The 410 is an awesome car and at the current prices is an absolute bargain.

Whether to wait for the next incarnation or not is a tough decision and is entirely down to you, if you are a very good driver then you are probably best waiting for the latest but if you are a club level driver who races casually then the changes to the car will probably be less noticeable than the saving of £150.

That said it's always nice to have the new gear so if you can afford it then get the new car.

Don't forget durango hasn't announced anything yet so we don't know how long it will be until the next car is released.

Thanks Guys,

I have orderd the 410!!

Anny tips for me? I have read that some people say that the bigbor shocks are much better but that is a little to much $$$$ for me at the moment. Any ather tips?
I am thinking to put in my CC 3800 4pole motor in the 410 what do you think??


Thanks for your help

Ronald

Hi Ronald

I haven't got the big bores either, and i don't mis them at the moment...
they are idd very expensive :)

I've got the speed passion 6.5T in the Durango, it's a very nice motor...
Form Castle i don't know thant much...

grtz

What a mess! :lol:

1) Both 410 models are on sale everywhere. This to me clearly is to get rid of all stocks of "old" cars. This does not mean that they are bad cars! It's a very good deal, and there will be a lot of happy customers! Yes, it's always annoying when you've just bought something at full price, just to see it on sale a week later... but that's life. Rather you should be happy for those getting a good deal now. If you can't live with that, you'll just have to wait forever for that ultimate deal... And if shops adverted a coming sale, they'd ONLY sell when having the sale >> bankrupt in no time...

2) As they now make & sell big bore shocks, of course that will be included in the new version kits. And since the manufacturer still have not released any official info they probably have not finalized everything (spec, price, delivery time etc). I'm sure they are doing their best, just be patient.

3) There will always be rumours! Some like it, some don't. I myself was surprised at how secret TLR managed to keep the 22 up to release. But this was an exception, not the rule. You simply cannot critizise Durango for not releasing news because there are rumours. Take a pill & chill... :D

Just ordered one myself, what a bargain! :thumbsup:

If only all manufacturers would do this occasionally! Way to go Durango!

I know why :p

Who told you? The new co-developed Losi/Durango 4WD car is supposed to be a big secret....:lol:

Rob

Just noticed something in a pic from durango news.
Looks like they like the rear gearboxholder, and there is something going on around the servo saver and servo link.
but i cant tell if its just aftermarket parts or something they're testing.
Also what does it say on the ballcups? is it tamiya?

They are Durango ball cups.

It's write "Durango HD" on the ball cups.

At the MB Models shop site

TEAM DURANGO DEX 410 V3 PRO

Predicted Spec

Big Bore Shocks

Plastic Side Guards

Plastic Servo Mount

New Body Design

£261.00

That's about $400 US right?

261.00 EUR = 374.896 USD

EDIT: is this for the dex410R or the dex410?? because if its for the dex410 man that is a great deal.

too bad i just got a DEX410R for 20 bucks cheaper before this update came out....i wonder if Durango would do anything for me.

261 £ = 416 $......still good deal

oh wird the site i went to told me it was 374.896 USD but now when i look at it its 261 UK£ = 418.4091 U.S. dollars

I think it's wrong to suddenly drop the price of a car by so much, it's bad enough the loss of value as soon as you build it now if you want to sell and you have bought at the old price it's vast:thumbdown:.

I don't see why. In any other industry the same principles apply. You can buy a tv, clothing, car, microwave, sofa one day, the next the price is reduced. Why should the rc industry be any different?

I am very curious if we shall be able to upgrade to the new version. I suppose that we will be able. All the options that are for sale the last week seems to be parts of the new version.

To be honest - as long as there is nothing announced on the Team Durango website, why should I guess anything?

Why should I even think about changing anything on my DEX410 when almost the same car in the hands of Jörn Neumann was good enough for vice world champion? Without big bores...

It's even worse for real cars. You loose money the second you drive it off the forecourt

It's pounds sterling, not euros. but still a good price. I think there will be only one version of the DEX in the future. Most 'R' drivers upgrade to a higher spec anyway.

Do you have any information on that, or have you just made it up?

:thumbsup:
couldn't agree more :D

nonetheless .. curious to know what TD has in store as "improvements" or "upgrades" eventhough I'll struggle to open up the wallet ..

As I wrote, that's just what I think. You keep hearing and hearing "Oh my, how expensive is the Durango", although the price is justified considering all the goodies that are included in the package. Sales may increase if the price tag is reduced and comparable to that of the competition. I don't know how the "R" is selling, but the full version was sold out in a second, whereas the "R" is still available. Either the racers are not interested that much in the little brother of the full race vehicle or the remaining stocks are just way bigger.

However, I'm sure we all will find out before long.
Is it time yet?! :D

I'm still wondering why they didn't use big bores at the Euro's. Are they worse than normal bores?

it says right there in the report:

I think it will have saddle lipo's . One in front and one in rear.
When I showed gerd my car like this his eyes lit up and he really liked it.
Maybe.:thumbsup:

Pleased to announce a new version of the 410 soon to be released

So has anyone got anybody spotted it being tested yet? Believe it's due to be released in about 2 months and to have the bigbores as standard!

Hi, new to here so be gentle, I'm getting back into 1/10 off road after a small break (20 years) :) been racing lots of other classes in that time, anyway after doing some research I am going along the 410 route, I want the pro version which as you all know are not available so it seems I have to wait for the V3, I am am a little concerned with how long i may be waiting as it seems strange no one has seen this car in testing and the spec is a highly kept secret, does anyone else not think it's a little strange or are we just going to see a stripped down version of the current car with a few new parts?

I think many have seen this in testing, just didn't know it.

My guess is that it is a "small" update, and that there will be no "R" and "full spec" version, only one. My guess is plastic side pods, big bore shocks, ball diffs, cab forward body. I could be very wrong, though :p

I love this thread.

Why is everyone thinking that there is coming a new one?
Maybe Durango makes a brake for the next 2 years.....

Some driver sitting close to Hupo at the worlds said they saw him maintaining balldiffs during the 4wd event...
If it comes with balldiffs I will go buy myself a Cat SX3 instead. Only race electric indoors anyway.

You can Pre order the v3 from mb at the moment .

As for the spec I have no idea , do you think it would be good if it had the drive shafts like the 1/8 type that they have on the sc and 2wd .

balldriffied
 

strange days indeed , a 511 with geardiff and a v3 with balldiff? Then ill buy a cat too :woot:

i sure hope its not ball diff.

maybe they are just making a ball diff option part. and maybe that is what hupo was using. plus i though Durango was a fan of gear diffs because of there ball diff vs gear diff video :p if that video was real then there should be no reason to go to ball diffs:lol:

They can change whatever they want, I'm happy with the 410 end of. :thumbsup:

Looking at what has been tested you can assume the V3 has a new rear brace, new o/s outer bearing on the rear hubs, new centre CVD's, different shock towers as Durango has reduced the price and obviously big bores as standard.

Everything else is just assumptions and hearsay.

With TD reducing the price of some of the current parts and the out of stock status of others, such as the aluminium front suspension holder, is it going to be difficult getting hold of parts for the current DEX410 in the near future?

I wouldn't think so, they ain't stupid at TD, seems that most new bits tend to fit the older cars.

As for the alloy front suspension holder being out of stock, that'll be cos of all the peeps who just bought an R cheap buying them all:lol: it's not the first time that bit has been out of stock.

I believe that there is going to be just one kit, with the basic (moulded plastic parts) and some updated parts, and everything else will follow as option. The same path as the DEX210. This is the only way to keep the price competitive. The serious racer will choose the options he needs.
