Team Durango DEX210v3 2WD buggy kit

Team Durango’s popular DEX210 2WD off-road has received a make-over and it is soon available in the latest v3 variant. The buggy is still based on a hard-anodised aluminium chassis, it features spacious composite plastic side pods for the electronics and includes Team Durango’s patent-pending Hybrid gearbox that allows to run the buggy in 3 or 4-gear mid or gear motor configurations straight from the box. The adjustable battery mount can utilise standard length straight packs, saddle or shorty pack batteries, and the v3 kit is even more versatile than its predecessors with the introduction of the Multi-Axle driveshafts that allow to run the driveshaft’s cross pin in an inner or an outer position which has a direct influence on the on-power steering characteristics. Also new with the DEX210v3 are two sets of wheel hex adapters, standard TD 14mm hexes as well as new O-ring equipped 12mm variants that securely keep the drive pin in place while being compatible with most industry-standard 12mm hex rims. Other features include a ball differential, HD composite ballcups, and a newly designed bodyshell.

Avid TLR22 3.0 Aura ceramic bearing sets

Coming from Avid and made for the TLR22 3.0 2WD buggy are three Aura ceramic bearing sets. The ultra high-quality bearings offer minimal drag and maximised precision thanks to high speed nylon ball retainers, Si3N4 ceramic balls, tight tolerances, and a treatment with high-speed oil. Available are a full 16-piece set for the gearbox and hubs as well as separate 8-piece gearbox and hub sets. The latter contains single metal shielded bearings to keep dirt away from the delicate parts while both the gearbox and full set also include open, no-shield bearings for those parts of the buggy that are not exposed to dust, dirt and moisture.

MCD RR5 Ultimate CF Limited Edition kit

MCD have introduced their latest gasoline-powered large scale buggy, the RR5 Ultimate CF Limited Edition. The bolstered-up Ultimate kit includes an arrangement of optional upgrade parts that were tested and used by the MCD Racing team drivers during many races including the European Championships. The alloy upgrades are CNC-machined from 7075 billet material and even though they are metal parts, the heavy machining makes them lighter than the respective composite versions. On top of that all alloy parts are hard-coated in MCD’s signature gun metal anodising to create a hard-wearing surface. The Ultimate kit is limited to 100 pieces only and you can find a list of all parts included after the break.

Reedy Sonic 540-M3 10.5T & 21.5T short stack motors

Reedy’s Sonic 540-M3 brushless motors are now also available in short stack 10.5T and 21.5T variants. A competition-proven short stack stator, wound with pure copper magnet wire and low-resistance collector rings, walks the edge of legality in exchange for maximum power output and RPM. Despite being designed for 1S applications, short stack motors can, under the right circumstances, create a power advantage in 2S applications such as Formula and 4WD GT classes. Like all 540-M3 motors, these new models feature a three-piece, CNC-machined can to reduce weight while improving airflow, component fit, and bearing alignment. Heavy-duty silver-plated solder tabs reduce resistance, feature a cupped profile to aid soldering, and are well supported to prevent internal connections from fatiguing over time. A balanced, high-strength sintered rotor provides fade-free performance thanks to improved manufacturing processes. Both models meet ROAR, EFRA, and IFMAR specifications.
