;e DEX210’s chassis is super rigid and this is achieved through precise, tight tolerances. During the building process, the aluminum chassis plate uses composite side chassis plates to make it more rigid. When installing the forward chassis side plates, tighten its screws half way until all the pieces are in place, then tighten the screws all the way. ;is will make everything interlock and align easier. Place a small drop of CA glue to the short trailing screw used to install the side composite rails that hold your electronics. ;ere is very little material used that it’s easy to strip if you overtighten.

PRO TIPS

Build your di; right If you’ve built a few kits and are a seasoned racer, you know how to build and adjust your di;. ;e DEX210 has a couple special pieces that you have to pay attention to during assembly for that buttery-smooth di; action you desire. When installing the thrust bearing assembly, put the thrust washer with the smaller inside diameter against the head of the di; screw and when you mount the thrust bearing, face the opened end of it towards the thrust washer with the larger inner diameter. When securing the thrust bearing assembly into the di; outdrive with the circle clip, make sure to place the clip’s “rounded” side towards the thrust bearing. ;e flatter side will sit against the outdrive to hold everything securely in place.

VERSATILE
GEARBOX

;e DEX210 has can be either a mid- or rear-motor buggy. ;e di ;erence with this buggy though is the ability to have the motor on the right or left side. ;e theory behind this concept is whether you want the rotation of the motor to go the same way or opposite rotation of the rear wheels. ;e gearbox itself can accept three or four gears to alter the rotation of the di; gear.

ALUMINUM CHASSIS

A rigid chassis is always the strong backbone of any good car. ;e DEX210 uses a 2.5mm aluminum chassis plate that is sti;ened composite side rails. ;ere is plenty of space for any electronics package you desire and has clever routing holes for the servo and speed control leads. ;e DEX210’s chassis can be configured to accept standard-length stick packs, shorty packs and saddle packs.

Durango designed the DEX210 to use only one body that is complimented with di;erent “cowls” that accommodate the four di;erent motor configurations.

ADJUSTMENT
INSERTS

Sometimes being too
adjustable of a car can
be a double-edged
sword. It’s perfect for the
seasoned racer who has
more experience with
tuning a car, while on the
other hand, the beginner/
intermediate racer might
find too many adjustments
overwhelming. Not so
with the DEX210 and
its adjustment inserts.
Easy-to-swap-out plastic
inserts allow you quickly
and precisely change
front axle inline/trailing
positing, front caster and
the rear toe-in adjustment.
Every insert you shall ever
need is included with the
DEX210, which cuts down
on having to buy expensive
optional parts.

Its been a while since I have raced a 1/10-scale 2WD buggy and the Durango DEX210 has made my
comeback to this class a breeze. With 1/10-scale 2WD electric buggies making a comeback, this buggy
couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. If you take your time and build (follow my build on RCCarAction.com) the DEX210 right, it
will reward you with exceptional handling, precise racing lines, all while being easy to drive. I’ve only scratched the surface on all the
adjustments the DEX210 possesses to unlock its full potential, but one thing can be said for sure, I will have a blast doing it!
