New Durango DEX410V3

[The Chef]

I just want something that I feel comfortable with. And the cat isn't quite hitting the spot. I wont get rid of both of them until I'm sure. Tough call between this and the laser but I cant bring myself to spend £380 on a kit and about another £150 on extras and still have a plastic chassis. Never say never though.:woot:

FS2 SP should be good to go straight out of the box. Speak to Tony E on Sunday at TORCH.

[The Chef]

I will, I'm getting another RB5 SP2 off him:thumbsup: I'll go Rango first If I don't like that then Lazer it is.
:o

[Dudders]

Lazer?

[The Chef]

Yes Lazer Kyosho's new car. sp thingy.:lol:

[/tobys]

Other than a change of springs, the FS2 is good to go from the box (the kit springs are a bit soft for Astro IMHO). Yes you can buy hop up parts but these are mostly for bling or to increase reliability.

[tc3nitro]

If you order a V3 from Michael @ MB Models it will be posted out today i'm sure !

[steel]

Is there any confirmation that they are in stock at mb ??

[simoncrabb]

I spoke to Durango yesterday (Tuesday) and the V3 was imminent, so I'm hoping we'll have some by the end of the week ready for delivery to TORCH on Sunday.

[Dazzler]

Is there any confirmation that they are in stock at mb ??

Yes, website now says :- now in stock! 3 left by the looks of it..

[bally]

(Oh man, what's that face?!?)

[Bungleaio]

Is it me or have they been removed from the TD site? I've searched the part number TD102011 but it doesn't bring up a result.

[kabilay]

Yes, from early morning.

[captainlip]

does the flex control brace come in the kit?

thats the whole reason im shifting loads of 410 bearing kits as the old ones didnt last long.

[miura]

Nice work Andy i`m looking forward to seeing all the pic`s of your new build:thumbsup:

[mark christopher]

Read his post and stop asking dumb questions, and my durango has the original bearings in it not cheap shit eBay ones.......
If I was to replace them I'd buy from the best bearing supplier in the UK RCbearings.co.uk

hmm ok :rolleyes:

[miura]

We want more pics Andy:thumbsup:

[Andyp]

Wow cool ya jets , it takes longer to sort the pics than the build .:)

Here are a few more they will be the last for tonight.

the main change on this post is the rear hanger, instead of having three different hangers it has one hanger and diffrent plastic inserts.

please be aware i am steeling a few parts from my old 410.
the v3 kit comes with plastic rear gearbox holders and plastic servo/steering mount. from how far i have got the kit is extremly good value for money and not far of the spec you would pay £450+ around a year ago.

:thumbsup::thumbsup:TD

Please let me know if you want any particular pics.

[mikeyscott]

Very nice, what oils did you go for in the diffs?

What electrics are you putting in it?

[captainlip]

I would say its better than the £480 spec 1 year ago, all the updates, bigbores. best value buggy out there!

[shark]

Oh yeah you will be mine :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[jonathan may]

roll on payday if there are any left anywere by then

[caneye]

possibly a bit premature to ask .. but does anyone know if the big bores on the dex410v3 are interchangeable with the dex210?

[Haze]

From TD

"The new features on the DEX410v3 are:-
.....

Changes from the 2010 kit are:-
......
Revised rear bulkhead and rear gearbox hoop to improve strength in these areas.
.....

The part number and name for this kit are TD102011 DEX410v3"

I´m interested in how bulkhead is changed? New pics the bulkhead looks same like old one. :confused:

Sorry for my bad english skills. :blush:

[Big G]

possibly a bit premature to ask .. but doesn't anyone know if the big bores on the dex410v3 are interchangeable with the dex210?

DEX210 will come with big bores and it's likely they will be the same shocks on both cars.

[mikeyscott]

Are there roll bars in the kit as indicated by the site pics?

