Revolution Design 210 Series steering plate R2

The Revolution Design 210 Series aluminium steering plate R2 is specially designed for the Team Durango 210 series vehicles including the DEX210, DEST210 and DESC210.

This in combination with a more central and lower position of the ball studs does away with the need to use countless shims on the outer steering blocks in order to achieve zero bump steer. The steering plate is a direct replacement for the stock part and is CNC-machined from aircraft-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and comes black anodised and laser-etched for easy identification and a cool factory look.

Tekno RC have produced new carbon fiber shock towers for their SCT410 and EB48.
