So out the box it looks the nuts but performace is down ands needs tweaking, Then get charged ££ for rear hubs with some toe in, ££ for wishbone hangers with anti squat, £££ more or less castor.
And of course after having the originaly ally parts you couldn't degrade youself and put plastic parts on, have to be ally ones.
the insert system is just amazing, how many times have parts been bought tried then slung in the box cos they wre no better or worse?!
Race performace 1st looks 2nd.

Did I mention alloy parts? Nope
Do I want all singing all dancing shock towers? Nope
A good example is the 410v3, alloy hangers all round, gold shock shafts, alloy shock oring caps and that has more machined parts plus 4wd. Yes its 4wd but spec wise it's amazing for the money (£90 more than a 210) well done Durango.
Then look at the 210 spec, what do you actually get for your money very little apart from an alloy rear suspension hanger. Very poor indeed.
The performance is fine, but put it next to your box stock 410v3 and wonder could they have tried harder?????
The first 3 things I mentioned in the original post would probably be fine and would cost durango very little indeed as they have been knocking them out since day one. Fair enough alloy hexes I would class as a luxury but the rest is what everyone would generally expect and be happy with.
I'm not bashing Great Planes but seriously I know they've been reducing the cost and specs of the kits to make them more appealling but they didn't need to so drastically on the 210 compared to other models this is my gripe.
