Durango DNX408 option parts

Team Durango have released several new option parts for their DNX408 nitro off-road buggy. First up is a carbon fibre radio tray. Woven from high-quality carbon fibre, this hop-up part is 43% lighter than the standard kit item. It is also a lot stiffer, offering you the most precise servo operation. It allows less heat flow-through from the chassis allowing greater heat dissipation through the bottom of the chassis plate. Next up we have an aluminium throttle arm to replace the stock plastic item. This high-strength aluminium throttle arm allows you to run a strong carb-return spring on your engine. Weighing in at only 4.3 grams, it also gives you ultra-precise throttle operation. Finally, for a bit of rear wing bling, there is these gold-anodised aluminium wing buttons. Anodised in Team Durango gold, they are high strength and weigh just 1.0 gram each.

Xray RX8 carbon chassis inserts

New from Xray for their RX8 chassis are these carbon chassis inserts. Adding additional stiffness to the chassis in both the front or rear, they are made from thick CNC-machined premium-grade graphite. Unlike the brass versions released early last month, these wont add any weight so you can adjust flex without changing the chassis balance.

Revolution Design auctioning SC shell design

Former Team Durango designer Michael Vollmer, who runs a design company called Revolution Design, has come up with the idea of auctioning his latest creation, a totally new 1/10 scale Short Course Truck body shell. Companies, have the chance to buy the CAD construction files and all rights on the design. The body features a totally new “Evil Eye” front grille section that differs the body shell from everything you have seen before, sports a massively ripped “Aero-Flo” hood with optional cut-outs to conquer that nasty parachute effect often associated with Short Course Truck bodies and exhibits protruding “Phat Phenders” to make way even for the new “wide” SCT tyres. The body is designed to fit all 2WD and 4WD 1/10 scale SC Trucks on the market.
