410
1) The rear gearbox inserts are plastic on the 410 but Durango have beefed up the rear bulkhead so might be ok.
2) The shock preload nuts are plastic so you'll need alloy ones the plastic ones don't have an o-ring so the can move too easily (could probably use the power of thought or wind to adjust them).
3) They've changed the o-rings in the shock bottoms so they leak (replace with Tamiya ones on both cars).
4) Ballcups are still pants, get HPI/3Racing balls and Losi rigid cups mine still have no play after 2 seasons and the standard cups with the kits are like wizards sleeves!
5) The drive hexes are plastic, change them to alloy ones.
210
1) Alloy / Carbon steering plate, the kit one looks very weak. I did even fit mine.
2) Shock preload nuts, reason as per 410.
3) Shock o-rings, reason as per 410.
