Durango DEX210 Thread

No but if you think your shocks are fine then empty the oil and clean real good then oil o ring and slide it over the shock shaft and feel how much resistance there is. All of that resistance works out to be about 10 weight in oil when your done putting your shocks together. So I am looking for a better seal like a kyosho p3 grooved o-ring or something close.

Tony- nothing wrong with the stock orings, but the spacer between them needs to be sanded a bit so that the orings don't get over compressed when the bottom cap is tightened. Remove a small amount from the spacer, use a little green slime and they will be silky smooth. Been doing this on all our TD shocks for a while now.
On another note, I ran my 210 outdoors yesterday for the first time. It was super smooth, and agressive at the same time. I qualified 5 in th A, but struggled in the main due to a bad start. Usually my luck..
But the Tresrey GT 2.0 worked flawlessly. All the eyes popped as they walk by my pit, asking what kind of B4 was that? Then I told them it was a 2013 model I was testing for TD/Tresrey.

I know I have asked this before, but can somebody tell me the pros and cons of the 210? Has parts support kicked up? Is there a lot of upgrades needed or is it bling? Are there any durability problems? Are there set ups available? How does this compare to the 22? I just sold my RB5 and am in the new buggy market...

If you can swing the black nitride shock shafts I can say without hesitation they're worth their cost for smoothness. I've had mine since they were available and there is NO signs of wear after at least 100 or more packs. No leaks and anyone that feels my shocks are always comment on how smooth they are. Stock orings, green slime,etc. Trimming of the shock internal plastic parts can prevent any binding also.

Setups are becoming more readily available, but you will also find that there is a great group of guys on this thread who are willing to share info and help with any issues you may be having. It's a great buggy overall and has shown its more than capable of racing with and beating any other car out there. I wouldn't hesitate to pick one up again if I had it to do all over.

You can opt for the bfast diff for more time between rebuilds but you can still live with the stocker, its pretty nice box stock.
I just got ur buggy for stock duty since the rango in stock form is too heavy (~ 1620grams RTR with shorty) :P might sell the kyosho in a month once the rango plastic chassis comes up and I can get her down to 1500grams

Most upgrades are bling, but you gotta have aluminum suspension holders (tresrey or team sr both are excellent) and if possible front bulkhead, other than that my buggys fine, just take hubs and arms to the track and your golden. I wanted to upgrade the shock towers but frankly I replace them for wear every few months so cannot afford the CFs . Have yet to break a tower though. Have stripped rear hubs, broken F/R arms thus far, but those crashes would break any competitors car too.

if you want to use it for stock then carbon fibre chassis and shock towers and other weight saving ideas as well
i believe there is a moulded 8mm+ long chassis coming out that should be a fair weight saving over the metal current chassis
there not the lightest buggies thats for sure
