We really need the bulkheads sorely. I did pretty good last night, and she was handling great. Since going to the Traxxas steering links, nothing has come loose, very tough system. The usual screws were trying to come out as always, never ends. Went to a more aggressive rear tire and did very well.

Hi All!
I plan to make a few new front end parts for the DEX410 and wanted to possibly survey your opinions on the steering rack-
If we make an all aluminum steering rack set, should it be with the servo saver or without? 'Without' the servo saver will help reduce the cost, complexity and weight and is what I'm more leaning towards since most wheelers do not have servo savers currently (if needed a plastic servo horn acts as a servo saver)... but I better check with you guys before proceeding!
Servo saver- yeah or nay?

I'm sure I'm not the only one here who is having issues with the rear tower busting at the inner camber link. I am a racer, not a basher. If you could make a nice alum rear tower, with only maybe 6-8 camber locations (not the 12 or 15 it has now), that would be awesome!

alum towers for wheeler bend/tweak too easily imo.

DEX410R Gearing for 8.5t SP motor?
I am having issues with my DEX410 geared 23/84 with 6.5 V3 motor with Reventon Pro running stock0 software with 10% drag and DRRS level 2....after maybe 4 mins buggy slows to a crawl as if Lipo is dead....Temps at esc around 135 motor 120...Yes Over Heat protection is active. Any Idea what is the issue or point me in the right direction as for gearing?

That said, you could also be hitting the speed passion issue, where it just gets hot and conks out. ( no indicator ). I returned under warranty the one that did it to me ( 1 of 6 ).
Also, Drag Brake I find is not great on 4WD, adds heat and draw on they battery.
Try dropping the Voltage Cutout on the Reventon ( 3.0v ) and disabling the heat protect to see if is just gearing. (one at a time
)Good luck.
Also if you have a Android phone, get a copy of the free 'Nor-cal Hobbies Gears' ratio calculator, its great (multiple models saveable, and great ratio charts.

Bezerk RC He's down here in Australia, but postage outgoing for a few towers shouldn't be too much

Maybe your batteries are getting old? When you are driving the car hard, the voltage vill drop for a split second, and after 4 min or so, it drops below 6,4v..

I considered the battery so I ran it in my mod SCT for a qualifier....7 mins no problem..

Which esc are you running and what software and are you running a fan on the esc?

Im also using a fan on the motor and after 10 min of driving its only 63 celsius.
Not sure about the software, but almost max punch and timing plus some boost.
I think the Trackstar motor has a lover kv than most other motors and therefore you can run a higher gearing

Looking at getting this kit.
I'm a basher at heart, but interested in some racing or at least getting in open practice sessions to unwind and get some finesse. The DEX410 seems to be a winner (i'll be honest, V5 will probably be out by the time I actually buy this thing).
So far I have in my amain.com wishlist:
Kit: Team Durango DEX410 V4
ESC: Team Orion Vortex R10.1
I will be running it off my Futaba 4PL radio and Futaba R2104GF receiver.
As far as motor is concerned, i'll probably just run a Team Orion to match the ESC.
Now, what is a good servo? I have usually used Futaba.
