Hello Ooplers

Can I bring to your attention with huge excitement our new company and product. Based and manufactured in the U.K

DARC Developments. 410 D.A.R.C ( dirt , all-terrain , race , chassis)

It is our alternative chassis for the awesome Durango 410 and are hoping to gauge some interest

Features

Centrally mounted Motor and Radio equipment
Forward and rear mounted saddles
Longer chassis
Ultra slim design
Increased usable radio gear space
Adjustable flex points
TD's weight kit can still be used

Kit contents

6061 t6 aluminium chassis ( anodised Black and longer than the 410)
Precision cnc side mounting blocks ( 7075 aluminium)
Cnc clutch adapter
Carbon sides ( pure carbon twill , no glass )
Carbon battery straps
Brass battery posts
Body shell
All hardware needed to convert

The chassis driving characteristics
has a very locked in rear end
Very good corner entry speed
Amazingly confident in the air
Huge amounts of forward drive
Ton of steering available

Thanks for viewing and I look forward to answering any questions and reading any debates

Is it around 15-16mm longer using 2 front driveshafts? (maybe rear, 2 of the longer ones)

Sounds cool ... depending on price. What's a "CNC clutch adapter"

Looks really cool!

Just a question... would it be possible to add a (DESC410) Center diff into the car (as standard, or with slight mods)? It is one of those things that I'd love to see being tested back to back on a 4WD, and I can imagine with a longer wheelbase there is room to play with such things (Or by using a shorty instead of a saddle pack).

Have a look at the rear point of the centre slipper/clutch. Normally the rear long outdrive is connected direct, looks like a CNC adapater is there to lengthan the location the output connects to. This might be what they mean.

Great idea I think, puts the weight across the whole chassis rather than being a tad nose heavy. How much will it cost though as I think that will be the decider as to whether people will go for it

Hi Rc junky
The conversion uses one single donor 410
And uses an extension adapter ( Jo90 hit the nail on the head )
Will use either 70mm or 68mm rear propshaft (V3)
Thanks for your comment

Hope this helps

Hi
This is certainly something we will take a look at
Thanks for the heads up
A shorty Lipo will not fit in this car just to clarify
Thanks



We are hoping to release this conversion for around the £150 price
Thanks

Hopefully another photo


And another
Please ignore the condition of the tatty well used prototype in the background

Hi Bman
The bodyshell that is pictured in above photo will be in the kit
No other body's as yet fit as conversion is longer, wider at rear and slimmer at front

Car can be viewed at Maritime Raceway this evening

Thanks

Saw the car last night. The machining and everything looks spot on. I really like this conversion. Soon as I have the money spare I think I will be getting one to try out for sure.

Looks like some really good quality components have been used and the design finish is really good.

Definately worth taking a look at if your near Maritime
