Scale detail at a low price is the combination that makes the 1/10 scale Evader DT from DuraTrax one-of-a-kind. Killer custom style surrounds the tough-as-nails 2WD chassis, with realistic off-road wheels and tires that tuck neatly beneath the painted pre-runner body. Bumpers, skid plate, roll bar, light bars, mirrors, truck bed with cooler and functional spare tire all add up to an RTR rig that rocks. Hit the throttle of the included Tactic radio and imagine you’re ripping up a riverbank, catching air and coming down easy, confident that if a Stress-Tech part breaks, DuraTrax will replace it free.

Team Durango have released further details about the new DEX410 buggy together with the release date and pricing. According to Durango, the buggy was originally conceived pre ‘credit-crunch’ and is a no-compromise specification with a huge number of new features for the class, all of which is reflected in the price. Team Durango considered not launching this high spec car and launching a dumbed-down version instead, however racer interest has been so high, and running costs seem to be much lower than current cars out there, that Team Durango will push forward with the ultimate spec as the launch car. The company will however later release the buggy in a more cost friendly version, called the DEX410R which is expected to launch around September with a standard specification and perhaps even the class standard ball differentials. Expect the DEX410R to have a street price of around $390 (€306, £270), while the ultimate launch spec DEX410, expected to be released in late June, will be around $650 in the shops, which is around €510 or £450 in Europe when sales taxes are added.
