Well, at £90 it's cheap(ish) and if you love Tamiya then knock yourself out boss, but IMHO it'll get it's arse kicked by a bog stock B4 (probably even a bog stock B4 with a front wheel missing). And when it breaks - which it will - you'll struggle with trackside spares which means stocking up on stuff in advance which is expensive.
The DT02 chassis is better than a lot of other Tamiya stuff but it's still not ideal for racing (unless you're lucky enough to be running solely against other Tamiya's). Then again, I wouldn't take a B4 into the park for a thrash round either, it's horses for courses. If you are limited to £90 you'd be far better off looking for a lightly used B4 or Losi XXX-CR. Racing is great and nothing sucks more than having a car that you have to fight all the time just to get round a lap.
Soz, I'm just being realistic.
