If both the front and rear towers are fitted to your buggy they reduce the weight by 24g, at the same time lowering the centre of gravity. Both the front and rear towers also feature additional shock mounting holes that allow you to mount your shocks further in on the tower. The rear tower also offers more camber link locations for further tuning options.

Durango DNX408 +2mm Adapters & updated fuel tank

Durango have released some more new parts for the DNX408 starting with these wheel adapters that fit either the front or rear of the car to increase the width of the buggy by 2mm on both sides. Increasing the width of the buggy increases the stability. Use these on the front to increase the stability of the front end of the buggy, or the rear to increase the stability of the rear end of the buggy. Also new is a revised fuel tank which has an integrated splash and overfill guard, preventing any fuel from spilling over onto the steering servo. The back pressure inlet has been also relocated to stop fuel from being aerated during refueling. The tank is made from a clear material, allowing great visibility of the fuel level in the tank and also features an integrated fuel filter to stop and dirt or debris getting passed into the engine.
