Looking for a buggy to house my 6000kv (5.5T) brushless motor
Elbowloh replied to LMF5000's topic in General discussions
With the DF03 (for that power) I think the following would be advisable 1) do the rear diff mid e.g.buy a second set of the front diff out-drives (which are metal) to replace the ones in the rear diff (which are mostly plastic). 2) replace the alloy idler gear and resolve with a steel one, this is quite a tricky fix (search for forum for guidance). 3) replace the steel diff balls for tungsten carbide or ceramic. If your just looking for something to mess around with, I think the TT02b would probably suit actually, with bearings, an alloy motor mount, some cva dampers and the alloy prop shaft. Others will have better idea I want other groups would be needed. -
Maybe the meshing isn't quite right?

Finally put these carbon shocks towers on my DB01. -

Had some real trouble with the paint on this one, paint bleeds, bubbling, lack of cohesion to the body, but it's a runner, so not too bothered. -
I put a 251mm Porsche 911 GT3 Cup shell on a TT02 Type S. All it took was a putting on the reversible TRF 418 arms on the rear and it was bang on.

Got my M05v2 for £90 plus postage from buyee. Love it.

Finished the chassis of the TD2, just need to paint the shell. Hop ups include the alloy suspension mount, carbon shock tower, DF03/TT02 dampers and alloy diff nut. I had some blue spacers and a 3x42mm blue alloy turnbuckle for the steering arm in my spares so they were thrown in. Kept the kit springs as I liked the colour, might not be the best performance-wise. Just a Sport Tuned motor for now, as I've never used this motor before, might change to brushless at some point. Paired with a HW1060. Also used my new Christmas gift crimping tool to shorten the servo wires which makes everything look neat. Took a couple of goes to get the hang of them. The kit doesn't come with foam inserts for the wheels/tyres, but it feels like they're needed in the rear at least. The tyres "feel" flat. -
Boooo! That's a shame.

And the TB05r which has been announced was not at Nuremberg?

The more I see, the more I like the DT04. It looks like it's designed to get youngsters into the hobby (nexgen is a clue), with a better performing buggy than say a Hornet or Grasshopper. You can get two for your kids, sticker one blue and the other red and can race against each other. No painting required, even the driver is decals I think? The decal sheet includes numbers up to 9 also which makes it even easier to have a bunch running together for fun racing. Yes, no bearings (apart from the steering) but you get CVAs and better quality plastics than a TT02 in the suspension arms, hubs and composite dogbones. There'll be a racing series in Japan and I wouldn't be surprised if some other places followed suit.

DT04 sneak peek and build vid

I was thinking the same. That looks like it might be the outside?

I've put the carbon shock tower on mine, im still building it so haven't run it yet. The the carbon shock tower packet includes mounts for the rear wing, so the wing ends up being a bit higher than with the kit mounts.

The DT04 looks interesting! I hope they price it properly.
