Really dont understand why they didn't make the DIMEC chassis fit the old body, saves making moulds for a new body!

you know they will its one of the best buggys itll take a bit but im sure they are already working on something possibly waiting for the competition to release so they can make a few changes so they dont look to much alike lol

I have a shorty servo in mine, but i dont think its absolutely necessary..I haven't run MM though, so I cant comment if its needed for that config..Take your time on the build, and use the online manual from Team Durango website, there were a few errors in the included manual. Also view the diff build page while you are there, it helped quite a bit if you have never built a 210 diff before..

Appreciate your advice as always, and thanks again for the awesome support on the chassis.
THats not a bad idea if it works, then you might be able to tighten those housing screws a little more. Or replace the shims with 1/8 flywheel shims maybe?

I did once put those small black washers you get in the kit in between the two halves, not great as it leaves a gap but I could tighten it pretty good.

Got to try the RTR 210 yesterday. Put some 4 hole pistons, fluid in the diff and race tires. Most of the setup was spot on. Put my radio in but everything else was rtr. It was very good. Im impressed. Drove like a proper race car!

Guys, whoever is on the east coast, and going to get hit by this storm, be safe. I live right on the water in CT. We are going to get pounded..

How are you liking the DEX210? I enjoy mine in Hutch. I have not tried the MM setup yet. You like it over the Rear Motor?

I posted mine a page back. Here is a link to the track layout I ran on to give you an idea.
