Tough MagnaFlex™ Chassis
Off-roading is a breeze for the injection-molded MagnaFlex chassis. It’s ultra-tough to absorb impacts and everyday wear and tear.

Complete Ball Bearings
A complete set of ball bearings provides smooth, reliable operation and extended life.

Precision Metal Idler Gear
A metal idler gear helps make the EXT2’s durable, long-lasting tranny off-road ready.

The performance enhancements begin with the included Photon Speed 2™ motor, which delivers quick acceleration and awesome top-end speed. The Sprint™ Electronic Speed Control offers forward, brake and reverse, while the battery hold-down accommodates 6-7 cell NiCds/NiMHs and 2-cell LiPos. Please note that a low-voltage cutoff (LVC) is required to use LiPos.

A Stress-Tech™ One-Year Guarantee gives free parts replacement in the first year you own your EXT2, so drivers can tackle the terrain worry-free. See manual for details.

Killer looks! The Evader EXT2 has four eye-catching body styles to choose from – all are pre-painted and trimmed, with race-legal clear windows.

Looks ok for a "starter" model, how much will it be when hits our shores????

[rcsammy]

probably £110-140, thats if it does even come over here, duratrax stuff doesnt seem to normally

[louder]

Pretty sweet. Duratrax mini's always looks hot. The one year warranty is pretty sweet for a first time RC

Do they have a UK distributor yet?

[R46]

I feel it be CML dealing with them, That does look good

[carty]

cml had a go importing them a couple of years ago and seem to have ditched them in favour of step up recently (probably coz no one bought the ext) just as Duratrax launch there great looking Desert Truck, as well as this one

Looks pretty good and closer to hpi firestorm and traxxas rustler, rather than ansmann macnum, which is a very good thing. Are those shocks aluminium or are they a funny plastic because aluminium ones would be rather nice on starter car.

[Garry]

They are alloy.

Duratrax had a small uk distributor right near where I live at the docks a few years back, not sure if they still operate but they were called "Centre Point", they also dealt with XTM aswell.

My old LHS (which has shut down) had more Duratrax nitro's in stock than any other brand.

The evader ext is a nice truck, good looking starter st!

I used to run the alloy shocks of the original one on my Rustler nice shocks for the money
