Does anyone know when the less expensive version will be made available. I have seen the full fat version and can see why it costs what it does. I just have not got the funds
![]() The durango is fantastic on every level. Apologies if this is posted elsewhere. |

I guess it is pretty lame to say this as a reply, and may not be welcome but...
Skip a couple of weekends of going out drinking, or save money elsewhere sell stuff on feebay, then pick up the current kit. It is worth every penny ![]() ![]()

Also, I think a molded chassis and ball diffs will make the buggy more forgiving and easier to drive because of the added flex. I've read about a lot guys having problems getting the car to settle down and drive smoothly. I have enough rc gear to start a hobby shop, so yes, I could sell some stuff and get the current version or just buy it. But that wasn't the intent of the query. |

in my opinion going to ball diffs is a backward step

In certain applications and on some tracks, it's my opinion that a molded chassis with more flex might make the car better. And, in some circumstances, lighter ball diffs may have a considerable advantage over the heavier metal gears. So, I have to respectfully disagree with your generalization.
Anyway, I'm not trying to argue with anyone on this or take anything away from the current version, I was just wondering if anyone knew about a release date or time frame for the budget version. Tough crowd in this thread ![]() |

Well you could buy the current kit and then buy the ball diffs and plastic chassis as tuning tools when they come out.

I actually agree with 4times on this one. Geared diffs isn't the b all and end all of the car. In some circumstances they can be a hindrance than a help.

but see below Quote:
mine is more consistant, reguires no maintanence of diffs, and they work as the car is getting good results, of road is not a restricted power class, a soft chassis can also hide a poor set up.......... thats my conclusion and a proven facts!

i don't now why they must bring out a cheaper version if you like this car, buy it, gear diffs with sillicon oil are the best, they last the longest i have a rc8te and this car has this kind of diffs to, it's a great thing that you can change the diffoil, it makes a lot of differents when tuning to different tracks
