it looks a little weak in the design, but i have yet to break another. its prob. because i have enough parts to build 1 and 1/2 back up cars. if you dont want to break parts buy two or three hundred dollars is spairs, you'll never need them, works for me every time! now when i dont buy spairs i break all the time!

That was my one complaint about the car, you barely touch the front end wrong and either the servo horn strips or the servo saver breaks....put an alum. horn on and breaks the servo saver right away. Def. the weak link in the car since everything else is so strong. Was afraid to drive the car hard because if I just barely clip a pipe with the front wheels, something broke with the steering.....

Problem in most of the cases is that the people building the car do not make sure they adjust and build everything correctly. DEX is a heavier car thus it will cause more stress to some parts due to it's exceptionell capabilities of corner speed etc. This applies to driveline where people used to lousy slipping ball diffs do not pay attention to the correct setup of the slipper when the fact is that you need to get it right or things break as you have the power and no slip in diffs.
Also the servosaver holds in normal conditions if it's build up and set up correctly. It will break if you crash a lot or generally drive a lot as it's not designed to be "fool proof". Saying "it broke even I did not crash or anything" is most likely BS though. Anyway you can pretty much break everything man made. So pay attention to it and make sure it works as supposed and keep the dirst out of it so you should be just fine.

Ran my Durango for the first time tonight. Made one change from my build setup. Changed the front diff oil to 10K and and the rear camber to -1. First time out with the car and racing 1/10 in months and I was only .4 sec. off the track lap record. A few more changes and the car will be there. But all in all much better than my Kyosho.....

Last i heard was the end of this month for the DEX410R, but they have had some parts suppliers change the parts without consent, so they are having a few delays in the production.
There is no known release date of the 210 as far as I know, as they are still in testing of the design and changing things a lot on that car from event to event. Last thing I saw on it, Honigl was running the car as a rear motor layout, so it seems as though they are a bit further from releasing that car to the market it was originally mid motor). Still way early in the prototype phase on that car.
You'll probably see the DEX408 well before the 2wd car.
