Finally , its launched : [URL=http://www.team-durango.com/race-cars/dnx8/[/URL]
Part# TD102040. As more information becomes available, i'll update the first 2 posts of this thread. Please PM me if you find more info you'd like to put on here. Cheers Link to manual. Link to setup sheet. Blog from Travis 3/27/2015 http://www.team-durango.com/blog/tag/travis-amezcua/ Build info : [url=http://www.tdbuild.info[/url] Get Support: [url=http://www.tdsupport.info[/url] FEATURES *Chassis: Hard anodized 7075 T6 aluminum, 0.12" (3mm) thick *Drive: Four wheel *Shocks: 16mm Big Bore aluminum body with vented caps, and a choice of constant volume and emulsion bodies *Shock Towers: 0.20" (5mm) thick milled aluminum *Suspension: Fully adjustable pivot ball with square hinge pin inserts for more options for front end mods, galvanized components for protection against oxygenation *Differentials: Ultra lightweight bevel gear type with composite cross shafts for increased acceleration and durability *Fuel Tank: --oz (--cc) *Clutch Bell: 13T steel *Steering: with adjustable Ackermann, Ackermann refers to the effect of the the inner front wheel rotating faster than the outer front wheel during turns *Rear Body Mount: Floating type for increased body life *Battery Box: Fully enclosed for maximum protection *Body: Pretrimmed polycarbonate with cab-forward design *Caster: Adjustable, caster/toe-in refers to the angle of the front suspension when viewed from the side of the car in relation to the chassis, Active Caster Inserts for quick changes *Camber: Adjustable, camber refers to the angle of the tops of the tires from vertical when viewed from front or behind vehicle Vehicle; *Length: 20.9" (522mm) *Width: 12.1" (307mm) *Height: 7.3" (186mm) *Wheelbase: 12.7-12.9" (322 - 328mm) *Racing Weight: 7lbs 8oz (3.4kg)       Essentials a) IMPORTANT: Use wash like MUGE0161 "Mugen FRONT TRACK WIDTH ADJUSTMENT SPACER) on lower Pivot balls to prevent premature failure. Dimensions of washer: 6mm inner and 14mm outer so any equivalent brand will work. Recommendations a) Use Alum Servo Arm TD340122 25T TD340123 24T TD340124 23T or Hot Bodies 67168 24T, 67169 25T or 67167 23T b) The tank lid seal can be adjusted with the screw in the centre. The tighter the screw the LESS the tank will seal. Screw-off 1 or 2 turns just make it perfect.  c) For the front bumper not touch the inserts, also have removed the boss inside the front bumper The front bumper on the buggy has two standoffs on it, each standoff is positioned right over the insert on either side, if you nose dive to hard or hit the front awkward the standoffs can push your hinge pin through the back insert. The fix is to dremel off the standoffs.  d) Also, glue the nut in the servo-saver e) Shock Build options For Emulsion build see this post: [url=http://www.rctech.net/forum/14014032-post310.html[/url] Bladders are TD330589 After Market Upgrade RPM Wing Mount [url=http://www.rpmrcproducts.com/shop/chassis-components/chassis-accessories/arrma-durango-wing-mounts/[/url]

Finishing up on my DNX8 here shortly.
Ran into a couple weird things I'm not comfortable with.
The big one is this little arm/connector thing that goes from the top gear of the servo, through the same screw as the servo arm, and to the rear right side screw on the ctr diff.
Did any of guys actually do that?
I'm really thinking I don't want to and I wonder what other way is there to strengthen up that servo mounting.

You can run it without the brace if you want to as the tray is pretty stiff but I recommend using it as it will help with the consistency. The ball will pivot with the servo arm, I never had a problem with it. Just put a dab of blue loctite on the screw so it doesn't come out and make sure it's not too tight so it won't bind. I love my S350 EVO II but I kinda am a fan of my old DNX8's radio tray. Just seems simpler and more direct.

There's some things I like and don't like about the radio tray set up on this. One thing I don't care for is the size of the rx box. I have 3 other projects going on right now too: 1st gen XB8, OFNA 9.5 Pro, and RC8.2e that I'm converting to nitro. All3 of those have huge rx boxes and I love it. I like having more space than not enough.

So with Loctite on the screw, does it then get tightened at all? So that the little ball in the connector is doing the turning inside the plastic part?

the radio box screws (assuming they are the same on the dex8 and desc10 which I have) I use AE's black hex driver on from what I recall, I forget the size but its definitely not a 1.5mm screw head. They fit very snug in the screw, no stripping.
Personally I would have rather had something that had a simple 1 screw latch flipup box.

Here are a solid solution with the possibility of more precise setting.

Hello
I just deleted some defects dnx8 .
I chose to mount the triangles / rocket / carding 93.5mm front RC8B3 ( more could pull a steering ball) .
The diff dnx8 games take too quickly at the nuts , so I replaced the boards with diff tki3 / 4 with the brake discs since dnx8 brake discs are badly calibrated.
All amounts without any change you just 3 shims for diff cells in forward / back .
Now my DNX8 is perfect and very reliable.
Bonjour
J’ai juste supprimé quelque défauts du dnx8 .
J’ai choisi de monter les triangles/fusée/cardant 93.5mm avant du RC8B3 (plus de risque d’arracher une boule de direction).
Les diff du dnx8 prennent trop de jeux rapidement au niveau des noix, alors je les ais remplacé avec des diff de tki3/4 avec les disques de frein puisque les disques de frein du dnx8 sont très mal calibré.
Tout se monte sans aucune modification il faut juste 3 rondelles de calage pour les diff dans les cellules avant/arrière .
Maintenant mon DNX8 est parfait et très fiable.
