Durango DNX408 Spec, Price And More Details!

TeamDurango have been in contact with more details of their forthcoming DNX408 1:8 off-road buggy. Looking at the images, the quality looks second to none and it has some interesting approaches to some areas of the design…..here’s more…

Some of the standard features of the DNX408 only from Team Durango

5mm thick hard anodised chassis & one of the narrowest, if not the narrowest on the market
Hard anodised alloy bulkheads front & rear (colour shown is pre-production; production will be hard anodised)
Gearbox cases front & rear are moulded and separate from the load bearing bulkheads; this gives minimal flex, best bearing alignment, best dirt shielding & easy removal of whole diff & CVD, just like the DEX410
15mm bore alloy shocks, PTFE coated ultra smooth & threaded. Alloy caps, alloy cartridge bottom and polished shock shafts; shocks are everything, so these are quality throughout
5mm hard anodised shock towers front & rear, as standard
Forward mounted engine (20mm further forward than some leading race buggies) this gives ideal weight distribution and room for everything to be mounted as low as possible. The RX pack goes under the rear CVD, which is another Team Durango first
One piece CNC machined engine mount with gold anodised memory plate is standard in the kit and is designed for maximum engine performance & easy maintenance with a marked-up chassis for easier engine alignment
Rear of the car has maximum ground clearance for smoothest landings so you can get the power down faster
Radio tray is mounted into the chassis to get centre of gravity as low as possible, but still only 5 screws to slide it out for easy maintenance
Lowest possible centre of gravity the servos and RX battery are laid down and mounted into the chassis. Engine and tank are also mounted as low as possible
Top quality, hard anodised suspension holders as standard front & rear with full range of precision moulded inserts for geometry changes
Angled down stop screws ensure maximum solidity & consistency, without adding weight
Lightened transmission parts are used throughout as standard
In board & out board CVD joints front and rear protected with rubber CVD boots
Centre mounted fuel tank inlet for easy access in any pit lane, with dirt guard as standard
Super low body to ensure maximum flow over the adjustable rear wing, while the rear wing sits low to again minimise CofG, while oversized end plates (ROAR legal) ensure stability & protect the engine head in crashes
Team Durango have built and tested all the leading cars and their plastics fit, finish and durability is second to none and better than many
Body, air filter, clutch, once piece CNC engine mount and wheels all included in the kit
The public buying price (street price) for this revolutionary and top quality car is US$699 or 457 Euros or £417 UK pounds (this price excluded local sales taxes).
Considering the spec of the car out-of-the-box; alloy suspension holders, alloy bulkheads, 5mm shock towers & 5mm chassis all hard anodised, plus black/gold alloy CNC engine mount, lightened transmission; this is a very fair price, something Team Durango have worked very hard on.

Check out some of the details of the pre-production car belowâ€¦

The DNX408 CHASSIS is a work of art, 5mm of the finest aircraft alloy hard anodised & machined away to minimise weight, but also to give the DNX408 class-leading centre of gravity, with almost all the hardware sunk down into it. Minimal rear overhang means the smoothest of landings over a wider range of jumps.
