Revolution Design 210 Series steering plate R2

The Revolution Design 210 Series aluminium steering plate R2 is specially designed for the Team Durango 210 series vehicles including the DEX210, DEST210 and DESC210. The plate is totally redesigned from scratch and sports a new vertical inner ball stud position. This in combination with a more central and lower position of the ball studs does away with the need to use countless shims on the outer steering blocks in order to achieve zero bump steer. The steering plate is a direct replacement for the stock part and is CNC-machined from aircraft-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and comes black anodised and laser-etched for easy identification and a cool factory look.

RDRP 210 series low roll centre suspension mounts

The RDRP 210 Series Low-Roll-Center Suspension Mount Set is specially designed for the Team Durango 210 series vehicles including the DEX210, DEST210 and DESC210. The LCR suspension mounts lower the vehicle’s rear roll centre by 2mm in order to improve handling on medium to low-grip surfaces or when running spec tyres. Included in the set are the RF suspension mount as well as three RR mounts in the form of the 0/3, 1.5/3 and 3/3 variant. All parts are machined from aircraft-quality 7075-T6 aluminium, come black anodised and laser-etched for easy identification and a cool factory look. The blocks are a direct fit on the recently announced Plus11 DEX210 Aluminium Chassis. DEX210 buggies with standard or aftermarket chassis and the DEST210 and DESC210 may require some do-it-yourself work in the wishbone/chassis area in order to give enough clearance for the arms.
