Pleased to announce a new version of the 410 soon to be released

So has anyone got anybody spotted it being tested yet? Believe it's due to be released in about 2 months and to have the bigbores as standard!

Will also include the new shell soon to be released!

Should be good to see what updates they bring to the new Durango!

To add this is not an official confirmation obviously

Looking forward to seeing pics and info, but unfortunately it's all under wraps at the moment and I'm not allowed to give away to much info......

Watch this space!!!

This seems about right, they've been testing parts for ages and they've already released a few.. its about time for a new update.

no suprise here. however i question this forums character, banning a member for letting the cat out of the bag on a company that has no (realized) ties. i'm hoping there was something else going on, otherwise that is a shame.

maybe he deserved it for his past stupidity, i don't know.

Hi,
Just to put a few things straight, Phil and Budfish were originally restricted, due to their use of foul and abusive language on a previous thread which has been deleted.

As a company, we do not condone that sort of behaviour as this thread is used by people of all ages and some of their comments were not the type of thing you would like minors to hear let alone read.
So after reading numerous complaints sent via e-mail and through the oOple forum we asked the oOple admin to restrict his posting on the forum. It's not the type of thing we like doing , everyone has the right to free speech, but there is a line as to the content that really should be posted on here. Most people are aware of this,it's common sense, some aren't.

Captainlip does not work at Team Durango. That I can say with 100% certainty

...in this thread he isnt slagging/swearing/winding up etc. He is airing a rumour in a fairly polite way.

Has Phil been restricted in this case because he has come across some commercial info that Durango don't want aired yet? Is that ok?

Would the same info coming from someone else been treated in the same way? Is it Phils fault that he has been in receipt of the info?

I'm not trying to be too cynical, but look at the size of that Durango banner advert up there.

The Language was in another thread, which has since been deleted.

He was restricted before this thread was posted, so the reason is nothing to do with airing any commercial info which Phil is/isn't in reciept of.

and as banners go it's about the same size as couple of model shops on here and also X factory's..

If you read Adam Skelding's post, it says he has been restricted because of previous inappropriate posts within the Durango section - not because of posting this information.

You've got to remember, although this is a hobby for us, its a business for Durango. Someone coming on here saying some of the things he said could lose them business.

Durango are a professional company who try to do right by their customers, as confirmed by numerous people on here.

Even though most of what captainlip says is in gest, people who don't know him may take his comments seriously. Forums are great but its often hard to tell if someone is been serious or joking.

Also as Adam pointed out, minors use this forum so swearing is most definately inappropriate. This is not a case of Durango flexing their money, more a case of been responsible.

ive heard that the durango is bringing out the same car as the 410r but cheaper money then you buy what you want for it as upgrades like the alloy bits on the 410

when you buy the 410 you chuck the alloy side pods for the plastic 1s and durango are selling them for £100 :confused:

just what i been told so im not sure what the crack is if there is anything :confused:

Fair nuff - the thread history looks like the restriction hit mid flow as it were - my mistake.

Can I have a free v3 for being nice:thumbsup: (this may trick 'rango into saying "no you can't therefore confirming there is one!:p)

Hi from germany,

I am very disappointed by team durango.Two weeks ago I bought a second DEX 410 Spec 2010 for my 7yr old son, my 9yr old is racing his 410 for about 1 year already on a very high level. I know it is an expensive hobby and I have no problem in sponsoring my children but at this point I can see offers of about 200 euro off the price I paid for the kit - that is too much.
Leaking diffs - wrong manual - missing parts - not fitting main gear cover - bad bearings etc .... I can deal with these problems and fix the parts with tresrey alternatives but if I ask the german durango distributor if there will be a 2011 edition soon - and he is not informed - I bought the wrong car. Now I know that this special offer will start in germany on 1.7.2011.... the same product for xx% off ....

To be fair i'm not 100% happy,
I have just bought a set of big bores, They were £100,
at the same time i got about £50 worth of spares.

I could have got a full car for little more money!

I saw the first thread also and i didn't see any abusive language?
I can appreciate Durango being a professional company, and yes i can see how it may effect there business.
But have they ever though there maybe a reason why these comments are being made?

