Team Durango DESC210R 2WD Short Course Truck Kit



New from Team Durango:

The DESC210R 2WD Short Course Truck kit uses many of the ground breaking features introduced on the hugely successful DEX210 buggy. It includes the option to run mid or rear motor, 3 or 4 gear layout, an option never before seen on a Short Course Truck. Already a winner in the 4WD Short Course class with our DESC410R, Team Durango is taking 2WD Short Course racing to the next level.

The DESC210R is unique. That is why our 'Hybrid technology' gearbox design has a patent application (No: 2 486 513). The DESC210R allows you, the racer, to choose if you want the motor to be in rear- or mid-motor position. Not only that, you can decide whether you want the motor to be on the left- or right-hand side of the car. All of these configuration options are available with the same gearbox unit and without altering the suspension geometry. This ability, to tune the weight distribution and torque orientation of the motor, without changing your suspension set-up, is what makes the DESC210R a unique Short Course Truck. The DESC210R is arguably the most tuneable yet user-friendly pro electric off road Short Course Truck kit available today.
  • Rear motor layout, with 3-gears (one idler gear) Suited to: - Low Traction / Dirt
  • Mid motor layout, with 4-gears (two idler gears). Suited to: - High Traction
  • Rear motor layout, with 4-gears (two idler gears) Suited to: - Very Low Traction / Dirt
  • Rear motor layout, with 3-gears (one idler gear) Suited to: - Very High Traction

The DESC210R comes with Team Durango's 'Fat Shock' Big Bore shock absorbers. Already race proven on the '2012 Reedy Invitational' winning DEX210 buggy, our Big Bore shocks keep the DESC210R nimble and planted. With a full range of optional Big Bore springs available, the DESC210R can be fine-tuned for any track and any condition. A full range of pistons is included in the kit - we even include blank pistons so you can drill your own for the ultimate in shock tuning.

A first for Team Durango kits, the DESC210R makes use of our 'Team Durango Injection Moulded Engineering Composite Chassis'. Manufactured from precise specifications, the flex and strength offered by the DESC210R's chassis makes it forgiving and fast to drive. With the addition of adjustable battery position you can also balance the chassis out for perfect weight distribution on any track.

Getting the setup options you want without expensive optional parts is what the DESC210R is all about. Using specially designed inserts to change rear toe-in, and front caster. The axle spins on bearings seated in the hubs which allows the same wheel hex fitment front and rear.

The DESC210R is an ultra-adjustable platform, designed to be tuned to any track or condition you can throw it at. We believe the DESC210R has more setup and tuning options in-the-kit than any other 2WD Short Course Truck - here is just a small list of the features that make the DESC210R such a ground-breaking Short Course Truck:
  • Rear anti-squat and toe adjustment
  • Patent application (No: 2 486 513) gearbox design: allows mid- or rear-motor configurations where the motor can be set left-or right-handed, all within one gearbox mould
  • Team Durango DNA - world class, race proven, engineering and design
  • Team Durango Injection Moulded Engineering Composite Chassis for enhanced chassis flex and superior traction and handling
  • Team Durango Big Bore shock absorbers and composite shock towers
  • Ball diff. as standard with option geared diff. available
  • Team Durango styled Short Course Truck bodyshell
  • Stick or saddle battery pack compatible
  • Captive rear CVD driveshafts
  • 15mm hex wheels front and rear

TD102009 - $299.00

Do like...the chassis anyway. But please, for the love of all that's holy get a better body on there. That thing fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. Then, bounced on a trampoline and went back up where it met and shook hands with the latest cab forward buggy bodies.

Damn It!!.......Durango was doing so great with their bodies, even though the truggy was crap forward, it still looked half way OK....and the buggy was still the traditional cab body, then they drop this thing out of no where.....What Happened?.....Old School RC1 hit the nail on the head!!.....
