Default Durango parts availabilty

Why is it that getting hold of Durango parts seems to be such a hassle?
They have had on the site for ages, different coloured thumb screws and other new products and yet these have not been available.

There are other things like the vented slipper plates and Dimec20 chassis that never seem to be in stock any where.

is this because they do things in batches and then sit back and count the cash they've made off that batch and wait until everything is gone before running off another batch?

its really annoying

I've no idea why it is, but it's one of the reasons I swapped to the XB4, I love my 410, but have got fed up of simple things like driveshaft pins been out of stock

I did the same thing, I never got the 15 mm alloy hex drives for my desc210 Schumacher sv2 build is good, phone the factory for parts and advice. drives well and you get all the alloy parts that are extra on most other makes

I never have any problems getting parts for my Durango`s.
Sometimes I have to buy from Amain, sometimes from Je spares and also Omnimodels.

They are ridiculous, no doubt that they will say it's the restructuring within the company AGAIN!

They are well aware of what is fast moving and what isn't. It's extremely poor of a company that size of all the manufacturers TD has to be the worst to date.

They can't blame the large product range as many of the parts are common.

I'll be looking a running Yokomo 2wd once the 210 is gone and probably a 4wd too once I get the money together. Until then I'm stuck with them.

Always go to mb models first for parts.
If they dont have stock, then i look in other places.
Insideline, number 5 rc, je models and the TD website.

I really wouldn't bother, wait for the aluminium version with side pods to come out.
