Giving the car a once over I noticed the outdrives are showing a bit of wear. The RB5 I just sold with 10 times as much run time showed less wear. Has anyone else seen this?

Hmm, I'll have to look at mine when I get back into town. How many runs are on it? I just looked at mine the other day and from what I remember mine looked perfect after about 20 packs through it.

I will say that after 25 packs through my car, that wear on the suspension parts is near non-existent so far on the 210. I've seen Losi22 parts that are worn and loose after one race day (that steering rack is horrible from what I've seen).

One race day, so about 8 to 10 packs. The rest of the car is still tight and slop free.

Well, I did the "first time out thing" and I have to say the car is good, my setup was a bit off, but the car still behaved better than it should have, and every change made good progress. Started out with a on/off steering push, and after 2 heats and the "B" it was getting competitive. Stayed after and ran a few more packs, and after a couple more changes, the car was on pace. Some more fine tuning and I think it'll be golden. Through all this it was still very easy to drive..I found the car very durable, no problems with anything, although I did boil my ball cups, after hearing others have an issue with them popping..never had an issue..

What motor you running? I run Speed Passion which is pretty much the same internally and don't even bother with fan. Ran it with as low as a 8.5 with no issues. Now 4wd is another story.

hi im going to order my dex210 soon and i was wondering what battery i should get because i've been hearing alot of people are running the short packs. the motor set up im going to run is a tekin rs pro with a 8.5t tekin motor. what is the advantage to running the short packs? also what gear set up is a good starting one i run on a tight indoor clay track and a fairly large outdoor clay track. mid motor 4,rear motor 4,rear motor 3, mid motor 3. what are most people running and what would be the best all around set up as far as that goes?
thanks blake

could someone please post where they have carbon fiber shock towers for the rear and on a different note I believe I saw a carbon fiber chasis for the buggy and was curious if anyone has tried it or has an opinion on it.

Short packs make a change in how much the car weights and handles. I prefer to run them in mine after testing back to back. The simple ability to shift the weight of the pack front to back is a huge factor. There are setups on TD's website for both battery types.

I've gone back and forth between RM4 and RM3 and if I need rear grip RM4 is where it's at. If I need steering RM3 provides more.

I came out to SDRC Friday night, down from Washington on vacation, and sat and chatted it up with Patrick for most of the night. SDRC is a great facility, great track, and the people seem great as well. Patrick hooked me up with a huge stack of 210 wheels in black that he didn't want to run... i still need to paypal him.... you were MIA! Maybe next time.

.

+1 I ran the shorty back to back to back against a standard pack and I wont go back to the standard. With the weight of standard packs getting up to the 280-300+ gram range, the 200 gram shorty just makes more sense.
