I had a doakota 20 for a while. its rather good.

I would 'bag it' in the worst mud as the mud gets under the edge of the screen and when wet seems to confuse the touch screen (its rare)
Also, deffinately pop a safety loop on it to catch it if it pings off. mine did this once and a couple more times onto the loop.

Other than that, reet good
