Good choice mate, DB1 is an awesome car and one of my fave.
Just use the base setup, you could find it at tonyevdoka.com.
You should also found with the car a list of tips to properly build it, we can help too.
Tools : find a good 2.00 hex driver (mostly used), a 1.5 and 2.5.
If you run Smallbores, you'll need silver front springs and Dark yellow/yellow rear springs, black, blue and Cobalt if you want to have all the usefull ones.
I recommend 3racing alloy rear link plates, the stock plastic part tends to break, just as it would on an FS2.
As for parts, I would say a couple of wishbones, front bulkead set, rear bulkhead and shock tower, hinge pins just in case (not often). I hardly break any parts but found after a lot of practice and races I had better change the plastics (once a year ?)
I used a 25 pinion with a 78 spur with a 7.5 and well, to be honest I would not recommend a 6.5 on a 2wd. If you want good punch and speed a 8.5 is good enough and even on the short therm you'll break less parts so this will not mean more money either, quite the opposite in fact
I came back to RC with a 2wd and 6.5 and it was not a good idea.
Anyway, Tony is always here for help on this car (among others).
