Some Info needed if your kind enough!

Hey guys,

Long story short.. im planning on getting a DEX410R.. in the next month or so.
I have a fellow 1/8th racing buddy, who has the DEX410 and wiped the floor in stability with my B44 a while back. And im now looking at getting a DEX410-and the R seems a sensible route.. with it being more of a winter toy/2nd class.

What are any (Needs) for the buggy R version... I hear the Alu hinge pin holders are good to use-stronger.. ect...
And that replacing stock ballcups with RPM too-Stonger and stops thread jumping.

Are there any other things.. to help it I want to keep costs to a minimum on it.. I have my eye on a DEX410R on bay hardly used with Alu holders..
So just wanting some advice from you Durango experts! thanks a lot guys

sorry for the annoying questions!

[wacattack]

All I've found the need to upgrade are the alloy hinge pin holders and the shock boots. Everything else is standard and thats probably how I'll keep it

[jamiekerr14]

Brilliant! Yeah-forgot about the boots.. they are needed specially for some outdoor racing. Thanks a lot for your reply!

[mikeyscott]

Pretty much what I have ordered on mine.

I ordered the rear skid weight, but not sure if it's money well spent yet as I haven't run the car yet.

[jamiekerr14]

Yeah.. I think will keep it simple for now! haha -Once I get it running will be back down TORCH Mike! this time hopefully for a while!

Who's is it you've seen, Tony's or Grant's?

Need some help at the track v shortly.

[jamiekerr14]

Um.. well grant's ages ago when still had my B44- Durango was a lot more planted and stable.. in comparison. And looked over at his a fair bit and talked about it. Briefly seen tony's just after he got it.. Do like the B44 for parts support, but been there done that as they say haha.. Ok.. will try come down when I can. Currently have a busy few weeks ahead at uni. Plus got loads of track work ect at Clanfield.. so got some work parties soon.. as well..

[mikeyscott]

Taken over Clanfield?

[jamiekerr14]

but will try help at both if possible!

But after his opening speech, i'll never go back there again untill he has appolgised.

[jamiekerr14]

Its not the place or time Tony.. speak to Grant-He knows more detail..

Yeah.. think im sold a DEX410R... Its if cant get one for a good price.. -What esc you running again tony? Im half tempted to get Tekin RS Pro, IF I can afford it. As been toying with some TC-So can swap it straight over.. but there not cheap the tekin's but seem well worth it..

[jamiekerr14]

Quick question-Has anyone found a place to securely mount the new Harry transponder clip? Im trading my old AMB for a Harry-and x2 clips 1 for my 1/8th and 1 for my 410R. Wondering where if possible is the best place to mount the clip? I don't want to have to hook and loop it down. Then have to peel it off to mount it into the 808... any ideas.. Im still waiting to trade it in, and get the harry ect.. and my rx.. to do some test fitments. Was wondering if anyone has tried it or not? cheers guys

[mikeyscott]

Got a Rango then? Shell off to Kifopaint like your other shells?

[jamiekerr14]

Yeah got a used DE410R.. with Alu side guards ect.. and some arms ect.. ordered plastic side guards too..and few bits.

Um Im not sure, I may do it myself.. for the time being.. he's got anoter 808 shell and b44 one-lol not much use to me anymore haha

He's busy, moving into his new work space and has a lot of shells to do. So may get my 808 and a durwango over to him next month.. but think will do one for now..will see will try speak to him later!

Jamie the plastic sides have a nice transponder mount. With the ally sides I got a small piece of lexan and put the screw through it which hold down the right hand side lipo battery mount. That was for an original transponder not a Harry. I have seen people use the MRT clone and mount this on top of the steering servo as it is so small and the Harry is similar in size I think.

[jamiekerr14]

Yeah I did notice that grant.. the other day.. ideally want it so can easily get to it, unclip it and take it out.. but may not be that easy.. will have to wait till it arrives 1st.. the harry.. cheers mush

[jamiekerr14]

Here she is-Sorry for the crappy paint job.. was a quickie..

[mikeyscott]

Dude, do some returns on the image links so they don't go across the page etc!

Thought a Tekin RS and micro Spektrum insteall would be super neat....?

[jamiekerr14]

It would do, if I spent more time on it.. which.. bores me.. plus I needed room to mount down the harry clip. As the harry will be going from this to leccy a lot.. so need a good place.. Still need to tidy the wires up ect.. but that will be for a rainy day..
Reason RX is on its side is
1. Easier to plug in harry ect
2.Protect it even more from the elements like water ect-Yes I will blue tac it but helps more that way..its the SR3100

[mikeyscott]

Looking forward to seeing it and running mine.

With the weather at the mo the track isn't going to get done quickly!