[MHeadling]

Nice one Andy, cheers for the build pics! :)

[steel]

Are there roll bars in the kit as indicated by the site pics?

yes just looked at mine there are 3 different bars :thumbsup:

[Andyp]

Very nice, what oils did you go for in the diffs?

What electrics are you putting in it?

I put 7000 front and 4000 rear , i was just going off what i run @ worksop last winter

elecs will be savox 1258 , tekin rs pro , sp 5.5 , ko 408s , and vampire lipos at the mo

some more pics.

the noticable differances are -

large bearing on the outside of the rear hub

bb shocks with nice gold colour shafts ( i think we knew about the bb's)

shock mountings to the shock towers are a different system ( i quiet liked the old system but new seems good )

and big meaty wheel hexes.

The titanium turnbuckles are once again from my old 410, this kit comes with what i think are steel turnbuckles with new hd ball cups (ends) .

[mikeyscott]

Very nice.

Noticed more and more people are dropping the diff oil weight.

Is the manual much different?

Are they ti Durango turnbuckles. What balls are they?

[Big G]

They look TD turnbuckles to me. HD ball cups are awesome so I'd recommend running those if you'd previous abandoned hope and fitted another brand :D

[Andyp]

Hi Mikey , the manual is much the same but in black and white. the turnbuckles are TD the balls are lunsford titanium with rpm cups. never had problems with these so i kept them like this.

just about finished now , i wont get the elecs in till after the weekend maybe sunday.

1st pic shows new for old wheels.

[Andrew Twigger]

I'm amazed at what a professional job Durango have made of their cars, advertising and marketing for such a small company. Really impressive stuff to say the least. They clearly have a race-proven design already, but to make so many little tweaks shows they listen to feedback and want to make their product better for the right reasons.

Great to see, good work Durango!

Oh yeah of course it goes without saying that you're a hero for getting the car built and taking pictures.

Are you sure you've built the diffs right?;)

[mikeyscott]

V nice
Recognise the shell from the f345s ?

[captainlip]

[Andyp]

Cheers for the big up twig , why don't you get yourself one , or will you have a job getting it by the mrs?

+1 for alloy hexes !

[Big G]

Those hexes need to be gold ally..!


Please no! Black or gunmetal. Yellow won't go with my red parts

[cmgreen]

Nice one andy, another new car lol

Think there should be a thread 'who's got more cars than andy p?'

You going to seaham 2nd oct?

[Andrew Twigger]

Would love to get one as well as the 210, but starting racing from scratch has destroyed the finances this month! Might ask Santa though haha!

[Andyp]

Please no! Black or gunmetal. Yellow won't go with my red parts

It won't matter what colour they are as you won't see them ....... Well unless your captain lip and don't do your wheel nuts up ! Sorry captain I couldn't resist !

@ c green , yeah another car but this one doesn't count as it's just an upgrade! Yeah hope to be there on the 2nd , hopefully have my 210 by then. Ha ha

[captainlip]

finally on nylocks now and problem solved :thumbsup:

[mikeyscott]

So who else has got a V3 built etc. anyone running them at TORCH this weekend.

4WDs at TORCH will be either a brace of TRF511s or DEX410(R)s

[Big G]

again not sure if anyone else spotted this. the big bores in the photos from the TD site of the v3 seem to have plastic adjustment collars instead of the alloy ones the shocks came with when bought separately.

Yeah they come with plastic adjusters in the v3 kit , I put a tiny drop of oil on the threads before I put them on but they were a bit hit and miss the rears seemed tight still and the fronts were quiet loose ! No biggy really I will prob buy the ally adjusters but the plastic one do there job !

[mikeyscott]

Any must have parts?

[Andyp]

Any must have parts?

I don't recon , I think every thing seems up to it's job!

[telboy]

The only thing that concerns me is the amount of meat on the roll centre adjustment on the rear. Where the camber link ball joints go through the tower looks very thin indeed. One decent knock during a roll could snap that very easily by the looks of it.?

