can someone point me in the right direction.

The stock ones will work but you need to do a few things:

make sure when you are first threading them on that you don't stick anything through the holes of the ballcups(i.e. an allen wrench) and use it to turn the ball cups on. It will stretch them out.

once you snap them on for the first time, never unsnap them. If you need to relocate the ballstud, leave the cup attached.

when you adjust the camber, always put an allen wrench through the holes so that they don't twist off the ballstuds.

If you follow all these suggestions, you will have success using the stock cups. I know it is a pain compared with normal ballcups, but this is what it takes to get these to work. Also, if one starts to pop of more than once, toss it or it will continue to get worse.

I have followed these suggestions given by others here in this forum and all my problems went away.

Associated TC5 ballstuds are what you need to use the JC cups- they have a metric thread pitch, but have the standard AE ball size. I used the JC cups on all of our AE rides and had great luck with them, but still use stockers on our TD cars now.

Does the 210 come with the HD ball cups? I had them on my 410 and never had an issue. If not try the HD ball cups.

Really sitting on the fence trying to decide whether or not to buy this car. I tried the 22 but never quite got it dialed to my liking. The B4.1 was pretty good out of the box, and really good with some minor mods.

I really like the quality of Durango, and even though my local shops do not stock parts, I can order them online in bulk. Recently I have found most of the local shops carry less and less of the most used parts for the B4 and 22 anyway.

So before I pull the trigger, I read several thousand pages on this thread, and based on your suggestions, I will only need a few minor parts to make the car bullet proof.

What are the most common parts to break and what should I stock up on?
Who's set up should I start out with as a baseline for a medium bite, outdoor dirt and clay track? What about indoor clay?

What do you guys do for wheels? Order the Durango wheels, or convert to use the AE wheels?

Nine months on a set of ballcups? I've never had any brand of ball cups last more than 3 months before they bend or start poping off!!!

Nine months??? I'd say just keep using the same brand as they are working good for you.

Ballcups are a consumable in my opinion.
