dex410 plastic pods and steering assembly

[snook]

Hi everyone

I got a couple of questions i couldn’t figure out by myself.

• what are the upsides/downsides of adding the plastic sidepods to the dex410? how does it affect handling, ect...
• the steering link for the dexR is has a different length than the steering link for the dex410(non-R) how come? where's the difference?

thx
