Also, take in consideration that a design can't be best in all conditions on all tracks. I can imagine the HRC works well on high traction tracks like Blue Groove conditions or dry UK Astroturf. However, Dutch and Belgian tracks have way less bite than that and are quite bumpy. Combine that with my decision to drive the DEX210 in mid-motor in all conditions and LRC modifications start to make sense. Since the trend is that tracks are getting smoother and grippier it's not at all unlikely the DEX210 didn't see many miles on low-bite, bumpy tracks - even more so as their team drivers usually drive on high profile events with well prepared tracks.

An example where mods already worked is the amount of rear droop: It's quite limited out of the box (the shock can give much more droop than the chassis allows). After the mod it is not limited by the chassis anymore, but by the shock. It added about 6-8mm of droop I think. It helped a lot, but it's still very snappy on-power like Johny5 mentioned.

So to make it driveable I removed a lot of steering, so at least it then lacks grip on the front and rear. It's a blast drifting through every corner to get around, but it's not the way to go I know I can soften the rear end some more, but it won't be enough. The LRC will (hopefully) give the rear traction the car needs so I can (finally) make the front end more agressive.
Hello Origineelreclamebord,

I would like to drive my Dex210 allso with MM on all tracks here in austria, and we have same conditions on our tracks, like they are bumpy and sometimes with realy less bite.
I've just bougth my dex210 and i'm interested to this rear droop mod, you told.
May you can tell me, how this mod works, or give me a link?
I'm new to 2WD, so it would be very helpful for me.


Thanks in advance
