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

To be fair, I think the first sentence already explains that:

After the Team Durango brand suffered a decline in business over the last couple of years

For the last few years people have been wondering about the brand, another example: https://aussierc.wordpress.com/2016/09/28/what-is-going-on-at-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.

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