Durango Success In South Africa
Last weekend saw the third round of the South African National series take place. Jaco van Eeden from Team Durango’s South African distributor Hobbyfreaks sent this report of the event:
The third round of the Electric 1:10 South African National Championship was held at Swartkops Model Raceway this past weekend.
We had very good weather the sun was shining all weekend. The track was an old 1:8 scale track with hard packed surface. Being a 1:8 track meant it was a very long and very challenging track with some big jumps. A strong buggy with good handling was required.
The DEX410’s were on top, and dominated qualifying, lining up numbers 1 and 2 on the grid. TQ was held by myself, Jaco van Eeden and 2nd place driver was Charles Hollander. There were another two DEX410’s in the A main with Mark van den Berg in 8th and Gary Styger in 9th.
The track was a challenge of both a car’s strength and handling capability. The Team Durango DEX410 proved it has both of these attributes and came out on top.
The final results for Team Durango were:
- 1. Jaco van Eeden (TQ)
- 5. Charles Hollander (Qualified 2nd)
- 7.Gary Steiger (Qualified 9th)
- 8.Mark van der Berg (Qualified 8th)
Four of the top ten cars were DEX410’s, showing that it was the fastest car on the track.
