NO parts in shops people will buy other manufacturers cars which impacts on the company in question as a whole less people buying there products means job cuts so it will filter down or up the line be it the distribution centres which are not doing there job to the rnd department. SO saying to people go buy other manufacturers parts is a real good thng to say to which you will end up having to do the same when the company finally bites the bullet and all those people who work there dont have jobs because a part of the company cannot be sorted out. many of us are selling up our durangos and switching to a manufacter that can supply parts to our stores.
So to say it has nothing to do with r n d of a company when there job is on the line within that company as people dump there product is inaccurate to say the least shops and racers will only stick with a brand for so long giving them time to sort out supply problems but when companies say one thing and you know shops who are well respected in the sport say well how come I been waiting 5 weeks for an order of parts and have a manager stand in there store saying they will be here within 72 hours and they still do not turn up leaving customers frustrated to the point they do go buy another brand of vehicle then its only the brand that suffers.
I will re itterate my question I have posted that people havent either read or able to respond to
would you buy a road vehicle with the knowledge of not being able to get parts or a dealer network?
and yet durango continue to expect people to buy there brand with both these problems as shops(dealers pull out)

OK got it. Hobby shops not being able to stock parts causes those hobby shops to close and for the people working there to lose their jobs which leads to higher national unemployment numbers and ultimately countries to go bankrupt. You learn something everyday.
Comparing a full sized car company to an rc car is just plain and simple, asinine. Parts support is just fine here with their new 1/8 scale products and feedback on the performance has been fantastic. I'm not even speaking as a person that owns one of the new vehicles since I don't. For what I do own, I've never had a single issue ever getting what I needed. They can only fix one product line at a time. It's simple business. Work on one thing until it's done or work on everything and fix nothing.
You clearly don't like Durango and have problems with them. Why not go somewhere else? How hard is that? Get rid of what you've got and get something else. I don't see the problem. It's elementary school level logic.
