Dex210 handling

[markymark6183]

Hi guys,
Need some advice ! Yesterday I raced my 210 for the first time indoors it was 50% wood 50% carpet, I was running everything kit no hop ups with 35 oil all round !! Tyres were new mini pins all round !! Now on the carpet she was gripping like she was on rails but soon as it hit the wood you would steer and have to wait a pretty long time for it to turn in, there was just no grip ! So I got some help and advice from one of the guys there and got a lot better camber and I tried staggers at the front !! This solved the issue on the wood but I lost a lot of grip on the carpet

Any advice on how to keep the amazing grip on the carpet put also keep it on the wood aswell, i.e springs, oils, anything really. All the other guys were running pins all round and it looked like they your on rails.

Thanks in advance

You'll find the mini-pins will get better once they've bedded in on the rear. Keep the cut staggers up front too.

I had almost the same problems.
New car, minipins in the back and cut staggers up in front.
On carpet everything was on rails. Super easy to drive and fast.
On the plywood jumps it wasn't so awesome.
Hard to jump with lots of nosedive or maybe I'm just used to 4WD

They're hard work setup wise. What kept catching me out was I found I had to change the setup week after week even though it was the same surface. I was always chasing the setup it got annoying in the end instead of racing it so I got a Bmax2 now I'm extremely happy.

Your the 2nd person today that's said get a bmax 2 !! Are they easy to set up ?

Might be worth trying some Schumacher Venom88's? They are slick cut with grooves which DEX210's can use on the rear. They work well on carpet and should work equally well on wood floor. May need some additive to give full grip on carpet and wood floor.

Hope this helps
