After the problems I had last week with the speedo not giving full speed and then cutting out totally I contacted JP Customer Service and explained the problem. It is alwats worrying when the response starts with "Dont know whats going on here".
Anyway they suggested I refit the original radio (which I do not have).
So have fitted the Hobbywing 1020 esc, hopefully this will work even though it says the max limit is a 550 12 turn motor which is what is fitted in the truck. Hey ho, all maxxed out so fitted fan on esc and am hoping this works ok.
My Durango DESC210 has arrived (cheap from E bay) and was a bit of a mess with a few bits missing and a very dodgy gearbox. New bearings in the gearbox appear to have solved the crunchy sounds and have had to order a few minor parts but after a service of sorts it appears to be OK. Fitting a 10.5 brushless and my spare LRP FLOW just to see what it goes like, yep, speed IS everything!

Does this mean Sean and I need to upgrade our 13.5 motors now?
What bits are you missing for the Durango, we might have them (we've got a box full of Durango buggy and truck parts).

Need anything I can get. If you havecspares you do not use/ need I will take them off you. To get the truck going I need shock retaining cups as am missing one. The rest I can manage without at the moment.

I'll take a look when I get back.
If all else fails, I might be able to 3d print one for you.

Did you ever get spring retainers Ian?
Only asking as I 3d printed some for our touring cars so we can use long springs on them. They came out pretty well given I've got one of the cheapest printers on the market.
