Durango DESC410R full sized optional rear bumper
Listening to demand from some DESC410R racers for a full-sized optional rear bumper, Durango have put this piece into production. When designing the DESC410R they decided to go with a minimal rear bumper to save weight and keep with the racing ethos that Team Durango are famous for. With this optional rear bumper they’ve tried to keep the weight penalty to a minimum whilst providing the protection & looks that some users are demanding. The lower rear rail on the bumper has mounting points for 3rd party mud flaps if you choose to fit some, and this rail is removable to reduce weight if you just want the single rail out back. The bumper weighs 41g or 49g for the full-fat bumper with lower rail attached.

Pro-Line Slash Performance steering & adjustable battery strap
This is Pro-Line’s Performance Steering Kit for the 2WD Slash. The stock servo-saver is not ideal for racing or bashing conditions because it allows the front wheels to drift from side-to-side too much losing precision. Pro-Line’s steering kit gives control back because you can adjust the exact amount of tension on the servo-saver. The steering kit also eliminates the stock white plastic steering assembly and replaces it with durable black nylon for that race look that you desire. Ball bearings are also a requirement when you desire smooth and precise steering response and these are included along with the necessary hardware to bolt the steering and skid plate to the chassis, which makes the front end stiffer and stronger. Also for the 2WD Slash and Slash 4X4 is a new Adjustable Battery Strap which is a direct replacement for the stock version. Its adjustable and can be tightened down to ensure your battery stays secure and features an aluminum pivot block, which allows the battery strap to rotate completely out of the way so you can easily remove your battery. There is also a quick release for the front of the battery strap so you can change batteries faster than ever.
