Keracticus Pots 187 Posted June 3, 2022 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. 22 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toyolien 4680 Posted June 3, 2022 Love it. Once of the best colour schemes I've seen on a buggy. How did you mount the driver? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. KP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. KP 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Car looks great running too👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
