Hi
I am thinking of getting a DEX410r, what upgrades do you think are essential to reduce breakages and improve reliability ?

I personally would get the rubber boots for the shocks and the driveshafts. nic

Get the aluminum suspension blocks for the front, the plastic one's break easily. don't forget the steel balls for them either, they have to be used with the aluminum blocks.

ok thanks, what about the shock towers ?
The R shock towers are absolutely fine mate. My Bro has been running his for a few months with no probs, and he's had plenty of crashes! hehe.

Echo this, the plastic ones are really weak..

As soon as I got mine, I just stregthened all the frontal plastic parts. The front hinge pin holder...I broke mine second time out with it. I didn't put it on thought until I broke the plastic one...just to see how strong the plastic brace really was. It took a good few crashes and it was only an impact with a concrete slab at southport that broke it.
And the alloy front hubs. Not a necesary upgrade, but I just wanted peace of mind really. Other than those, nothing else really. :) bloody good and quick car.:thumbsup:

Curious why you run the plastic castor blocks? for the extra flex?

If you are having to resort to something that happened a year ago as your only material then I cant be the idiot
But at least i have something to resort to, unlike your initail unjustified 'idiot' reply. :p
