Difference in DEX410???

[atsang]

Hi guys...

Looking into a dex410 and have been trying to figure out what is the main advantages to buy the DEX410 V3 and the DEX410 R V3???

Cheers Guys!!!

With the V3 you get the big bore shocks for starters.

Love to know the difference too, as I am thinking of a 410 to use as a racer as my EXO is chronically broken.

I've read the propaganda on Durango's site and can see the difference, but the question for my is: is the extra cash/quality needed?

What's the difference in durability and performance from the upgraded parts? Which would you buy of the v3's and why?

If I was looking to replace my '09 car, I'd get the V3, for just a few quid more you get the big bore shocks, alloy suspension hangers, carbon shock towers, plus the Khuler shell.

As John states u get all the alloy braces. The plastic ones on the 410r snap VERY easily with minimal contact. Those parts alone would set u back £50. And are in most racers opinions considered essential!!
The big bore shocks transformed my car. The rest of the hop ups are just a bonus but the extra cash spend on the 410v3 is well worth it. If u buy the r u will def upgrade some of the parts and spend more than u would just buying a v3!!

Like Steve said ^^^

I'd go for a V3, previously the original 2010 was so much more expensive than the R but there was no performance difference so it was difficult to justify the price tag. The V3 is cracking value and for what you get got the extra £70 the R seems pointless unless you're using it to rebuild a tired 410.

The big bores aren't necessary as look at Jorn's car, it doesn't have bog bores and it doesn't have the new motor mount. To be honest it looks like a 2010 with the new shock towers and rear wishbone hanger so getting a used one isn't a bad idea.

The plastic blocks don't snap easily, I replaced the plastic front block with a alloy one and all the rest are the original plastic blocks. I've had some nasty crashes, tweaked the chassis and still they haven't broke. If you break a plastic block then its obvious you deserved it.
