Hupo Honigl reports from Pre Season testing

Hupo Honigl reports from Pre Season testing

New Team Durango signing Hupo Honigl attended last weekend’s pre-Season race held at the Rhein-Mein Circuit in Bischofsheim, Germany and filed this report. A lot good drivers attended the race at Bischofscheim including Neumann, Drescher, Ronnefalk, Svenson, Reckward, as well as many top German drivers. Gerd made some subtle changes to a couple of parts and all I can say is that they work awesome. In the first practice run the car felt already pretty good, but the shocks were too soft and also the diff oils were too soft. I changed from 5k-5k-2k to 10k-10k-2k and changed the shockoil to 10 harder in the front and 5 harder in the rear. This helped a lot.

Team Durango DESC410R announced

Team Durango have made a cryptic announcement today about their latest project in their cost effective ‘R’ line, the DESC410R. No other information was given except for that it is close to finalised, but the SC monicker would suggest a short course truck, while the rest of the name leads us to believe that it is an electric 4wd 1/10th scale. We can expect more details soon.
