NEW DURANGO DESC10
#17
This is essentially a 1/8 scale 4wd which means it'll be a tank. It's not going to be listed at $300. We'll see what it actually sells for.
#18
All 8th scale based sct are around $400. I don't see it any cheaper than Tekno.
#19
I'm not a fan of 1/8 scale thanks to the local crowd but I do think making the new SCT 1/8 scale based is the correct way to go. I'm curious to see if they come out with a 2WD SCT in the future and if it'll be the first to follow the 1/8 design trend in terms of durability in 2WD. People may or may not agree with Durango's decision to no longer sponsor pro drivers for a while but the new products that they are releasing certainly show the company moving in the right direction. It's now up to them to keep parts availability up.
I guess we are going to just have to get used to every new Durango thread having someone out there who throws around the stupid line "It looks like an Aarma". *sigh*

Thinking 399.99 would make a nice sweet spot for this truck.

what is it with Durango......they can never just use a wheel like everyone else....You use 12mm or your buggy or SC we use 14mm or 15mm. you use 12mm sc wheels..we will make it a 1/8 style wheel.
#25
I'm definitely in on this thing. Been driving tekno for years and love it, but this is an impressive looking beast. Gonna have to give it a run when they show up. Looking forward to finding out more details about this thing!
I'm not selling the tekno just yet though...

I always end up buying new wheels and tires when I switch brands anyway. I'm not worried about hex size except I hope DE comes out with a boreggo wheel for it.
#28
I hope it has plenty of steering and a good weight balance as well.

I use 12mm hexs with 6mm axles on my SCT410 hold up great so i have a lot of wheels/tires . 17mm however is about the strongest axles you can run on a heavy 4wd SC .
The pivot ball setup on this truck i noticed is going to be interesting the steering should be smooth as butter . Only issue i had with the pivot balls on my Mugen is sometimes they will un tread from the upper arm and you got to spray dry lube on them .

I like the looks of this truck. Hopefully it's a durable truck, unlike it's predecessor. Being able to run a full stick pack is a plus. The composite plastic chassis will definitely keep weight down. I prefer a lighter, more nimble truck. But it's gotta be durable! I'll let others be the guinea pigs. I'm in the market for a new 4x4 SCT, but I'm in no hurry. My first choice is the new Tekno. We'll see if this truck can sway me and change my mind.
