Thumbs up I just purchased a Durango 210

Well, after visiting the club last Friday and probing some old memories of racing over 20 years ago, I've gone and done it.

After reading through reviews and opinions on here, I have purchased a Durango 210 RTR version, I also purchased some Core Code sticks as I can't be doing with a steering wheel transmitter! Oh, I just need to purchase the other items now, such as battery, charger, tyres etc!

So, look out for the out of control Durango getting in your way sometime soon

Nice one re the new purchase, the club will have tyres you can buy, and if tommy let's you jump onto his charger I will lend you a set of cells for the night.

A great value car to start with, first thing to do is change the tyres, the kit ones will be no use for anywhere you're likely to race, the club has yellow mini pins and stagger ribs that will be fine for indoors.
I'm sure between us we can sort enough kit to get you racing this week, and I may have some second hand cells for sale if your interested.

No problem, just make sure you either get a spare set of wheels or get the kit tyres removed as the kit tyres will be a waste of time at our track. The rest of the car will be fine, in fact whilst we are using the small hall you will have very little disadvantage over the faster cars.

Thank you. The only disadvantage being the driver

Where is the best place to get bits for this car, such as wheels and the mid mounted motor conversion?

Inside line are very good
If they haven't got stock you can also try MB models and JE Models as they tend to carry a lot of Durango spares, and don't forget to ask at the club to see if there's any second hand items.

Don't worry about the mid motor set up yet, it's very little disadvantage in the small hall and Grass track.
