The Durango cars. They seemed to br cropping up winning big events and were always said to be great. Jimmy had some shots too and then nothing...

I think they won the recent Petit RC indoor race in France, they seem to be going strong but dont have the same drivers they had before so we dont get to hear about them so much. From what I know its all german and austrian drivers, dont think they are interested in selling the car so dont seem to want to promote it outside of those few drivers.

exactly, it was never a car built to be sold, it was only ever built to be raced by the best drivers and win.

the best alternative that uses the same design ideas (narrow chassis) is the slim4, I have driven the car and it is ace!

Yes the slim 4 is nice to drive:) But believe me it aint a patch on my DURANGO! Everyone that uses my car says that if they owned it they would be much quicker!
just my opinion
if anyone would like pics of any part or to drive my 2005 please ring me on 07916173455:D

Thats right i think it may of been the old car from early in the year, moved on a lot since then ;) if you are racing over the winter let me know, you can guess i would like a good look at the Durango :thumleft:

I had quite a few pics of Marc R's car from last Euros. I firmly believe it is probably the best 4wd that has and ever will be built. Some of the stuff that goes into it is just amazing.
