Wow! :woot: Amazing video and a really wonderful insight into the soon to come buggy. It seems that Durango have really gone to town with the quality of their customer interface. Great to see such professional footage. Well done Durango :thumbsup:

Can't wait for mine to arrive :D

+1

I saw this video, and less than an hour later I had ordered one :lol: I just can't help it! It's a must-have car and I'm sure the build will be as much fun as the DEX410, perhaps even more! :thumbsup:

change of heart
 

I know the feeling, I'm sat here drumming my fingers on my desk trying to work out if I should cancel my pre-order on 'another' buggy and switch it to the DEX210 :confused::eh?:...Just as I started to feel that my collection was getting more 'sensible' :lol:

Will B4 / X6 / Cougar wheels fit ? :wub

You'll be able to fit the pin drive rear wheels yes - just like the new 410. The front wheels I'm not sure, they will be metric so AE wheels wont fit?

oop, I should say the pin / washer stuff you need to run the pin-drive wheels isn't in the 210 kit (it IS in the 410v3 kit however) so you'll need to get those bits if you want to adapt the car to run those wheels.

Just sold my B44 so pleeeeeaaasssseeee Durango put us out of our misery :D

As soon as I have conformation there on the way to me I'll let you know mate. I'm so tempted to have one of the kits for myself......must resist.

Go on you know you wanna :D

anybody know if a stick lipo can be used in mid motor configuration.?

Yes, in the video it shows it

it can use stick and saddle packs

thanks. just watched video. thats the car for me.

I missed that bit in the description somehow... Anyway, this release keeps getting better and better! :woot:

Bugger

can,t wait for mine to land on the door step :thumbsup:

I don't think it would take very long before 3/16"" size axles are released, just like with the TRF201 - by either Team Durango in this case or an aftermarket manufacturer :)

Nice video Boss ! :thumbsup:

Only another week to go:wubNow i just have to learn to drive!!!

From what we saw on Sunday you're learning quickly!! Alan too!

i think my 22 is bye bye....i want a 210!!!!!!:thumbsup:

When the traxxas video teams meet the hudy press release team, this is what happens :D

Way too much stuff to tinker with tho, when an 8y-old, bone stock B4 or B4.1 works so well right out of the box... ;) car looks cool nonetheless.

The problem now is Alan wants a 410 as well ,so loads of B4,B44 ,X6, minis all for sale.

This car looks seriously exciting - i want :thumbsup:

After I saw that video I needed a little alone time! That's going to be an awesome car.

I think you don't need to use all the adjustability features to make the car work well. If you don't know what all the adjustments do then you can leave them stock or adjust them like on a proven setup, right? :)

I understand your point though, this unlike the B4 probably indeed has many more setup options than the average basher would use - which is indeed a strength of the B4 (and TRF201) when it comes to the driveability for people who don't need or don't have the feel for all the setup changes, the sales numbers, sales prices perhaps as well and spares availability...

...but not necessarily when it's on the track with a DEX210 :p The thing is, I think the DEX210 won't perform much better than the B4 on tracks the B4 was made for - perhaps in the hands of the best drivers they can get slightly more from the DEX210 as they can fine-tune it even further. However, the real advantage comes for the racer who drives in championships or on several tracks. A B4 just has a limited ability to change it's weight balance or it'll be compromised by the weight you've added, whereas the DEX210 can be set up perfectly to that track as well!

There's just one thing to test: TD's 'claim' that this versatility can be done without lots of rebuilding and additional parts, like the additional gearbox housing on the TLR22.

I know you guy's don't like bad language. But how much.

IIRC £190 ish.
