Default Disappointment in durango

We'll have to say I am very disappointed with durango I have been a loyal customer for many years when received my 210f today (big thanks to insideline) when opened the box I found they no longer supply wheels with the kit and at nearly 300pound am very disappointed if I knew this I could of ordered when getting the kit now I have to make a second order to get wheels it is not made clear by no means spoken to hobbico and wasn't very helpful this is the part in the read up that surpose to tell you there is no wheels witch isn't a straight answer I think

Whilst it is a little stingy for that price, it's hardly the end of the world. I'm sure the vast majority of people who aren't buying this as their first ever buggy have got some sets of wheels and tyres they'd be using anyway.

The wording is a little iffy, but there is a link at the bottom of the page to a list of specifications and required items, where 12 or 14mm hex wheels are clearly listed. Although it isn't immediately obvious, it's not as though they advertise it as coming with wheels, so there's no mis-selling or (in my opinion) deliberate underhand selling tactics going on. It just hasn't been laid out as clearly as it could have been.

Ye I understand with the various size hex wheels and that some manufacturers dont supply wheels and yes I have other wheels that I could fit but like most people when getting a new kit like fitting all new an not used wheels also as Durango have always supplied wheels yes you would usually expect them in there and yes I know they don't cost much but when you start adding delivery on it ends up turning in to 10/15pound

Go on Hobbico, keep sticking it to the man. I had enough of them when spares for my V4 were non exsistant, but I can only imagine other brands love it when they release a new product... more potential customers for them in the future.
Next it will be- no transmission included, allowing you to choose from a rear motor, mid motor 3 gear or 4 gear tranny, all at extra cost.

Also no thread locker in kit or black grease for transmission yet doesn't say its not provided any over Durango kit I had has always been included real good start to a build this is turning out