Is it just me or is it really that thin?

[coleman758]

The shock stand off's are plastic too. Not alloy like on the old 410.

It does look really nice though!

[captainlip]

When were they Alloy?

[coleman758]

The shock stand off's on both my cars are alloy.
( the stand off is the part that mount the top of the shock to the shock tower)

[Sabesto]

Really? Sure they are not steel?

[hloland]

They are made of steel on the old models... Try with a magnet. :)

[Marc0]

Please no! Black or gunmetal. Yellow won't go with my red parts

I guess Tresrey will have some red hex :)

[mark christopher]

Defiantly steel

[Big G]

I hope so :)

[captainlip]

I hope so :)

im getting more and more tempted by tresrey red parts set as ive a fair few tresrey bits already and a red shell and all the red tekin electrics :wub

[coleman758]

They are made of steel on the old models... Try with a magnet. :)

My bad i thought they where alloy,

Anyway my point was they are metal not plastic....

[Fozzy1989]

Finally got around to building mine today, mine is box standard unlike Andy's as this is my first. Only thing i didnt bother putting on at the moment are the roll bars. :D

[Andyp]

can I ask if you need to run a power cap with the sr3500? or does it not glitch?

[Andyp]

Ha i know what you mean about the link wire but it is that length so i can get a good grab on it ! it is also white as i have a few 'jump' leads and it makes them easy to see in my pit box.

i guess you are talking about the rx ? it a ko rx never run a cap

[freddie]

got mine today build it this week !!:thumbsup:

[The Chef]

Thought you'd have done that by now.:p

[jaffacake]

Are they the new durango hd rod ends or rpm hd ends?

[Andyp]

Are they the new durango hd rod ends or rpm hd ends?

They are rpm ends on my car , HD's do come in the kit ,

[jkclifford]

Are the side pods wider, or just the photo angle?

Cheers mate, electrics looking good. Gives me a few ideas for wiring for when i get my speedo. Also, just noticed you have the flex system fitted, u managed to give it a run if so what your thoughts on it?

[Andyp]

just noticed you have the flex system fitted, u managed to give it a run if so what your thoughts on it?

I have run the flex system , I used it @ the f345s at Coventry , it was high grip astro ( when dry ! ) so prob not the best place to use it ! I don't usually race on astro so it would be hard to say if I noticed any diff !

Same here, its just bling :thumbsup:

[Bungleaio]

My v3 landed today :thumbsup: unfortunately I snapped my 1.5mm driver yesterday when I was dismantling my v1 :(

Everything looks great so far but I can see one place where some money has been saved, the manual. The original was the highest quality manual I've ever seen with a kit but the new one is on cheaper paper and is in black and white.

This is an observation not a moan though, I'm much happier with the extra cash going towards the 210 than shiny manuals :thumbsup:

Fair enough guys, think i might give it a purchase and test it out but going to wait a while (till after my DEX210 arrives :D).

[wylie]

Anyone know when the next batch will be on the shelves?

[footey]

i believe middle to end of october

[daywalker]

Hi all)
Do you know e-shop where I can order new dex 410v3???
Thanks)

MB models have a backorder of about 5 available but like somebody posted they expecting them mid October by looks of things

[The Chef]

Has anyone run theirs yet? What do they go like? Had to postpone the build in need of a 1.3/.005" hex driver. One ordered should be here Thursday:p

Cant wait to run it. The quality of the kit and components is incredible for the money.

Anyone know if the v3 wheels are available anywhere

They are listed on TD website but showing no stock ! I dunno if that helps much !!!

[coleman758]

I really like the new body shape!

I will be having me one of those when they are available!

Whats the point you still have a 4 months team ahszaraiaiaiaia shell thats been left, the new shell aint spetacular. marmite I guess.

[lukeallen92]

almost finished the build of my new v3 but i cant seem to find the small orange domed spacers that go under the ball studs on the front hubs. any ideas?

