I thought DCM was a team driver?
Either way I think we've all 'seen' an SBV2 back when guys like Snee were factory drivers. Afaik the car has progressed since then, especially the PRO version.

How much are other cars over there Metla? You are talking like the car cost 350 quid (like a lot of 4WD cars do) - which is over 900 NZD. Saying the car cost 300NZD with postage (!) equates to ~116 quid which I have to say is an absolute bloody bargain regardless of what anything else costs.

Unless you have incredibly generous importers in NZ then I'd hazard a guess that 4WD competition buggies generally cost a lot more than that.

btw, I totally appreciate your opinion and I also based my opinion on the price of the car. Give me a 250 quid car with screws like this and I'll stamp on it. Give me a 116 quid car with proven suspension and great racing potential and I'll cuddle it at night.
I'm sure if I get time I'll review the SBV2 and I agree it looks good. the early examples I saw had very flexible chassis and I heard some problems with materials and hubs, but maybe those are all fixed now.
