What type of R/C car is this?

Desert Gator body - much better at keeping dirt and water out of the chassis than the Super Figther I will agree with SteelRat here. DT02 is a great value basher 2WD buggy. The final drive ratio of the DT02 is the same as the DT01, so the same motor combination will work fine. The double wishbone suspension of the DT02 makes it handle heaps better than the DT01 ever will. There's very little that will go wrong with a DT02 provided you use a steel pinion.
