Im a beginner and thought this build was great, and reading what you wrote it doesn't sound like you read this thread at all, maybe jumped in near the end.
Manual use the online one
I also got an extra bag or two with the parts that were missing
Grease I got both the green and white pot
C Clip I just filed down a pair of long nose pliers it works a treat
Im not really happy with having to change rims but I do prefer the hexes to pins maybe no need for 14mm hexes but they have to make money as well
Take a deep breath, Read the thread then drive it, its a great car

Well, I've nearly finished the build. Just gotta do the shocks. Now, about that.. The online manual AND the boxed version are both wrong when it comes to the part numbers they are listing for building the shocks.. Now, yeah, I've built plenty of cars, and yeah I can see what parts I really need.. But that's not the point. It's wrong plain and simple.. I'm a bit disappointed to be honest.. It doesn't give me faith that other stages of the build are right now either.. What if we are supposed to use 2 shims instead the stated 3 for example? I haven't built a car this wrong in a long time.. It seems TD's morals lie in the 1/8th scale arena and the 1/10th is just to compete in the market.. Why not put the same effort in to the 1/10th also? Also whats with the little shock parts? I have tiny pistons and tiny preload screw downs. If TD want to "make money" they should stop making parts and shipping them out for a TRF416 instead of putting them in the dex210 box . Anyway, I'll race it tomorrow in the RM 3 gear style and see how it goes..

The small pistons are for the 410 small bore shocks they are just on the parts tree, and the screw is for the bleeder cap, you'll love that, a lot easier to build with bleeders.
I like what TD are doing, they have amended the manual and give nice updates with vids to help with building and running.

Try Bugle Boy Racing (website is temporarily down atm ; PM Bugle)
Fit is ace and includes a front bumper.
8racing also does a neat carbon chassis. I can't give any feedback as I haven't had enough track time yet thanks to all the rain here lately in Oz (La Niña)

Guys I just purchased a DEX210. I am looking foward to running it. I have the Diggity towers and brace, Racers Edge rack, and SC10 gear diff just as a option for now. I am wiring and setting up my car for the weekend. Can someone put me in the right direction for a base setup. Clay HIGH grip indoor RM3, thanks in advance,. On a side note, are the spring kits neccessary? Or the essential two or three pairs. And also, where can I find the alloy foward rear hinge pin holder?
Sup Bud. I've had good success using this to start with. Only change I've made was adding 3/4 oz. inside front bulkehead. Losi 35 front/30 rear, 1.3 x 4 pistons all around.
Don't forget the JConcepts Gold Barcodes's. V2's in rear....yeah shameless plug. Use AKA red inserts for rear.
Don't really need spring kit unless you plan on getting the DEX410 V3 too! lol

Yeah, I did read the first 20 or so pages back when the car wasn't out everywhere yet, but to my surprise today its up to page 90 or so, so yeah I didn't read the thread, just posted my thoughts..

The only short comings in the build I found, was a lack of description on putting together the diff. They were not specific on the thrust washers, or the circlip.... but that shouldn't of gotten you as it has been discussed ad nauseam, here in this thread.
Perhaps you are new to building kits, I don't know...but if so, it would make sense as this is NOT an easy build for a new kit builder. Anybody with a few kits under their belt should have zero issues, as long as you come here for information on the diff

I wasn't being obtuse ( )... What he said literally doesn't make sense. And considering he was stating that an undertray is "too much bling"... I couldn't even infer what he might actually be talking about. All I said is that they should include an undertray for a carbon chassis... that's it.

The only thing wrong in the instruction manual I found was in regaurds to the two plastic washers that sit on top of the front rear toe block. Other than that, piece of cake. This is only my 3rd kit I have put together, so I would hardly call myself experienced, as far as building different brand kits goes.
I was really impressed with the build... no slop in the front end, none!
