Loose 100 gramms from your dex210/ 410

Hi all

just fitted a hardcase roar approved shorty pack to the cars and weighed them

they are 100 gramms lighter giving you much more flexability with battery weight position
Also the extra room it creates means weights can be added if you require precisely

Maybe this is a dumb question or I dont understand fully, but whats the point of dropping 100g of weight from your battery only to add it back on with weights?

Don't think that's a dumb question at all. I run a shorty battery so I can adjust and prioritize where I want the weight to be in my car. Instead of being forced to have an extra 100 grams at the center of the car. I now can move 58 grams to the very front of the car with Cream's brass bulkhead for more steering, without having to resort to softer springs and it also helps keep the nose down in flight. I added 28 grams to the right side pod where my reciever sits to offset my tekin rs 56 grams of weight on the opposite

All in all a shorty pack is by far one of the best "upgrades" for this car in my opinion.

Has anyone tried a "light" setup that works without adding any weights?

Yeah, why is it most Durango 410s are run with so much added weight? Is it because it lacks rear end grip?

[Fernandez]

all depends on griplevel and surface.

dex210

when I drive on high grip surface, I can drive with a shorty.
when I drive on low grip surface, I need a full size stickpack

Yes, 410's do lack rear grip. Not a problem on astro, but on loose dirt this car struggles. Could be the gear diffs though.......
