Default Which shops stock Durango parts

Just curious as to which shops stock the basic spares(in the UK), as I was going to buy direct but the P+P charges seems a bit steep
Prefer online shopping.
Just as i get a Durango the best parts shop close's (Microtech)

I knew you'd find out , it's a used version of the early model. I don't like buying used but it appears to be OK. Rebuilding the diff's now. i would say it's second hand but i think it's more like third hand, bought it off a guy on oople. installing the Speed passion gt pro is going to be a headache there is no room on this chassis.

Oh dear, not quite as you expected then.

Will it be making an appearance tomorrow?

Wish I still had my two Tekin RS Pros, I think that's what you'll need in there...

Have you got the micro spektrum etc?

I'll be trackside tomorrow, but not racing.

It's not as bad as it first seems to get the GTPRO in there, just takes a bit of thought, have a look in the Electrics install pics thread, a couple of GTPRO pics near the end of that.

With Speed Passion ESC and motor should be able to get a nice tidy fit.

What are you running in it, 6.5?

I've got 3 choices a speed passion 5.5 a rather old Novak 6.5 light and a new Team Orion 7.5, I prefer the Speed passion motor's because of the connector's so i'll probably put that in

Sell both the 6.5, 7.5 and get another v3

You can then change the motor with ease pending conditions. I've got a 6.5 in my SX, but will be using my 7.5 or even 8.5 come winter.

8.5 is currently in the SV.

All of them are V3 SPs
