Thanks for the photo's Adam they're great. Looks like a really nice job on the build. They'll make good reference when I start my build too. Can't wait..

Ryan Lutz runs on a 22, but the yanks have slippy dirt where traction is not as high as carpet... So his is a little less eager on low throttle.

Looks very very nice though
Lighter and coupled with the all black and orange feel I had going on I reckon it's about a second a lap faster.

Any idea when the manual for the DEX408 will be available on the TD website? Also, I'd like to order some different size pinions for it, do we know what pitch the spur/pinion is (MOD1 / 32dp etc)?

Regards,
Pedro

I've got most of my bits now, apart from the kit! should be coming soon hopefully..

Still wondering about tyres, can anyone recommend some tyres for use on packed mud / loose dirt?

Thanks

I'm considering 2 packs of these:

DBoots - Multibyte 1/8th Off Road Buggy - Compound A

but being new to 1/8th I don't really know if they're the right tyre for the job..

The new BETA tyres from Nemo Racing have been come highly recommended. I've yet to try them myself yet though...

Im not so sure for dirt, I use them great tyres but I will be running purely astro.

The internal ratio is the same as the DNX408.
The gears are indeed MOD1, this seems to be the 'industry standard' for this class.
The 21 I have is currently on the end of a 1900 motor, I'm not sure what to run on a 2050kV motor. Working on simple ratios, I'd probably start out on a 19T.

Dirt tyres, there's a whole host of them out there. The best 'all round' option would be Something like M3 Crimefighter or AKA CityBlock or Impact. They're easy to come by and will work well on 90% of tracks...

I see the US customers are starting to receive their kits over on RC Tech forum. Seems a shame that the US customers get theirs first, I thought Durango was a UK company?

Some of the US customers are starting to race their cars now...

Yes, it is a shame. We got the DNX408 first so I guess it's their turn. The electric market is evidently already pretty big in the US compared to the UK.
