DIMEC20 DEX210 Chassis - Has anyone used one yet

[Chris-S]

Looking to improve my 210 in the wet and am looking at the DIMEC20 chassis, has anyone used one yet? As imformation seems a little scarce!

Discostu on here has one on his 210, saw it go indoors and it looked great on track, don't think he's ran it outside yet though...

Looks a good option but you have to use the rango cab forward shell with the dimec chassis

as mark said i used this chassis at round 1 of the offroad wars the car with this chassis had a top three potiential partialy due to flex and partialy due to its length the car was far easier to drive with the plastic than with a +10 alu chassis.

it was a good back to back test at this meeting as i unfortuantly snapped the plastic chassis in round 3 due to a massive head on colision at full speed with a losi 22 also at full speed it was a good testenment to the strength of it

looking at the lap times my round 4 and A final times were just over 0.5sec slower per lap than my round 1&2 times. whicch is why their is a brand new one already straped on the car.

im not overly keen in the body however but it does work very well

Which one are you using? The harder one or the softer more flex one?

Do you really have to use the +8 shell? couldn't you just not use the cut lines up front on say the finisher shell?

Did you find there was any other setup changes from the stock chassis?

[discostu]

I used the rtr chassis (soft plastic)

yes you do have to use the shell as the side pods are a different shape

and yes you would have to change the setup after round 4 i increased the front and rear oil by 2.5wt to compinsate for the extra weight i found with the alu chassis the car would feel lazy to change direction.

however there is no reason the original chassis or a alu +8mm to be any slower as jorn is proving as we speak he is running a +8mm today.

ive ran the rtr chassis on wet astro 2day . didnt change setup just changed the chassis and put new ballistic greens on.
i felt that it smothened the steering out without loosing grip,
flown better over jumps and slightly better traction.
i had the the battery stop at the back also .
