Hi Guys

Been searching for some technical answers around the DEX410

What are the piston hole sizes in the kit?

what is the internal drive ratio?

[Adam Skelding]

Both pistons are 1.2mm holes (Just 3 hole and 2 hole).

Internal ratio: 2.47:1

Do you know the spring rates against the part numbers Adam?

Are the shock their own or is it actually some other brand?

The shocks are Durango's own brand, they are not made by anyone else.

I had the first run of mine last night, indoors on a polished wooden floor. And after a couple of tweeks got a car I could really attack with.

I did notice the slipper adjustment nut was rubbing on the battery strap, and had actually worn a groove round it. On closer inspection I worked out that the peice of foam supplied to put between the Lipo's was pushing the packs too far apart. This was actually pushing the front retaining strap up, due to the chamfer where it meets the top of the pack.

The solution was to remove the foam and replace it with a smaller peice but between the front lipo and the front retaining strap. Essentially the lipos butt together and are pushed towards the back of the car. I was using the Demon 4200's.

I am also using 0.7mm shims on the rear suspension to provide free movement.

Personally I added some washers:

I can see why on the steering maxoo, but why on the rear shafts?? Even at full droop mine haven't popped out.(YET)ha ha
Have you done the sexy massami shell yet???

possibly to remove end float, on the shaft, Andy?

I added rear shims, because if I didn't use these, the "WHEEL CONE REAR" moved a lot, the axle is a little too long

Of course a "sexy Masami body shell" !!!

Anybody considering useing GHEA pistons in the dampers?

[jimmy]

I considered it and even screwed them onto the shaft during the review to see if they would fit. I didn't try them though so I'm not sure if they work or not.
