My 2nd Durga - with Ezrun Brushless 5.5T
This bargain priced yellow Durga arrived a few weeks ago, a local Ebay purchase. The seller sold it as is, with dust and dirt all over the chassis, I am not complaining, it kept the price low! It came with a slipper clutch. Since then, I completely stripped it, cleaned and replaced a few parts. I have ordered a spare shell for it. This particular Durga I have installed my Hobbywing Brushless Ezrun 5.5T setup. I had to learn how to use a soldering iron again to connect all the wires and connectors. Great fun nevertheless! I am running Nimh for the time being but it is a Traxxas 8.4v battery so it does have bit of kick compared to a 7.2v I upgraded the fan on the ESC to a 30x30mm Yeah Racing Tornado High Speed cooling fan and with adapter from RCmart. These fans are brilliant, now it sounds like a vacuum cleaner all the same. Today I tested the speed of the buggy and one word - fast!

Thanks very much for the comments all! @Dam10 - yes my test drive yesterday was in a park with no trees nearby to smash it into.
