Default Who owns Team Durango?
Are Durango an independant company or owned by one of the big RC companies?

There is an HPI connection as far as they use the same manufacturer for their products, but not sure if it goes as far as ownership?

I don't understand why we aren't celebrating Durango as a British success story?

Maybe because there are a number of nations involved at the heart of it!

Gerd Strenge and Michael Vollmer being the two originals to my knowledge?
