Release Date

[carlin]

So has anone heard anymore about the actual release date yet.

I know it's about end of August but is it from 31st August or dragging over to September when we actually here anyhting.

Just I'm very eager like probably most of you guys to get one.

But i have sold my other buggy etc saved up, I havent been running for good few months now

Also on the website is says that the rear alloy toes in blocks etc are incl is this correct.
Also what do you guys reckon should be the first thing to get on spares?
I know know one has had the car, but just idea.

I was think the brass weights as i will be running LIPOS etc.

When the car is released, do we know if the spares will be available sametime so we can purchase then?

Not long now just over week left lol, counting the days down.

Hi,
As stated in a previous thread the release date is the end of August.

The Alloy rear anti-squat blocks are included in the kit (they are not rear toe-in blocks). However, you do get a set of 0 and 1 degree rear hubs in the kit.

Spares:
So far I found the car to be very durable. I broke a wishbone at the Euro's, but the impact I had should have broke a wishbone.

I'd recommend the spring sets and the brass weights as an option. I've not used the weights yet and I have been happy with the car.

Spares are on the same shipment as kits, so assuming your local model shop has put in an order for the spares, they'll get them the same time as the kits.

Durango UK will have a good stock of spares for the car to support the model shops that are selling Durango product, so the supply chain will be nice and quick.

I think spare's are avaliable when car comes out fella, when i get mine i was going to get wishbones and shock towers, everything else looks bomb proof

I don't think the shock towers look too fragile either!

Do you think the AE springs will fit? It's not that I'd mind to spend some extra quid for the original set, but as I already have them in my box...

[stegger]

I would order the towers due to it being upside down, now and again

Adam, how will the pre-orders be filled? will we get the cars direct from Durango UK, or will they come via a shop like The RacePlace?

Also, are there many other shops other then The RacePlace that will be selling parts? I'm just about the only person who buys off-road stuff from my lhs, so I don't think they'll be doing it just for me.

Hi Adam,

Same question here.

How do we all get the cars if we have Pre-Ordered them?
Do they go to our local shops or do we get direct from Durango UK.

Does anyone know what shops will be supporting this car in the UK?

[Adam Skelding]

Hi John / Carlin,
Pre-ordered kits will come direct from Team-Durango.
Shops will get their kits and spares from the same shipment.

We are busy working on the completely new website which will contain all the info for the model shops in your area.

The model shops we have selected to carry Team Durango product will be announced shortly. They may be small in number, but their track-side support and reputation are all good (Which is why we chose them). Also, with a small number of shops, it guarantees that you will easily be able to find all your spares in one location rather than having to pick and choose from loads of shops.

Hope this clears it up.

Cheers Adam, can't wait to get my grubby little mits on it

Hi Guys,

So what LIPOS are you all think of using in the car?

Been looking around to see whats best & came across these

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Intellect-7-4v...d=p3286.c0.m14

Does anyone know if these will fit the car & are they any good?
just never really used saddle LIPOS.
Im not paying £100 for LRP ones just think thier abit over priced.

Or what do you guys recommend for the car

[Marvin]

I doubt they'll fit, as they're very tall. I'd look at their 4200mAh cells instead, they're only 22mm tall, not 31mm like the 6000mAh cells.
