DEX210V2: When? What Spec/Changes?

[Origineelreclamebord]

Hi everyone,

With the Worlds coming up and the first release DEX210 getting near the age of 2 years, I'm wondering: When will we see a new version of the DEX210? What specs/changes will they implement in that car? And lastly, would a current DEX210 be affordable to upgrade into one?

The reason I'm asking is partly just curiosity, and partly because I need/want to know if I'm retiring my TRF201 asap or better off waiting just a few more months.

Whatever thoughts you have on this or actual confirmed information you have, please share it

I suspect it will be a dex210 with rear mounted shocks, new tranny case (2 ballstud locations) new ball cup plastic so they don't cause issues for some, +8mm pec B chassis (alloy is unlikely IMO) possibly raised wing mounts, possibly a LRC option, probably stronger rear tower, possibly more

Interesting stuff you mention on the higher wing mount and rear mounted shocks - what advantages does this give?

I think the spec will be:
- DIMEC Spec B +8mm chassis with new spec hangers.
- Cab Forward DIMEC Bodyshell (though I'm hoping for something more true to Durango's usual styling).
- Gear casing with two roll center options and the shock tower mount 1mm offset from the old position to prevent the 'usual' shock tower breakage.
- Beefed up plastic steering plate (with aluminium remaining optional).
- Long ball diff outdrives (currently optional, they make the diff as wide as the gear diff from end to end of the outdrives).
- Piston options in the kit range between amount of holes, not hole sizes.
- Insert for 25 degree caster option included.
- New version HD Ball cups.

In honesty I dont see a V2 as yet for some time. Yep the car has had some optional upgrades released but it is still a major player in it's current state.

I can see more option parts on the horizon, but as for a full V2 kit, perhaps we might not see anything for another year yet (but given what we have now, that isnt an issue)

With MB selling the 210 kits at £124.95, I'd be very surprised if a V2 isn't imminent.

Same happened before the 410v3 came out

And its getting very difficult to keep my finger off the button for a DESC210.......

It indeed wouldn't be too convincing if they'd claim they found a way to make it over 30GBP cheaper just like that

Anyway, it's exactly the kind of offer I needed to justify buying a kit! Thanks for sharing I'm now even more curious though what a V2 might be like, but I'm sure a new version would cost 180-200GBP again.
