DEX410 - Easy to setup and work on?

[/tobys]

I'm considering my choice of 4WD car for this season and the DEX410R is on my shortlist. As the R is very similar to the regular DEX410, I am making the assumption that they will perform very similarly and so reasonible to base my decision on researching the more expensive version.

The car looks superb, no denying that!

However, there seems to be an awful lot of things to tune and I'm wondering if a "standard" setup exists and if so, how much deviation is made from this typically on a track-to-track basis? Of particular interest is the use of Oil filled diffs - I'm used to Ball Diffs and the fact they usually get set and left between rebuilds. However, with the Oil-filled nature of the diffs bringing a viable (and reproducable) tuning aid, I'm wondering how much these actually get changed once you are happy with the balance of the car and have derived a base setup?

Also, what is it like to get spares, as the website seems to fluctuate between in-stock and out of stock of the actual kit?

Thanks
