lol, I have never owned a 210, and probably wont for a long time. A local that normally finishes a lap ahead of me with his b4/tlr 22 picked up a 210 and instantly became lap traffic. That is when his buggy was not broke. I have not seen him in a while, I think the 210 made him quit racing, lol.

They were out of hubs and bellcranks so I will get those at a later date.


Also so far I would have to say they clean up very easily and nice, just kinda got a papertowel wet and wipe it down, cleaned up really good.

they are on ebay. try searching for yaiba. Also, someone said the yaiba red u brace was not (-2mm "shaved"), so if you need that, make sure you verify. Also, if you goto an alum brace, get some Ti studs to help prevent shearing off a stud in the alum brace.

It's not nec. that its better, its just that the b4.2 is better right out of the box. The dex210 has so many tuning options it can take some time to get it dialed in. My friend has one and he hated it in the beginning because it always broke or ballcups kept popping off and it couldn't turn to save its life. After a month or so and time spent on tuning it/upgrading some parts hes really starting to like it.

well according to the locals. The b4 is more nimble, requires less upgrades out of the box (none really), cheaper, more durable (some can be fixed with upgrades on the 210) and easier to find parts for locally. The durango is quite a bit heavier than the B4 and I have seen guys struggle to make jumps in the 17.5 class with the durango for the full 8 minutes. But that is our layout. Some tracks have easier jumps. Durango came out with a plastic chassis to lighten it up, but it seems to break rather easily and requires braces to help it out, thus more upgrades. With the b4 you get a full blown race buggy with out of the box, aside from the ball cups, lol. People say the front arms are weak, well only if you hit pipes, lol.

I am sure it is a good car once you put in a fair amount of time and money. The B4 is very easy to setup. I would like to try the rb6, but it is similar to the 210, you need to buy more stuff right out of the box and at $450, I expect the RB6 to be perfect out of the box, lol.