If you but the 410 kit its RRP of 400+ then:
New set of bearings...
New set off diff seals...
New diff oil (The kit oil serves no purpose...maybe include an oil that people use?)
New Dremel, (to grind down the gear holder pin) its easy to say "Yea Yea just Dremel it to a point"..... Not so easy if you don't have one.
New Drive Shafts (Wrong ones came in kit)

So you can sort of see why?
Don't get me wrong i love my car but i think somethings need looking at in the kit.
are the above going to be looked at in the new kit?

Bungleaio
14-06-2011, 06:36 PM
I don't get why people are getting so wound up about, Durango haven't said anything about a new car coming out. Maybe there is one coming, maybe there isn't, I wouldn't be surprised if there is to be honest there was a 2009 and 2010.

Remember the original post in this thread was created by someone who loves to stir and isn't exactly known for singing Durangos praises.

I agree. While I don't like that I just bought my car, I would rather have Durango constantly developing new parts and making improvements than have them sell the same kit for the next 5 years. I'd be willing to bet that if there is a new car, the parts will be interchangeable with the old car so it won't be obsolete.

TonyM
14-06-2011, 08:24 PM
I relish the fact that Durango are constantly keeping ahead of the curve. We'd all be complaining if they didn't change anything for a few years. So, I welcome the news that there may be a '2011' version coming out. I'd buy the necessary bits immediately - just to make sure that my poor driving ability, which is definitely going South at 62, can't be blamed on the tools:D

At the end of the day, these guys have to make a decent living from us mortals, otherwise - end of Rango. So stop the carping about paying extra money - dig deep and enjoy.

Reading this with interest..

With the changes between the 2009 & 10 cars have been centrered around the 2mil centreshafts & driveshafts, which could be upgraded if someone wanted to or replaced when worn, there was a few other tweaks yes but nothing drastic.

I think for the failures I'm an absolute animal with mine! But hardly any breakages and zero failures as I maintain the car regulary.

If there is a new version on the horizon and the thing comes with big bores, they're commercially available and hey quite a few folk have sets already!! As for the other things it will all come apparent in good time!!

Stu
14-06-2011, 08:50 PM
WTF, this thread is madness.

If dealers are currently giving some good deals on kits how on god's earth can that be a bad thing?

Anyone who thinks the team should not be develping new and improved parts with intention to bring them to market (either as a rolling change in the kit or marketed as a 'new' kit) needs to take a reality check.

leeboy44
14-06-2011, 08:55 PM
every car will have upgrades in its life at some point, like the big bores etc i bet if/when they do bring out whatever it will be all interchangeable with the durango as we know it now anyway

Dazzler
14-06-2011, 08:56 PM
I recon you have underestimated how good the deal is Stu.... £199 for a 410R, or £299 for a full fat 2010 spec... It's a fantastic car at that price... You can almost buy both for the original cost of a full fat car, and have all the spares you need... And it's still every bit as good now as it was before the reduction..

If I was after a car now, I'd be snapping one up quick, not worrying about what may or may not be coming. I doubt these prices will be around long!

I bought one of each, should see me through the winter. Cant complain about the durango at all, better than the b44 in so many ways. Had a quick go of a Cat, handled well, but I dont enjoy ball diffs, two winters of touring cars has increased my dislike of them, constantly having to maintain them. Durango comes out of the hauler every friday night, gets driven hard, goes back in the box till the next friday, not broken it yet.

So why don't you go ahead and edit your post.

14-06-2011, 10:15 PM
Sorry to say fell... But someone has seen you coming!

The 410R is RRP of about £260 and thats on the Durango site. I think the are £230 in JEspares.

I have just sold one for £180 and there is one in the FS section for £185.

Not being funny dude, but it's the Law of Sod, as soon as you buy something you've been waiting for, it'll be cheaper a few weeks later, or a better one comes out for the same money.

Happens just about every time I buy a new TV, a bloke at work bought a new Audi TT, then within weeks, the face lift model was released, better engine, less co2, more mpg, more toys etc, the dealer never told him about that when he took his 25-30k from him.

