Is the DB01R still worth getting
Hi All
My son has been racing a DF02 chassis whilst learning and we have pretty much maxed out the capabilities of the chassis with hop ups, Lipo, Brushless and a decent servo. It is probably time to get him a proper race chassis and the cost of a 511 is prohibitive. Is the DB01R still worth buying. I can get one in the US new for $199 (130 quid) or we are looking at the second hand B44/Dex410/SX2 route. I have a B44.1 so am encouraging similar to share spares etc but he is quite stuck on Tamiya. What do you think please? Last edited by cutting42; 24-08-2012 at 10:49 PM. Reason: typo correction

The Tamiya is still a good car (with the correct upgrades) and probably far more capable than your sons current chassis

I think the DB01 is an awesome car - the DB01R is a bit of an exercise in bling and is not really much better for racing than the standard car because the first thing to break is the diffs - and these are the same poor design. With minimal upgrades though it's a great car.
I got my F2 license with a DB01
