RPM Front Bumper Skip Plate for Team Durango DESC410 Series

Posted by Tim Mohr @ 8:44 am. Filed in: New Products, RPM, Team Durango

The crew over at RPM RC Products have set their sights on a new vehicle to upgrade, the Team Durango DESC410 series of trucks. The first product they’ve worked up for the very popular Durango 4wd SCT is a Front Bumper/Skid Plate.

To start off with, RPM made their bumper wider than stock to protect more front end parts like the a-arms and hinge pins. Next they made the skid plate 20% thicker than stock, yet made it only reduce ground clearance by 1mm. RPM also removed the stock bumper support ring, ensuring that crash energy is not transferred to the diff housing, but to the chassis where it belongs. Finally, RPM designed the bumper to accept RPM light buckets for those of you looking for that trick scale look.

Part number for the RPM Durango front bumper is #73682, retail price is $14, and they should hit hobby shops in about 2 weeks. For more information, HERE is the direct link to the bumper on the official RPM website.

Big news for all you touring car fans today!

The folks over at Team Durango have just posted news on their official blog that they have been working on a new project, a touring car called the DETC410. This is still early in the teaser game, so no details were announced, but if it holds up to the elite status that Durango enjoys in the off-road segment their touring car should be top notch. Here is the post from their blog-

“World Class Touring Car Team for Team Durango

Team Durango super star racers are filling podium positions ever week all over the world in multiple classes. Team Durango are not only serious about racing, but also very serious about winning. For any manufacturer to win at the very highest level of RC motor sport it is essential that the very strongest and talented drivers are piloting their vehicles. At Team Durango we know what and who it takes to win, week in week out.

With this world class competition in mind, we are delighted to announce the signing of multiple world championship A final qualifier and touring car legend Elliott Harper. Elliott’s young years belie his truly enigmatic ability behind the transmitter and his rich experience at the very top of his racing class will most definitely bring his Team Durango colleagues enormous inspiration.

Elliott is very excited about joining the ranks of world class racing stars who consistently drive Team Durango vehicles to the very pinnacle of RC’s competitive scene. Elliott was kind enough to share these really inspiring words with us when asked how he felt about his new pro drivers racing contract,

“First of all, I would like to say a huge thank you to the whole of the TRF team, the last few years has been a great experience and it has been a pleasure working with you all!

As times move on, new opportunities arise and this has been the case with Team Durango. The commitment of Team Durango to their racing projects is second to none and I am confident that working with them will achieve many wins and great results. It is a pleasure to be a part of this established racing team. I am really looking forward to the coming years working with Team Durango and I have a lot of faith in the forthcoming DETC410 project. We will all work to provide the most competitive and user friendly touring car on the market! Watch this space…..”

Elliott will join Team Durango current off-road junior star Michal Orlowski, who will also be signing as a pro team driver for the hotly anticipated Team Durango Touring Car Team. As Elliott so perfectly put, watch this space for the breaking news regarding Team Durango’s first and feverishly anticipated season within the realms of world championship TC racing.

Stay tuned for more information about the Team Durango TC team very soon.”
