| Here are my thoughts:
1) Watch what the fast guys are driving. Look at the AVG. top five 5 finishes. Many times it's the driver, set up knowledge, and the car alone is not always the reason why a car does well. It know you know this, but it's just good sense.
2) It also helps to go with what you are most familiar with. For example, when I first bought the Durango DEX410R I was truly in the dark with the set ups, what will/will not work, etc. This was such a new car that there was not a large database of info to pool from, so it was trial and error 99% of the time. I took me ONE full racing season to dial that thing in. So be aware, that although the Durango is a work of art, it may not be the best decision for you.
3) Expense. The Durango will be more expensive than the Losi and probably the other buggies as well. Durango doea make very nice stuff though.

| Then you should have kept my favorite of all time, XRAY XB8EC, nothing is better than this unbreakable and perfectly designed to be balanced and easy to work on at the same time, the XB9 might replace it but the XB808 is not better in my opinion. I got 3 rollers of this baby now. xD just need piston and sleeve and will get nitro going. | |

| The Durango's always look so good! Used to race a 1/10 4WD 410. Gino, hit the best points to consider when choosing a platform to race with and will add parts availability, online setup, and local support to the list when choosing. Best of luck with the new chassis and cannot wait to see it out on the tracks. | |

| Thats true Jason and Gino the only way I can get parts for this car is "a main hobbies" and "tower hobbies" but they are always out of stock Or ebay but I have to get a lot of parts at the same time, that way I wont have any trouble looking for part in a long time. Anyway Thanks for your help guys P.S I cant wait to race at the new tracks Bobby's and Hals See you all on may 26th | |
