Durango DEX210 Thread
#2837
I'm looking to get my first buggy! How would you guys comopare the dex210 to the tlr22 or Ae b4.1. Thoses were the ones i was considering. I'll be running it in the 13.5 class on indoor clay. Thanks

concerning springs .... most AE drivers run rear 1.90 or 2.10 spring sets and front 2.80 or 3.20 ....so some of you say the spring rates are off on the 210 are not really true... the back is really close at 1.85 (light blue) or go to the 2.05( light red)............ The front is a little stiff at 3.50 (dark blue) so a 2.85 (black) or the 2.65 ( light red ) will get you close to the spring rate of a B4.1

Having driven those three, (B4) not a .1, I like the 210 the best, but atm the moment it doesn't turn as well as a B4. I didnt get along with the 22, it had no rear traction on our med bite tracks. The 210 has more rear tractionthan any car I have driven, even after dialing some of it out..

Twitchiest car
Feels fastest
Easiest to work on
Cheapest parts
Hardest to drive
22-
More stable than the B4
Easiest to drive
Not as nimble as others
Worst diff
Not too hard to work on
dex210-
As stable as the 22, but feels fast almost like the B4
Hardest to work on
Parts support is sketchy
Best diff on the planet (once you learn it)
Best shocks

Ok well as of now I dont have any of the other spurs, so with a boosted 17.5 what would you run for a pinion I am gonna go get some tomorrow.

So what is the best setup then? I will look around, What would you all use with a boosted 17.5? spur and pinion?

For some people, as long as the car is good enough, part and setup support is the most important thing when picking a buggy, which would put most of those drivers behind the B4. I myself love being the guy figuring out the setup, and don't mind buying and stocking parts ahead of time, and don't mind a buggy that is harder to setup and work on... so for me, the 210 is better. For somebody brand new to the hobby, I would recommend the B4 before the 210 any day.

Ok I would just like to know about what gearing you people would do for a boosted 17.5.. I dont have a ton of gears so thats why I am asking.
#2849
OK well I run the r10 and crank everything about max, as far as spur gears go I have 83,87,75,69
