Put it this way, I had an electrical issue in the second race of the day, which meant I couldn't run the DEX for the rest of the day, so had to go back to my trusty Yokomo BX, which I've run for 3 seasons now, know inside and out, perfectly set-up for me and the local tracks, etc, and I only got close to beating that driver once all day, after the DEX was put away, he was his usual unbeatable self.
Also, on a track that got faster as the day went on, it took me 4 races till I nipped under the fastest race lap for the DEX, and like I said, Yokomo, perfectly set-up, known for years, Durango, run once, guessed at the set-up, so
alot more to come from it
Much like what Adam said, I don't have a problem with the car costing £445, my wife on the other hand does
But it was 3 years ago when I got my Yok BX, and that was a £400 kit back then, and while the quality of that car was way beyond anything else, part of the reason I bought it, the Durango's quality makes it look like a B44!, which is by far the worse made car I've ever built.
Any doubts I might've had about if it was worth it or not, all went away in that one race
If you want to run at your local club, buy just about anything, if you want to win, buy a DEX, simples.
