Tamiya 1: 10 Radio Control Sand Viper 2WD Buggy DT 300058374 02

Product Information

its probably easier to build than the hornet, much tougher, will handle brushless power, bigger battery tray and parts are pennies for it. Enjoy. The DT-02 is a great chassis for the money - my 9-year old son and I have had lots and lots of fun with it! A total of 14 ball bearings and metal parts of drive shaft and joint cup provides consistent and efficient power transmission. I guess I wanted the LiPo to get the most speed and power out of the thing , but again it's one of those things that I can upgrade down the line I suppose? I would also question the usefulness of a ball diff. I find them fiddly to set, and once you have it at the desired setting, it tends to wonder by itself. These days I run a gear diff filled with a suitable amount of grease, which maintains its settings and requires minimal fiddling.

as for lipo, 5000mah and minimum of 30c constant will be perfect and give well over 30 mins of running, if your buying from modelsport, phone them, for a couple of quid they will solder on a chosen connector so no worries about which one matches the battery, (also need the same for the charger.... With so many different perspectives it can be hard to know where to start - a little like walking into a crowded pub. Sorry about that. Just buy a set of bearings, they are cheap and are the most essential thing you can add to any car that has bushings. Your car will be faster, smoother and the drive train will have much less rolling resistance. The DT02 requires the following amount of bearings But so far we've not found a way to streamline our review output - there's basically too much of it. So, rather than dilute things for newcomers we have decided to live with the hubbub while helping new readers find the columnists they will enjoy. Admittedly you could buy a better model for the same outlay second hand, but there other things to consider here like the price of replacement parts to repair it when you first recieve it (most of us have bought a second hand dud or two), and that 'better' models usually have more expensive parts to keep it running (or for when it breaks from doing crazy big jumps).

With the diff half full it is quite stiff, allowing you to put the power down, and keep it down even if a wheel lifts of the ground. You can make it stiffer or looser by just adding more or less oil. I preferred the feel of the diff when it was just under half full of the oil.

There is no obvious way to do this with the base kit, so I initially thought I was wasting my time, then I had a little bit of lateral thinking and thought about swapping the front lower arms. Our columnists each focus on a particular perspective and fall into one of the following types of gamers: We want to ensure a smooth delivery experience for you, and here are some key details to keep in mind about our service.

Shocks

The TEU-101BK forwards and reverse Electronic Speed Control should be suitable for those who want to move to a brushless motor set-up, something that will squeeze a bit more power from the car as well as reduce maintenance. Time and difficulty to build on the description is says there are plastic bushings in the product specifications, however in the description in the top it says full ball bearings. Does anyone know which is accurate? The DT02 chassis cars are very popular worldwide, and they are used in the Tamiya Fighter cup series, its very popular in many countries, unfortunately there are no official Tamiya Races in the UK so this series is not ran here. However you will need to file a little bit at the rear of the chassis to ensure that the suspension shaft doesn't rub against the main chassis tub.

Required for completion; 2 Channel Radio System, 1 Servo, Battery and Charger, Polycarbonate Paint for the Body, Tools for assembly. So within a few minutes I had swapped the arms around giving me a 12mm longer wheelbase. The effect of this also means that there is more weight over the rear of the car, ensuring that it will be less keen to over-steer. Board Games | Domestic | Eclectic | Family | Fitness | Junior | Reluctant | Returning | Teaching | TeenNice and easy. Take the long shaft and replace the screw pin. You do not need to shim the shaft end as it fits perfectly and there is no binding. Then do the same for the other side. Its stylish body and large rear wing are made from durable polycarbonate, and the design of the dish wheels is both eye-catching and practical. The Tamiya Sand Viper boasts a sleek and stylish body crafted from durable and lightweight polycarbonate. Its eye-catching yellow paint scheme perfectly complements the gray-colored dish wheels, giving it a striking appearance. I did not use the box art for my Sand-Viper, as you can see in the picture above. The grooved front tires and rear spike tires are designed to deliver outstanding traction on any terrain, ensuring you can conquer every challenge with confidence. I have to strongly disagree with Percy (sorry mate). The DT-02 chassis is one of the toughest, most adaptable and fun chassis on the market right now, especially considering the cost. I own a Traxxas Slash and Rustler, a Hornet, and an Associated RC10 gold pan and B2. I've also, in the past, owned a DF02 and DF03, and out of them ALL, I enjoy my DT02 chassis the most for bashing and fun running. While the DT-02 is a much better performer than the Hornet, both chassis are my favorites because they have a certain character that can't be explained. I can't say the same for the Traxxas stuff or even the Associated buggies. First post here, so hello! I'm completely new to the world of RC bar having a few pre-built standard RC cars when I was a kid.
