Hmmmm, no good IMO. We all know how well that works for the losi diff's in an e truggy. I believe brushless truggy motors put a lot more stress on the diff's than a nitro motor. The serpent is very nice, besides those 1/10 scale bearings in the diffs......

I was wondering if the DEX408T was a true 8th scale because the length looks like it's 45.5cm, and my Traxxas Rusty is 45cm... WWWHHHHAAATTT??????

I've seen one in person and can confirm it is DEFINITELY 8th scale. Same size as any other truggy on the track.

Are you actually sure that it's a 8th scale? How about compared to the losi 8ight T or the E-revo?

I didnt make a video, sorry. I was in a mad rush to build it, and it was a great build. The dex408t drives exceptionally well. I have not complaints or gripes with the car. I posted upsome pics in the dex408t thread.....

I have a mugen and its the best rc I've ever driven. I broke an a arm once coming off a huge jump going wide open into a tree. When I got the new arms I boiled them and I've haven't had any problems since and it been about a year now.

Was it easy to make to make the DEX408T? How long did the build take? And how about a review video, Symmetricon?

It took roughly 6 hours to build. This is the 3rd durango kit so i wasnt suprised at the complexity of the build. It was a fairly straight forward build, but since durango always has an innovative design, it is a little less intuitive than other builds. The car is definatly a high quality build and design.

I have never done a video review, but i may be fun. I'll se what I can do

It drives very well. Usually when I get a kit and put the box setup on it spend a couple weeks tweaking the setup to get to to handle the way I like to suit my driving style. Well, maybe it just the way truggys are, but it drove so well and did what I wanted it to do with confidence and stability that I didn't find any areas in the setup that I wanted to immediately change. It will take more time to ultimately tell, but it drives really well, in fact so, the best out of the box driving car I have ever driven. I am not however a good durability tester. I dont crash much and when I do its very controlled. Also, since I have only driven it one day I have not found how hard I can push the car. Are you a racer or are you gonna bash with it?
