Is it a good car? Are you happy with it?
If there was another 4wd what would you choose?

thanks

You already know my answers.
Can try out the battery next time we are both at the club.

The best ever.

I moved from a B44 over a year ago and, due to Rango’s superior quality, the lower cost of maintenance alone is a big reason to buy. On top of that I’d always want geared rather than balled diffs.

It is a really good car, glad i bought it and for the money really you cant complain.
If you search the 'show me your 410' thread someone has a Losi stubby in his with some brass eiter side of the pack.

What do you think? look at nationals and worlds results....

ive come back in to racing after a long break and bought a 410r, it was false economy, you need the alloy wishbone holders i broke the ff one after 3 heats, them alone are 40 quid, and when you consider the big bore shocks are 100 quid the new v3 at 260 looks good value, the new shell with more room is also worth its weight in gold, it is worth buying the front and rear bulk heads as spares too,
so in my humble opinion go for the v3 the old r version is false economy [ i bought a v3 aswell in the end

as regards to choice go for what you want to buy they are all similar same size and dementions with rubber boots at each corner ! ive seen brilliant drivers with 410 b44 tamiya or schumacher

Find me a national where it's won or been in the top 3 this year?

Jorn is just special re the worlds and Euros.

Erm, Stotfold National in the hands of Nathan Waters, he finished 3rd. Just check how many were in the top 40 of the championship....

I'm not disputing how many in the national field and cheers for the clarification.

Most popular 4WD car at TORCH too.

not forgetting top F4 national

In 2010 I ran a SX2 and B44. In the mid-west I put in 2C's and 2D's - F4
In 2011 I ran a DEX410. I put in 4B's and a C. - F2

You could credit it purely down to me getting better, but it has to be partly the car also to go up 2 grades.

Yes. That's what i first used in my 410. But i would not recommend it, i've switched to saddle. The 3800 battery struggle with the high current the 4wd need. Both my Losi batteries lived a hard life.
But it's sure a neat install

Yep can vouch for this car, you won't be disappointed if you like a car that has a direct feel to it

If you went down the R route, you don't necessarily have to start changing the pivot blocks to alloy straight away. If you chose to, wait until the rear pivot block is available with the inserts then you will have the anti squat options. Only thing I would say is as well as a spares package, if you are running out doors get some of the rubber shock & drivetrain boots.
