Unlikely. Most model shops have stopped supporting due to the hassle of getting stock from revell

When I returned to the hobby after a 4 year break I was amazed how such a thriving brand had disappeared almost completely . 210 & 410's were very popular in 2012, and now are all but extinct in competition. A real shame.
The future look bleak unfortunately.

I'm going to be using my cars for next season. Only broke one rear wing mount and we run two v5s and two 210fs. Got double of all plastic parts so good for another couple of seasons. Running gear has no wear at all and we have run club and regional races this year. Cars have been superb.

Are Durango going to keep going? Most definitely, it's part of Hobbico and they aren't going anywhere.
The question you should be asking is whether Durango is dead in the UK. It is unlikely that Durango will be popular again in the UK after the shops were messed around with after Hobbico took over and transferred distribution to Revell Germany. As the shops couldn't get hold of the spares, drivers changed to other makes with better support so the shops had less reason to stock Durango, so most UK shops abandoned Durango completely.

No matter how good the current lineup of cars is, Amezcua's departure was the final straw for their international presence. It's a shame, but I don't see how they can feasibly recover to the lofty heights they were once at unless something dramatic changes in the way the brand is handled. |
