Default DF03RA Drivers

I have received my DF03RA last week and had it builded over the weekend. i start a thread here for all to share some insights on the chassis.

to start the ball will my limited experiences with it.
I have not run my DF03RA yet, but i found that the stock tamiya rims seems to be having abit of an issue. seems like the interior support of the wheels have a tendency to rub on the front supension arms. I have added the wheel spacers, but still not very convinced that it works. Mine's the DF03RA celica kit.

This looks like a great kit. And seemed well balanced too. U planning to rally with this? I bought one sometime back but haven built it up yet.

hmmm, i think you can just get alu suspensions arms, turnknuckles, Universal shafts and longer dampers and convert the DF03RA back to a buggy for off-road.
tempted to get a DF03, then i can share common spares

I'm very tempted to get one of these kits, as I really dig rally cars.
Just curious, those provided rally block tyres will wear out fast on concrete surfaces (ie: carparks, pavements) ?

I reckon the rally blocks would wear fast on concrete or tarmac. Unless ur running very low powered motors dat wouldn't cos wheel spinning. But I think a replacement set of tires would costs $20++? So still resonably even if really wanna bash it ard. I've a new in box kit for sale if ur keen. Check the link:
