DB01 - stick with it or go for something new?

[cjm_2008]

I'm going through another mini purchasing crisis again

I've been considering getting a 4wd for the indoor season, and I've been weighing up the various options, like the 511, b44.1, dex410 v3, etc etc. then I remembered that I've still got the durga sitting on a shelf in the garage.

it does need a bit of work; some of the screw heads have rounded off, there's an issue with the belt tensioning system (the rear diff is dragging and I'm having trouble getting it to sit nicely with the cover screwed down) and more dremmelling is required to get the lipo packs to sit lower.

is anyone still running the durga, and doing well with one?

the impression I got when racing it was that the drivetrain is a bit fragile. I've got the 501 outdrives, associated shocks & alloy hinge pin retainers etc.

should I try and get it going again or just be done with it & buy a 'better' car?
