should that sharper edge, face the thrust washer or face the 5x8x2.5mm bearing?

For everyone having problems with the 210 ball cups, you may want to try my solution. I have done this on all 3 of my Durango cars. The JC rear ball cup are a perfect replacement for the bend ones from TD. For this set up, I have use Losi ball cups with HB/HPI ball studs (From the D4, ask for the long one). I have never pop those Losi white ball cups, hope this can help.

Where are you guys putting velcro to hold the body on in the rear? I realized after not putting in the rear post that the chassis is either really low or a gaping space near the rear 
I picked my kit up at the FLGS yesterday, built a fair bit today (still need to do shocks and turnbuckles). A single colour spray bomb and I should be able to race at the season opener this weekend

do i need to shim it more, i have the 0.2 shim in there now, but maybe I should add more?
when looking down into the female outdrive, on the ball bearing side, should the 'prongs' of the snap ring be visible beneath the ball bearing? I'm wondering if those prongs are preventing the male outdrive from completely being seated into the female outdrive.

Not likely. The male outdrive won't go that deep. It goes deep enough to settle into the next bearing.
Make sure your diff rings didn't come off the outdrives. A little diff grease will help hold them in place.

The Dex has better rear tire/forward traction than any of the other buggies I have owned and raced, by a noticeable margin. If you fight tire spin, i.e. rear forward traction is scarce, the Dex is THEE buggy for you. build it in 4 gear/rear motor (RM4), and you will be amazed.
