As a returning racer after some 10 years away from the sport I have chosen a DB01 Durga as my 4WD model. My reason for this choice was due to the fact that it accepts LiPo stick packs which means I can run the same cells as I do in my 2WD, however I would not have purchased it if I had not been convinced of its capabilities.

For a beginner I believe that the DB01 offers many advantages not least of all its reported durability, but far and away what I believe to be the biggest advantage of this particular model is its ability to be upgraded as your skills and finances allow. Out of the box the car I have no doubt will meet the needs of a novice driver (not too quick as to be off putting but still fast enough to be fun) with the addition of only a few reasonably priced upgrades as mentioned previously the car will perform to the standard of pretty much any model in its class as Jimmy's review and contribution to the Durga thread testifies.
