Default Team Durango 410R details and pricing

Team Durango have announced the price of their forthcoming DEX410R electric buggy. The budget version of the all singing DEX410, the 'R' version will weigh in at £210 - placing it slap bang in the middle of its closest competitors pricing.



Team Durango:
Team Durango has made its name around top quality and innovative thinking. This no-compromise approach can make Team Durango cars a little too expensive for some, leaving cars like the DEX410 affordable for only the fortunate few. Team Durango ‘R’ kits will change this.

For Team Durango, ‘R’ means Regular Racing specification. Our ‘R’ specification cars share the same Team Durango DNA, performance and innovation, but with a more ‘regular’ specification that is normal or even ‘team-spec’ for most other cars on the market.
Team Durango ‘R’ means performance and innovation, combined with affordability and an accessible, personal upgrade path. Our ‘R’ cars will be available for all Team Durango models as a step-in point for Team Durango ownership, but the no-compromise ‘Team Durango’ premium version will typically arrive first for hard-core Team Durango fans.
Our philosophy is to develop the ‘Team Durango’ ultimate race car first, using handmade test cars and then, later, see where costs can shaved for the “R” version.
At Team Durango we test our theories with hand-made cars, like the DEX210 2wd being raced at the Yatabe Arena in Japan this weekend. Once the theories have been proven with prototypes, we refine the design, make it production ready, do more testing, and finally we launch the best car we can. Only later will it get the ‘R’ treatment.


Other companies design, sell, see what breaks, sell options; then sell a ‘team spec’ car – Team Durango won’t take this approach.

The first Team Durango ‘R’ car will be the DEX410’R’ which is also going through final testing.
Street prices for the DEX410R will be US$350, €230 and £210
(these process all exclude local sales taxes/VAT)
Expected availability – End of April 2010 – full spec and photos available next week

its geared diffs. just take away the expensive cnc'd alli and replace it with plastic and your in. plus why would you spend all the money developing a ball diff and put it in a budget car. you would use parts you already have. you cant cheaply re-engineer the diffs. its not like making a mould for plastic parts. thats relatively easy by comparison.

Same thing I belive as well, plus I see it as a backwards step to put ball diffs in it, after all it's seen as a main point of the normal car.

wasnt a guess. was told by a dealer this morning. from the discription i was given this morning, by someone who has seen one, those pics are defo the 410r. if you look carefully all the parts that would normally be alli are plastic, except the chassis which will stay as alli.
