Tamiya DT-02 Sand Viper w/Extras Lightly Used
PICS TONIGHT
1/10 2WD off-road buggy, NIP ball diff, Futaba S3003 servo, and front pin spikes.
I bought this to try out off-road racing but 2WD buggy isn't big around here and I'm way into on-road so it's gotta go. You can tell by the minimal wear on the original rear tires how little use it has had.
I've run about a half-dozen packs through it, all on a proper track, and it's VERY clean. The bottom has the typical scuffing that it gets after the first run, but there is no structural damage whatsoever. Replacement tubs are like $8 on eBay when the time comes anyway.
It's box stock save for the shock setup. Additional preload spacers, 80-wt oil, and bump stops drastically improved the handling.
It also really needed a ball diff, so I bought one (~$30) but haven't put it in. It's included.
I'll leave the standard Futaba steering servo in there.
A set of Traxxas pin spike front tires will also go with it.
I just took the car completely apart, cleaned everything, and put it back together again.
Kit: $145
Servo: $11
Ball diff: $30
Pin spikes: $8
TOTAL: $194
$100 or trade for Futaba BLS351/BLS451 (or similar) servo or Hyperion AC/DC charger.
