DEX210v2
Hi ,
Just wandering if there was any news on the new 2WD Durango I heard it was expected at the beginning of February but is there any specifications yet or any clue on the price? Thanks, Nick |

The release date for the dex410v4 has be pushed back till Feb. So you can bet the 210v2 release date will be pushed later now too. I could see April it comes out hope its sooner but I doubt it..

Unfortunately td has taken far too long, so in march my dex210 for sale and im buying an associated.
Tbh all other buggy manufacturers with exception of tamiya sell a far superior product so would advise buying one of them rather than wait.

It would be great if Durango would announce official dates for all releases - and stick with them of course. I thought the V2 was due soon and would be an updated car loaded with Spec B parts and the new shock tower+front arms. If so, you're wondering why it's not here by now. So I can only hope for Durango it's more than putting upgrades into the new model if they're taking so long.

EIther way, they will both be available in time for spring as the weather gets warmer.

The most official date I have in late february. The whole part with the date getting pushed back, that may not be totally correct. If the entire first batch is pre ordered, they push the date back to reflect the time anyone can buy one off there site. That being said its now January so clearly the v4 has been delayed a bit, but it may be sooner then late february for those that pre ordered them either direct of through your LHS. Regardless, they'll be nice cars worth running, for the price you can't go wrong.

by the looks of it longer chassis and straight A arms... not ground breaking stuff. Second hand 210s are worth up grading instead of waiting for the v2 and having no testing time before the season kicks off.
Was waiting but bit the bullet and bought a V1 to start racing with. |

These race-winning features
are now standard equipment: ■ 8 mm-longer hard-anodized aluminum chassis for more straight-line stability and better post-jump recovery ■ New, straight front arms for more ground clearance and better aerodynamics ■ New, interchangeable rear arms for front or rear shock mounting options ■ Redesigned rear chassis brace for easier access to gearbox and power system ■ New side pods provide more mounting space for electronics and better dirt and water protection ■ New front shock tower design and material for faster, easier access to camber links and superior crash resistance ■ Improved, low-profile rear shock tower for better post-jump handling and more shock tuning options ■ New v2 cab-forward body for greater downforce and straight-line stability ■ More shock piston choices, including blank pistons for custom setups ■ Updated DIMEC X ball cups for better crash resistance and faster adjustment ■ -2 mm rear low roll-center suspension hanger for improved (forward) traction and smoother cornering on low-grip tracks ■ All Team Durango Type “B” upgrades

Just done the same. Will give the v2 a year to get a few upgrades and a bit more "proven" before I spend out for a new car

Looking good. However (a bit of a letdown for current DEX210 owners, it seems like anyone upgrading to the longer chassis will need the sidepods too. Also, with a 2mm lower RR hanger, will we run 3-6 degree anti-squat, or have Durango made a lower RF hanger and/or a slot in the chassis?
Suspension-wise, since the front arms are different, does the front shock tower have different geometry - other than the stepped shape of it? Are the rear shock shafts shorter (to same length as the DEX410's) in combination with the lower tower? What are the rear droop levels out of the box? And will the new rear arms be compatible with the old ones? And lastly, does this car have long outdrives as stock or not? |

What about the gearbox? thought that was going more low profile with the slipper adjustment on the slipper side and an larger sized bearing on the opposite side of the layshaft?

As for the -2 LRC hanger. You will need to use the 0-3 rear front hanger, which will give you 2 degrees squat and 3 toe. If you use the 3-3, you will have 5 degrees of anti squat. Rear arms just have holes on the other side so that you can mount the shocks in front or rear of the arm. But I think it should be the same. As for shock shafts and out drives - It is hard to tell only from pictures. |

And if you want to run less than 2degrees? or is that not an option or something that you'd ever want to do on the car?

As for the DIMEC chassis, I understand the whole idea of flex, but flex is not the way to gain grip on low-bite tracks - I'm sure it helps, but it doesn't do as much as dialled in shocks, or a ball diff over a gear diff. In addition, a plastic chassis results in a light car, and with the bumpy tracks I drive on you need a heavy car to soak up the bumps. Lastly, I have yet to witness someone breaking an alu DEX210 chassis, and the DIMEC doesn't quite have the same reputation |

I imagine Durango have made a RF block that allows you to run 0 anti-squat.... surely?
