Exotek DEX210 aluminium suspension mounts

Exotek Racing introduce new low roll centre aluminium suspension mounts for the Team Durango DEX210 buggy. Available are a RF Hanger with shims, and two LRC mounts with standard or +0.5° toe-in setting. Starting with the RF mount, the part allows to use a 2mm lower roll centre with 0° or 1.5° kick-up or the standard roll centre with 0° or 1.5° kick-up by adding the included shims under the hanger. The easy shimming option does away with the need to disassemble the whole rear end of the vehicle only to change the roll centre or kick-up settings. The set is machined from 7075 aluminium, comes anodised and works with the DEX210 alloy chassis, DIMEC type A or the optional Exotek chassis both in MM and RM configuration.

Team Durango DEX408V2 kit

Team Durango introduce the new DEX408v2 1/8th electric buggy kit. Building on the winning heritage of the DEX408 the v2 version incorporates some subtle refinements in order to take 1/8th buggy racing to the next level. The kit is based on a new hard-anodised 3mm aluminium chassis with composite side pods and it features a redesigned rear end that is based around a new bulkhead assembly and a new geometry shock tower. The rear shock absorbers are now located behind the shock stay for an improved weight distribution and smoother and more efficient shock action. Part of the updated package are also new rear suspension arms for improved bump handling and also new ultra low rear roll-centre setting to complement the redesigned geometry. The new arms allow for two outer hinge pin positions helping to adjust rear traction characteristics to a variety of surfaces.

Team Durango DEX408v2 – Teaser

Team Durango today released a first teaser image of their upcoming DEX408v2 electric 1/8 off-road buggy. Looking at the photo the most apparent change from the current car are the relocated rear shock absorbers that now sit behind the shock tower with this also meaning a new wing mount and possibly a new rear bulkhead and shock tower assembly. The new rear end may also receive updated lower A-arms and by the looks of things the shocks themselves received a slight make-over with new shock caps. Other charges are hard to spot so we have to wait until the official press release later this week.
