Dex410 V3

Just wondered if there is any must have parts that are not included in the kit or any necessary upgrades that are required. Cheers

All I have put on mine are the machine cut gears ( to bombproof gearboxes), alloy servo horn and the alloy Rear gearbox inserts. Not saying they are all needed, but I thought they would strengthen it even more
I have added the rear weight kit to it this weekend at maritime just for a tuning aid.

Your going to love it, good choice of car

Cheers grifss. Any chance of the part number for those parts new mentioned.
Many thanks

Whats the beef with the machined gears, are they new? Whats wrong with the original ones?
The servo saver also I haven't broken my plastic one and had some doosie crashes

[Scotty15]

I still use the standard gears in my buggy but I changed them in my Durango Sc truck just to be safe with running a 550 motor
But I broke 2 servo savers in one meeting with just catching the edge of the circuit. But it had being ok for months before that but with the alloy arm all is fine again

I think they are a bit more tolerant to shimming errors and a bit more durable. The standard gear i failed (not shimmed quite right) looked like someone had gone at it with an angle grinder. Not sure how its made, but it looked like a cast part. (or sintered at a push).

And the alloy servo saver looks better than a plastic one, thats all you need to know....

[GRIFF55]

Nothing wrong with STD diff gears at all. I only put machine cut gears in so they will last longer and as said, be more tolerant to no being shimmed right.
I also run the STD servo saver and have never had a problem, it is the alloy servo horn I use to make sure there are no breakages during races.

Is it the alloy Durango servo horn you're using?

[GRIFF55]

No mate, I am using a losi one with the ball shimmed out using washers to align steering arm. Durango ones are next on my shopping list

[acorn28]

Cheers Griff. Reason I asked is I thought the Durango servo horn was too big, but obviously not. Will definitely upgrade mine.

[mattr]

I've got both, TLR1557 on the 210 and the durango one on the 410. They are pretty much the same length, use the short hole on the durango one, and it matches the original kit part.

Please can you explain to a noob currently building a v3 how or where the gears are shimmed? I thought once the diff was screwed shut the bits would be all set?

[GRIFF55]

There are copper coloured shims that get put onto the crown gear and plastic diff case before the outdrive bearings get put on. These can be moved or extras added to tighten up the meshing. Build the car as the manual says and you should be fine
