Team Durango DEX8T 1/8th E-Truggy kit

The new Team Durango DEX8T 1/8th scale E-Truggy kit makes use of the design features introduced with the recently announced DEX8 and DNX8, such as a patent pending sliding gear mesh centre bulkhead and all-new suspension components including a pivot ball front suspension. The truck is based on a long wheelbase 3mm 7075 aluminium chassis with hard-anodised finish and it used quick-release front and rear gearboxes to speed-up maintenance and setup work. The front and rear shock towers are cut from high-quality aluminium as are the 16mm big bore shock absorbers with threaded bodies and colour-coded springs. The suspension hanger are also aluminium parts and they feature composite inserts to allow for easy toe and kick-up changes. Like the other new Team Durango 1/8th vehicles the DEX8T comes partly assembled for reduced build time and to minimise the opportunity for errors. Components such as the shocks, diffs, steering knuckles, hubs and links come factory build which is a bit of a novelty. Included with the kit comes a pre-cut truggy bodyshell and a strong yet flexible nylon rear wing with gurney flaps that allows for aerodynamic tweaks in seconds.
