Durango DEX210 Thread

Yes, It did improve my ability to consistantly pull off good lap times, at least on the low bite track we are running on at the Spektrum Race.. HOWEVER, there are guys here that are doing well with the Stock chassis, Tresrey alloy chassis, and TD DIMEC +8mm chassis. Its like any tuning piece for a car, you wont know the effects till you try it out yourself!

Guys I have ANOTHER issue trying to get my 210 on the track. Now I have found that the cvd end is rubbing on the nutted/plastic insert side side of the diff and is binding up the suspension movement on the right side of the car. That insert is in the correct way, and I did compress the spring a couple times before putting it in. What gives?

That's what I was thinking, but I installed it, broke it in, and re tightened it already. Maybe it needs more bedding in and another adjustment. If I set the rear camber for -1 it binds pretty bad, no way I could run it like that. I know most of the guys at my track are running gear diff, not sure how much help they will be, maybe I just need a gear diff.

and I can't free the links up enough to adjust anything without popping the ends off the balls. I have worked them in and out, added grease to the threads, worked them more and they still bind and not allow me to make adjustments. This car is FIGHTING me to get to the track, I am quickly losing interest in running it.

this depends on the carpet and how big the track is? If its a big track with high bite the up the diff oil to 5000. If its a really small track with tight corners then the light diff oil will help get around corners faster.

I just put my dimec +8 chassis on my MM4 car last night and tested it at OCRC(indoor clay). As with the 8-racing +8 chassis, I found the car really likes the extra length on the chassis. It seems to be a bit better with the plastic chassis over the CF one, as I expected. I think the flex in the chassis is a good thing if I can avoid breaking it...LOL Anyway, if any of you are running MM on indoor clay, I think it is a good investment.
FYI,
You need the new +8 TD body with it(if you want it to look right) as they have changed the sidepods and the old bodies don't mate up to it quite right.

Can you just grind the +8 chassis a bit to get the old body to fit?

I actually use grease in the diff when i run on carpet, but its a small tigth track..

I am running the TD ballstuds and ball cups on both my Durango buggies, and have never had one "pop off", I use my cordless drill (for everything), in and out a few times, and use this on the threads..I would hate to see you abandon the car, it's a great buggy, but its different, and once you get used to the differences, you'll be golden..

Oh and about your pic, it's the other side that's binding, the adjustment nut side.

I went from 4000 to 60wt losi oil on our small tight track, worked wonders
