hey guys last night at the track i ended up taking first place with my durango the second time ever out on the track! but in the last lap there was like maybe 30 seconds left and i was 3 laps ahead and my buggy decides to crap out in a wierd way! the front axle fell off completely, and the rear hubs both of them the studs pulled all the way out! o and to top it all off the front top deck bushing fell out? so basically i need to do a better job in the pits i guess idk, but what other hubs maybe from other brands or from the dex310 maybe will fit the dex210? also is the top deck bushing worth replacing with the treserey one? thanks guys

Rear hubs don't typically break, I'm running the dex and desc 210's w/o issues for a season+ now. Sounds like you may just need to get the screws in at the right tightness and use thread locker where screws hit metal.

PS the alum hubs from exotek I'd suspect would work if you really wanted them

I'd recommend the exotek front bulkhead and aluminum hinge pin braces, and even their front chassis weight. Great products, great prices iMO.

The only thing I have broke on my buggy is a front axle and that was my fault. I was full throttle down the back straight into the sweeper and clipped the tube with my wheels turned and it sheared the front axle off. I was shocked the axle broke and no plastic broke. I for sure thought I broke the C hub when it hit but just the axle.

By far the most durable buggy I have ever had. I have the Tresrey bushings and my opinion is it's more bling that function.

Use one of the long ball studs in the rear hub and put a nut on the back side of it (happened to me before).

Front Axle you need to put lock tight on the screw that goes through the knuckle to the metal piece

Upper Deck, Use a longer screw and put a nut on the inside next to the servo.

The original kit chassis is "standard"
The Rtr chassis is +8 dimec
The option +8 dimec20
New body molded for +8 molded chassis
8 racing +8 carbon chassis
RcJunky +8 aluminun chassis LW & standard intended for the original kit car
Tresrey +10 CNC chassis for standard kit car
Revolution Design +11 chassis ( aka Unicorn)...

I have personally tried all but the Revolution Designs chassis. They all provide some differences.

Dont forget the Tresrey hub, also creates rear traction by changing the position of the cv joint..

Hey guys did some tuning at the track with the 210. Tried shorty and full size packs, think I found a good setup. Question being I run the ball diff and the +8 dimec 20 chassis. Does anyone else find that this car is sensitive to brakes? I turned my brake epa way down even loosened the slipper. But as soon as I tap the brakes the car comes right around. I could move the upper rear shock out or add less squat but I think that will mess everything else up. Car drives good but if I push it this is what happens. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

All the other stock ones are longer and work. I used the ones on the steering knuckle since the shorter ones from the hub still reach the nut in the knuckle on the lower side of it.
