Exotek DEX210v3 MM chassis kit & alloy wing mounts

Coming from Exotek are a new 7075 alloy chassis conversion for the Team Durango DEX210v3 in MM configuration and also aluminium wing mounts for the same buggy. Starting with the chassis conversion, the kit was designed and tested with the feedback of factory drivers, bringing the trusted DEX210 buggy to the forefront of mid motor clay track performance as the MM chassis allows lateral shorty battery positioning for optimal performance on indoor clay tracks. The 2.5mm 7075 alloy bottom plate offers optimised stiffness and strength and it comes with machined bolt-on side rails made from black delrin. The much narrower profile improves ground clearance and the easy LiPo access makes working on the car a breeze while the upper plate also allows for forward or rearward battery mounting. Also included with the chassis kit, that makes for a 2mm shorter wheelbase compared to the v3’s, comes a 7075 alloy nose plate. The narrower chassis, that also fits the v1 and v2 variants of the DEX210, accommodates all TLR 22 3.0 bodies such as the ones from Pro-Line and JConcepts.
