You buy the first of anything you have to expect that there might be a few teething problems and possible updates. That's just how life goes. You don't have to buy the first of anything, you could have waited for the updated version. But as Doughty rightly points out and if I was in your shoes I would also want it to be cheaper. :D

Just out of interest how much do people think the new 2mm parts will cost? They surely can't be too much. Is the 2mm stuff the only thing we've got a problem with? If it is then I'm not so worried. I'd have quite liked the R to have a plastic chassis or cheaper shocks to make it more obviously the R.

This is the amusing nature of the Internet. Someone posts a product announcement, stating availability end of somewhen in the future and us impatient people immediately start asking "when will it be available"...
Now this future available product sports some nice features which have not even been announced as a separate available product and we start discussing its price...

The only thing one can tell for sure is that when the driveshafts will be made available they will have a prize.

It's about time that this long icy winter is over and our tracks emerge from the snow. :)

Based on current pricing for the std kit, a full 2.0 conversion set would retail at £90.46. This could drop to 57.76 if you got a 2mm drill bit instead of new wheel axles and F/R primary drive shafts.

Exactly, thats nearly half the cost of this 'base' car!!!!

There is nothing exclusive about the Durango. There were more of them at York than B44's last time I raced...

Right gaz, you buy a brand new top spec RM250 for £6k or whatever, a few people have had issues with gear pedal coming loose and the clutch sticking a bit, it happened to you a couple of times but you just tightned the pedal and wd-40'd the cable. A few months later the bring out a budget version for £3k with fixes for the above issues included.
Would you be pissed?

The exclusive club will be populated by anything NOT from Durango :woot:

It is like working on Macs since mid 80s, feeling very different for a long time and now waking up as part of a consumer crowd.

Who cares? If it was this what it is all about you'd be lost anyway. If it is about who drives the fastest laps consistently in fair races it doesn't matter how exclusive your gear might be...

Im shit anyway, so it doesnt matter really, I just feel like I have had my pants pulled down-not by a woman. Lol

Really?
 

Wow.

People can own an amazing Team Durango DEX410, and whine like wussies about upgrades on a damn near budget car? Really?
Suck it up, the world owes you nothing.

I got a great deal! And you did, too!

lol right
A. its not a motorbike
B. it didnt cost £6k

you knocked the nail right on the head there:thumbsup:

The Dex stirred up a storm. So many, including myself waited for its development in various guises over time. The release of the car saw instant success in various high profile races, with club members also very happy with their expensive purchases.

I, like many looked on, wishing to have one for myself. I race whenever I can but not anywhere near as often as i like:( This cheaper version offers many the chance to drive a brilliant car where they would otherwise not have.:thumbsup:
For these pennies, Durago have made a bold market winning move. Good luck to them.

I for one will be joining them as soon as I can.

It doesn't matter what it is or how much it cost, its the principle of the matter that is the same.

well put it this way, if they do give the upgrades at a discount price great, if not so be it, i wont lose any sleep over it, cos my car is spot on

I wont loose any sleep either Gaz, but some people have had more issues than others, even after 'building them properly'. The purpose of this poll is to show there are consumers out there that want this.

whatever matey knock ya self out

No thanks, I still hurt from last week.

I've not got a Durango as it was just too Damn expensive.
I like the look of the 'r' and will buy one.
I'm totally with anyone who feels Durango should supply the new 2.0mm pins etc at a discounted price, the originals weren't up to the job. Why else would they change them?

Personally i'd be well miffed if i'd spent £450 large then the company bring out a budget version shortly after that addresses all the problems with my 'pro' kit. The very least they could do is offer me an upgrade path at a discounted price.
