Team Durango DEX410v5 – Coming soon

Team Durango DEX410v5 – Coming soon

Coming in February is Team Durango’s latest incarnation of the popular DEX410 1/10th 4WD off-road buggy. The v5 kit will receive a redesigned, wider chassis with longer wheelbase for improved stability in all racing conditions. A revised rear end geometry adds rear grip which translate into more forgiveness while the chassis design allows to use saddle or shorty LiPo batteries in multiple configurations. Also included is the Easy Mesh motor mount system that allows to reposition the motor without optional parts and also included are Team Durango’s new Multi-Axle driveshafts that first round their way into the recently released DEX210v3 2WD buggy. The different length driveshafts help to adjust how the vehicles “squares up” on power. The kit is rounded out by a combined slipper clutch and centre differential as well as a new bodyshell and the 410v5 will become available by February.

Team Losi Racing have announced the signing of Tanner Denney to its Factory Team. The former long time Associated driver brings years of experience and race winning results to the team including countless JConcepts Indoor National wins, KBRL Series wins, ROAR National finalist and the coveted Reedy Race Open Class Champion to name just a few.

To round out the deal, Denney will be making the switch to run the new Spektrum servos in all of his 1/10 and 1/8 vehicles. In the horsepower department, Denney will also be making a change to Team Orion.
