Hi guys,
I'm a newb to 1/10th. I'm thinking of getting the dex210. I've read a few threads and most of them say that this is the most tunable buggy out there. My fear though, is it to tunable for a newb. Can too many changes cause confusion for a newb?
I dont want to waste money and would rather buy right the first time. As iam a newb, just how much torture can this baby handle?
Cheers

With all the tuning parts being in the kit, allows you to spend more on tyres and then spend more time at the track
The car is very durable and the diff stays smooth for a very long time. Had 6 hours of running on the kit diff before flipping the plates around, then run it for another couple of hours before sanding the plates down and fitting new balls.

Id say get it as all the tuning parts are included in the stock kit and with a helpfull bunch that are on here Im sure you can get help you may n.eed
Its a great car out of the box and the stock setup is fine.
But I think a to make your choice have a look around at the local tracks/clubd to what others are running, think about getting a similar car to them as there you will have local knowledge and on track days others will have parts etc to help out if needed.

but if you make 1 change at a time , this buggy is the perfect buggy to learn every aspect of all the tunings options.
Im learning aswell. take your time and do one change on your setup at a time

I need some help.......
I am working on the shocks and the o-ring that goes at the top of the shock and than you put on the cap......When tightening down the cap, it squishes the o-ring out and it will actually come out enough where it is completely exposed (not sealing). If I don't tighten it enough for this to happen, it spins very easily.
No I am not over-tightening, I am doing it by hand and not using any force. The o-rings went on very easily and were hardly tight on the threads. Yes it is pushed all the way down on the threads also.
I have built hundreds of shocks over the years and have never had this problem before. My only idea of why its happening is because the top, inside of the cap is angled in a way that it pushes the o-ring outwards as it compresses.
Thanks

I rec'd my Carbon fiber Akula shock towers today, and when I was removing the stockers, I realized I unknowingly broke my first part, not sure if it happened tonight, or when I was running laps on Wednesday, but there was a hairline crack in the front tower. I am not real impressed with the Akula front tower, as the camber link mount is a little suspect. The ballstud mounts horizontal instead of vertically..Well see..

Regarding the shock cap pushing out the o-ring, first of all, flip the shock cap and you will see there are some residue from the molding process, take a sharp knife and trim it, your problem will go away.

Yeah, it's the middle set of holes and inside ones where the problem rears its ugly head, the angle of the link going back to the hub causes the link to rub the tower. I run in the middle holes, I dont know why they even drilled the inside holes in the thing. And those front cups are gonna take a beating..I may just run the stock tower, until a better design comes out..
