Durango DEX410R announced - and DEX410 Price

[jimmy]

Team Durango have at long last announced the price for the long-long-awaited 'Durango' electric buggy, the DEX410. At the same time, and possibly to cushion the blow at the high price of that car in this economic climate, a 'sport' version of the car has also been announced with a lower spec called the DEX410R, though details are yet to be finalised.

Street price for the real-deal DEX410 is said to be US$650, €510 or £450 - making it the most expensive 10th electric buggy in production, though the quality also speaks for itself.

Team Durango is proud to reveal the official WEBSITE, SPEC and PRICE of their eagerly awaited DEX410 – 4WD Electric off road 1/10 scale competition buggy.

Designed and engineered in Germany, the DEX410 has been in development for several years, with the prototypes being raced by famous Champions like Craig Drescher, Atsushi Hara, Hupo Hönigl, Mark Pavidis, Marc Reinhard and many more.

The production version of this prototype car - that has five times made the World’s top ten & seven times the Euro’s top ten - will soon be ready for public release!

Estimated public launch end of June’09

Team Durango is “serious about racing” so the cars are defined by their engineering precision, attention to race-winning detail, innovative design and ground-breaking features.



Features NEW to this racing class – FASTER ON THE TRACK & less time in the pits
For best handling -
·Super stiff and ultra narrow aluminium chassis with unique transmission give perfect weight distribution and low centre of gravity
Maximum power -
·Metal gear differentials for zero slip and tuning options from the diff oil
Minimal maintenance & wear -
·Shock-absorber & drive shaft protective drive-boots
·Sealed gear differentials
Fast even in the pits -
·Quick-release battery mounts (Sub-C / LiPo), slipper-clutch and spur-gear
·Incredibly quick diff access (only 6 screws to remove diff & centre UJ)
·Quick release mini radio tray for ESC & RX


Pricing –
The DEX410 was conceived pre-“credit-crunch” and is a no-compromise specification with a huge number of new features for the class; this is reflected in the price.

Team Durango considered not launching this ultimate spec car and launching a dumbed-down version instead, (more in line with the cars already available). However racer interest has been so high, and running costs seem to be much lower than current cars out there, that Team Durango is going for it, with the ultimate spec as the launch car.
Due to the “credit crunch” the DEX410R will follow with its launch around September, with a much more normal 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 will be around $650 in the shops. That’s around €510 or £450 in Europe when sales taxes are added.)

Got to say the whole look, layout, concept and design for everything to do with this car is top notch, looking forward to seeing it in the flesh......

Id probably get one if it took normal Lipo's

[_sleigh_]

What's not normal about saddle pack LiPo's?? There are plenty of legal ones (the best obviously being the LRP 40c )

Spelling mistake in the above Phil, you spelt Vampire wrong, you added an L by mistake, got the R and P the wrong way round and missed out 5 other letters too, tut tut (LOL)

[Doomanic]

Will you be stocking it Darren?

Sure they'll fit Phil? It's a tight squeeze, trying to remember the pics but I have a vague feeling cell locators = will not fit!

[Full Metal Jacket]

I like to get one too but the price is also amazing too!

Might get one if it's a limited edition, otherwise may be wait for the DEX410R.

Anyway, anyone know about the DEX410 is the limited production or not please.

[Darren Boyle]

As far as I can see the only thing that "may" make it limited will be the lack of people selling it......... I hope I am wrong

I hope so too but I think may be TD UK doing it in purpose by seeling direct to end users in order to keep its price at USD650. Direct sales, good or not which hard to said, it seems even direct sales the price not cheap, plus need to pay shipping unless TD UK is going to handle it and I hope USD650 already included UK VAT!
DEX 410 expensive to me, so I will probably wait for the R version, but I also concern is the parts ordering in the future, one- two parts also need to get by mail order unless each time I order plenty as spares!
