Looks really good that, maybe Jimmy can learn from looking at that and make his oOple reviews & stuff look better.

I see the old style inserts from the schumachers of yesteryear are back, but i do like:drool:
Good effort with the kit page, time well spent me thinks.

Couple of questions.

Can the rear hub and captured pin drive shaft be crossed over the the DEX410 but with the 61mm driveshaft being used instead of the dex210`s 65mm shaft?

What does the team think or prefer, Ball diff or the geared diff?

what size is the kit spur gear and is it the same design as the 410?

Thanks in advance.

The lipo must sit on foam strips or similar in order to allow a passage for the speedo receiver wire, otherwise it wouldn't sit flat?

The photo shown is a pre-production car. The final versions have a groove in the chassis.

The hubs won't fit the 410. The wishbones are different.

Good god am I glad I preordered as well.

Any chance of getting front axles to fit associated wheels or is the offset different? It would be nice to be able to use what I have. Rear wheels should fit if you remove the hex, no?

One minor and quick question from a newbie just about to receive his first decent car...

What size turnbuckle wrench should I purchase for use with the 210..?

Cheers!

If the turnbuckles are the same size as the 410 you'll need a 4mm wrench.

Cars at these levels should be built with proper tools rather than the small bent Allen keys. It doesn't have to be expensive, I have just bought some of the hpi tools and they were only £5 each.

I agree got a full set of allen drivers, just didn't have the right size turnbuckle wrench. Was just pointing it out as he said he was a newbie:)

Adam,
Are the optional rear hubs going to be like the stock rear hubs in terms of using the insert to adjust toe angle?

+1 :lol: I'm really glad I pre-ordered one as well - this car will be the best build yet for me I think! :) Well worth the money!

I'm sure TD have thought it through, but I was just wondering how well the inserts would stand up to the hard use: Won't the suspension become sloppy (because there now are additional seperate parts everywhere in the suspension, or the other way around, inserts become stuck inside the uprights, hub suspension blocks etc. due to dust, dirt and grit?

Could someone confirm the size of the drivers needed to complete the kit please
Am switching from imperial so would be good to know the sizes of the new tools i need to buy, i am thinking 1.5, 2, 2.5 & 3 but it would be good to have it confirmed :)

A Flat steel one comes in the kit.... Same as the 410 and SC. No need to really spend money on a 'pro' one if you don't need to.

if it's anything like the 410 the majority of screws will be 2mm (1.5 and 2.5 needed). The 410 also used 1.3mm or .050 screws in the shock cap bleeders and geared diff housings...

Your's was a daft question, that's why I left it till last!:woot:

Front wheels, we will be releasing an axle set, but why you'd want to put ugly wheels on the front of the car, I really don't know...

Rear wheels. Just like the 410, you can remove the hex and replace with the cone washer and distance spacer and you can run the old pin type wheels.

I specialise in daft questions :thumbsup:

I want to run the ugly wheels because I have a shedload of them and they're mostly yellow.

Had a go with Jörns DEX210 over the weekend and was immediately on the same laptimes as my current car (which is not slow!). And that was on the wrong tyres... Can't wait for the kit to get here!

Not sure that the above still applies I would wait for the guys at TD to confirm

Think there might be a little problem :-(

My view, get it right first time. A delayed release but with a spot on delivery is better than an early release knowing something's wrong.

Remember people don't remember the successes over failures.

I agree that it should be right first time. But I also think that any QC should have been carried out and satisfied before a launch date was given....

They could have just carried out the QC this week and then announced after it was complete that the car would be released on X date.

I dont have one of these on order, I am happy with my RB5 Vega and have the Lazer FS2 SP on pre-order so there is no bitterness on my part, I just think in my opinion that all the necessary checks should be carried out before any announcements are made to the public regarding release dates. :eh?:

Pleased to see that Tresrey are up to speed with the DEX210.
I can see some shiny red bits coming soon. Take note RCLazy.
On a positive note for TD, the longer they take in releasing the kit, the closer we will be to getting the geared diff.
I will be running a geared diff in mine, so will not be able to complete the build until the parts are available.
I haven't been so excited for a long time.
In my opinion (for what it's worth), TD Marketing Dept. are doing a stirling job. Keep up the good work.
