I thought I'd have a go at building a speed run car and bits and pieces have started to arrive.
Now waiting on the main care package with the kit and hop ups.

My immediate thoughts were, yes definitely. But then scrolled down and thought I get nowhere near 47 bullet points!
I just procrastinate too much. Current "problem" is whether to do the Avante Black box art or not.........

Nice job @Keracticus Pots, I like that you used CF bits.
CF always looks good!
In started as a cheap build but then...... Well, we all know the story it's a £200+ "cheap" buggy after adding 3 cans of paint, MCI decals, different wheels and CF bits.

Love it. Once of the best colour schemes I've seen on a buggy.
How did you mount the driver?
Thanks.
The driver is just mounted on double-sided tape. The driver is not flat bottomed so I'm not sure this is going to last - we'll see!
The ESC is quite large so I had to move the receiver. This has resulted in the antenna wire laying horizontally which is not ideal.

Some shots of my recently completed DT-03.
I decided I needed a cheap modern buggy to compliment my SRB - You can always find a reason.
I started with a Neo Fighter Buggy Brushless Combo from Tamico, this came complete with CVAs, bearings and a Robitronic Brushless motor and ESC. A few extras were added:-
- 54628 & 54629 Steel pinions
- 54560 Lightweight transmission shafts
- 54566 Gearbox bridge
- 54816 Reinforced M parts
- 54562 Front carbon damper tower
- 54563 Rear carbon damper tower
- 53832 Spring Set
- 10448047 Racing Fighter front wheels
- 10448048 Racing Fighter rear wheels
- 53084 Spike rear tyres
- 54896 Rib/spike front tyres
- 10225033 Driver
Inspired by these DT-03s https://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=127897&id=43050 & https://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=127728&id=43050 built by @Truck NorrisI decided I was going to try something similar but based on the rough rider. Some paint and reduced size MCI decals and I was on my way. The Neo Fight Buggy body is not really suitable for a direct copy of the Rough Rider paint scheme and there was no wing on the Rough Rider . The body ended up with a simplified version of the Rough Rider orange and white. The wing is influenced by the TD2/TD4 Astute/Avante. For me, I liked the symmetry of a nod to Tamya's oldest and newest buggys. Anyway, enough waffling on - here's the shots.

Tamico box of goodies arrived today.
DT-03 bundle with bearings and a brushless combo - a bargain. A few hop ups, servo, wheels and a driver.
CVAs for my nearly complete 911 RSR and a servo saver for my Rustler.

Finally finished the stickers on my 911 RSR.
I just need to finish the wheels and build the CVAs that arrived today then it's done......
I've got a rally interior but I think after painting the wheels I'm taking a rest from painting for a bit. Anyway, I think I over did the smoke on the windows to really appreciate an interior.

The first polycarbonate body I've painted in 18 years and I'm pretty pleased with it. Now to attack the stickers.

That looks great, a very well finished body.
Is it this Team Blue Groove body for the m chassis https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TBG-P-TYPE-959-BODY-NEW-V3-fits-tamiya-m03-m-03-m05-m-03/153187238757?hash=item23aaabc365:g:SygAAMXQ9rVQ6RX1 with MCI decals?

It may not be the fastest time on the board, but I gotta give you credit for the fastest video yet. Right to the point in 16 seconds!
I'll see if I can get a shot of the silver can, GPS, do the run and another shot of the GPS in 15 seconds.

@Keracticus Pots welcome to the club... nice ruins.. short and sweet love it ;p
Thank you. And how perceptive, the Focus is a bit of a ruin! I'll get a shot of the body on the next run.
Thank you for managing this thread. It gave me hours of fun looking at all the set ups and videos and was inspiration to dig out the old GPS.

One for the Non-Tamiya list.
Associated RC18T
Mamba 25 ESC
Mamba CM2068 6800Kv
GensAce 7.4V 1550mAh 25C
Max Speed 40.0 kmh / 24.9 mph
I can't remember the gearing, only that when I put it together I wasn't interested in top speed, so it has a pretty small pinion/large spur.

Tamiya Ford Focus TL-01
Futaba MC230CR ESC
Silver Can
Floureon 7.2V NiMh 3500mAh
Standard Gears, 19T Pinion
Top Speed 25.8 kmh /16.0 mph
I realised I didn't film the motor to prove it's a silver can, so it probably needs to go in the 4 wheel drive section.

Just worked for me - but it is a 1 use code per ebay account.
Wish I'd put more in the basket now...
Wish I'd read this before I'd put more in my basket.
Less haste more speed. Doh!

Ok, so the big box of stuff arrived today for my speed run build.
Also in the box were a new party frock and shoes for my Avante Black.
