Short Course vehicle makes sense... with all the money durango has dumped into R&D these past 9 years (first durango cars: 2001, right?), and the little return they've probably gotten lately (thank the financial crisis and stranded disposable income for that), they need cash, quick... with a SC they'll lost their soul to the hardcore racers who swear by the Dex410 and their soon-to-be-release 8th scale jewel, but they "could" crack the huuuuuge US market where SC is the only thing that matters there these days, with only a few investments like a longer chassis and a flattened-roach-shaped piece of lexan (sorry, that's what most SC look to me...)
Then again I might be completely smoking dope
