Default Durango racers ?

Hi all. I have bought and now use a dex210f and I am sitting here wondering if I am the only person who has one. Does Durango have a uk team
?. Do the team drivers offer support to the club racers in terms of advice ?. It just seems very quiet on here with Durango threads.

There is definitely a UK team, if you head over to the durango site and look in news you'll see some there.
I myself drive mostly dex8 and dex410v5, and a bit of 2wd.
Would be nice to see some more chat on here about them.

If you use Facebook, I'd check out their page https://www.facebook.com/OfficialTeamDurango. They occasionally share the pages of their team drivers that you might be able to get in contact with.

Ran my dex210f last night again, went great but has a tendency to raise at the rear under acceleration. Tends to leave the inside rear spinning a little on corner exit. Any suggestions ?

do you mean that it cocks the inside rear wheel in the corner? roll bars do that sometimes, because the outside shock is getting compressed then what the roll bar does is try to compress the inside shock to keep the car flat, but if you are hitting the corner fast the car will roll and cock the inside wheel. no roll bar could solve this by letting the car roll and letting the inside shock stay decompressed (if you know what i mean) or a heavier roll bar could solve this to try and keep the car flatter if the grip is really high

Itseems to lift up the inner rear wheel under acceleration out of A corner

It is the torque reaction from the shaft drive, ever ridden a BMW with the old shaft drive.
I have seen another one near here that does the same thing, hence why all the top makes had gone to spur and pinion drive

I have tried it with the anti roll bar on and off, various levels of droop and messed around with the anti squat and it still does it so the idea of the torque reaction maybe the cause. My tm2 v2 didn't seem to do this as far as I can recall so I never considered that really on the basis the layout was similar.
