Hi

Just to let you know i went to a shorty in the dex210 and dex 410

Both save me over 100 grams in weight which gets me nearer to the min weight.
I have chosen the lighter = faster option and found it much easier to drive

In the 210 i have both battery blocks in brass aswell as the rf hanger in brass 3/3
The battery is 22mm from the brass front block filled with foam spacers.
Gear diff and shocks reversed with hole drilled in rear arm therefore keeping droop adjustment.
The car has loads of steering and plenty of rear grip and rotates in the corners easily

The 410 has the rear brass weight ctr and sides.
otherwise std

Car turns well and balance is great.


we run on indoor astro so i have adjusted the oils softer to allow for lighter cars and works brilliant
I run 10.5t blinky mode and in corners can keep up with some MODIFIEDS

Hope that helps
