HPI Savage 17mm aluminium wheel hex hub set

Coming from HPI and made for the Savage line of 1/8th monster trucks is the aluminium wheel hex hub set. It allows to add a huge range of option wheels and tyres to the truck as they take virtually all industry standard 1/8th buggy and truggy wheels. The black anodised finish matches any paint scheme, and the 17mm hex hub replaces the standard Savage hex hub, held in place with an M5 locking nut. A large, black, serrated 17mm nut holds the wheel securely in place for racing or bashing duties. The set includes four 17mm hex hubs to outfit one Savage monster truck.

Team Durango DEX210F mid motor 2WD buggy

Team Durango’s DEX210F shaft-driven mid motor buggy, as it was used at the 2015 IFMAR Electric Buggy World Championships, is soon available for the public. Making use of the front section of the DEX210v3 and the back-end of the DEX410v5, the car is purpose-designed for high-grip astro turf, carpet and clay surfaces thanks to its special weight distribution. The battery and motor layout can be easily adapted by using saddle or shorty LiPo packs and a front or mid motor configuration to accommodate different track conditions easily. The power is transferred by a heavy duty slipper clutch and a lightweight gear differential with composite inserts. The chassis is a wide 6061 aluminium plate to which an aluminium rear bulkhead with carbon fibre shock tower attaches. New hard-anodised aluminium suspension mounts with composite inserts allow easy toe and anti-squat changes while the rear Multi-Axle driveshafts help to adjust the on-power steering characteristics by using different length driveshafts. The kit, that will become available shortly, is topped off by a new mid cab design bodyshell.

Team Durango DEX410v5 – Full details

Following a first teaser Team Durango now have more images and information on the forthcoming DEX410v5 1/10th electric 4WD buggy available. The backbone of the partly redesigned buggy is a wider 6061 aluminium main chassis that allows for a multitude of electronic configurations. The buggy can be run with saddle pack LiPos who can be shifted forth and back while the use of a shorty LiPo battery allows to run the motor in a front or rear position. Along with the new chassis goes a redesigned rear bulkhead assembly with zero rear kick-up for an ultra-low differential placement. The new design is meant to increase rear-end traction while creating a forgiving handling style on all surfaces.
