These days people seems leaning towards the 4WD buggies like DF03 or DB01... They have more option/replacement parts in compare with the DT and the handling is much better on dirt road and such....
My personal preference is the HPI E-Firestorm which is a 2WD but since HPI has put a lot of GP cars technology into the E-Firestorm and makes it extremely tough and lightweight.......
But again, for the best supply on replacement/option parts, go with Tamiya's items.
Hope this can help! Happy RC!
