Just read this in the news section on the td site
The ground breaking new DEX210 2WD electric off roader from Team Durango is about to start shipping and for those eagerly awaiting their new buggies we’ve released the DEX210 kit page with plenty of high resolution images to help whet the appetite a little.

:DIt's coming it's coming:D

jonathan may 04-10-2011 07:20 PM

sheddy 04-10-2011 07:21 PM

Try MB Models mate, they had 5 left for order as of yesterday and where the first to get the batches of the DEX410v3 out so hopefully the same with the DEX210 :thumbsup:

steve73 04-10-2011 07:31 PM

I'm really looking forward if i get the DEX 210 first or my iPhone 4S....:D

sheddy 04-10-2011 07:41 PM

TonyM 05-10-2011 01:39 PM

Gutted - I've just been informed my MB that the kits won't be available until next week now.

Andrew Twigger 05-10-2011 02:01 PM

Disappointing news indeed, but as said would rather they're right first time.

Borrowed Cougar for Sunday then :(

mikeyscott 05-10-2011 02:03 PM

Think i will have to make my v3 build last to relieve the pain:eh?:

jonathan may 05-10-2011 02:24 PM

No racing for me this weekend :(

mattybucks 05-10-2011 02:28 PM

Sorry Guys. As soon as the kits are on the way to me I'll let you know.

MarkLeeds 05-10-2011 04:27 PM

Coming back to racing after long time out, looks like I will be using old B4, old brushed motor and esc at worksop this weekend :lol::lol:

Robocop 05-10-2011 04:32 PM

So that means two kits to build next week now then

jonathan may 05-10-2011 04:36 PM

mikeyscott 05-10-2011 05:25 PM

At least gives me time to get a few more things together.

Saw Neil at RW Racing tonight and he's getting me some 87 spur gears together and a couple of others :thumbsup:

steve73 05-10-2011 07:46 PM

maalcari 05-10-2011 09:29 PM

Aran 05-10-2011 10:31 PM

Do we know if there's a specific reason for the delay :)

sunbeam 06-10-2011 10:34 AM

This is funny, I've been reading along with you all.

I've been flying 50 sized 3D nitro heli's (and others) for years, and this 'delay thing' happens ALL the time, including people saying I can't fly until this new model comes out !

You can read of people hearing about the next best thing, selling everything they have in readiness, then waiting for months or years for this next 'best' model to be on sale.

One manufacture took nearly 3 years to come to the market, and all they kept saying was 'very soon'. It became a big joke in the end. The model took so long to come out that all the things that made it great (on paper) were out of date by the time it hit the shops. When it did become available, it was found NOT to be the best thing ever by some, but just another nice heli !

It was very funny to read about the people that had sold off all there gear and had nothing to fly, thinking it was only another two weeks to go. What was funnier was reading of the people that had bought brand new gear costing about £1500 ready for this new air frame. Only to find the model took so long to come out that all the warranty had passed on there 'new' gear !!!

There was endless speculation of release dates, by shops and people that thought they were 'in the know'. The forums were spitting nails for month after month and FULL of flyer's saying "I have nothing to fly until this model comes out" !!

I don't understand ?

Why didn't these people just keep what they had until the newer model was on there table, built, THEN swap over all the bits or buy the new stuff at that point. All the old gear, if it needed to go, could then be sold off and get some money back ! That way, they could keep flying.

( or racing, if you get my meaning ? )

Big G 06-10-2011 10:52 AM

can't say I've sold anything in preparation for the DEX210. All I did was buy a 2nd speedo, receiver and PT :)

I plan to replace my 2010 spec DEX410 with a DEX410v3 when I can, but I still have my 2010 spec car and I'll keep it until I have my v3 built and ready to race :)

MikePimlott 06-10-2011 11:13 AM

I sold my left arm to buy and race this car. Hope that works out :lol:

Maybe they couldn't afford to and wanted to get the money first?

The above quote has never been a problematic issue in 10th off-road racing in my experience.. Durango have been good at keeping people up to date.

What has been evident though recently is some other rc companies not keeping their prospective customers up to date and numerous early orders cancelled. If a problem crops up that delays the release of a product the feeling and comments i've heard from racers is just let them know! Its more unlikely that orders will be cancelled if they know whats happening even if its going to take longer. - Keeping people hanging on just leads to frustration and they'll probably look elsewhere!

sunbeam 06-10-2011 01:09 PM

I must admit to being interested in this new car :)

If it turns out to be something great, I may get one and ditch my Cougar SV. But I'll stick with the Schumacher until the DEX210 has proved it's self.

I got all cought up in the 22 when that first came out. I've, (as in personally) not talked to anybody yet that has said thier 22 is fully sorted and are 100% happy. I sold mine before it got to the track and happy I did.

My SV (bought to replace the 22) is a very nice car to drive and relable, but this DEX210 also looks nice :D

I'm watching with interest :)
