Build tips...

I am getting a Dx410R tonight and wondered if anyone had any build tips ?


I have built a fair few kits before and i know there are little tips and tricks to stop stuff falling apart later !

Main things are to make sure you use thread lock on all screws that go into aluminium parts, seal your diffs up with grease or even better waterproof grease.

Yes, get rid of the yellow wheels. What a dirty trick that is, TD!

Yeah I'm not happy that they advertise it with White wheels and give you yellow !!!!
Also in the advert it shows the car working minipins which ain't in my kit !!!!!

If you look at the photo gallery for thr 'R' kit it has yellow wheels.

Some people prefer white and some prefer yellow so theres no way of pleasing everyone.

In regards to the tyres, minipins are made by schumacher so TD would have to buy them to include them in the kits. Its very rare for any kits to include tyres as there sold worldwide, so most people would throw away the tyres if there not suited to the tracks they race on.

When you buy a B4 you get proline tyres, mine went in the bin as we dont race on dirt in the UK. what a waste lol.

Built mine, then trimmed out the clear body...

Initially I thought i'd cut it short. i.e it doesn't seem deep enough when it's on the car. Then I looked at a few others and it seems it's normal... is it ?

Do some people trim the body lower then the guide marks for extra 'depth' ?

Hi Andy,

youve not cut it short, when you cut the body along the lines it doesnt sit that deep when its on the car, but this is not a problem. Mine is cut along the lines and i use velcro whith no problems.

Some people do choose to trim the body lower but its not essential.

Ha! it did look like a bit of a moan/rant reading it from a third parties point of view.

the kit does look sweet and for the price its a bargain, even with yellow wheels! lol.
