Jebus! People are getting so caught up in the R! Forget the R for a minute!
The facts are these:
*New shipments of the real deal DEX have 2.0mm pins
*TD have made a big deal about it by lazer etching every part 2.0mm.
*Lot's of people have had problems, many people haven't
Some of us who bought one of the first 750 odd of the most expensive and best engineered 1/10 4wd in history are feeling a bit hard done by because when you buy a car like this, that has been developed over years, for this much cash, you don't want 'teething problems'.
The new pin spec that is standard on both models is an admission by TD that the 1.5mm pins are not up to the job or customer expectations. A cost price retrofit would be welcomed by the majority of people who've voted in the poll. The silence of TD on this issue probably means it's not happening.
The computer analogy is flawed. The old pins haven't been superceeded by a new model with newer tech. They have been found faulty and replaced.
If you bought a brand new big car with CVD's that snapped regularly, and then the manufactuer made a running change, but refused to recall or hounour the warrenty on your own car you'd be asking some questions wouldn't you?
