Extremely important build tips!
All,
I just bought myself a (scarcely) used DEX410 and I feel I have to share a couple of tips I found when going through the car checking the condition of things.
I have seen mentioned both on oople and on another forum that the drivetrain does not run smooth and that motors run hot, short run times and so on.
One of the most crucial things to make sure you get right is the shimming of the differentials...
On the plastic case side the shim should be 0.2mm and on the spur side it should be 0.1mm. If you do not pay attention to this you will get the diff 1/10th of a mm to close to the pinion and this is enough for the drivetrain to bind heavily, make noise, cause gear damage and so on.
