You guys you live near HRP HQ should have your cars first. At least by 3 days. So you are in charge of all the build updates

Any hoby shop can be a durango dealer if they use HRP distributor.

+1. Utah guys, please let us know when you get your kits so we can start our final countdowns in other areas of the country. Thanks!

Well, I guess you know more than me. It seems a system like that would be AWFULLY detrimental to the sales success of the product.

Actually the exact opposite. This happens in RC as well at the Motorcycle Industry as well. The reason is you don't get a hobbyshop just ordering one kit and their done. You get shops that are going to make a serious commitment to your product, both in product knowledge and parts support. "Buy in's" are pretty common in a number of industries. You don't want to know what I just paid Dainese to keep being a dealer for them

I hope to make some of the big and regular races this year. I haven't been there enough to hang with the big dawgs.

^^Yes I got word from Japan that they are working on what parts to make as they have had a prototype 210 for a couple weeks. Hopefully I will get word soon on what option parts we'll be producing.
