You all make very good points. I was not implying that Durango "copied the 22" because we all know the 210 was in development before the 22. But it is a VERY similar buggy. In looks and features. TLR just beat them to release. Too bad for Durango really. I am sure TLR grabbed thousands of sales that would have gone to Durango simply by having more people power to get the 22 to market sooner.

Although the 210 does have some interesting features I think the 410 was far more innovative.

Either way it is going to be a great buggy and win some championships.

Cool kit, it’s kind of what I envisioned the next gen AE buggy looking like.

lots of bells and whistles....can't stand those stupid front shock towers these days.....just stick a smaller one behind the shocks...

will you use the 210 over the losi when it arrive's darryn?

Yeah - spot on mate, I get frustrated with Durango sometimes because they let too much be seen by other companies. I wasnt pointing the finger at you - more some of the "armchair experts" that reside on R/C Tech that have been racing for 5 minutes - yet know everything their is to know about the hobby.

I love the the way my 22 drives - its a very stable yet highly responsive car to drive, I have barely een started to tune to get the most from it. I am sure the 210 is going to be that and more. I have a few decisions to make for next season (our season is winding down now), and it aint going to be easy as both companies have plenty to offer the racer/enthusiast. Nice position to be in though.

We should have ours VERY soon.

Another buggy to watch out for will be the new VENOM buggy, I have been involved in the testing and building of prototypes, and have driven it in anger - it is truly BRILLIANT to drive and will be a killer price when released - it also has some VERY cool features. We are sorting through final composites and moldings at the moment and we are quite excited about the future for this car along with the Gambler SC truck which has been doing quite well.

Is there anything thats not adjustable? Looks nice though. Seems to be priced similar to a FT B4.1.

Site looks like it has a Jimmy Story touch to it.

My early x-mas gift to myself...

Just got my Dex210 this week. I wanted a second buggy that I could set up in a mid-motor configuration as my home raceway is building an outdoor European style carpet track (to be ready by spring). I’ll post build pics as soon as the buggy’s together. I still plan on running my B4.1 on the dirt/clay tracks, since I converted it to the long chassis it works too damn good to switch and start over with a new car.
