get one - they're brilliant. I got one a couple of weeks ago, funnily enough after taking almost 7 years out as well.
it's an amazing car to work on, very simple but with outstanding build quality. I've had to add weight to the back to compensate for lipo, but apart from that, it's superb out of the box.
I was also advised to consider the durga - but I've done the tamiya thing and I felt like going with a different manufacturer for a change. and i'm glad I did
