DEX408 Build Advice

[David]

Cheers Pedro.

I just took another look at the pistons and I see the letters now. Holy crap, they're tiny!

The numbers I was referring to are the numbers on the sprue. So it's:

Part number 330122-3: A-Pistons
Part number 330122-4: B-Pistons
Part number 330122-12: C-Pistons

Of course now I can't remember what I used where but I think I got it right

Sooooo...... massive lack of progress since last week. The car's built but there's a European-wide lack of Tekin RX8/T8 combos and my charger has disappeared after the courier decided that since he couldn't find my house, he'd deliver it somewhere else. Where that somewhere is remains a mystery.

Anyway, I was reading through the tech-tips on Durango's website and I think I might have made a mistake. If you build the rear end using the 2mm roll-centre mod, do you use the 3/2 inserts on both the RF and RR or do you use the 3/2 inserts on the RF (inverted of course) and the 3/3 inserts on the RR.

At the time of the build, the manual seemed to suggest the latter but having read the tech-tip, I now think it should have been the former. Before I pull the rear end apart, could someone confirm one way or the other?

Its only the RF inert that you need to flip (and use the 3/2 insert): http://www.team-durango.com/blog/201...centre-dnx408/

Cheers Chris.

I just re-read it and it's clear I've used the wrong RR inserts. I'll pull it apart and rebuild it.