If there is a new DEX coming, I'll see what new bits it has, then put the ones I want on my 2009 car, just like I did when the 2010 car came out.

2 weeks ago I ran on the French championship in Pau (warm up for the Euro to..) and in the stand there is Neil martin and Hupo Hoenigl ..and Team Durango French drivers Baldini cyrille (French champion 2011..) and Gilles Bennardo...(and others..)
No One use V3 or other but Dex 410 with big bore and...no more ..arf yes very good fingers..:)

I'm with you on this one. Just like they done with 2010 spec car updated drive shafts etc. Maybe the new shell, shocks,gearbox alloy holders, D blocks. We will see as johnm said will upgrade mine when it does happen.

15-06-2011, 09:46 PM
Basically it's a great deal for a lot of car for the cash.

I ran an 'R' and have had little or no problems with it. I wanted the rollbars / alloy bits etc but they are so expensive on their own.

Decided to buy the 2010 full fat kit from MB Models as they are such good value. I might upgrade the odd part if anything new comes out, keep my old 'R' as spares.

tbh I'd seen it a while ago, but didn't want to say anything just in case it wasn't suppose to be broadcast hehe

You only have to keep an eye on the team's cars to see what's likely to be coming along next ;)

Aye been way too busy talking about everthing else durango related! :D

Yep I've had a peek & similar in looks to the 408 shell, looks good imo :thumbsup:

So, wildly guessing theres gona be...

- a new body, with more room around the spur gear
- double joins for the center driveshafts to reduce wear
- a bit of bling for the rear gearboxholder
- bigger shocks
- "diffrent" ball cups

for the 2011 kit... have i forgotten anything?

all of wich can be seen in the talywain report and esspecially in this pic (http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/2011national-talywain/4wd/rango/OOP_3849.jpg)

I suspect the price drop is to persuade people from buying the SX3??

This would make sense why Durango are dropping the price and are offering deals which includes the big bore shocks. You require no expensive extras with the 410 just orings for the diffs and ball cups. :thumbsup:

Hi I am thinking of buying a 410 and the price is nice now but is it better to wait and buy the v3 or buy now???

Are there problems with the 410 that I can buy now for this nice price??

The 410 is an awesome car and at the current prices is an absolute bargain.

Whether to wait for the next incarnation or not is a tough decision and is entirely down to you, if you are a very good driver then you are probably best waiting for the latest but if you are a club level driver who races casually then the changes to the car will probably be less noticeable than the saving of £150.

That said it's always nice to have the new gear so if you can afford it then get the new car.

Don't forget durango hasn't announced anything yet so we don't know how long it will be until the next car is released.

Thanks Guys,

I have orderd the 410!!

Anny tips for me? I have read that some people say that the bigbor shocks are much better but that is a little to much $$$$ for me at the moment. Any ather tips?
I am thinking to put in my CC 3800 4pole motor in the 410 what do you think??


Thanks for your help

What a mess! :lol:

1) Both 410 models are on sale everywhere. This to me clearly is to get rid of all stocks of "old" cars. This does not mean that they are bad cars! It's a very good deal, and there will be a lot of happy customers! Yes, it's always annoying when you've just bought something at full price, just to see it on sale a week later... but that's life. Rather you should be happy for those getting a good deal now. If you can't live with that, you'll just have to wait forever for that ultimate deal... And if shops adverted a coming sale, they'd ONLY sell when having the sale >> bankrupt in no time...

2) As they now make & sell big bore shocks, of course that will be included in the new version kits. And since the manufacturer still have not released any official info they probably have not finalized everything (spec, price, delivery time etc). I'm sure they are doing their best, just be patient.

3) There will always be rumours! Some like it, some don't. I myself was surprised at how secret TLR managed to keep the 22 up to release. But this was an exception, not the rule. You simply cannot critizise Durango for not releasing news because there are rumours. Take a pill & chill... :D

Looks like they like the rear gearboxholder, and there is something going on around the servo saver and servo link.
but i cant tell if its just aftermarket parts or something they're testing.
Also what does it say on the ballcups? is it tamiya?

