You won't go far wrong with Cream Extreme RC goodies, Rear and Front Carbon Shock towers. ( be careful who you get carbon bits from not all are tough )

If you need extra traction, the rear brass weights with mid motor config work well on astro track

Noel (Races at Southport see http://www.srcc.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2789 ) also produces under servo weight, brass battery weights and now alloy or brass front bulkheads. All precision CNC manufactured.

Personal driving style/set up decides how you want to balance the car

P.S. MB Models are fast at dispatching orders

Normally to be far I just overspend on hop ups for cars in the hope it will make me a better driver lol

I really have taken a different approach with the dex210.

The car is very strong out of the box.

I replaced the plastic spacer washers to alloy
fitted nick Gurnell rear camber link
replaced the spur to an rw one
Replaced slipper pads to AE b4 ones
And replaced the rear toe block from plastic to alloy.

The only things I have broken is 1 front and one rear wishbone, 1.5 toe block and managed strip the servo horn.

Still running the same plastic towers I have had for over 6 months now.
Even the hd ball cups havn't popped off for long time.

Main things is to get few springs in for front and rear for tuning.
Been running black rear and light red front seems work for me on high grip carpet indoors.

Essentials for me are:-

Cream Extreme front and rear towers.

Tresrey rear link plate, steering link and rear bolt on 14mm Hex's.

Cheers for the info guys

I run on high grip astro, usually its dry as i dont work well in the rain lol

Picked the 210 over others as i dont fancy squeezing stuff into a TLR22 and not a fan of the SV2. Got the below coming on top of kit

F & R 410 shock mounts
Cream F & R carbon towers
Atomic carbon steering linkage
TD alloy hexes
Gear diff (I'm lazy !) lol

Thinking of running MM4 with 4deg toe in at the Rear.

Bills already pretty steep but i could squeeze some more in if needed/would be easier at build time.

A small point. You need to use the 410 rear shock mounts for both front and rear on the 210.
