I present you my crazy project!!!

First, the story:

In 2004 or 2005 I saw Bob Claes in Kampenhout for a training with his Durango. After that I was a Durango fanatic!!!

So I tried to contact Gerd Strenge to buy one, but I never received answer.

Here the Bob's Durango:

In 2008 I had the opportunity to have a Durango in my hands for few weeks. So I decided to draw a copy. For that I learned by myself the bases of Solidworks and I drew that:

After I modified the chassis to convert in 2007 version:

To finalize to project, it was possible with the Aeroracing Company. They made the specifics parts like the center driveshafts from the A-one.

So I ordered parts, I payed, but I never received the parts!! Thanks Aeroracing alias Bob Claes

In 2010 I bought a DEX410, I was happy, but it was not like an original Durango.

So I decided to adapt the transmission in my "project".

I modified about 50% of my drawings to install the DEX410 transmission, to use metric bearings and to use 25mm lipo.

And finally it's compatible!

Here 3d print to look if all is ok:

All others parts will come from DEX410!

After that I converted a traditional milling machine to CNC, I made the controller and I learned softwares to use it:

After some tests I can made the first aluminum parts!!!

Now I just need time to finish the project.

Milling take a lot of time and with the family it's not so easy...

Now I'm also the owner of an original Durango 2005!

What is the FF210?

The FF210 is a conversion kit that turns the Team Durango DEX210V2 and DEX210 into a competitive front-wheel-drive buggy for low-medium bite surfaces such as dirt, outdoor clay, grass and wet astroturf.

What makes the FF210 unique?

The front-wheel-drive concept offers higher cornering speeds than rear-wheel-drive buggies whilst also maintaining better stability, resulting in a car that is both consistent and quick. In addition to that, the majority of the car is made with state-of-the-art materials and production techniques, amongst which the use of additive manufacturing.

What’s does the kit consist of?

In the kit are nylon 3D components (dyed black), carbon fibre composite plates, a clear polycarbonate bodyshell and some small parts and hardware. In addition with a (separately available) Team Durango DEX210V2 donor vehicle and electronics, you can build the FWD Buggy. With addition of a few parts, the conversion kit is also compatible with the DEX210 (details available in the price list, see at the end of the post).

I am interested. How do I go from here?

We have opened up a pre-order until the 25th of August for the first batch. The kit and parts are directly available from us by email: Orbracing@gmail.com. We are also working to get a webshop online as soon as possible - until that time, the price list is available through this link.

Un 4x2 et en préparation chez DURANGO...

Un petit sujet dédié au Team Durango afin de pouvoir presenter et discuter de ce qui viendra dans le futur

Je suis débutant et possède un dex210 rtr! J'ai roulé une bonne dizaine de pack et je voudrai démonter pour un entretien.

Je n'ai actuellement que du wd40 dans ma caisse et il est donc grand temps que j'achète huilés et graisse.

Je roule proncipalement sur terre sur la poste de lvdm mais susceptible de rouler également moquette ou astro.

Quelles viscosité huile amorto prendre ?25/30/35/40? Ou autres?

Et pour le diff? 5000 et puis???

Que faut il que j'achète comme graisse/ lubrifiant?

Et pour finir ça vaut quoi les huiles graisses de chez hobbyking (trackstar)

Merci a tous.

Hupo Hönigl Interview 2013

Team Durango are proud of our rich racing heritage. Born from one man’s dream, we now benefit from a highly talented team of staff and pro drivers. If we had the chance to view a collection of C.V’s detailing our teams achievements it would make very inspirational reading.

For Team Durango to share our passion for racing with the world of RC it is important that we entrust our brand to the very best professional hands. When it comes to high level RC competition, Hupo Hönigl is a man who not only perfectly represents Team Durango, but who also stands as a strong example for professional motor sport as a whole. The Austrian born off-road racing star is everything Team Durango believe in. He is fast on the track, precise in his preparations and valuable as a consultant and information resource. His career has taken him across the globe and provided him with success in all classes he has chosen to race. Hupo is a real team player, often spending hours assisting other team drivers with important research and development tasks in preparation for high profile race meetings and product testing. He is revered by his peers and often feared by his close rivals. A multiple European champion and high scoring World Championship finalist, Hupo is only going in one direction with his already impressive racing career, to the very top.

Team Durango are ‘Serious About Racing’. Hupo Hönigl is serious about everything he does, with truly world class results.

