Can't really describe mine any other way given the Tresrey addiction.
I know I need to get the front tower next but there isn't anything wrong with the AC one I have now. I'm going to skip the Tresrey chassis though as its £110 and its not red.....

Anyway does that mean you've gone full circle back to Durango again? And no doubt learnt nothing from the whole journey about it not being the car.....

It has the same shell scheme as my old Yokomo so she just thinks its that. Actually the Yokomo used the same scheme as the D4 I had before that, so she probably hasn't noticed that change either. I know she thinks its pretty old.
Nearly came undone at the Woodvale Rally meet at Southport as she was there, and there were several other 210's running. Fortunately mine is has been so customised it was easy to claim it was a different (earlier) version as there are a lot of visual differences to a standard 210.

Maddy's rongo is great... for about two laps, then either a wheel falls off, it melts a battery or switches itself off.

Rongos are so notorious for wheels falling off, you'd think they would sort a decent thread out?

Give me a bell tomorrow pal, Il talk the setup over with you.

It's not the thread that's the issue with rango wheels, it's binding in the hub.
Or worn wheels, the old 12mm round very easy. If the round every time you hit the power on break, you undo the nut 1/4 turn.

Call me tomorrow il sort it with you

Not sure why but I had some wheelnut issues with my 210 that disappeared as soon as I swapped the plastic hexes for nice metal Tresrey ones.
Come to think of it thats were it all started......
