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.
