My DEX210 was lacking a lot of rear grip. I was sick of waiting for the V2 and had a limited budget to upgrade the car, so a few months back I started on mods. In the most recent event (on medium grip astroturf) I had the following mods on the car:
- Pistons (4x1.3mm Front, 5x1.3mm Rear).
- Cream 24g Battery Stopper (Rear-Mounted).
- Rear Droop +6mm.
- LRC -2mm RR Hanger (Thanks to the machining work of a friend of mine).
- Exotek RF LRC Hanger (0 degrees Anti-squat).
- V2 Geometry Shock Tower.
In combination with the setup, the car felt absolutely great. It seems the combination of Droop, LRC and Shock Tower vastly reduce the snappy oversteer the DEX210 suffers from out of the box.
For the next event, I FINALLY get to test my custom chassis plate. At my club we drive on low bite, dusty clay, and with the DEX' short wheelbase it was very unforgiving and hard to correct on those surfaces. I constructed the carbon chassis with an extension (+9mm) at the rear in an effort to increase forgiveness, rear flex and rear bite. It should complete the most elementary steps to make the DEX210 platform up to date, and though I don't know yet how it performs... I do really like the looks of it!
In addition to the current mods and the chassis I have some more plans for the rear end that should massively increase the potential of the MM4 layout on low-bite tracks. When I have more updates for you I'll post them!
PS: In case anyone is wondering: The top deck that moves over the motor is indeed not connected with the sidepods - yet. I'm waiting for some 3D printed blocks to come in to complete the chassis conversion.
