I knew what you meant, I had a xx4. Car was fast, but just way too fragile. I haven't broken anything on the Rango. And it is "stuck" to the track! Truly a work of art!

It's a tuff to chose. The Durango is best all round for sure. Would be nice to have both though. Can have a Db01r and trf201 for the price of one Dex410. The difference in performance is never going to translate in my hands anyway. A durga will do our new spec class better possibly.(17.5 turn brushless).... I might toss A coin.

HEADS ITS A DURGA.....TALES IT IS.
Its a Durango! I am going to miss all that plasic. are well Durga is next. Thanks everyone.

PS Oh man how good that feels. I think I am going to make all my desisions that way.

It does really though. Tamiya won the in Europe.

Maybe the Durango is one big engineering F/U and work around and yet it turned out to be a masterpiece. Below is a hint

" The Durango prototype car was very extreme in every way. To convert it into a production car, that was affordable, usable for the average racer and easy to maintain was very complicated. I had thousands of problems to solve. If I solved one problem, the next problem came. Horrible! But after solving all problems " all of them?

"There are some people who think the high-rotating mass is bad for acceleration. I say, the high-rotating mass is good for acceleration!

I cant help thinking thats the novelty,quality and the reliability of this buggy may bias peoples beliefs of it's abilitys even if just a little. Perhaps the true masterpiece will be the dex510. Or some new company that was inspired by it.

I'm one of the 3 that's running a durango and having issues.

I think once I get my servo saver issue fixed with aluminum parts this thing will do well.

It's very numble, jumps well and is super dialed.

The heavy driveline gives the car awesome control in the air. I can nose up or nose down about 90% with no issue.

I'm yet to finish more than 2 heats, though.
