Default Team Durango DEX410R - Review online

The DEX410R is the the latest 4WD contender from IFMAR champions, Team Durango and is their lower-cost offering for those wanting to get a taste of what the hype is all about.



The 'R' uses a host of plastic mouldings over it's bigger brothers (DEX410) expensive machined parts. But the internals are either on-par or even beyond those of the original DEX410! Check out the full review on oOple.com:

Haha. We stayed a little longer than most of the drivers and the maids left all the room doors open so we went on a hunt. Drescher left some English coins - had those cheers. One guy left his worlds trophy which now sits in my house. The gold was in the clear bin bags tho - got three new motors and a ko servo as well as about 20 sets of packaged tyres. It was ace, like a free toy shop.

Thanks for the review. I about to start building my 'R' and wondered about the degreasing you mentioned in the review. Do you literally degrease everything metal? And what do you use? Is 'Gunk' from Halfords OK?

if it is metal, degrease it as thread lock won't stick, and it could have bits of dirt/grit to.

Is anybody in touch with Jimmy? I tried to contact him a week ago (German translation of the DEX410R review is finished ), but he did not reply yet. Is he still busy with moving house?