The only problem with that other shell is you have to run an undertray too.
Il probably just get both done.

I didn't have them in my kit either mate, ended up using a couple of the plastic ones instead.

[jayst]

u dont get them . u use the black small washers

[GRIFF55]

There are exactly the same part made of plastic on one of the parts trees. Think I will get some gold ones for the bling factor although there is nothing wrong with the plastic ones:thumbsup:

Same, im going to get a pack and then i will have a few for the DEX210 when it arrives :)

[old-man]

Since the V3 wheels are 14mm hex (and not seeing stores carrying 14mm wheels yet), is it possible to fit the old hex&pin from 410/410R to use the old wheels?

[Bungleaio]

Yes you can use your old wheels, the kit comes with the cone for the rear but you will need to switch over your current small front hex and pin.

[The Chef]

I've just finished building my V3 however I seem to have a shed load of bits left over. The car seems complete and I've followed the steps. I have some unlabeled screw/washer bags left and quite a lot of plastic parts. Is this the same for all you :confused:?

[mattr]

Yeah, i got two or three bags of spares included in the box of my R. Just some shims, washers and "bits and pieces".

And some of the plastic parts trees include extra/option parts, or parts for the full fat version.

[Lowie]

what is or are the differences between the original 410-bodyshell and the new V3-shell?

[JohnM]

Have a look on Durango's web site and it's pretty clear what the changes are.

Slightly cab forward, air vents in better places to get cold air to the electrics, sides aren't stepped any more to give more room inside.

[t8rtot]

i hope these make it to production

@ t8rtot - I think it looks quite cool !

Me too, I think it looks great.

[Mike Parker]

Does have a look of a gainabull about it, but I really like it :)

Good work & keep us updated if you do a batch :thumbsup:

[Dazzler]

Surely someone on here could photo shop it, adding a bit of a paint scheme, and put it on a car so we could see how it could look..

I imagine it will look pretty cool..

[ASR]

Very nice!, the type of shell that looks fast when stood still, I'd order one mate.

[muratti]

I was a bit away from the Durango Forum, could anybody explain to me if the V3 is already available? The German distributor shows no stock and the Durango website too, i think i rea somewhere that MB models, RC lazy and other British shops got stock so is it just sold out or what?

[muratti]

Ah, ok thanks. So what could shortly mean... some weeks?

[shark]

Not to sure on that one , sorry :(

[Robocop]

i was told next week for both kits
and i will not say who

[bryan durango]

yes next week. i got an email from mb stating my 210 will be with me next week. i think the next batch of v3,s will be here at the same time.

[Robocop]

HI
On the durango build guide to diffs it says that it may be worth while to use the orings from a 408 is this still the thing to do with the v3 or has durango updated the seals for them?
Thanks

[GRIFF55]

Seals the same as the ones from the 408 come supplied in the v3 kits now mate:thumbsup:

[Robocop]

Ideal just dont want to start building to find out they was not
thanks

[GRIFF55]

They were in my kit anyhow. Might be worth firing Skelding a pm to check;)

[JohnM]

The 408's seals are listed as std parts on the V3's parts list.

[mikeyscott]

I have some kyosho and tresrey o rings from my previous ownership :)

[Andyp]

They are in the kit , I took a pic and posted it a few pages back, as mentioned they are listed ,but as shock seals in the instructions

Fyi,Post #274 3rd pic down shows the seal

[muratti]

The machined diff gear isn´t included int he V3, isn´t it? You have to buy it seperately?

[shark]

Correct The machined diff gear isn´t included int he V3, isn´t it? You have to buy it seperately?

Correct my friend .

[steel]

Am i right in saying the diff gear in the v3 is different im sure it has no locating lugs?

[JohnM]

Am i right in saying the diff gear in the v3 is different im sure it has no locating lugs?

I think that's been the case for a while now, it's not just a V3 thing.

