Here's another bad sign for HobbiCo. They are shuttering Durango.

For the last few years people have been wondering about the brand, another example: https://aussierc.wordpress.com/2016/...-team-durango/

I think it's safe to say that TD has struggled for a long time and Hobbico decided now was the best time to finally pull the plug.

I think the RC industry is in a recession. Racing often takes the first hit. And Durango was up against two monsters in Associated and Losi.

Still, it's another bad thing for HobbiCo.

I'm doing my part, just ordered my 3rd non Axial crawler for 2017. Turns out it wasn't as hard as I thought

Got to use a coupon, pronounced coo-pin, and free shipping.
