Its a pain to do, thankfully in ~2 years of 410 ownership i've only had to remove and refit twice. Once to upgrade to the CNCed ring gear, and once to upgrade the seals (and change the outdrives at the same time)

+1 your not really going to be doing it that often.
I used a flat screwdriver to remove and the same to help click it in position

[av4625]

yea as onekiwi said just use a flat head screw driver to get it out its pretty easy!

Are the internal diff gears plastic?

it is not plastic

[OneKiwi]

Is that an option now then as I saw the plastic ones on the TD website

[mattr]

The 14t sun gear (attached to the outdrive) is unchanged (310001), the 4 (9t?) planet gears and the cross shaft are plastic now according to team durango (310290).

mattr is correct

I believe the plastic gear are to reduce rotating mass and make the drive train smoother and the metal/cast gears were included with the v3 and this is a change for the v4.

[mattr]

Yup, the plastic bits will be around 1/3rd the weight of the metal ones. Ish.

[rcjunky]

you can get the other gears in plastic from the detc410, but since they're not on the v4, I have a feeling they're not strong enough.

[Chris Doughty]

the plastic sun gears from the DETC410 are not compatible with the DEX410 diffs

[rcjunky]

interesting, my apologies, thought they looked the same.

[shaun m]

how are the plastic gears holding up , or is it worth fitting metal ones from day one ?

The plastic planet gear sets have undergone extensive testing by all the Team Durango pro team.

I am also running the V4 and not had any issues with plastic planet gears personally.

I have also started using the plastic planet gears and cross shaft in my DEX210 gear diffs as well as they fit perfectly.

[rcjunky]

yup, the whole drivetrain has been bomb poof all this year, including the 2wd gear diff (with lightweight outdrives, supa lite ;) )

cheers :thumbsup: , mines pretty much all put together , just got to build the shocks , but can't find any info for shock lenght's ?does anyone know the lengh <sp they should be ??
cheers:thumbsup:

[shaun m]

Can anyone share any shock lengh settings ?:thumbsup:

[charlesk]

Can anyone share any shock lengh settings ?:thumbsup:

2mm spacer inside the front shocks to reduce droop.
Shock eyes screwed all the way (f&r).
Then just use the preload to set your ride height to around 19mm.