[daywalker]

Hi everybody,
Yesterday start to build my new V3))):thumbsup:
After build and painting show photos))) It's will be in my new design)))
Have a nice day all)

[t8rtot]

i need to reposition the servo wire and adjust the spacing between the fr shocks and drive shaft :confused: am i using the wrong standoffs?

[daywalker]

..I have some situation but I think it's all is correct...

[lewis666]

does the new V3 have new rear hubs that use bigger bearings or are they the same as the previous models?

many thanks

lewis

[Bungleaio]

The 1 degree hubs have the larger bearing but the 0 ones are the same small bearing as before. Or they were in my kit anyway.

[t8rtot]

The 1 degree hubs have the larger bearing but the 0 ones are the same small bearing as before. Or they were in my kit anyway.

yes, i did not have the bearings for the 0deg hubs in the kit however :mad:

[muratti]

Same for me and yes the Front Spring Retianers touch the Universals slightly when on the inner hole on the wishbone. Moved it to the outer hole. Should be fine, if i need the inner hole i will use a small spacer.

[t8rtot]

absolutely, i was told to use a 2mm spacer. Jorn and Hupo's cars have them in the Worlds pics

[Big G]

I've run a 2mm washer on mine for a while now and no problems with rubbing

[Robocop]

Anyone know when the next shipment is in?

[jamiekerr14]

Spoke to Mike at MB Models- they seem to think not till start of next week. Im eagerly waiting for one too.

[aztecz]

Is this normal??? It seems to happen to the front diff especially if we land it a tad hard on the front wheels.

http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9832/imagevri.jpg

I say "we" as my mate has done 2 sets now..

Can anything be done???

So when is the machined one coming out again?

By the way, Pardon the phone camera..

[Big G]

I've run the 2010 spec DEX410 for almost a year now and competed in the entire regional and national series with a club race at least once a week on most surfaces and never chipped a tooth like that...

Yes it happens sometime ,i know 2 ou 3 cases .

[samd]

Ive had a few teeth break like that, my first set from an original 410 lasted about a year, some after that, not as long - in my experience its either

- mesh, despite what I've been told I've found the later gearbox halves, the ones that come with the centre driveshaft pin washers on the plastic tree(from the 410r), need more spacers on the none teeth side to get the same mesh as the earlier ones.

- Centre shaft gearbox bearings worn

- Slipper too tight

or a little bit of everything above!

Good luck! - Sam

[Nick]

This may help you!

[manic]

looking at the wear marks on all your teeth if you look at the ones up the side of the diff you can see they are more warn the further in the tooth you go as the end of the tooth there is a tip, is there diff spacers like in the preds to mesh the tooth properly?? or may be the calculated bevel angle is slightly out to the drive bevel gear thus causing un even wear, this may happen in some cases due to production tollerences being to high, just a thought

manic

[jonathan may]

anyone now when the next batch is coming i did here this week

[Big G]

log into the TD website. add it to your back orders. TD will email you when they come into stock :D

I've done that to the fronts, when going from indoors 13.5 wood block, to 6.5 on Astro, forgetting to calm the brakes down, touching the brakes at the end of the straight and lifting the arse off the ground, verry crunchy after that. Just to confirm the fact I did it again the following week. A TRUE professional would do ot a third time just to make sure.

[Big G]

I've done endo's through mega brakes and never had this happen. that was running a 5.5 too hehe.

I usually snap drive pins before anything else goes

[aztecz]

Cheers everyone..

I've shimmed it a wee bit tighter now & see how it goes.. Holding up so far.

[Robocop]

Is this why durango released the machined gear for the cars

[muratti]

log into the TD website. add it to your back orders. TD will email you when they come into stock :D

Tried that, i can´t put items in my basket that aren´t in stock. An error occours and it asks if i have typed in the number correctly although i only pushed the "buy" button on the DEX410V3 site. Same as with the DEX210.

