The Racing Fighter is mounted on the fun and easy to build DT-03 chassis platform.

Intended as an easy-to-get-started model to encourage young drivers to enter the world of R/C, its intuitive yet tough design allows hassle-free assembly and gives less experienced users the opportunity to get to grips with R/C model composition and construction.

This kit features a brand new polycarbonate body design with attractive, boxy lines and a stylish rear wing.

This kit includes an added bonus! It features a torque-tuned motor and CVA oil dampers to make it faster out of the box.

The CVA oil dampers allow the chassis to better handle the rugged terrain of any park or dirt field.





DT-03 Chassis at a glance:

The stylish slim-line form of this chassis stems from its lightweight yet durable monocoque frame, which features a longitudinally-positioned battery and the R/C equipment along the centerline for excellent balance.

The combination of a long 287mm wheelbase and 4-wheel double wishbone suspension married to CVA oil dampers with long arms, allows the model to handle with stability on poor surfaces.

Ribbed front and square spike rear tires provide ample grip, and the rear-positioned gearbox is sealed to protect from dust and dirt, with the built-in differential gear offering smooth cornering.

My first DT-03, it went together in about 6 hours..

Its a bit longer than a DT-02 chassis, and the 2 piece monocoque body is immensly strong and light.
no problems in building the chassis, I ballraced mine from the outset. the steering servo mounted upside down seems a bit extreme, but it seems to work OK! I like the channels for the wires and tie wraps built in, someone at Tamiya has their head screwed on!

Decals are a bit fiddly, a bit on the overkill side, but thats just me I suspect! It makes a nice looking car..

It drives very well, only a quick test on my bit of waste ground opposite my house, it understeers a bit, but then what stock Tamiya doesn't?

I think at the price it is very good value for money...
