DE Racing continue to extend their line of chassis skid and bump skid plates. The original manufacturer of this type of chassis protector, there is new skid plates and bump skids for the Durango DNX408 as well as the JQ Products ‘THE Car’.
Having brought you details on the first two releases from the new series of Vega Elite 2WD race conversions, another very similar conversion is now available, this time for the Tamiya TRF201 buggy. As with the other conversions it features a CNC machined aerospace 7075 alloy tub chassis & gearbox, motor plate heat sink, rear shock tower, bodyshell and more. This new conversion changes the weight distribution of the car, allowing it to jump more level & massively helps in-air control and powered landings.
