Glad I picked up a Duratrax DE10 for my DESC210R since Randy hinted this was on the horizon. Wonder what new features it will have programming wise?

It's got some new goodies that I'm really excited about. It is VERY smooth, great braking. I'll let you guys know more when I can! It will be an awesome mild-mod, super stock and stock controller.

Will the production models have white cases? Can you tell us that? I actually hope not, or at least an option for the traditional black case.

As smooth as the LRP flow or RS10?

I LOVE the white case!

Yes on smoothness, it has a great feel. Yes on the white cases. Black will be available but I love the white, it stands out and pops!

I agree it does stand out. Some cars I like to black everything out on though. Glad to hear the black will be an option though.

I love the white, it'll go perfectly with my japanese mylaps ;-)



Hmm and by the looks of the pic it has a place for the hotwire to plug into on the esc instead of having to unplug your rx wire......

There are others they are working on. They wouldn't just update the RS.
