DT02 or DT03

[Reubes]

Hi All,

I've decided to slim down my Tamiya collection and as a treat, get myself a buggy for running at local track (astro) practice sessions and possibly at local BMX tracks. I don't have the time to commit to regular races so I got myself a DT02 Sand Viper having considered both the 02 and 03. Having read the info on RCRacer and some build threads here,  I felt the DT02 was the better option and had more upgrades included out of the box (CVAs, bearings, metal drive shafts). However I'm now wondering whether I should have gone for the DT03 as it's newer and may well have a better parts availability in the future and possibly better lipo support? I've also considered the Zahhak but DN-01/TRF201 parts seem harder to come by in the UK.

Overall my goals are goods spares availability, easy maintenance and robustness.

Both are good cars and share most "spares"