It's pounds sterling, not euros. but still a good price. I think there will be only one version of the DEX in the future. Most 'R' drivers upgrade to a higher spec anyway.

As I wrote, that's just what I think. You keep hearing and hearing "Oh my, how expensive is the Durango", although the price is justified considering all the goodies that are included in the package. Sales may increase if the price tag is reduced and comparable to that of the competition. I don't know how the "R" is selling, but the full version was sold out in a second, whereas the "R" is still available. Either the racers are not interested that much in the little brother of the full race vehicle or the remaining stocks are just way bigger.

However, I'm sure we all will find out before long.
Is it time yet?! :D

snook
29-07-2011, 08:02 PM
it says right there in the report:

Jorn isn't using some of the latest DEX410 parts because he hasn't tested them enough he said - this being the most important race around he doesn't want to take chances on things he's not personally tried and knows everything about. So the setup he and Hupo are running here at the Worlds has been established and whilst the guys like the new Big Bore dampers they've simply not had enough track time on dirt with them to want to be testing setups here at the World Championships.

So has anyone got anybody spotted it being tested yet? Believe it's due to be released in about 2 months and to have the bigbores as standard!

Hi, new to here so be gentle, I'm getting back into 1/10 off road after a small break (20 years) :) been racing lots of other classes in that time, anyway after doing some research I am going along the 410 route, I want the pro version which as you all know are not available so it seems I have to wait for the V3, I am am a little concerned with how long i may be waiting as it seems strange no one has seen this car in testing and the spec is a highly kept secret, does anyone else not think it's a little strange or are we just going to see a stripped down version of the current car with a few new parts?

I think many have seen this in testing, just didn't know it.

My guess is that it is a "small" update, and that there will be no "R" and "full spec" version, only one. My guess is plastic side pods, big bore shocks, ball diffs, cab forward body. I could be very wrong, though :p

i sure hope its not ball diff.

maybe they are just making a ball diff option part. and maybe that is what hupo was using. plus i though Durango was a fan of gear diffs because of there ball diff vs gear diff video :p if that video was real then there should be no reason to go to ball diffs:lol:

dpackster1980
15-08-2011, 07:31 AM
They can change whatever they want, I'm happy with the 410 end of. :thumbsup:

Looking at what has been tested you can assume the V3 has a new rear brace, new o/s outer bearing on the rear hubs, new centre CVD's, different shock towers as Durango has reduced the price and obviously big bores as standard.

Everything else is just assumptions and hearsay.

With TD reducing the price of some of the current parts and the out of stock status of others, such as the aluminium front suspension holder, is it going to be difficult getting hold of parts for the current DEX410 in the near future?

I wouldn't think so, they ain't stupid at TD, seems that most new bits tend to fit the older cars.

As for the alloy front suspension holder being out of stock, that'll be cos of all the peeps who just bought an R cheap buying them all:lol: it's not the first time that bit has been out of stock.

I believe that there is going to be just one kit, with the basic (moulded plastic parts) and some updated parts, and everything else will follow as option. The same path as the DEX210. This is the only way to keep the price competitive. The serious racer will choose the options he needs.

captainlip
18-08-2011, 06:34 AM
Yup certainly! This was mentioned at the very start of the thread

Taking example from the release of DEX210. Simple configuration with plain materials, no R or something like that in the name of the kit and a buch of options in the options page. The same strategy as TLR 22. Full spec can be created using the new parts (alloy etc), according to the racing needs. You suceed high sales and the bug for upgrades is always there:cool:

I think that if you look closely to the picture, the front right hub of Hupo's car is different than the left one, even the drive shaft seems different. Could it be something similar to the DESC410?

From TD

"The new features on the DEX410v3 are:-

Big bore shocks - more consistent on rough tracks due to the larger volume of oil.

Gold shock shafts as standard – super smooth Ti Ni coated shock shafts.

New ‘Kuhler’ Body – increased space inside the body and improved air flow to the electronics

New RR suspension arm brace – allows the rear squat to be altered using moulded inserts.

