Duratrax DXR8-E Unboxing With Special Guest Mandi!

Posted by Brian @ 2:06 am. Filed in: Duratrax, Featured Posts, Unboxing

So I was just getting ready to take some pictures and unbox the new DuraTrax DXR8-E Buggy when a good friend of ours, Mandi stopped by the office. You may know her as she helps us out from time to time at events and stuff like that. It was perfect timing. I asked if she would mind ‘helping out’, but I’m not sure she knew I was just going to leave her out there. Sorry Mandi! Thanks for playing along though. As always.. everyone is always happy when you stop in the office to say hi!

Here are some pictures, and make sure to click the big video picture, or ‘read more’ to check out the full video and more pics!

In a major change from

Duratrax DXR8-E 1/8 Scale Buggy gallery

their normal product releases, DuraTrax has just announced they are jumping into the 1/8th scale market with the DXR8-E Buggy!

A few days ago, when we saw the teaser video from Duratrax, we were all pretty sure we knew a 1/8th scale buggy was on the way, but a race roller? I don’t think anyone would of guessed it wasn’t going to be RTR! The press release has the catch phrase ‘In it to Win!’ with the following details:

Designed for intermediate to expert off-road drivers.
Designed from the ground up as electric. Not a converted nitro..
Factory assembled 4WD rolling chassis
Duratrax Posse C3 racing tires included
Clear body and rear wing also included.

You will need to add a radio and brushless system. They also state that it’s shipping January 2012! Price should be under $400 when it hits the streets.

DuraTrax Brushless Evader Unboxing Pictures

Posted by Brian @ 1:24 am. Filed in: Duratrax, Unboxing

So yesterday we talked about the official press release and our Exclusive pictures of the new DuraTrax Evader Brushless. Less than 24 hours later, we have one in the office!

Of course that means it’s time for the unboxing photos. I have to admit this is one of DuraTrax’s better boxes. It has the punch out windows, that are actually taunting you to punch them out with little phrases on them like “Haven’t you torn this off yet?” and “Remove This Now!”

Ounce punched, you can get a pretty good view of the Evader inside. Opening the box, another cool feature is that the radio transmitter handle sort of works as an actual handle to carry it out of the store with! Nice work DuraTrax! Glad to see your packaging/marketing has bumped things up. Even our good friend Scott C. gets some face time!

DuraTrax Brushless Evader

Posted by Brian @ 11:49 am. Filed in: Duratrax, New Products

Way back in October we posted some Exclusive pictures of the new DuraTrax Evader Brushless. Well, we just received the official press release which means it’s probably coming to a hobby shop near you soon!

The 1/10th scale Evader Brushless comes with a 2.4GHz transmitter made by Futaba! You know it’s a quality radio, even if it’s a pack in! It has a waterproof steering servo, and a Futaba FHSS receiver so you can use it with the 2PL, 3PL, or 4PL if you already have one of those! The brushless motor is a 3930kv motor with a waterproof 100A ESC! finally it has a waterproof radio box and a factory installed wheelie bar. And trust me, you are going to need that bar, it’s not just for looks!

So a waterproof brushless Evader that will wheelie all day long for under $300! Sign us up!

Duratrax Deluxe XL Field Bag

Posted by Robin @ 8:25 pm. Filed in: Duratrax

If you’ve got a ton of stuff to haul to your bashes, Duratrax have a new bag that should hold the whole lot comfortably. The Deluxe XL Field Bag is a generous 27″ long and 14″ wide, meaning it’s big enough for the biggest of short course trucks and 1/8 buggies, and theres plenty of room for spares and your radio in the external pockets too.
