Nah, It is a nice car (the serpent) but I have already narrowed it down to those 2. The Durango is the front runner(love the layout of the electronics) but the Mugen part support is just much better locally.
We will see. I will be ordering something in a week or 2.

Mugen has better parts support, but I like the way the electronics are laid out in the durango and the ease of removing electronics for cleaning in the durango. Pro's and Con's to both. I will be running a D8 when I can afford (and get my hands on) some electronics.. purely because I have one laying around that nobody wants to buy

The Durango is pretty nice though. Build quality is there (unlike some of their 10th scale stuff) but in my research, it seems you have to make a lot more modifications out of the box to get it to handle right. Not necessarily buying upgrades but the roll center mod and stuff like that. I do see more DEX408's locally though, so at least you have some help there with setups and the like (compared to Serpent anyway) The Mugen is supposed to be amazing out of the box, but I agree, not sold on the layout in comparison.

Why don't you hold onto it for other 4wd races, as there WILL be more in the area this year...
What are you gonna make? A couple hundred bucks on it, just to spend on something else you're going to sell in a few months time? Richard, you're like the master of musical chairs for RC...

Richard, you're like the master of musical chairs for RC...I only want 2 cars on the shelf. If I am only going to have 2 cars, I might as well have 2 cars I can race whenever I feel like it and not just at large events.
