Default Who Makes The Durango

I've just finished my build, and it was a most enjoyable build

With feeling the quality of the plastic and Ali, I think this was done by K Factory.

It is very well engineered only like K Factory would do.

What do you guys think....

Tim

the moulds, they could of been made anywhere, but the designs and the specs are Durango.

Just like, Tamiya don't actually physically make the TRF cars, they are 'machined' outside.

I appreciate that they will be sourced outside and designed by Durango, all I was suggesting is with the great engineering and quality I would say most of it would have been built in the K Factory.

Yeah, maybe in the same place that K-Factory have their stuff moulded, but that doesn't mean anything though.

As for the moulding themselves, it would be a massive investment in tooling.

Team Durango = Gerd, right?
but Team Durango UK is based at DRadiocontrol which is part of RCDisco, right?

Reminds me of some David Blaine "put the pieces of the puzzle together" thing I saw once lol

I heard from a guy who knows a lot of inside details about a lot of cars that it was made mostly in the Hong Nor/Ofna/Hobao factory. They are in Taiwan after all.
