I wouldn't worry about this statement, as you have the slipper it'll protect the transmission but if you just add the 501 diff halves in the rear (or the cheaper 3 racing version) then you should have no problems regardless of motor.

What he said. Outdrives on the rear and it's as capable as other buggies.
Guys - my statement was based on the probability of that common problem for noobs: to lock up the slipper or get it on the tight-side of a proper setting.
I was thinking about that when advising FrogJim to not throw in ANY motor and expect the plastic outdrives to hold up.

I agree the 501 or 3racing outdrives would be a great buy, and also go to a local club and ask anyone there if they'll help you make sure the slipper is set properly before putting serious horses in the car. They'll be able to explain and show you how it all works.

And it's a cracking car and handles really well when you get it up to speed. I wasn't trying to be negative about the DB01 - apologies if it sounded like that.
