Gerd Strenge – The Facts

Durango

Since publishing Gerds first statement which was heavily discussed on the oOple forums, i have received another statement from Mr. Strenge clarifying a few points brought up by individuals as well as responding to the statement made by Aero Racing. We didnt publish this statement from Aero for 2 reasons; 1. We didn’t receive it and 2. It didnt tackle any of the accusations and seemed to try and make this whole thing into some sort of conspiracy.

Their latest product is this sleeve tool which has been made for .12 engines and compliments the previously released version for .21 engines. What it does is make the removal of the sleeve from the casing a simple task, just press it into the sleeve and pull it out, easy and most importantly eliminates the damage caused by the use of cable ties and other removal methods.

Trinity Drake glow plugs

The master of off road, Adam Drake, knows a thing or two about engines and so has released this new line of Glow Plugs for his Trinity Platinum Series engines. Available in both turbo and standard non turbo versions, they are only available in one heat type, but fit all engines and another thing is that they are not just sold as a single plug, but you can buy them in packs of 4, thus saving you money.

Morotech release options for RDX Phi

Japanese firm Morotech have today released these new items for use with the new Corally RDX Phi touring car. First up is this rather cool looking, and very light, carbon fiber tool to aid in the adjustment of the differentials on the Phi. The forks on the tool go into the drive cups on the diff and allow you to check if its slipping or not by allowing you to turn the pulley while both ends of the diff are held from rotating. The other piece from Morotech are these diff seal protectors that come in a pack of 8 and are available for the 42T and the 36T diff pulleys.

Gerd Strenge – Official Statement

The Real Durango

We have been contacted by Gerd Strenge, designer of the Durango 4wd electric buggy, to make a statement regarding some very disturbing news about, what basically amounts to theft by Belgian firm Aero Racing. As some of you may be aware, 2 weekends ago was the first race of the UK Nationals for off road and at that event a new firm was present called Aero Racing, claiming to have produced a new car called the A-One which was ‘based’ on the Durango, and they also claimed to have bought the full concept from Mr Strenge. This turns out to be a complete lie and, despite contact with Aero Racing by Gerd, they continue to use Gerds name and the Durango name to promote this rip off.

The text above is the opinion of Red RC, not that of Gerd Strenge.
