Bad quality ball bearings on DEX410R??
I recently had my second run on my DEX410R and it performed awesome! Only bad thing is that after about 10 minutes of driving both ball bearings on the left rear axles were completely worn. Balls were all gone and only the rings were left. I wonder if anybody had this experience? Is it possible that Durango used cheaper bearings on the "R" than on the normal DEX410? Just a thought.
Let me know your experiences. |

I had a few go on the front hubs before they upgraded the hubs and bearings, but upgraded to the bearings below and they have been fantastic so far.

To have this problem after only 10mins racing, all I can say is, did you fit the crunch spacer in between the bearings?
I've raced mine loads now, and I haven't had a single problem with the bearings on my R. |

I had wobbly diff outputs both front and rear on my R when brand new, tried shimming, new cases etc, no joy. ID and OD were fine, just quite a bit of play. Different bearings fixed the problem.
TD said the full fat 410 and R versions share the same bearings. |

That Kit only has the bearings for the older full fat 410. I would think you'll have to contact them to get the new larger front bearing for thr R and 2010 edition.

Thats correct, they do have a new kit for the larger front bearings, you just need to let them know when you order them

If you run outdoors often on a dusty track I'd replace them with rubber shielded bearings. |
