I'm impressed with Travis' scratchbuilding skills if that's home-made!
He has managed to make a car that looks exactly like the car I'm doing the instruction manual for right now.

a serious answer for those interested...

the DEX210F is a DEX210v2 front end with an all-new chassis and all-new rear end design/geometry.
The layout was chosen because we think this is the best option for the big-picture range of TD products and also based for performance on high-traction tracks.
I think Tebo choosing the shaft car after testing laydown and shaft car really goes a long way to back up that choice

This is not a special car made for the worlds, this is a car made and designed for production and performance on medium grip Carpet and high grip Astroturf tracks all around the world

This car is the first of the next generation of TD cars which have shown their worth quite recently

Fair enough Chris, it was all the counter sunk holes drilled... and the 4wd rear/2wd front end, and easy to cut angles that made my untrained eye thing it was home made. I guess the chassis stiffeners give it away though.

Good point about the format, its working for Tebo (compared with the (new) other kyosho car Naoto is using), and I dare say that Ty Tessman would be in a better place if he was running Richard Lowe's D413/B5m cut'n'shut along the same lines.

Good luck with it.

I'm currently running two dex210s one with a 8mm chassis. I was going to upgrade to the dex210v2 but i think i will wait and see what come's out of the Team Durango stable.

Is there an infill piece to close the open area between the chassis cradle and the angle the rear of the chassis is cut at, right below the ESC and lipo?

Is this the car that was used at the Invernational? I never got chance to have a look.

Looks very similar to the RB6 shaft drive version that Tebo is running and thats working pretty good too.

Out of interest why is the shaft drive better than say a 3 gear or 4 gear tranny on astro turf. .

....and with the Cougar KF2 orlowski is running its very similar layout but belt drive is that a middle ground between the two extremes or worst still than a shaft.

Its all very interesting since I used to run a TC3 years ago when I gave up and everyone said (torque steer etc = belt is better)

Any reason the nose looks so fat? I see no reason it can't be slimmed up a bit, there's a lot of empty space up front.

Judging from all the countersunk holes, the extra space up front could be for an alternate motor configuration with saddle packs.

The DEX210 (MM/RM) 2WD platform will still remain current and be developed. the DEX210F will run along side that car as the focussed medium-high traction 2WD car.

Can't give any details on release dates yet, first news on those (and ore details on the car) will come via www.team-durango.com website

This is a VERY exciting new car, A lot of time, thought, effort and development has gone into this car. One of the optional layouts has been seen before, but hasn't that always been the case? (rear motor stick pack 2WD cars, the first mid-motor 2WD cars)
The performance comes from the details and tuneability of the car, the features that the car has to allow you to get the car working the way YOU want it to.
The DEX210F has these kind of useful features.

(Yes it was the same car that myself and James Ambrose used at oOple race)
Interestingly too, I used the car in 2 rounds of practise at the Euros on dirt and my best lap was actually better with the DEX210F. But it was too risky to run the car if the track lost traction. (the track had polished in previous events and I was concerned that would happen again - it didn't, it gained grip! haha)

Finally, regarding the toqrue steer, I think with brushless motors the rotor is far lighter than the armatures used to be from brushed motors. I think any effect is far less with the brushless generation.

It would be nice to see that rear end configuration in the 4wd buggy. Bruce C.

I think it looks a fair car lots of space and that was one I lacked with my db2

Be interesting to see it at club level

The first thing that will happen is the kit page on http://www.team-durango.com/ will go live after that any offical dates will be released.

Its an exciting new platform for Team Durango and is going to be great for astro and carpet tracks.
