Hi All.

I'm getting back into the sport after many years off, and require some advice.

I've been looking at 4x4 1/10 offroad cars, and have narrowed it down to two:
Tamiya DB01R
Team Associated B44
I can get them both for similar prices (including the bits that you don't get with the DB01R), although living in NZ the postage is the big cost.

I was looking at Novak for ESC/motor, probably around 8.5T and brushless.

And the cheaper Futaba 2PL 2.4GHz transmitter.

My concern with the DB01R is that the build might be too difficult?
Although it seems to have more upgrades that are more readily available.

I've been looking through Tower Hobbies and RC Model (Hong Kong).

I was looking at the 3Racing rear shock tower, as I read that the DB01 one was too low, but have been warned off 3Racing ones.

So my basic question is B44 or DB01R and why?!

All advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Simon
