Durango DJoint drive shaft system

Specially designed for the DEX410 range of vehicles, the new Durango DJoint drive shaft system is a product with one valuable racing commodity in mind, efficiency. The DJoint drive shafts feature a double joint in the coupling of each shaft, meaning that each joint works at half the articulation of the conventional drive shaft, increasing the efficiency in which the drive shaft transmits the drive to the front and rear gearboxes. The resulting increase in drive shaft efficiency will in turn directly translate to more forward momentum down at the wheels. Precision machined from strong and durable material, the DJoint drive shaft system will perform under all racing conditions. The DJoint centre drive shaft set includes all the parts required to build a front and rear centre drive shaft for your DEX410 model.

Xray T4 graphite adjustable battery holder

For the T4 from Xray comes this graphite adjustable battery holder that allows for adjustment to eliminate battery play on the chassis. The battery position can be moved forward, rearward, inboard or outboard depending on the battery size used, allowing the battery to be positioned ideally for chassis balance and tuning needs. If heavy electronics are used, the battery can be positioned more outboard to achieve proper balance (or inboard for lighter electronics). The battery can be moved forward for increased stability or to the rear for additional steering.
