captainlip · #1 22-10-2011

When is this expected to be released?

Im considering a change from 1/10th and to 1/8th EP and this looks stunning so far!

HarlowS · #2 22-10-2011

Have you not learnt anything about asking for release dates ????

captainlip · #3 23-10-2011

I cant wait for this it looks awesome, quitting 1/10th to race 1/8ths the tracks look so much more fun that 10ths.

on RcTech they have been expecting it since 2010 some people have been waiting ages!

With pleasure! They may have a sense of humor there!

I reckon they'll have it out about a month before Christmas, get everyone chomping at the bit wanting it, work them all up into a frenzy then release it at the busiest time of year... They're not stupid are they !

totally agree but happen to also believe the serpent crew are working with durango as it was on the same stand

I dont mind waiting a few weeks yet as I have some funds to gather for this beauty

Yeah I spotted that, also saw the Serpert shots for their 8th car a while back, now seen the shots of the new 408, wondering how similar they are ? Is there some sort of design / manufacturing process with the two of them or is it pure coincidence ???

What date you have you penciled in on your calendar, for when you would consider buying a 811e ?

We would all be upset if you were to changed your date on us.

I'm holding out for the Durango.

captainlip · #13 24-10-2011

I cant help but think this will come after the DEX410R V3 is released, JE spares have the R V3 on the website for preorder but have no sign of the DEX408

If you're talking about Randy Pike, he's sponsored by Durango, and of course Ryan Lutz is as well.

news from luntz

E-Buggy (DEX408)

The “Do you still have to keep the body on it?” machine. This class was an up-and-down weekend for me. In Q1 I was on a good run but I got into some traffic and made a couple mistakes on my own and would get 2nd place. In Q2 I had a battery wire come unsoldered. In Q3 I broke a rear aluminum turnbuckle. So I ended up fourth in the B-main. Luckily they were doing bump-ups even for electric, so that night as the last race of the night I ran and won the B-main to take a spot into the A-main.

In A1 I moved up quickly from my 13th spot on the grid and was in fifth on the first lap. I would continue to work my way up until I was second and closing in on the leader. He would make a couple of mistakes and I would get by and cruise on to a nice victory. In A2 I got a good start again. About four laps in I was in third and went over the back ski jump and my battery wire came undone again. This put all the pressure on A3. In A3 I was able to have another good start. Quickly moving up. Pettit had a rough early lap and I got by him about two laps in and moved up to second behind Ruona. I drove within inches of his bumper for a lap and he eventually made a mistake and I got by and cruised on to a nice victory and overall win!

My DEX408 was pretty good all weekend. I worked hard on figuring out the shock package I wanted to run on the Nitro car and basically just piggy-backed my shock set-up onto my DEX408. In the end it felt decent and I am again pleased with another victory with the soon-to-be-released DEX408.
