personally the 4 gear setup fit my driving style on carpet ironically.
I was able to basically drive the buggy with no brakes as I could left off throttle and the car would steer as I expected.
when I went 3 gear it took a bit getting used to. I needed to play with setup to get grip on the front and adjust my driving style.
I didn't get too much into it as by then I had the dex210f and that is one heck of a carpet car.
But, as will all things durango, I got worried too about parts support, heck, any form of support and went to different things. I do find myself looking at durango items at times on ebay till I mentally slap myself straight.
Durango will always have a special place in the heart, but I need a relationship where I am not Tina and the company is Ike when it comes to how it treats the customers.
