OK, I hear what you're saying re the DT02 chassis and racing, from looking at other sites it appears this is a dead end alley even in MS form (which I can't find for sale anywhere - possibly discontinued?) if you want to be competitive racing.
But as I said this is for bashing first and foremost, though with oil dampers and full ball races, I would have thought that the Gator would at least be suitable (if not necessarily that competitive) should I decide to have a go at racing in a beginners class. Of course if I really caught the racing bug I would probably either just sell the Gator / Mad Rat or give it to my son for bashing and buy a second hand B4 or RB5.
So what I really want to know is why the Mad Rat is "rubbish" (I know it's cheap), what specifically are you referring to? Is it easy / cheap to sort?
Equally, why should I "forget" Tamiya? Which aspects of a Gator let it down?
Cheers
