Although I suspect that I should be looking at a B44....I still seem to have a youth affinity with Tamiya....so, here I am...
Looking at the DB01......a local shop has one super discounted to about £150.....new....or, a couple of places online have the DB01-R.....for about £210....

£150! Shows you what the exchange rate does to things though, I bought mine a month after launch and paid about £80 for the kit from HK (as no one in the UK had it then).
+1 on what everyone else has already said. The only "essential" hop ups are dampers, slipper, 501X diff halves (on the rear) and alloy hingepin mounts. Everything else - as ever with Tamiya - is just down to how much bling you want and they do make some nice stuff.
