If you are buying your kits with second hand value in mind I am sorry but this is the wrong hobby for you. Buy it. Race it enjoy it and buy spares for it. That's how all the firms survive. The durango kits have gone from a good deal to a really silly too good to miss kind of deal. I wish I got mine at that price. But fact is I didn't and don't care cos I love this sport and in the grand scheme of things it isn't really very expensive. The very nature of racing wears stuff out and breaks stuff. Just enjoy it for what it is.
