Nope, tend to use the VTS, as its far cheaper.

Cheers Matt. I have read that vts thread but where can you get them and do they do dex gear covers.

Dave.

You can get them pretty much anywhere that stocks Associated stuff.
As for covers, you can either DIY, or (possibly) use the Avid one.
I've ordered a couple of the avid/durango covers from amainhobbies to try out, only 5 dollars each, so not a big deal if they don't fit.

I'm running an Avid clutch in mine - not sure if its better yet though. Yesterday on a baking day I could set the clutch loose enough to tame a 6.5t without fear of melting the spur which is what tended to happen with the Durango slipper and RW spurs so better in that respect but not sure it offers any more control.

I use it on my DEX210. Avid setup is def nice. I would get some of the red pads. I use 1 red and 2 white.

Avid cover doesn't fit.
Needs to be spaced out by a couple of mm so the cover clears the vts.

I'll try it on Sunday, see how much crap gets in there.

Would it be possible to make a thick gasket from some flat rubber/plastic ?

Dave.

Probably, but for what i usually drive on (astro or carpet) its just extra complexity and things to go wrong for little or no advantage.
If i was driving on dirt, i'd probably have another go!

I'm running an Avid Triad in my DEST210 and loving it; So much more consistent. Took a while to set first - once optimum found it's easy to tweak

One added advantage - the Spur is really quiet

I haven't installed mine yet, but I ordered some red pads too. I was thinking running one red in the middle. Is that how your running yours?

Hi,

I have the TRIAD slipper kit for the DEX210 in stock at P-Dub Racing.

You will need the Durango TRIAD upgrade pack & the TRIAD Slipper clutch.

I can supply as a bundle (with discount) if people want me to.

MiCk B. :-)

Hi,

I'm currently out of stock of the TRIAD upgrade pack for the DEX210.

You will need the upgrade pack (£13.50) and the TRIAD slipper clutch (£20).
(I can supply the slipper with alternative, spur gears if required. Usually it's 78 / 81)


MiCk B. :-)
