My current favorite chassis.

Looks great!

Yours looks great in blue and white. This is originally what I wanted to do for mine in red and white. I did not want to wait for a kamtech (sp?) from England and decals from Canada. I wanted to do it all from the lower 48 states and bring it in on the cheap. If tamiya would release this as an official kit I would be on it! To me it closer than the Holiday Buggy release.

Repro funco bolink 2 seat by sabulatech on ebay. If you look at the Facebook link above you can see all three bodies I got from Sabulatech. Great vendor!

It runs great! I did the normal stuff to the holiday buggy. Bearings, CVAs, Torque Tuned motor, and various RC10 bodies and tire wheel combos. It might not be an RC10, but it's definitely a solid runner. I might put a hotter motor in it and move the Torque to the Hornet. https://www.facebook.com/groups/420220921354356/permalink/5155394721170262/

Thank you!

I know the the DT-02 Rough Rider has been done and posted here before. I am only recently returned to the hobby after rediscovering my 35 year old Hornet from my racing days as a kid. After restoring the Hornet back to its former race condition, I decided I needed a project and a cheap build. The DT-02 Holiday Buggy did the trick. I read all the complaints and detractors of the "re-release", but I wanted the chassis.. I had no intention of leaving it stock and I already had bearings, shocks, and a motor for it from buying extra and wrong parts for the Hornet. In conversation with some FB group members I found that classic RC10 bodies fit the DT-02 almost like they were mad for it. So I got to work on a few different bodies for it. The final look is what I called the Rough Raider tribute! I love this chassis. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for taking a look!
