Cheers Diesel and Tom
Like i said i am having trouble with the rear weight on the new dex410
i personaly think the rear is too light but to weight it correctly the car ends up much heavier
We have been playing with the weight on the dex410 car and with the new inboard copper weights and the rear durango option one removed ,the car was 100 percent better but heavy for my stock racing...but it made my car less scittish,and less aggressive the also exited corners much quicker and had a quicker change of direction (no pendulum)..jumped better...basically better everywhere
I have been testing the dex410 side by side with the original durango prototype
and for me the original drives much better and i was up 2 laps with it ( brushed radio install and cells nims)
so i have put the old car and new on some corner scales and weighted the dex closer to the original and bingo much quicker

the 410 mid is early days yet but looks very promising
hope this all made sense ( rushing)
feel free to ask more questions i probably have missed lots out
regards
Scott

We will put it on our Integy corner weight machine and post up the details.

I think Scott has done a cracking job on this chassis, this was hand cut, counter sunk and anodised at a home workshop! The quality if his work is ace with every bolt hole lining up first time!

If there is enough interest and it handles well it could go into production, watch this space.........
