Just noticed the shots of Chris Doughty's DEX210 at the oOple invernational...
It's in mid motor configuration for those who were wondering what that was like..

Nothing solid, but mb models are taking pre orders
Someone has posted amainhobbies is $275 which is cheaper the there losi 22 price and at 1.62 dollars to the pound is £170 ish.

I am guessing this version is like the R and will compete with the 22 on price and then later a full fat version will come out with all the alum and cf goodies, as there are very few alum bits on the car in the photo and plastic shock towers.

if they usw gullwing front arms why dont they put the holes for the shocks in the lowest point. This is just more material on the wrong place. They could have made the gulwing much smoother.
Who designed this car? As far as I know not the same person that made the 401. Cap forward bodies are not a problem any longer now the whole car is ugly :D

Yeh and are they side by side or infront of each other like on the 22 ?
coleman758
31-07-2011, 10:11 PM
Maybe arranged like a stick pack end on end?
i cant see how it would work any other way using those same side pods?
maybe there is an alternative pod for saddles?
Chris-S
31-07-2011, 10:27 PM
I'd take a guess at the lipo sliding forward for mid motor running. With the car in the rear motor configuration there is a lot of space behind the steering servo and a bit of space between the lipo and rear shock tower.
OldTimer

Unless they use different sidepods, i think the saddle lipos are in stick formation. I guess once we get some body off shots we will know. If the saddles are in a stick layout then its a little cheaky :lol: as all cars with sticks lipos can run saddle lipos.

Don't think there will be side by side lipos looking at the photos unless there are different plastic sidepods. Seems like saddles in a stick pack layout.

Dunno myself, but some people guess that for the 410 there will only be one version in the future, the V3 - which will be a mix of the full fat and R version.
...so maybe that will be the same for the 210?
I guess you anyways will have to make a side-by-side saddle CF-chassis for it J! :thumbsup:

It looks soooo gooooood.
The more I look at it the more I want one.
Too bad I just bought an X6 Sq, I didn't know they were bringing this out (well I knew about the DEX210 but not the production version), this thing pretty much ticks all the things on my list when I was looking around for a 2wd buggy.
I wonder if it has adjustable front rake?
Really like the droop screws, tranny layout (and that its so compact), gear diff, stick pack in mid config, etc...

It's a sub £200 car. I would expect this to be like the R version and maybe a full fat to come along later perhaps. The B4.1 doesn't have any carbon fibre parts (battery strap doesn't really count) and that's more than £200

The DEX410 had fancy Alu pods which would set you back £90 or something to buy separately, yet the car is easier to drive with the plastic R pods fitted.
Same with the B4 chassis. The plastic is often used over the graphite one.
I would like to see CF shock towers and a couple of bits of alu around the car. I do like my bling :D

The Old wheels and new hex wheels are 100% re-useable on the every car.
The Hex just replaces the old washer and cone spacer. The axle is the same.
Same story on the 210...
100% Backwards compatible.

Can someone explain what the motor / cover is for? I can see it may be useful for keeping dirt out etc but it may also make the motor overheat??
Or are there clever vents in the body to get air flowing directly onto the motor??
Regards
Gareth
Dazzler
05-08-2011, 06:57 AM
My guess is that the cover is an extension to the main body shell, and it is what converts the shell from rear to mid conversion, as the shell fits both configurations.
Adam Skelding
05-08-2011, 07:27 AM
The bodyshell is a one fits all style shell.
If you are gonna run the car rear motored 100% of the time then you simply cut the body to it's full trim lines.
If you are likely to change the config then cut to the 2nd trim lines and use 1 of the 3 'cowls' included in the kit. In this config the body is cut the same, you just interchange the cowl..
I'll post some pics of my electrics install tonight when I get home...

Nope as I'll be spending my money on other things such as a holiday. Hence why all my gear is gradually going. Leaving me with a Losi XXCR

Is that the Novak Kinetic? In which case the footprint is 29.5mm x 37.3mm. The only reason I ask is because I've got a Xerun 2.1 coming and its footprint is 43mm x 36mm. That Novak does look quite a tight fit.
Can anyone confirm if it'll fit?
Also, what are the pro's and con's of the 3/4 gear configurations? Is this to change the internal ratios or for altering the pitch whilst jumping?

3 or 4 gears affects the rotating mass and therefore affects the amount of drive vs. rotation coming out of a corner.

No idea but they are probably worth keeping in the tool box. The .050 will probably be needed for screwing the shock pistonon the shaft, it was on the dex410.

Maybe worth posting in the wanted/forsale section.
Maybe someone will swap with you to the equivalent metric drivers
