Brian Kinwald testing the DESC410R

Team Durango are reporting that for the last month, two-time World Champion Brian Kinwald, has been testing the DESC410R. Asking Brian how he felt the testing had gone he said “After driving a few different 4wd Short Course trucks I can honestly say that the Team Durango DESC410R feels like you’re cheating! When you’re out on the track it has more steering and superior suspension capabilities over any other truck by far. I won’t name names, but many top drivers have seen it run and they all say the same thing, ‘That’s not even fair’. I have only run it for a few weeks and already I’m in love…” Thanks to Brian’s work, Durango are getting close to announcing the final launch date of this new car.

Hot Bodies D8 Trick body

Developed by Atsushi Hara and coming close to winning the World title, Hot Bodies have released the Trick body for the D8. This body is a performance enhancing part that will lower your lap times. A steep angled cab forward design provides high downforce in the front end of the car while side pod wings provide downforce in the rear, making high traction and stability all around. In Hara’s own words, this body gives more controllable front traction without giving away rear traction. Molded from clear polycarbonate plastic for durability and long life it comes supplied with complete decal sheet with official logos, overspray film and pre-cut vinyl window masks.
