guy at my local track said the 210 will be discontinued because of durango's new line?
think they will stop producing 210 parts? i see the bulldog body has already been discontinued..

There has to be a new buggy coming but I believe it will be a version 2 with just a few upgraded parts. Even if its a whole new buggy they will continue to produce 210 parts for a long while.

It is in fact a dex210v2 that is expected to be available late February, too late for Motorama 
The new dex410v4 is expected late December, I'll have to look into the SC and st.

Did a shock trick that worked well. I drilled out some shock pistons with a #30 drill bit and put them on the bottom of the shocks to limit travel. It helped to stabilize the buggy, and stopped excess air from getting in the shocks. I do not like it when shock pistons come up to high and leave the shock body. This is a negative situation that will just cause problems. I like the piston to stop just before the top of the travel in the shock body, not in the cap like mine were.

Here ya go! Setup is dialed!

Also I wonder why you've turned your shocks around…I've done it but hated how much damage I would take when I'd get rear ended…especially by a short course in practice. Those things destroy little 2 wheelers!
Thanks!

Puts more weight behind the rear axle without adding any extra weight. Should give you more rear traction. I did it too hit also made a slew of other changes last night out so I can't say for sure how effective it was...

I might try it again when I'm not trying to avoid giant trucks...

The wing will save the shocks most of the time. I'm not worried about the rear mounted shocks.

i got mine setup the same except i got my batt. to the front of the servo better turn in and more ballanced when jumping.

If you reversed the arms, I think using using plastic 1 mm washers may be a better solution.

When you flip the shocks to the rear, no droop screw. Now my shocks do not suck up excess air into the oil. I had extra pistons for the small bores that I would never use anyway. I am also using the black stoppers.

I believe you two are talking about two different things. Droop screws are for limiting down-travel. If you don't want your piston entering the cap it is up-travel that should be limited.
I am guessing these blanks are fitted just above the spring perch below the rubber stopper. Right?
