Default DIMEC chassis (Spec B)
So just going to order a spare Dimec from MB and find they only seem to be showing the Dimec20 (TD320220) no sign of the 'flexy' Dimec I'm after..<edit> did find one in the end.

Go to the team Durango site instead and they are showing the Dimec (TD320163) required but also 'Coming Soon' DIMEC CHASSIS DEX 210 (+8mm) (Spec B) (TD320229)

Anyone know what a Spec B is? Is it worth waiting for?

<edit> Went to the Durango website today and the Spec B chassis has been removed.... very strange.....

Spec B is the updated chassis that solves the breakage issues.

Looks like someone at Durango accidently posted them too early then!

I guess they are going to wait for the old ones to sell out before they advertise the spec b.

I just hope they have allowed for running of zero degrees anti squat and some rear droop this time without having to hack chunks of the chassis away

are you running zero degrees anti squat? And also have you not noticed a reduced amount of droop with the plastic chassis compared to the std one?

I'd imagine they need to burn through the RTR stock first before they launch a new chassis to everybody that just bought a new car.

Would the truck chassis (210R) be suitable for the buggy? Its longer and also guess a new shell would be needed due to that?

Also does it make the car more stable and easier to drive?

Are there any other bodies that fit the dimec chassis other than durango one? Will the Punnisher fit?

Check out the Rc Penguin shells on the bay,I've got one on my 210 and it looks superb

They do a few different designs aswell.
Only about £12 plus postage.
