Guys - thanks for the input, keep it coming
Regarding the DB01, there's two guys at the track with either DB01R or a decked out DB01. They aren't our fastest and cleanest drivers, but they do drive fairly well still, and they usually either break arms or shock towers... The car with the above mentionned hop-ups (mandatory slipper, CVD's, and needed others) actually becomes a bit expensive for budget-racing
Here's a pic of the kinda track I race on during the winter. The jumps are really, really unforgiving:

thanks for clearing the TeamC/Ansmann lineup - makes sense now
