Team Durango DEX410v3 4wd buggy

Team Durango have announced the imminent arrival of the DEX410v3. This new model is an evolution of the previous DEX410 model and features parts that have been tested and proven by their Team Drivers over recent months. Some of the new features include Big bore shocks which are more consistent on rough tracks due to the larger volume of oil. A new ‘Kuhler’ body with increased space inside the body and improved air flow to the electronics as well as new RR suspension holder that allows the rear squat to be altered using composite inserts. New ‘Fine Tune’ shock towers with finer adjustment for the upper mounting positions, and more rear camber link positions on the rear tower.
