Revolution Design Racing Products announce the release of two new option parts for the Team Durango 210 and 410 series of off-road vehicles. First up is the Titanium Shock Mount Long, a part that is designed to replace the kit’s original steel shock mount or the screw, nut and plastic cap construction found on the newer 1/10th kits. The shock mount is of a 1-piece quick release design to allow for fast and easy setup changes by simply undoing the fastening nut on the shock tower and relocating the shock. The simplified design incorporates much less parts than the stock mount, looks better and is much more reliable due to the high-strength titanium material used. The shock mount is a direct replacement for the kit parts and fits all Team Durango 1/10th off-road vehicles such as the ‘210 and ‘410 series buggies and trucks.
