It's been too long... time to add an overview of what's happened over the last months:
1. Through one of our customers, we came in contact with GForce and after some conversation, the idea to enter a partnership: They would promote our products in Japan, whilst we will promote their products here!
So for 2016, ORB Racing will drive with GForce motors, ESCs in addition to the use of various handy (setup) tools and pit accessories! A worthy addition to our ambitions and a push towards a higher level
2. We have been featured in 'RRCi' magazine in 2015; a feature in the Japanese magazine 'RC World' followed suit!
3. We are eager to receive feedback to improve the FF210 to a higher standard. Since the release, we got feedback that the durability of the front suspension could be improved, so recently we applied running changes in the C-hubs and front arms that will reinforce the front suspension.
4. As part of our support programme for the FF210 we have looked into the compatibility with the DEX210V3. The DEX210 V1/V2 front and rear axles (TD330349 and TD310254) are replaced with new parts in the DEX210V3, and these new parts are not compatible with the FF210 kit yet.
However according to our sources, the first batch of DEX210V3 kits contains the DEX210V2 components as well. This means the first batch of V3 kits should contain the parts required to make the FF210 conversion (#7001). For later batches of DEX210V3 kits, the V1/V2 front and rear axles should be purchased seperately.
We are currently looking into the possibility to make the FF210 compatible with the new 12mm hex axles and multi-axle system of the DEX210V3. In the meantime, if you are looking to build your FF210 from the DEX210V3, we recommend that you check with the seller if the DEX210V2 parts are included, or you purchase TD330349 and TD310254 seperately in order to perform the conversion.
5. And last but not least, to compliment the work in the last 4 years with a professional touch is a new livery for the FF210...
Looking ahead, we are gradually expanding our customer base of the FF210 and our goal is to continue that trend and introduce and enthuse people about the FWD concept.
