. The TD4-4 finally gets its production body shell and looks stunning. Both the TD2-4 & TD4-4 have a fantastic paint job done by "51 paint depot".
Hopefully be a repeat of last year and be top Durango drive differently with the pace that the TD4-4 has had at regional so far.

Hi all found this video on YouTube of the brca round 1 national at Kidderminster. 2nd time out with the production TD4-4 and in the 4th round of qualifying I got a 13th in round. I qualified 1st in the C-final and had an amazing race with Kev Lee for 1st position and had a very close last lap. one of the most fun finals I've had and the car was great.
