The Face Of DNX408

January 21, 2010

Filed under: News, Prototype testing — Team Durango @ 12:10 pm

So far for the DNX408 we have featured photos of the narrow 5mm chassis, the brakes, the leaned back steering, the spec and the price; we’ve also shown the rear suspension detail and the standard memory engine mount.

We have shown CAD based sneak peeks of the bodyshell and talked about its heat management design, we have also mentioned the chassis mounted radio tray and the car’s light weight. That’s lots of cool revolutionary stuff for a very fair price.
Well until we have more exciting photos to show you, like the body and radio tray etc, (which will take a while now) we thought we would reveal the front suspension and the ‘face’ of the DNX408.

By Durango standards the front suspension is pretty standard stuff, we can’t innovate every area of the car – so it’s solid, light weight, with a clean, no-risk design. The face of the DNX408, just like the body and wing, will be easily recognisable on the track.

The front end features all the necessary adjustments, plus hard anodised suspension holders, hard anodised bulkheads, 5mm hard anodised shock towers, outdrive and CVD boots and the 15mm bore PTFE coated shocks. Team Durango style down-stops keep the front of the chassis nice and narrow for best front ground clearance. When it comes to taking the gearbox and centre drive shaft out it should only take about six screws.

So, not too exciting today, but now there is a face to the DNX408 name.

[...] Итак мы уже видели как выглядит багги Durango DNX408 сзади, теперь давайте посмотрим на ее переднюю часть. По стандартам Durango передняя подвеска выглядит довольно обычно. Цельная и легкая, без каких-либо излишеств. Присутствуют все необходимые настройки. Установлены следующие металлические детали: держатели осей подвески, крепления дифференциала, 5 мм «бабочка» и большие алюминевые амортизаторы диаметром 15 мм. На осях и CVD имеются пыльники. Если же вам нужно добраться до переднего дифференциала, потребуется открутить всего 6 болтов. Durango [...]
