Should I wait for VBC Firebolt or buy DEX210V2 now?
Hey all
In a bit of a pickle. Wanting to get an off roader for a bit of fun. Not a serious racer. If anything I'm more in the hobby for building/maintaining the cars rather than the actual racing!
Firebolt DM is out, but not yet at my LHS. Should be soon though. Or I can get a DEX210V2? If the Firebolt wasn't on it's way I would probably have shot for the Durango already.
So ... wait for the VBC or go buy the Durango? Should mention that I already have a VBC Wildfire D06 and love the build quality on it!

Ive had just about every buggy ever lol. And I think the firebolt looks the part for sure. I know its 100% unknown but lookin at the manual its legit. Mid motor only though. But thats ok for me.
If i were pickin, Id wait. But I know waitin is hard lol

Mid motor should be fine where I want to go. I've not been to the place myself but I've been told its fairly high traction indoor clay.
Would really like to see a review of the Firebolt kit though and see what it comes with e.g. does it have coated shock shafts and pins? And also there's no aftermarket bits for it at all (apart from springs) so no extra bling yet.
Will need shorty lipos too as manual suggests Firebolt is short or square pack only.

Thanks for the replies guys. A little surprised by the replies as most things I've read about the Durangos is that they build fairly well and do perform. If I was going to get the DEX210v2, I'd probably upgrade a lot of the parts to aluminium anyways.
I think the decision is made ... Firebolt DM it is. I have enough things going on to keep me busy in the mean time.
