I like it! I can see if they were a little upset when the 22 was launched. many comparisons can be had. I don't understand the left side spur gear in the rear motor layout and the weird layout of the slipper adjustment. Overall I like it.
Edit: It looks like you can run the motor left or right in the rear motor configuration. Also, they have the bearings in the front wheels and not in the hubs. a little disappointed in that.

Consider that buggy bought once they hit the stores, looks very nice!

Does not resemble the Ifmar car with some key components.: Arms, carbon shocktowers, Carbon chassis. Alum braces.
When will the Production car start hitting the races?

is the gear diff the preferable option? And would it be the same diff as the dex410 series?

The next generation of 2WD is here – the Team Durango DEX210. We released a teaser but now we’d like to announce a few details and show some more detailed photos.
- 3 or 4 gear configuration in both rear and mid layouts – with the same gearbox*.
· Aluminium Chassis plate with moulded composite side plates
· Moulded composite shock towers
· Big Bore shocks
· Aluminium FF and RR suspension blocks
· Accepts stick or saddle pack battery in both mid and rear motor configurations
· One body for both mid and rear configurations
· Front end – Adjustable wheelbase, axle trail, caster, camber, toe angle in the kit
· Rear end – Adjustable wheelbase, hub toe angle, camber in the kit
· Dual pad slipper clutch
· Droop screws front and rear
· Captured CVD pins and over-size hub bearings
· Ball Diff as standard. Gear diff will be available as an option

I think the ball diff would be the preferred choice. Gear diffs seem to work better in 4wd where you have both front and rear counteracting and balancing each other. 2WD seems to "diff out". I just don't understand the slipper adjustment sticking out the opposite side like a Schumacher.

I know at my local track, gear diffs are the diff of choice for a number of reasons. The big ones are simplicity (fill it with oil and it's ready to go, should feel near the same for a long period until the oil breaks down... ball diff if the screw backs out a bit, you get loose) and ability to hold a load. We had a few guys with "barking" ball diffs. Especially with lower motors, the diff will act correctly for the action, but it's too loose to keep the high torque BL motors from causing them to slip, galling the pads.

I agree it would be good to see some results with this car. I can understand the team guys wanting to race the prototypes at the worlds because it was a car they knew.
The whole point of a 3/4 gear gearbox is that you can get correct motor rotation to properly control the flight of the car. So it's kind of weird they took photos of the car with the motor on the "wrong" side for a rear motor car...
