I would fear their solution to the front hex issue would be what they have on the dest210, which gives you front hexes at the expense of the trailing/inline adjustment.

Good to hear the new one will have 12mm hexes, but I'd rather have a 12mm hex solution and a few other updates to the current buggy before releasing a new one. Plus, I question the strategy of...

One quick glance and I'm already hugely disappointed in this design. Look at the front wheels. BEARINGS?!?! Even after IFMAR has mandated 12mm hexes, TD has still not caught up with everyone else in...

Now for the most important question of this thread... how does it drive?!

Pretty darn good! I could go on a long winded rant about how great it drives, but a video shows the point much better.

Thank you!

If I'm milling wood, I usually just run some wood screws through the material and into the spoil board. The g10 plastic I just used some masking tape to hold down.

Got it all finnished up now. The turnbuckle brace idea did not work well at all. The rear flexed a ton. I designed and milled a solid top brace to replace it and now there's almost no flex. I'll be...

dex210: the way it should have been!

Just over a year ago, I took a dremel to a piece of g10 plastic and made myself a custom chassis for my dex210. The car drove great with the new chassis, but my dremel work was sloppy at best.

So what did you end up with?

It does sound like a weight transfer problem. The car wants to squat too much on-power and release it all of a sudden off-power causing oversteer. I had the same...

be careful with that much droop. one of my cvd's would bind at full droop when I first built the car. It was enough of a bind that it messed up the outdrive on that side of the car.
