Truggys don’t have to be ugly. In fact, they can be racy and beautiful. Team Durango wanted to design the best performing, best looking Truggy available. From any angle the DNX408T looks ready to win. It looks so good, it even looks fast when it’s standing still. With genuine Team Durango styling, the DNX408T brings a new aesthetic to Truggy racing. Not only does it look amazing, the sleek Durango-ised flow of the bodyshell gives great high-speed stability and low-speed agility. How can a Truggy look this good? It’s easy when it’s a Team Durango DNX408T.

Features:
Suspension Hangers
Heavy-duty machined alloy suspension hangers, front and rear, keep the DNX408T going, even on the roughest tracks and off the biggest jumps. The DNX408T loves being pushed, so push it hard and you’ll be rewarded with serious amounts of success.

Bulkheads
When so much power is going through the transmission, it is important to ensure that the gearboxes are held securely in position. This has been achieved by having machined alloy bulkheads at the front and rear of the DNX408T.

Brake Bulkheads
For precise braking, under the toughest of conditions and the longest of finals, the machined alloy brake bulkheads on the DNX408T are perfect. Consistent and reliable braking is a must for any serious Truggy racer.

Shock Towers
Specially designed with ideal geometry options, the machined alloy shock towers perfectly support the 15mm big bore shocks. They look awesome too!

Spiral Machine-Cut Gears
A solid and reliable drivetrain is a must for any serious Pro level Truggy racer. The all-new, spiral design, machine-cut gears for the DNX408T, have been extensively tested for performance and reliability. Smooth and consistent, they give the DNX408T an internal beauty that compliments the amazing looks of the Truggy

Multi-Position Suspension Tuning
As with all Team Durango race cars, our designers give you tuning and configuration options like the Pros use. Multiple positions for top- and bottom-shock location and camber links means you can fine-tune your DNX408T to any track

Receiver Box
The radio box has plenty of space for your chosen receiver, which means you can make your wiring as tidy as possible. The aerial is mounted to the part of the receiver box so that even when the receiver box lid is removed, the aerial stays in position. The DNX408T receiver box has a cool hinged door for inserting and removing the receiver batteries. This means that the batteries and receiver compartment are fully independent.

Fuel Tank
The pressure pipe is located on the lid, resulting in consistent pressure inside the 150cc tank. Also, the neck of the fuel-filler has been profiled to work with the Team Durango fuel gun (#TD390082) and other aftermarket fuel guns. Finally, the DNX408T fuel tank is made from a high-transparency material to make it easy to see exactly how much fuel is inside your tank.

Personal Transponder Holder and Throttle Mount
The combined personal transponder (PT) and throttle mount is the same part as seen on the DNX408v2 buggy. The PT holder allows easier access to the brake-bias linkage, making alterations fast and uncomplicated. The PT holder remains fixed to the removable radio tray, so the whole assembly can be separated from the main chassis for ease of maintenance.

15mm Big Bore Shocks
Big bore and beautiful. Team Durango’s 15mm big bore shocks keeps your DNX408T planted, and with our optional shock spring sets, you can be sure to get the right set-up for any track and condition.

Dirt Control
Moulded rubber boots and splash-guards help you finish your race, even on the dirtiest tracks. Low-maintenance and reduced wear of CVDs and shock shafts are another benefit of being booted and booted.

Angled Steering
The steering bell-cranks follow the line of the suspension kick-up, preventing unwanted bump-steer.

Piston Action Brakes
The brake piston pushes exactly on the middle of the brake pad, and the all-machined bulkheads and brake-pad mounts result in zero flex and maximum feel.

Easy Access Differentials
Diff tuning is a big part of 1/8 nitro off-road racing, so like our DNX408v2 nitro buggy and DEX408 electric buggy, we made diff access super simple on the DNX408T. Not only are you more likely to get your diffs optimised on even the tightest of race schedules, there is no risk of upsetting your suspension set-up when removing and replacing your diffs.

Weight Forward
With a low COG (Centre of Gravity) and weight-forward design, the DNX408T turns precisely and quickly. It laps-up bumps and jumps and makes racing at the highest level look easy.