Any other suggestions how we can check when the cars are available again?

there are two factors causing this,

1. the mesh isnt right.
2. the brakes are to high.

had same problem, sorted both out with the help of skelding and never had the problem since.

[dpackster1980]

I'm very hard on the brakes and I've done a few myself. When replacing them just pause for a second and think about is it worth the extra £7.80 for the machined ones. The normal ones are rubbish by comparison.

I've got the machined ones and never looked back. :thumbsup:

[Andyp]

Cheers everyone..

Check the bearings on the bevel gear to, the spacing has to be right else the gear will move around, even if you have the crown shimmed correct.

Keep your eye on MB models as im sure he will be one of the first to have them. http://www.rccarshop.co.uk/index.php/race-models/race-off-road-electric.html

[Andyp]

Yeah because no one is ever behind you to look at:p:p

i know the machined have only just been released not long ago but ever since i have had a durango (2 years in jan) i have never done a std crown or bevel , i have had it wheelie off the line somtimes too (by mistake btw)

Sx3?
511?
Fs2 sp from inside line?

I'd go for one of the Japanese ones :)

[jamiekerr14]

Anyone got a update on when the next V3's are likely to be in the shops? got on on pre order. But was wondering if anyone knows when there going to be in :confused:

everything from durango seems to have just stopped completely :confused::confused:

[jamiekerr14]

Last I heard was sometime mid this week, but even the shop has no clue until Rango ring them up and tell them there in... hmm

[mikeyscott]

Get a 511 ;)

[jamiekerr14]

Im sure spares for the V3 are easier to get than the 511 :p:thumbsup:

[wylie]

And cheaper

[Chris119]

Cmon Durango! Everytime they release something new there is always a supply issue.
My hobby shop just said 4 weeks.
Love this company but this is getting old now.

[jamiekerr14]

shops say there expecting the V3- only small batches.. next week.. so looks like I will be careless for a while now :(

[fastinfastout]

There will be only one version released

Are you sure about that captain?

If I'm incorrect I'll buy a mad rat and race that and hang my rango wheels up :thumbsup:
haha

where is that mad rat?

[eyeayen]

He's not allowed to post in this section any more but I know he's already sold all his Rango stuff and got an 8th scale Serpent so has in effect already hung his Rango wheels up....

[MadBiker]

You guys know any store that has the new v3 shell for sale atm?

Cheers

Too bad. Looks like yet another great product with supply difficulties. Makes you want to buy a b44.1 if you live in the US. This car looks very cool, but I have too much shelf space already dedicated to awesome cars with parts supply issues (see my Yoke mr4-bx thread).

[hotrodchris]

Parts for the V3 are easier to get hold of than the kit itself but it's well worth the wait ,only used mine once so far but felt more stable and predictable than my old 2010 full fat 410:thumbsup:

Cannot agree more, for me it is somehow easier to drive (or my driving got better meanwhile) but the car is well worth the wait and you get almost every spare you want.

[hotrodchris]

Most of the old car fits straight on so they are all in the shops biggest issue is getting wheels!

MB has loads in stock:

[OneKiwi]

If it feels much more stable do you think its just the BBs thats the difference?
There isn't a hell of a lot of geometry changes in the V3 is there?

[hotrodchris]

Not sure but don't think it's just the BB's rest of the car is set-up like my old 410 apart from the shocks though:confused:

[shortcoursegoat]

any other brands of metal shock standoffs that fit the v4? or any shop with the durango ones in stock?

[Lowie]

you might just do the job with a simple long 3mm-screw/bolt and some washers.
Will do the trick but will be a bit less strong, IMHO.

[mattr]

Would be better off using the plastic ones that come with the 210 kit, as thats pretty much what they are anyway. Rather then bolts and washers.

[Snowey]

Please can somone tell me what the screw up from the bottom in to the rear wish bones is for?
