Team Durango 2WD mid motor buggy prototype

Team Durango have released a first sneaky teaser image of what could be the successor of the popular DEX210 2WD off-road buggy. The front end, with the characteristic chassis connection “button” looks to be taken over from the standard 210 car but the rear end, with the lack of a motor cooling plate, hints towards a new design that could house both a longitudinal motor or a “low rider” gearbox as seen on Yokomo’s YZ-2 buggy and one or the other aftermarket gearbox for the Team Associated B5M. We bring you more updates on this car as we get them.

Brilliant RC 200cc nitro fuel gun

New from Brilliant RC comes a handy fuel gun made from high-quality materials. Thanks to the short front body and the ergonomic design of the handle the gun allows for easy and swift refuelling while minimising the chances of errors during pitting at the same time. The optimised, extra short nozzle with integrated auto-stop ensures a maximum filling of the tank and an extra large intake makes it very easy to fill the 200cc reservoir of the gun which also features easy to read volume markings down the side. The cap is attached to the body by a chain so it cannot get lost and the cap and all other necessary areas the fuel gun are sealed using high quality O-rings to prevent the gun from leaking. Included are two suitable stays to place the gun when not in use.

Team C 30mm ESC heatsink fan mount

Following the 25mm ESC heatsink fan mount Team C now also have a version available for speed controllers with a 30mm fan mounting pattern. Designed mainly for touring car applications and made from black or orange anodised aluminium the fan mount attaches to the speed controller’s heatsink in order to place the included 30mm WTF fan unit at an angle. This setup can improve the cooling of the speed controller while also blowing towards the motor, allowing to spare the additional motor fan for less amp draw and reduced weight.
