hi every 1 just joined this site. looking to get into this hobby. can someone point me in the right direction please?

the dfo3 looks like it sits much higher than the durga. do they sit the same height of the ground? would this make a difference if i was jumping as the bottom is morelikely to slap on the durga because it looks lower.

You more than likely won't have problems with chassis slap with either, but the Durga is an endlessly better car.

do they have different suspension. it sounds stupid but the dfo3 looks higher. does this matter compared to the durga which looks like iy sits lower?