New ‘Fine Tune’ shock towers with finer adjustment for the upper mounting positions and more rear camber link positions on the rear tower.

New HD Ball Ends used throughout – tighter fitting and less likely to pop off during a collision.



Changes from the 2010 kit are:-

Plastic side rails are used in place of the aluminium side rails.

Plastic servo mount is used in place of the machined aluminium one.

Plastic rear gearbox inserts used in place of the machined aluminium parts.

Plastic middle bulkhead used in place of the machined aluminium part.

Moulded upper shock mounts with steel screw.

Revised rear bulkhead and rear gearbox hoop to improve strength in these areas.

Steel turnbuckles used in place of titanium turnbuckles.

Shock and drive shaft boots removed from the kit.

Some of these changes have been made following feedback we received from drivers of the out-going model. After listening to our team drivers and our customers we feel that not all of the machined aluminium parts are required in the kit, so changing these to plastic has helped us bring out a better, but less expensive buggy.

We will still be producing the machined aluminium parts, rubber boots and other option parts for this kit to allow people to upgrade their models should they choose to.

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

Gold shock shafts as standard – super smooth Ti Ni coated shock shafts.

New ‘Kuhler’ Body – increased space inside the body and improved air flow to the electronics

New RR suspension arm brace – allows the rear squat to be altered using moulded inserts.

New ‘Fine Tune’ shock towers with finer adjustment for the upper mounting positions and more rear camber link positions on the rear tower.

New HD Ball Ends used throughout – tighter fitting and less likely to pop off during a collision.



Changes from the 2010 kit are:-

Plastic side rails are used in place of the aluminium side rails.

Plastic servo mount is used in place of the machined aluminium one.

Plastic rear gearbox inserts used in place of the machined aluminium parts.

Plastic middle bulkhead used in place of the machined aluminium part.

Moulded upper shock mounts with steel screw.

Revised rear bulkhead and rear gearbox hoop to improve strength in these areas.

Steel turnbuckles used in place of titanium turnbuckles.

Shock and drive shaft boots removed from the kit.

Some of these changes have been made following feedback we received from drivers of the out-going model. After listening to our team drivers and our customers we feel that not all of the machined aluminium parts are required in the kit, so changing these to plastic has helped us bring out a better, but less expensive buggy.

We will still be producing the machined aluminium parts, rubber boots and other option parts for this kit to allow people to upgrade their models should they choose to.

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

Looks as though the slipper outdrive is longer, which allows the prop shaft to sit deeper into into the outdrive.

You can carry on running your current prop shaft/sliiper outdrive, then when they wear out just upgrade to the new one. Personally ive never had a problem with the shaft popping out, but Durango have listened to customers feedback and implemented the change to make this area bullet proof.

It looks the same as the old version to me. I popped the front shaft out of the slipper outdrive and from the V3 pics, it still doesn't look like the shaft sits any deeper in the outdrive.

wacattack
16-09-2011, 05:37 PM
Me just hypothesising reasons for the outdrive position and a shorter shaft...

...there is likely to be less strain on the slipper outdrive. A drive shaft when rotating wants to push out from the axle rather than stay linear to the axle, so a shorter shaft will have less force (laws of moments) trying to push the shaft outwards when in the outdrive.

...it could also be to do with the flex point of the chassis. The closer the entry of the outdrive is to the middle of the chassis the more movement potential and hence the shaft to pop out in extreme impact situations. Therefore moving it results in less chance of this occurring.

I think the reason for the shorter rear centre shaft and longer slipper output is to stop the shaft from bottoming out on the slipper when the rear of the chassis flexes up/forward.

When this happens with the current design it can push the rear gearbox, making it rotate upwards, putting pressure on the hoop that holds the rear gearbox in place. These new parts should stop the hoop from breaking. The hoop on the new kit is also beefed up somewhat over the current one.

Of course the aluminium hoop is available for extra bling and more strength in this area.:thumbsup:

Haha,, i actually broke my plastic hoop, so got the bling one instead, i was thinking that it broke due to too much torque on the backwheels landing on them after a triple jump, and going on full power at the impact point. but anyway, get the bling one, and never have that problem again.
