Hello All,

I'm interested to work out more what the deal is here.

Is the perceived problem with 'spec' or with 'quality'?

There also seems to be a big spread between people who really liked the kit, and people that really didn't like the kit, I'm keen to work out how there can be such a broad spread of opinion.

Other than mistakes in the manual which have been corrected for the online version and all future prints, what else is wrong with the manual? how would you have liked it to be better?
The way the current TD manuals work is that they are an assembly instruction manual, they are not a build guide, we use our Team Tech Tips section of our website where we can be far more content rich and go into more details of the process and techniques to building stuff.

Just so everyone knows for sure, the DEX210 project was BEFORE the Hobbico/Great Planes deal.

I'm also slightly confused by people saying they would happily pay more for the kit if it had a better specification... whats the difference between this and just buying the option parts?

I'm interested to hear everyone's feedback, TD always try and produce the best cars possible (certainly for quality) and also want the spec affordable to the broadest range of people and that is a race winner right out of the box.

and in my opinion, the DEX210 IS that... I ran a box stock DEX210 with optional gear diff (because I gave away my Ball Diff to another driver) - the ball diff might have actually been better at that track!
I ran the KIT springs, KIT pistons.

Thanks
