TQ Racing SX10 SC RTR

TQ Race Products adds to their presence in the Short Course market with the introduction of SX10 SC RTR. The SX10 SC factory built Pro Roller showed immediate success by finishing in 2nd Place in both Stock and Modified Classes at the 2010 ROAR Off-Road Nationals and since then, it has become a winner at tracks around the world. Now TQ introduces a RTR (Ready to Run) version of this championship level competitor. Using many of the same parts and geometry as the Pro Roller, the RTR will also be factory assembled but features a 2.4 GHz transmitter and receiver, servo and a brushless speed control/motor combo. After adding your own battery and charger, you will be ready to
compete at the track, in the yard or on the street.

Team Durango DESC410R update

Having brought you the first photos of the new DESC410R at the start of the week, Durango have released an additional image to better show the standard rear bumper. Smaller than those seen on other cars, as it is a race spec car so they didn’t want to add too much weight, the bumper does a good job of protecting the car from nose up landings without throwing you off the racing line. Finally, they wanted to say that the tires shown in the photos will not be included in the kit, as racers will buy what’s best for their track.