Team Durango – At what age did you win your first off-road race meeting?

Hupo – I was 11 and it was my first race ever. It was my second time on a race track.

Team Durango – How long have you been involved with Team Durango?

Hupo – I used a Durango hand-made prototype in 2006, long time before the company was founded. At that time Gerd Strenge made cars just for fun!

Team Durango – Do you work closely with Team Durango founding father Gerd Strenge?

Hupo – Yes of course, we are good friends and work together on new ideas and test/make prototypes; we Skype very often and spend a long time doing so!

Team Durango – What has been your proudest moment in your career with Team Durango so far?

Hupo – For myself when I won the German Nationals 1/8th scale off-road in my first year. For the team when Jörn won

the Reedy Race in 2012, because we worked hard for that success!

Team Durango – What is your favourite track surface to race on and why?

Hupo – It is carpet, because it is fast, consistent and makes close racing possible!

Team Durango – Can you describe the feeling you get just before the buzzer goes in a high pressure A main final?

Hupo – I try to calm down and concentrate as best as possible – a bit of excitement also does not hurt…

Team Durango – If you could choose one element of the Durango DEX410V3 as your favourite, what would it be and why?

Hupo – I love how easy you can take out the complete diffs! The drive shaft and shock boots are also some of my favourite features. I like the complete radical design!

Team Durango – How often do you get the chance to travel outside of Europe to race? Tell us where you travel to?

Hupo – The biggest and most important races in off-road are in America, so we go there as often as possible!

Team Durango – What is your favourite racing class and why?

Hupo – 2WD because it is the smoothest class of all!

Team Durango – Do you prefer a buggy that is set-up to over steer slightly or under steer? What do you find more suited to your driving style?

Hupo – A buggy needs to steer! Under steer is terrible!

Team Durango – Do you think that with the massive amount of options we see on modern ESC’s that less experienced racers can become confused? What is your opinion on ESC turbo settings?

Hupo – I think even with that many options it is easier than in the past – all the speedos have standard profiles, which work fine; And if you know more about your speedo you can set it up perfectly.

Team Durango – Describe your driving style as a colour?

Hupo – BLUE, smooth and nice

Team Durango – As a young racer did you learn from anybody specifically as you developed your skills?

Hupo – I really started to learn a lot when I started to drive international races! I learned a lot from Jukka Steenari and David Spashett.

Team Durango – Can you describe the feeling you experience the night before a big Euro or Worlds race meeting?

Hupo – Nothing special anymore…

Team Durango – How do you relax when you are not racing? Any other hobbies?

Hupo – I try to spend as much time as possible with my wife and my son.

Team Durango – What is the best thing about representing Team Durango?

Hupo – We are working on new exciting stuff all the time and people are always interested in what we do!

Team Durango – How many Team Durango vehicles do you possess? Do you carry several different cars for each class to be able to switch set-ups quickly?

Hupo – I have a car for each class, except 2WD and 4WD 10th scale – I have indoor and outdoor cars.

Team Durango – What is your favourite race meeting each year and why?

Hupo – Cactus Classics, amazing weather, a lot of traction and really cool tracks!

Team Durango – Can you explain the role you play in the development of new Team Durango products?

Hupo – I give my input to pretty much everything and also start new ideas.

Team Durango – Describe the DEX210 in 3 words?

Hupo – Most, adaptable, ever.

Team Durango – How did you choose the colours for your racing livery? Have you always had the same colour scheme?

Hupo – I always had blue in my bodies, the actual scheme I have had for 12 years now, unchanged! It has grown until a point where I think it is perfect.

Team Durango – What advice would you give a young club racer who wants to progress to larger racing events?

Hupo – Practise, practise, practise!

Team Durango – Do you prefer 2WD or 4WD?

Hupo – 2WD, because it is smoother!

Team Durango – Name your favourite off-road track of all time?

Hupo – Competition Hobbies Tucson Arizona when it was wet surface and everybody used slicks – nicest traction ever!

Team Durango – Team Durango strive for perfection with every product we create. Can you explain why Team Durango products are so exciting for you?

Hupo – Team Durango make everything in style and do not just copy other manufacturers, that is what people like to see!

Team Durango – What is your main goal for 2013?

Hupo – The Euros and Worlds.

Team Durango – Explain the most important element of becoming fast on any track?

Hupo – Tight lines and as minimum drifts as possible.
