Durango DNX408 Sold Out Until March 2011 – update
After brining you news that Durango announced that they as a manufacturer has sold out of both the first and second production batches of their much-anticipated DNX408 nitro off-road buggy, here is the update clarifying the situation and confirming that their distributors will get their stock that they have ordered. Here is their official statement:
“DNX408 SOLD OUT
We have sold out of the first and second batches of DNX408’s. Sorry, but the ‘408’s that are out there out with distributors and on there way to shops now (first batch) plus what’s soon to be out there (later in December, second batch) is all that we are likely to be able to get until March. We tried our best for this not to happen – We got forecasts in advance off all the distributors world wide, which is based on what they expected their market needed from seeing our pre-release photos. In most cases the distributors estimate high to make sure they get what they need and to hold some in stock. Durango then ordered based on that total, plus some for stock for the first batch – but with the pace the car showed at the WC they where SOLD OUT before even being packed. Before going to Pattaya we gambled on ordering a second batch (same quantity) for holding in stock, that batch is SOLD OUT as well. The bottom line is that Durango is sold out of the DNX408 until around March, so if you want a DNX408 you’ll have to reserve one of the ones that’s out there or soon to be out there with the shops and distributors that trusted in Team Durango.”
Update
“Only Team Durango has sold out of the DNX408.
The shops and distributors are NOT sold out. Distributors and shops are now getting the DNX408 kits they ordered from the first batch. 
We do not know how long this stock will last, please contact your local hobby shop or distributor. The next (second) batch will arrive at distributors and shops around late December. 
We do not know how long this stock will last, please contact your local hobby shop or distributor. Spares supply for the DNX408 is not affected. All important spares shipped with the kits and are out there, plus we have plenty in more stock to support the cars.
 The none critical spares and most popular options are arriving now, again in big numbers to fully support the cars out there. In short – we have loads of spares,
 its only the kit supply that is affected. Team Durango is a race company run by racers, we know how important spares supply is, so we made plenty of spares to support the cars.
Future supply: 
Right now the next batch of kits is due in March (because some items have long lead time), but individual spares can be topped up at much shorter notice, but as mentioned above we have lots in stock already.”
