Team Durango DEX410 oOple Review

September 17, 2009 · Posted in News, Off Road, Reviews · by simon · 1 Comment

I’m constantly amazed how good Jimmy’s radio control car reviews on oOple are. Today he published a massive review of the Team Durango DEX410.

This 4wd off-road 1/10th electric buggy looks terrific. It’s a really interesting design, check out that quick release layshaft, and all those rubber gaiters.

The chassis is an alloy plate, all very 8th buggy. Use of light LiPo and motors that provide too much power means cars can be made heavier. These are then more stable, and the first place to start with this extra weight is the chassis. Brilliant!

The car did well at the recent Euros, and UK support should be good with Adam Skelding as distributor.

I really like my Tamiya DB01, but I doubt it’s really a top-end competition machine. I have a feeling that the Durango might be my next 4wd car, I hope they become popular and wish Gerd Strenge of Team Durango all the best with his new car.

Reality Racing Cup at SHMCC

September 6, 2009 · Posted in Racing, Touring Cars · by simon · 3 Comments

My Local Hobby Store, Reality Racing holds a touring car race series at SHMCC every year. Being a lazy racer, I’ve not managed to compete in any of the 6 rounds. But today I popped along to soak up the atmosphere and take some pictures.

The series is a great example of a small business and a local club working well together. 30-40 drivers have turned up regularly for each round, which is great numbers, and as a result there’s some great racing. And that’s not the whole club by any means, there’s probably half again that regularly race who weren’t at today’s meeting.

That sounds like RC is healthy to me, despite the recession!
