Yes i have hara's old car / pinish
but no driver realy of that caliber ran it for long just a quick outing then back to Gerd
yes your right lee with out adding weight it would probably be weird
but we never know....gerds clever
i think i can say that Gerds design practises are ace and this car will be first class ,fully tested...no probs at all

I do agree with you Gerd is a genius and the car is a masterpiece, if it comes as it looks in the pics.

I think i will send you a pm mr rebel, i may a have a project for you ;)

PM away:)

To me the new car looks as good as the famous prototypes but much more refined...not at all compromised though......just easier to work on/maintain/durability/SENSE!
i personaly think this car will be quicker due to the odd mm here and there that has been added/shaved in the optomum directions determined by the old prototype project (Hara/Newman/Pinish/honigl/Reinhard/clauss/drescher/pavadis.etc):D
the old cars were built up from donor parts of numerous other touring/offroad cars and were very brutaly sucessfull for a home made basic car and phenominaly easy to drive fast! but this new car is all gerd strenge not just a couple of components...he has looked at and designed each component personaly so its got to go quicker and be more durable ( he likes to make cars that finish a season, not just a race if youre lucky, or a lap realisticly:lol:)

New info
 

Parts listing is up on the japanese site :p

Here's the translated version from babel fish ;)

I've just noticed that there's no mention of the brass weights :confused: i'm presuming that the bottom section is the hopup's. :)

durango
 

i must say i agree with all the other guys on the looks and layout, only time will tell if it is going to set the buggy world alight, i am really looking forward to follow its progress at grass roots level just to see how we mere mortals will cope with it.
going back to old cars though a really nice looking xx4 with a nice paint job will still give some of the lads a bit of a stiffy. good luck to the durango boys.

:cry:, but its a good thing they want the car right before public release:D

Ive got a PDF of prices and options, but it wont open:mad: says it has a file error, any one else have a working copy?

Here you go... £425.00 for the kit:cry:

Thats gunna hurt..

..and no word yet as to how much the brass weight kit is...

Id suggest not breaking a rear shock tower at £22 a pop :cry:

true, but i bet there almost indestructible

It says £445 on that list, still thats £5 cheaper then I thought it was going to be:D

As for prices of things like shock towers, hopefully, if what they've said so far about the quality, you need to have loads of spares in the race box, unlike the hateful B44 I had last year, just about £230 for the kit, then another £300 needed in spares:mad:

Wow.....nice driving there then.....

:p

looks like a lot of things on the list are still quite cheap, rear/front wish bones 6 quid etc..

hopefully the more expensive bits will be strong, they look strong anyway

bring it on:)

Agreed Dan, i think we should all just wait and see this thing of beauty on the track and in the flesh. Only then can we say this is strong,this is weak and so on.
Can't wait to get mine anyhow:thumbsup:

wow guys .
How often do you break a rear shocktower ??? :o

As for the spaires list ; it's Obvious that for a new company , launching a new kit ; it wasn't going to be cheap . :yawn:

I used to break a B4 rear tower every fortnight :(

We can't all be superstars Cris! :p

I'd better get a bigger spares box!!:woot:

You lining yourself for one of these Tel?

I wonder if any of these will show themselves at the Euros?

Maybe, not sure.
Depends how cheap I can get one for.

They do look the nuts though, and I think will be well worth getting.
:D

:lol::lol: Nope, nothing to do with my driving, the car is garbage, falls apart just by looking at a blade of grass, ask Jonathan Brown what he thinks of the strength of it, he was breaking wishbones without hitting anything at the EoE Regional at Ipswich a few weeks back:o

If it was a more main stream sort of product, Watch Dog would be after Associated:p

Back to the Durango, I'm hoping it'll be a bit like the 5 series BMW I had as a kid, everyone said I'd never be able to afford to run it, but in 34,000 miles, nothing went wrong, or fell off:D unlike the Vauxhall Senator that followed:cry:

I think the prices are quite reasonable :D granted the shock towers do seem expensive but you pay £14 front and £15.99 rear for cat SX towers and there's not half the amount of carbon fiber in the sx version as there is in the durango's. Can't wait, just need to get the money together :blush:

I never seen a 4mm carbon shocktower broken...

I have one in front of me now...... :D

G

I saw tony evdoka break one at the weekend :eh?:

but he did also snap the top off a losi shock.... I think anything would have broke in that instance. 4.5 + epr = snappage

wow was just about to comment then griff. i read something elso instead of snapage lol

Snappage? :lol:

Team Durango Ltd (UK)

It's not mine :cry:

But :drool::drool::drool::drool:

I just check back the chinese site again to see if any more news, they added some english descriptions, so I think is also a sample kit but with the box only.

So not suprises, we still need to wait until end of July! :cry:

So who are you, and when will the distributor be announced ?:)
