I use the Reedy 8.5 in my 210 so close. Most people around here use 13.5's in their wheelers

I have been running 8.5 in my 2wd buggy and 6.5 in my 4wd buggy.i usually don't change out motors for track size.i just don't squeeze the trigger really hard when running smaller tracks.

Started a new thread if anyone wants to discuss setup ideas for running MM on dirt.

Hey guys I'm having issues with ballcups coming off. I've replaced the ones that had some wear on them but curious if boiling them would help or if anyone is using any other than stock. I'ts really confusing because they're a bitch to pop back on by hand once off.

Thx,
Kevin

The Associated ball studs for the TC5 have the standard size ball and 3mm threads. Use those and RPM ball cups, or Lunsford makes a kit, or you can go a page back and learn how to use 22 ball cups.

Not sure why we couldn't keep all the setup combined into one thread like this current one. I see a lot of both worlds in this thread already. Really shouldn't try and spread it out and make it even harder to get feedback from other Dex210 owners.

Took the car out for its first outing. OCRC raceway. Man, it needed some work. I was able to get around without too much pain. Not bad for no rc driving in the last 7 years. Ball cups popped off 5 times. They will be changed. Had an on power push i need to sort out. The suspension needs a bit of tinkering as well. Hadn't driven a rm config to know the diff, but mm felt ok. Didnt like the track as there are severe blind spots where you can't see your car at all. In addition, the SC guys were in full force. Are you not supposed to let off the throttle with Sc or what. Clear to see that most of the guys were bashers, which is cool, but vehicle abuse can be costly. I probably won't g back though. Rude dude behind the counter dissing little kids, too many blind spots on the track, and 30 people on the driver stand showing little courtesy.

+1 for the TC5 studs, I use those and some Jconcepts cups and my car is fine now.

Had a good time yest at the Summit R/C raceway for the Summit Summer Shootout.
Sort of a rough day after barely gettin the car together, but promising. I normally run RM4, but didn't have time to switch from RM3. 1st qual had wrong rear tire choice and some self inflicted bobbles. 2nd qual was bad as I had a reciever issue and didn't even start. 3rd was better. Was first overall but another buggy got into as I tried to pass...missed A by 2 sec.
Won B-main to bump.
Went from last to 4th in a couple of laps, but a few issues with forward grip, traffic, and some driver errors got me to down to 9th.
I will convert to RM4. Buggy was great...all the steering I could want, but just needed a bit more forward grip. Track was very low traction towards the end of the day.

Was only trying to separate out the thread because most people here run RM and I didn't want to clutter this up with stuff that doesn't pertain to the majority, not to mention that when you start talking MM, usually people start bashing it.

that is strange I have never had a ball cup pop off in the 4 months I have had my buggy. I drive it about 2 times a week and have ripped a ball stud out of the rear hub and trans case and broke a c hub once but never had a ball cup pop off.

Also I have the desc410r for over a year now and have broken countless arms but never popped off a ball cup.

I think I can shed some light on this as I too used to say the same thing to my friends that were having trouble when I was not. Then out of the blue mine started popping off, and once they started it wouldn't stop. Then I replaced them and started having the problem immediately with the new ones and then again with another new one. I was really frustrated, so I started reading a bunch and figured out a few things:

Don't pop them off ever once you put them on!
Use the hole in the top with a wrench on each side when u r adjusting your camber. Once they have popped off a few times, they r probably going to start popping off all the time.

When you r putting them together for the first time, don't stick a wrench in the holes to hold them in place while you screw the camber link in. I know it is very tempting, but it will stretch them out and then they r junk.

Some have had success with boiling them. So u can try, but I have found it unnecessary.

Lastly, I think there is just a quality control issue with them, because that is the only way I can explain y I had brand new ones keep popping off. So if u get a bad cup, don't fight it just replace it.
