CAT SX2 vs. Durango DEX410

[Chris119]

I have the Dex410 now and have already switched to the Cougar for 2wd class.
Does anyone have experience driving both the Cat2 and Durango Dex410. I think the Durango is a great car minus the Diffs being crap, however I am considering trading it for the Cat2 so I can stick mostly to one brand and also not sound like a diesel truck doing laps would be quite nice .

the cat is less likely to become a 3 wheeler half way through a race!! hehe

I ran the DEX410 for most of last years Nationals and Regionals, this year i have changed to the CAT SXII, and i have to say, what a difference!!

The CAT is so more drivable, it's almost as though you can feel what the car is going to do and it is far more forgiving than the Durango. For me i found the Durango too aggressive, you push it just a little more than it likes and it rips your head off lol don't get me wrong i'm not slagging the 410 off it is a good car, stick one of these on a grass track and there unbelievable! it's personal preference really and for me i think i can better my results with the CAT.

I think i did the right thing changing to the CAT as i think (for my driving style) it's far better suited to me.

haha, no it's not me (I drive a cat) but I saw that happen, and I saw another 3 wheeler on the same day and the driver decided to keep going! (quite well as it happens?!?!)

I lost a wheel 3 times in 3 rounds at the first meeting of the year day over! lol

and that was using the serrated wheel nuts
