If you like to tinker, mod, tweak, and wrench as much as you enjoy driving, then I highly recommend picking one up. The DMG kits are different and take some effort to build and tune. The servo and tire swap seem to make the biggest difference. All of them have upgraded servos, Vanquish rear axles, and swapped tires to Hyrax or U4s with CI foams. I'm sure after owning one for an extended time it won't seem as bad to work on them. They are fun to drive but working on them is a PITA. I have a few friends that have Rock Reys and they've let me put a few batteries through them. It's possible to get that under control with shock tuning, sway bar, etc, but it I can never seem to get it perfected. The B1B sufferes from the tail kick much like the Yeti does. With an open front, it's very stable at high speeds. My plan this week is to onvert it into a crawler with a locked front and gearing it down (only locked rear right now with 20 mil in front). The B2B has most of my attention now because it's a blast to drive fast. DMG mod kits are top notch, I highly recommend them.
