Team Durango have released a first proper teaser photo of their forthcoming DETC410 4WD electric touring car kit. The vehicle is in development for some time now and already proved its performance during this year’s BRCA nationals in the hands of Elliott Harper. Team Durango have yet to release the full features and specifications list but looking at the teaser image the car will likely feature all-aluminium bulkheads, aluminium suspension mounts with inserts for the suspension geometry, the shocks are of standard length and you can also spot aluminium driveshafts, wheel hex adapters and a low-profile motor mount. There is no definite release date yet but it is understood that the kit is ready to hit the stores very soon.

Savöx SW-1210SG waterproof servo

Savöx Germany introduce the waterproof SW-1210SG standard size servo. Actually being slightly taller than what is considered “standard size” the 42mm high servo offers 20kg-cm of torque and a speed of 0.15s at 6.0V input. It features metal gears and a coreless motor making it ideal for all heavy duty applications such as monster trucks and generally all cars where torque is needed over speed and the slightly taller case is not an issue.

Shepherd Velox V10 competition clutch

Shepherd announce the release of the high performance competition clutch set for the Velox V10. Included in the set are the optional aluminium clutch bell, an updated flywheel and the optional yellow clutch shoe. The combination of these parts is meant improve the acceleration significantly due to a 35 percent weight saving compared to the standard clutch with the old-design flywheel. The yellow clutch shoe also is machined from a special high grip material that is a bit harder than the standard black material. Due to the high friction surface the whole clutch assembly produces less slip for increased acceleration, especially when running on high-grip surfaces or with high RPM engaging points.
