Team Durango DEX408v2 – Teaser

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.

Centro C4.2 alloy bulkhead & 2.5° suspension mount

Centro C4.2 alloy bulkhead & 2.5° suspension mount

Team Associated introduce new option parts for the Centro C4.2 conversion kit in the form of a rear aluminium bulkhead and a 2.5° rear hinge pin brace. Starting with the bulkhead, the part is CNC-machined from aluminium, it sports the stock geometry but a less bulky design compared to the kit’s plastic part for a sleeker overall appearance. At the same time rigidity is increased thanks to the stronger material which is ideal when racing modified classes. The second new part is the 2.5° rear hinge pink block that again is machined from high-quality aluminium and it comes black anodised. The suspension mount features 0.5° less toe compared to the kit 3° block for added straight line speed and a more agile handling on high bite tracks. Included with the block come suitable delrin hinge pin inserts.
