Durango moulded inserts and cross shaft set

Team Durango’s new moulded inserts and cross shaft set fits the differentials in all Team Durango 1/8th scale models. These parts replace the steel cross shafts and inserts in the differential, offering a huge reduction in weight over the steel parts. The moulded parts are 80% lighter than the steel parts they replace, giving a total weight saving of 22.2g per vehicle. They have been extensively tested by their Pro team who found an increase in acceleration and breaking performance due to the reduction in the rotating mass of their cars’ transmission. The testing has shown that there is no detrimental effect in durability when using these moulded parts. Supplied in a set of 3, which is enough to replace the cross shafts and differential inserts in the front, centre and rear differentials in one vehicle.

Exotek Durango gear cover & hex adapters

Exotek have released this heavy duty CNC machined gear cover for the DEX210, DEST210 and DESC210. The cover allows larger pinion area for stock class racing, allowing up to 37 tooth 48 pitch pinions. Aids in cooling the motor by adding more surface area to the motor mount while a slotted bottom screw mounting allows for easier removal from mid motor configuration. Exotek have also produced a pair of precision 15mm alloy hex adapters for the DESC210 or DESC410. A special design uses a set screw to lock the pesky axle pins in place for worry free wheel changes.
