DEX 210 Building Tips/Issues
 

There are many posts regarding DEX210, but since many of you started building the Kit it could be useful to use this thread reporting building tips and issues found during the process, for us still waiting for the kits to arrive.

Thanks:woot:

I have only done bag A so far and it's gone together without issue.

When building the diff I scratched my head for a bit as to what the circlip clips on to, then realised you have to compress it and push it inside the inner hole of the outdrive.

There is a groove inside in which it seats into.

Some of the part numbers in the manual for plastic bits during the build are incorrect. Square floor piece, servo link ball ends.

The plastic inserts for the caster stumped me a bit not a great description of the options and how to fit in the manual.

2xM3x10 button head screws for the front axles in bag B was missing.

Other than that so far so good.

I also had the screws missing for the front stub axles , also one of the gold washers for the inner ball Stud is a diffrent thickness to the other three ?

lots of zip lock bags but one stands out from the rest, the shock caps, i wonder if that was the holdup:woot:

@ Mike, The inserts are just like the old schumacher inserts but better as these have the option sizes on them so even i can understand.

on the rear brace, is the two center holes which you use for to hole the rear fixings of the gear box (MID) down with, Are they suppose to be through holes and not taped?

Very chuncky strong feel to it.

Cream will soon have a new Part to make ;)

Si - I think I know the part you mean. :eh?:

There are spare M3 x 10 Button head screws in bag F. It seems they have migrated to this bag..

I had some spare from the 410 i built last week :thumbsup: but its good that people now know they are in the box :thumbsup:

We've spotted a couple of issues with the manual.

Step 29.
The MM rear bumper is missing from the instrcution manual it can be found on the 310121 Sprue @ tag #3.

The 320128-6 bushes don’t fit, there was a part number error in the manual.
These should be the 310257-4 bushes that are on the gearbox mould, there are 3 of them on there.

The pistons shown in the manual are switched for the kit set-up, the fronts should be 1.2mm and the rear should be 1.3mm.

These are being fixed for the on-line version.

If you do have any issues with missing parts in the kit, please contact support@team-durango.com

Please make sure you include the following items in your e-mail:

1. The Issue.
2. Your kit serial number (the little yellow sticker on the box)
3. Where you bought it from.

Superb support yet again!

Glad to see your feeling the Durango love Mr Lip!:thumbsup::lol:

Adam will probably rebuild your ball diff when you do it wrong :thumbsup:

carnt wait much longer..........

No issue's as yet :) in fact i have to say this is the best put together car i have ever built, things dont just fit, they fit perfectly :D
Top job Durango :thumbsup:

Hi Stu,

Sorry I couldn't spend much time with you tonight, it was mad with 45 people turning up including Lee, Truman, and Cockers. I hope the build goes well.

Matt

No worries Matt
Good to see you doing so well there, much bigger than i thought & good to see it being supported by the big guns as well :D
So who took the win tonight?

Could anyone post the lengths of the turnbuckles?

M3 x 36mm and M3 x 43mm but not sure on how many of each ! Got the info off the 210 parts page.

BEWARE!!!

I just reamed out two holes on the wing using the dimple marks. They are too far apart (at least 5mm). So don't use the dimples as a guide.

Perhaps the wing mounts are wider on an RM build and the dimples are for that configuration?

If you use a low profile servo, the slot designed for the cable doesnt go to where it needs to, so you may ahve to get a dremel out to sort it.

Does anyone know the internal ratio of the Mid motor 4 gear?

And can anyone rec. gearing for a SP 7.5 around Kiddy and Coventry?

The DEX210 was by far one of the nicest builds I have ever done :thumbsup:

The internal ratio is not effected by the amount of idlers.
I don't know the internal ration - but if you divide the amount of teeth on the diff gear by the amount on the layshaft you will get the ratio.

Correct..
Gear Ratio is:

2.6:1

Probably go with something like a 24 round kiddy or 26 at cov.

Personally I've never run a 2wd round Cov before so a little bit of guess work there.

The updated manual is online right now

lol loving the PT in the manual :D

What axle position are uk people opting for. Trailing or inline?

The setup from the team at worksop is online, thats a good place to start atm

Depends on the track. We used trailing outdoors so far, but me and Nathan tried inline at Worksop.

Inline makes the steering more responsive giving a very direct feel. This proved to be useful at Worksop as the track was so tight and technical, with quick change of direction needed.

Fully inline was a little too much so we settled with number 2 block, which is in the middle of the two.

Worth having a play around to see which you prefer.
