This is a great reviewhttp://www.thercracer.com/2014/03/ta...build-and.html


Has anyone got one of these?

I know it is a basic car, but I only want one for racing with friends. They have the DT02 cars and they are great fun. I just wondered if the DT03 is better?

Thank you

They are better than the DT02 as you can hop them up more. They also have the longer wheelbase which is a mod that some DT02 guys make. (DT02 mods in the link)

They also have proper carbon shock towers available etc, unlike the DT02.

Here is a couple of good reads for you.

Tamiya Club DT03 Thread

Modding and tuning a DT02

If it was me, I'd get a Sand Viper so that all of you have the same basic car. The Sand Viper comes with oil shocks and bearings. Add a few more mods and you'd have a nice runner.

I have made a build and review of the DT03 Neo fighter buggy

Thats a great review, very cool. Myself and a friend have now ordered two DT03 so we can race each other

My hobby shop has told me it should be here soon. Will it have bearings in the kit?

You'll need 14 1150 bearings.

This car is a great little buggy, we have started a little class where we all race these with the kit motor (There are 5 of us)

Would it be good to get the roll bars for this car? We are racing on asphalt (although there is a section that has gravel)

Thanks

We are also looking at running a spec class of the DT03 cars for the summer. Has anyone used the hop-ups yet?

I can't answer that, but I bet you could get an answer if you joined Iconic RC on Facebook. There's a large crowd of Tamiya fans, including several DT03 owners.

Right now i'm being busy with getting the car race ready, but first i need to paint the body to get the car finished.
The car will be used by my little girl, who will be driving this car in a junior series at the big final race (a race between the belgian and dutch drivers) of the 2014 season in september.
I will post some pictures ( in the next couple of days) when it's completed.
So stay tuned

Looking forward to seeing these

I have seen this, it has a lot of details on how to make the buggy better for racing.

I've already painted the body, but not sure what to do with the wing.
Propably i will be painting the spoiler the same way i did with the body.
Tomorrow or tuesday i will post some pictures.

Here are some pictures of my little girls DT03
The red painted parts of the body and wing have some glitter, it looks great.

Nice DT03!! I got me one and I want to run it at my local track in the stock class to see how it does. I like Tamiya
