Just to say it was very nice to meet you all and you have picked the best driver to show off your product. Hope you guys come and see us soon and well done again. P.S I am the guy that SOKED Lee at the end of the day.:D :D :D :D

thanks stu man!!!!

myown make shift dad, always there to lend a hand, give advise or cheer me up.

love ya man.

thankyou

Wish I had waited now before I got the XX4 that looked the muts a few questions.

Who will be the distributer (bad spelling)

Will spares be available

Can you fit a brushless in it.

How much is a XX4 worth :)

lol...

for now it will be sold directly...and spares wil be carried by shops, the main one being the race place.

yes you can fit a brushless in.

sell the xx4 before too many people get wind of the Aero!

then it will be worth more!!!

hehe

Looks cool lee. Good luck with 2007 with it. By the sounds of it and the way it performed at tivverton it should be ace for the rest of the season.

:) It appears to be true that all good things come to those that wait!
I'd seen the Durango a little while back and I was bitterly disappointed that you couldn't buy them. I'd been mulling over whether I could justify the cost of an S4 each for my son & I and then I saw this. Guess I'll be having to do some more overtime at work now!
Will there be a version available with the aluminum parts or will they be available as hop ups?
:)

upgrades will be available.....

unsure on what aluminum parts will be on the car yet. have to ask Mr Aero

There will be upgrades / hop ups but first we will sort out the "standard" boxes. Next step will be alu-parts or coloured parts. Can't give you a date on that for the moment. Most important thing is getting the boxes ready asap.

what is the connection with Belgium?
just the company that will make the "Durango" for Gerd is located there?

German designer, Belgian factory and UK (lee), German (Jörn), .... team drivers ? :)
Yihaa, multicultural!

as far as i know gerd has nothing to do with Aero.

Aero is new and has all in house designers, molders and team members...

right bob?

thats right Lee. It's a new company who does everything inhouse

AHHHHHHHHHH bob bob bob bob bob bob i gettit now!!!!








sorry :)

oooooooooooooh hahaha

Dag Bob :)

So some kind of belgian copy brand? :confused:


Sorry, just kidding! :D


Seriously, how dod you manage to get hold of a Durango to dublicate it? I always thought Gerd loves to be an underdog waiting for the one big deal with AE, Losi or someone else. :rolleyes:

Cheers

Seb

First of all it's not a dublicate! The concept idea is the same but the car will be in graphite with alu parts . Secondly we've made a lot of changes to the car, the steering is different, major changes to the geometrie (front and rear) etc...
But we don't need to defend anything I guess, we bought the rights on the car and used the concept, quite simple:)

We talked about the idea with Gerd and if he was interested selling the designs, he agreed. That's how it all started...

Hi!

I just read about that in Jimmy's Tiverton report. ;) Thanks on clarification. Any plans of making Gerd's 2WD "Plan-B" also? Or will you have your own design?

Cheers

Seb

Everything is designed in house, with support of the university. Plans for the future... first of all it's getting this car ready then we'll see what happens or not happens:).

First of all congrats on the win at Tivvy, bloody good job!

Second of all congrats on such a superb looking car, with some very nice and neat little touches.

I do have a couple of questions though.

1. Will a standard size servo fit in the car, or is it low profile only?

2. How will the torsional rigidity be affected by the change in chassis material or will you be using a top deck to enhance this?

Other than this 10/10 for a top effort and I wish you all the best of luck with the project and the future.

Another question after looking through Jimmy's excellent photos.

What are the dimensions of the area where the speedo fits?? Will the new chassis allow for larger speedos?? It just looks tight with Lee's Novak GTX.

Can i have one please will put a deposit down if needed



When can i buy one and how will the spares back up work will we have to buy direct .

Thanks for the congratulations, we'll busy sorting out the servo area because till now it's only a low profile one that fits in. This has also an effect on the balance. The rigidity will not change at all, the material which we are going to use can handle the forces that occur. It's not a standard plastic or graphite material. Hope you questions are answered.

Aeroracing

There just fits in a brushless speedo ( i guess that is what you wanted to know:)) . We tried the brushless but we at team Aero asked Lee to run a brushed motor this time.

Regards
Aeroracing

There will be a reservation list on the website very soon. By the end of this week or at the beginning of next week. You just have to sign up. People will be able to buy the spares directly through the website but also probably via Lee in the UK.

Regards
Aeroracing

and the race place

:) I know the old saying goes 'if you have to ask you can't afford it', but I'm sure it's a question several looking at this forum would like to know the answer to, what's the likely price?
Are we talking a bit of domestic unrest or out & out divorce proceedings?
:)

the price has been answered throughout the forum.....

the aero will be around 500 euros. so £330 pounds ish.

Here's a pic of Benni Gröschels Durango with an LRP Sphere he raced in 2005 (?). Hope that helps ... :)

Cheers

Seb

pic not working sebastian?

What happened to Benni? I remember racing him at the Euro's quite a few times!

ooo no she wrks....well theres a brushless in a durango and the aero has a bit more space.

due to new steering

Benni retired due to his adjucation stuff at the university. I met him last year at the German 2WD Nationals (his only race in 2006) and he attended at an indoor race in Germany in February. Others than that he is not racing at the moment. :(

Pic should work now ... :o

I saw a pic with a Sphere mounted behind the steering (IIRC) but I can't find it anymore ... :(

Sebastian - get on with some work!!!!

Matt

lol.

Woudl MAttADH happen to be the editor of ADH's RC Racer magazine?:confused:;)

:wtf:

;)

I am afraid that Sebastian has nowhere to hide! He is our the Editor of the German edition of Racer and keen off-road racer too!

Hey, well done lee, good result.
