Thanks for all your info, IT HAS ARRIVED!

I am blown away by the build quality and am pleased that it has been really looked after considering it has been used. it is the 410R version with alloy shock mounts and plastic side pods but has many hop up parts and all the spares and parts not used during the original build by the previous owner. it has a brass weight block on the rear as well and 4 wings of differing sizes and shapes, also the shock oil and grease and silicone all unused and all for £130! really pleased.

i have stripped it down and seen nothing that raises concern or suspiscion but it does have different coloured shock springs front and rear. light blue and dark blue? and a spare set of silver. i presume i need to buy more springs so they match, best place? uk based.

the ride height seems high also approx 50mm almost double the amount needed according to an old set-up sheet i found on durango website. how do i lower it?

ill try and get a couple of photos up later.

Now the job of buying the parts to get it running. have done so much research over the last 48 hours but have decided on speed passion for the ESC and motor and will go for the orion lipos and a savox servo. that little lot should come in around £200.

as for charger, who knows? but dont want to spend too much on that.

also going to pick up an ansmann W6 with receiver for £70 new as a starting point.

Thanks again
