RDRP DEX210 black aluminium shock towers

Revolution Design Racing Products announce the release of the black colour DEX210 aluminium front and rear shock towers. They are designed to replace the stock plastic shock stay with a cooler looking and more rigid solution. CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and coming anodised black for a more durable finish the RDRP shock towers do not break as the kit’s plastic tower and make for a more solid and therefore precise base for the shock absorbers. The black versions are a colour variant of the already existing gun metal coloured shock stays and both versions are available now.

Japanese option parts company Tresrey introduce new aluminium option parts for Team Durango’s 210 series 2WD off-road vehicles in the form of C-hubs and rear suspension mounts. Starting with the C-hubs, the parts are CNC-machined and do away with the need to use the original caster inserts as they sport a fixed 0 degree angle. This makes for more a more accurately fitting part and makes for less maintenance work. The parts fit on all 210 series buggies and trucks. Also new are aluminium RF and RR front and rear suspension mounts for the rear end of the DEX210 chassis. The standard RF part has a 0 degree kick-up setting while the RR block is of a new low roll centre design with 3 degree toe-in. Both parts combined give 2 degree of kick-up for a lowered roll centre.
