Team Durango has released the newly updated DESC410 4wd short course truck. The new truck features new geometry, suspension, arms, bumpers, big bore shocks and more!
Team Durango Press Release:
The DESC410v2 kit is a Pro-spec race kit based on the successful DESC410R, a kit that has won many races all over the world since its release. The DESC410v2 has been loaded with plenty of heavy-duty options we have in our product line, as well as receiving some updates to parts to increase their on-track toughness. The DESC410v2 has already won in the hands of Pro Team driver Ryan Lutz, who won the 4wd SC class at the 2012 AMS 3.0 race in the USA.
Race Proven Geometry
Championship-winning, race-proven layout and geometry, inspired by the original DESC410R model. Team Durango has improved the suspension geometry by adding an additional shock mounting hole on the front suspension arm which is further-out from the original hole.
Center Differential
The optional Team Durango centre-diff is included in the Pro-spec DESC410v2 , as standard. For DESC410R owners, this option part proved essential for improving both handling and durability, as well as fine-tuning adjustability.
Machine Cut Ring Gears
Another option part for the DESC410R is the machine cut 42T differential ring gears. These super heavy-duty machine cut gears are included in the DESC410v2 as standard, making the drive-train of this Pro-spec kit incredibly robust and durable.
Machined Aluminum Suspension Hangers (blocks)
Familiar to owners of our World- and European-Championship winning buggy (DEX410v3), the DESC410v2 comes complete with precision machined aluminium suspension hangers, front and rear. These beautifully crafted items offer increased toughness and durability out-of-the-box. For Team Durango levels of tuneability, the rear suspension hanger uses moulded composite inserts to give multiple anti-squat settings, allowing you to fine-tune your DESC410v2 to any track conditions.
Updated Suspension Arms
Updated suspension arms, front and rear, have been made even stronger for increased durability on the toughest tracks and under the roughest conditions.
Lightweight Shock Towers
These moulded composite shock towers have been engineered to offer similar toughness as the aluminium towers, as seen on the DESC410R kit, but with less weight.
Aluminum Shock Seal
Aluminium shock seal housing caps included for increased strength and durability.
Full Rear Bumpers
Both large and small rear bumpers are included in the DESC410v2 as standard. Tough moulded composite bumpers give the DESC410v2 a classic Short Course look.
Sway Bars Included
Sway bars are included as standard, for both the front and rear. These have have been a very popular option on the DESC410R kit, so Team Durango has made them a standard part on the Pro-spec DESC410v2.
Low Center of Gravity
The low centre of gravity design of the DESC410v2 has a near perfect weight distribution front-to-rear and side-to-side, for predictable and stable handling corner to corner, time and again. The compact layout keeps body roll to a minimum yet has plenty of room for electrics whilst the optional under-body cover can be purchased separately to protect the electronics from the worst conditions you'll see on any race track.
