dex210 front wheels

[jonathan may]

so i i assume that the 210 front wheels should be in stock sometime next week with the next batch of 410v3,s ?

[Matt Howard]

anyone know if the TRF201 front wheels can be used?

DERACING are doing wheels ;)

[AmiSMB]

TFR201 wheels fit but you need to a 2mm wide spacer before the inner bearing so they match up with the end of the axle.

[sunbeam]

Yuck, whats with the rivets ?

[jonathan may]

what way do people mount schumacher stagger cut on the 210 front wheel narrow and cut the wheel down or on the whole wheel.

[Big G]

run a stanley knife around the inside against the lip. After several rotations you'll find the blade will go through the rim and you can finish off the cut.

that's how I did it.

[jonathan may]

sorry what i ment was should they be fitted narrow or wide

[mattybucks]

Stagger rib no insert and narrow.
Cut stagger wide with and insert.

[ASKay]

any word on when the Durango DEX210 fronts are arriving to purchase?

[sunbeam]

Any news on spares, full stop ?

[triplesix]

Anyone who managed to fit Schumacher wheels/TD bearings in those?
No TD wheels available at my place and there's a race in 10 days, so I'll try to use the ones I have... :blush:

[neil_p]

I'm positive it has been mentioned in a previous post that a front axel that would accept Schumacher/AE front wheels would be available, I just cannot remember which post it was in, or weather it would be from Durango or another company.

If that person can confirm?

[bodgit]

Was it this by Adam

Wheels are due in next week.
You can 'Drill / Ream' a B4 wheel out to 10mm and then press in the Durango bearings. It will help get you away until you get the proper ones :)

[sunbeam]

I can CONFIRM that Schumacher and AE front wheels DO NOT FIT. The 210 bearings are to big for the Schumbacher and AE wheels. The front axles on the 210 are to big for the Schumacher and AE bearings.

Thats why Adam recommended reaming out AE wheels to fit TD bearings as a temporary solution.

[neil_p]

Nah it wasn't that post from Adam.

Like I said I cannot remember and I'm not going to wade through all the posts. All I can imagine is it will be a Schumacher/AE sized axel with the Durango fitment. If no one will do one I'll fabricate up a couple.

[ASKay]

I was looking at getting some made, but then decided I like TD wheels too much, so resided myself to buying new tyres, and wheels.....

just means i will be racing 4WD this weekend...

Is this the post you are looking for...

And you could fit 201 wheels with some shims fitted to the stub axle first.. Might be easier for some prior to the release of these..

[neil_p]

That's the one Dazzler.

I agree the Duango wheels are better but got loads of Schumacher slims that I like to run and I don't like to cut the wheels down. Unless Durango are prepared to make a slim wheel I'll run the Schumacher ones.

Same for the rears, got loads of pin type wheels, so will run the optional cone washer and spacer for the time being.

Neil,

Have you enlarged the Schumacher wheels yet?

Got your PM, that would be cool. I'll confirm tomorrow if that's ok, just got an issue on the car I'm trying to get to the bottom of.

Mike

[mark christopher]

Why not just machine the front axle to take the b4 bearings?

[neil_p]

Hi Mike, not a problem, just let me know what you want to do.

Not going to enlarge the wheels as at least then I can swap between the two cars.

Mark, havnt had the chance to measure up yet, but if I'm going to trim down the axel in the lathe then its just as easy to make new axels, and then I have them for the Durango wheels if I so wish. I imagine that the axel diameter on the AE types is smaller as the axel is steel and the Durango is alloy, but only assuming.

Can I ask what the part numbers are for the spacer & cone washer?

rough measurment durango is 5mm )going by bearing size) associated is 4.75mm, i plan on getting a spare set of axles and machining them (my associated ones are alloy)

[neil_p]

Hi Mark, nice one for measuring up.

Since AE changed to steel from alloy for their axels, I am going to make a set up in either chromoly or stainless. Could do them ti but I reckon steel will be more than up to the job.

Durango have probably used 7000 or 6000 series aluminium up to T6 so imagine they are strong enough, let us know how they hold up Mark, when the spares get released:woot:

[Chris-S]

[Chris-S]

Depends on the weather. Will probably run the 210, waiting on some shiny bits for the 410

[Big G]

Front wheels are in stock!

indeed. I saw the stock level drop by 250 in the 1st 20mins haha

What on TDs site? Bloody hell, gold dust at this rate!

[gainsy]

MB Models have white ones :D or had some a few minutes ago when i ordered some & some front wishbones :)

[jamiekerr14]

Hi chaps, I have got some New tyres and rims for my 210 that is coming next week. And got some Cut Stagger ribs, how have people mounted them on there 210 wheels.

Im mainly racing at Torch-High grip astro

I have heard so many way on mounting them, and inserts or no inserts. Anyone care to tell me more on that stuff. Sorry-Never run a 2WD mainly a 4WD person, so have no clue! cheers fellas!:thumbsup:

[gainsy]

Personally i have cut the wheels down so the staggers fit properly as i found the front wheels too wide to stretch the tyres across, didn't have this issue with mini spikes though
No inserts for me :)

[jamiekerr14]

Yeah I have 1 wide 1 narrow on the rim. The narrow one seems to have a better profile from what I can tell.

[mattybucks]

I have loads of wheels and towers in stock if anybody needs any.

[Matt Butcher]

for normal staggers mount on cut down wheels with no insert, for cut staggers mount on normal sized durango 2wd wheels.

job done :)

arrrh yeah missed that bit out DOH :-P

*Slams head on table* :woot:


Ok cheers chaps.. seems a bit of a mixed opinion.. cant say wasn't expecting that.. as I bet a lot is personal preference..

[Andyp]

I got some of these DE racing wheels to make an order up, cant really say im in love with them but they are not as bad as i thought!

Fronts are gonna need some gluing bands on to pull them down tight but i would probably do that anyway

I got mine from amain, i ordered aload of bits and thought it wouldnt hurt to throw them in my cart.

Tottaly agree, not the best looking wheels but do the job,at the time of ordering durango hadnt released the spare front wheels so i thought i would atleast have a set to put another set of tyres on

i placed my order a week last thur morning so just over a week to arrive.

[AmiSMB]

Seems like MB Models got a huge stock in as their system states they have 69 pairs of white fronts and 69 pairs of white rears!

[carrot]

I have got some white front wheels coming from South west RC.

And staggers for 4wd? LOL!

I have gone for Narrow with inserts on my cuts... Blame it on Kev B not me! Thats what he recommended.. so I will try that and see.. Will be running it next weekend at TORCH hopefully. Just in time for MKGP. With 1 run with the 210 and almost 1st run with a 2WD god help me!:D

[Chris-S]

And staggers for 4wd? LOL!

Cut staggers would be better than the slowtrax turd rippers!

Taplow next Friday?

[jamiekerr14]

Yeah maybe chris will see if I can get a few of us to come up-share lifts ect to make it cheaper. Think people could be game to get some carpet running before MK. Will let you know dude!

[AmiSMB]

Or come over to Bracklesham Barn this Wednesday as some of this carpet will be in use at the MK GP.

[jamiekerr14]

Any other Night as i'm not driving from southampton to brack then back to southy! not a chance mate lol
