Default Durango instruction booklet

I am 3/4 of the way through building my 3rd DEX410 and i have to say that the instruction booklet is the worst booklet ever! So difficult to see the diagrams and the info is so vague. It's really starting to drive me mental! C'mon Durango, take a look at Kyosho, Yokomo, Tamiya etc and get it sorted for future models.

Not sure what the 210 booklet is like but if it's anything like this, i wont be buying one. Couldn't face it again!!

I thought the instruction booklets were pretty good! There's an online version though - i haven't seen it myself but might be worth a look if you're strugglng, might be a bit better..

Default dex410

It's not that i'm struggling as it is my third one i've built. The booklet just drives me mad!! I think they have tried to be clever and make it look fancy but for me it just does'nt work. There needs to be a bit more text in it too.

did you get a V3 dave ? the 210 manual isn't really much different than the 410. But i'd always refer to the online manual, especially for the 210, as there were many changes and corrections made just after the 210 came out. Maybe by the second and third batches, they'll have updated the paper manual in the kits.

If its your 3rd car the it really shouldn't be that hard right? Have they made that many changes to the latest car from the first one?

Na Raymond, just bought a 410r from MB. I'll hop it up as i go. Dont think the v3 has got anything on it worthwhile apart from the wheel hexes maybe.
