The DEX408 has the lowest bodyshell around – this has many benefits, like low centre of gravity, minimal frontal area to punch through the air (perhaps giving more run time or speed?) more air flow over the rear wing etc (so that too can be lower), but it also helps with heat management. The engine head in a DNX408 gets the most direct clean airflow of any car, plus the body is designed to direct as much air as possible over the bodyshell at the engine head, rather than through the body. The central engine and low bodyshell mean that all shock bodies are also in clean airflow. The DNX408s body is long and slim at the rear which encloses the exhaust header and insulates the left rear shock, while it is trimmed to help direct/suck hot air away from either rear shock.
Rear wing – it is as close to the rear wheels as possible, thanks to the forward shock position, this drives the down-force directly to the rear wheels. Too many wings on 1/8 buggies are way out back which means more wheelies than down-force.

[...] Durango утверждают что их новый корпус для багги DNX408 будет самым низким среди других корпусов для багги 8-го масштаба. В этом есть множество преимуществ. Во-первых более низкий центр тяжести. Во-вторых, минимальное лобовое сопротивление. В-третьих, больший поток воздуха будет проходить через заднее антикрыло. Также, достигается лучшее распределение тепла, так как головка двигателя почти полностью выступает наружу, а сам корпус спроектирован таким образом, чтобы концентрировать воздушный поток непосредственно возле головки охлаждения. Центральное расположение двигателя и низкий корпус означают, что все корпуса амортизаторов также получают достаточное охлаждение. Благодаря тому что задние амортизаторы расположены на внутренней стороне задней «бабочки», антикрыло модели распологается очень близко к задней оси, направляя всю свою прижимную силу непосредственно на задние колеса. Мы уже видели множество других крыльев бля багги которые установлены слшком далеко позади модели, что приводит скорее не к прижимной силе, а к тому, что модель может приподнять свои передние колеса.

THE BODY LOOKS GREAT.BUT HOW IS GOING TO BE FITTED INSIDE THERE THE AIR FILTER AND IS THERE ENOUGH SPACE FOR THE EXHAUST NOVAROSSI 9901 SUPER STRONG THAT HAS BEEING USED A LOT.THE BODY MUST NOT TOUCH THE EXHAUST IT WILL MELT AND DIFORMED AND THIS IS NOT GOOD.OVERALL IT IS THE BEST BODY AROUND THE MORE AIRFLOW TO THE ENGINE THE MORE LEAN ENGINE SETTING AND SO MORE RUNTIME.THIS MEANS WITH THE 6mm CARB RESTRICTOR ON THE TORO NERO AND SHARK 9 A RUNTIME OF 11 MINUTES YES YES YES YES 11 MINUTES AND MAYBE MORE WITH A LIGHTWEIGHT CLUTCH LIKE THE NEW FIORONI(GOLD).I AM WAITING MY DNX408 TO START RACING.BUT IT IS TOO PRETTY TO RACE IT……
