Dex210 - mid motor config.

[Dazzler]

Just noticed the shots of Chris Doughty's DEX210 at the oOple invernational...

It's in mid motor configuration for those who were wondering what that was like..

nothing gets past you Daz

Any solid info on price / release date?

[mikeyscott]

Nothing solid, but mb models are taking pre orders

[sly]

Someone has posted amainhobbies is $275 which is cheaper the there losi 22 price and at 1.62 dollars to the pound is £170 ish.

I am guessing this version is like the R and will compete with the 22 on price and then later a full fat version will come out with all the alum and cf goodies, as there are very few alum bits on the car in the photo and plastic shock towers.

[Dazzler]

Looks like it has the larger hex drives on the rear wheels too..

Cool. I hope it isn't a case of basic car and then a number of required upgrades.

Each to his own I guess, I thought it looked stunning

if they usw gullwing front arms why dont they put the holes for the shocks in the lowest point. This is just more material on the wrong place. They could have made the gulwing much smoother.
Who designed this car? As far as I know not the same person that made the 401. Cap forward bodies are not a problem any longer now the whole car is ugly

i would be interested to see the saddle/mid motor setup!

Yeh and are they side by side or infront of each other like on the 22 ?

[coleman758]

Maybe arranged like a stick pack end on end?
i cant see how it would work any other way using those same side pods?

maybe there is an alternative pod for saddles?

[Chris-S]

I'd take a guess at the lipo sliding forward for mid motor running. With the car in the rear motor configuration there is a lot of space behind the steering servo and a bit of space between the lipo and rear shock tower.

Unless they use different sidepods, i think the saddle lipos are in stick formation. I guess once we get some body off shots we will know. If the saddles are in a stick layout then its a little cheaky as all cars with sticks lipos can run saddle lipos.

Check the Durango website with a report from the oOple Invernational for some mid layout oics:
