New from Exotek Racing is this heavy duty alloy chassis brace for the HPI Blitz. This brace strengthens the known weakest point in the chassis and protects the front of the chassis from cracking or snapping in half. Available in anodised orange or black and is supplied with the required fasteners.
STRC’s CNC machined turnbuckles will help reduce the weight of your Slash 2WD or HPI Blitz, weighing in at just a hair over quarter of an ounce or only 8 grams for a complete set of six turnbuckles. They are lighter and more economical than even titanium turnbuckles. The strength of 7075-T6 provides the durability for racing and the weight reduction over the suspension components allows for a more agile handling truck, especially in ultra competitive 17.5 stock class racing. Anodized to match their current line of option parts.

In its first appearance at the Team Durango Off-Road Winter Series, the DESC410R took the Top Qualifier spot and the win in the A main. Adam Skelding, Off Road Team Manager for Team Durango UK, said “As the DESC410R got hooked up to the track it was like driving a giant 410R. The SC had so much more drive and corner speed than the other 4wd SC’s I almost took 2 seconds a lap out of them!”

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.
