Tamiya buggies

[Mel279]

hi guys

Im in need of help in selecting one of the tamiya's buggy, and Im new to this kind of hobby.

My list selection of tamiya buggies are:

1. Tamiya Baldre db01
2. Tamiya Durga db01
3. Tamiya Plasma edge df02
4. Tamiya Gravel hound df02

Among the four, which ONE would have the best performance and also easy maintenance?

The reply i got from another forum

'For 4wd, you won't go wrong with the DB01'

[Mel279]

Yes, I also like db01, but the thing that Im curious is to why there are two db01
1. Tamiya Baldre db01
2. Tamiya Durga db01

whats the difference?

A friend of mine suggest to get the tamiya 501xb, but its too expensive and I don't like the saddle battery tray.

I guess its just the different shell

is it?even the price is also different, hmm...Im thinking also getting zx5, because I want to use an outrunner motor and db01 doesn't seem to fit. Have tried on my brother's truggy with 4s 2200mah, the torque is so powerful and runtime is much longer than inrunner because it uses less amp.

Both around the same also, vintage buggy looks good, for casual runs while i think 10B is competitive kind

If u prefer for race,go for 10B or zx5 like mine...just don't burden yourself....whats important is to have fun and enjoy playing it
