Also, shocktowers and stabi-bars are on sale time to upgrade your R i'd say.

looks intresting and i cant wait for all the other stuff they've been testing.


The generic decal sheet isn't that intresting unless it's suposed to make the other two decal sheets obsolete. Maybe there wont be two versions of the dex410 anymore?
your thoughts?

Yay, that's excellent news. I really hope they do mean a few weeks as I have been looking forward to the 2WD for a while now.

New 2wd sounds good! What is the deal with the patent?I don't see something that can be patented I really hope that they don't go this way .Larger companies do have the lawyers to win-this comes from someone who has worked as a patent examiner. Not to mention that patent wars in RC will be the death of any creativity at the end and a lot of harsh feelings in what is already a very small racing community. Sale numbers for such a product will never be high enough to guarantee profits high enough for paying patent wars. Did I mention that I have seen people's well being, happiness and willingness to create being destroyed by patent wars?

Sorry for the rant.It is just that I do not wish to see the endless lawsuit wars that I have been unfortunate enough to have been part of in the computer industry and other fields...

Brilliant news. I can see my TLR22 up for sale sooner than later.

I wouldn't worry about that too much, i think TD just trys to prevent exact copys of the dex210, not a special feature.
But i guess well' see.
Also, 25% on dex410 bodys, sweet.
even tho the new one is around the corner i migth just buy a spare or two

I literally just bought the Tresrey gearbox holder, it is slightly cheaper than the Durango one but the Durango one looks much nicer

Maybe the precaution is based on their experience with the dex410 clone.
