Status: offline 		I tried to make the adjustment after the fourth tank, but when I tried the differential was already very tight and it was still tight even turning it counter clockwise so I assumed it wasn't ready yet. I did get it apart and the gear that holds the 3/32" balls was melted around them. Just ordered a rebuild kit and new gear today. Should have it in by Thursday. Can't wait to go break it again I think this buggy will do about 45mph and maybe faster. Anyone checked?

Status: offline 		I saw your post on this truck and I am considering buying it. It has been 5 or so months since this post what is your current opinion? Any breakage? If so how was getting parts/service for the truck.

Thanks

Huett

Status: offline 		Im not saying that I dont like Duratrax, but my local hobby shop said they wouldnt suggest it because not alot of places sell there parts and there really hard to get.
They said that you will need to buy almost all your parts of of www.towerhobbies.com
Is this true?

Status: offline 		I can find most suspension parts at my LHS and they are starting to stock more and more. They carry all the electric parts. The Nitro they are starting, but haven't been out long enough to stock everything. As far as ordering from tower hobbies, they are awesome I just ordered $50 worth of parts for my duratrax from them(to stock up) and they charged me 3.99 shipping for everything AND I got it the next day!!!!! Now I do live within a few hours of their warehouse, but still very nice company to deal with.

Status: offline 		To everyone: Yesterday i purchased the evader bx. It was a breeze to break in. Adjusting the diff is very easy ppl. Take the tire off, take the rear ball cup (drag link?) off w/ pliers. the cv should slide right out, get an allen wrench(don't know what size) and turn the screw allt eh way in, then 1/8 of a turn out. I love my duratrax, it will smoke a losi and a f(*&^% tmaxx! They have come a long way since the maximums. Check em out, it's a top of the line car w/ tons of hop ups and race ready!

So far ours is doing very well. My son loves it when it will pull the front wheels up and do a wheelie down the street!


So it does wheelie easy? I am thinking of getting an electric ST and put a brushless motor.

Status: offline 		You say XXX NT - I do not want another nitro myself. But if anyone has experience with the XXXT the electric one, that would be good to hear from. Right now for me the Evader pro version is the one that is winning. I am still undecided.
