After building the new DEX8T 1/8th scale Truggy, I was really amazed at the over all build experience with the pre-assembled components. The new DESC10 is of the same mold, but in 1/10th scale ShortCourse fashion. the new Team Durango line of KIT's cut down the building time by at least 50% and the quality of parts and assembly are top quality.
With an all new design, the DESC10 is part of the new evolution of 4WD SCT's incorporating 1/8th scale components to drive up the durability scale. With an all new Motor mount design, capable of 550 or 1/8th scale motor, highly tunable with the included tuning blocks, ability to change a diff in right over a minute (less than a minute on the buggy!) and 17mm wheel hubs.
