padrc66 10 Posted June 10, 2014 hi, my 1st post so please be gentle loved the look of the RSR but not impressed by the TT02 chassis so on a recent trip to china picked up a DF03RA and noticed that the RSR body was a 251mm wheelbase so would fit on the DF03 in short wheelbase form. also seemed a bit more practical for running around outside the house, etc. what do you think? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dutch_rc 71 Posted June 10, 2014 I second that. Nice combo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawdog 23 Posted June 10, 2014 I like it! One piece of advice, though: get the body for the DF-03 buggy as an undertray/cover if you're going to run it offroad at all. Otherwise, it will fill up like a sandbox. [edit] I see the other body posts now with pins...looks like you're ahead of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shodog 1834 Posted June 10, 2014 A set of Rally block tires and a dremel to smooth out those wheel archs would make that car look great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
padrc66 10 Posted June 10, 2014 thank you for the nice comments. I know what you mean about the wheel arches, do you just use a sanding drum on the Dremel or something else? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XV Pilot 1936 Posted June 10, 2014 I like to use a fibre polishing wheel rather than a sanding drum for lexan shells. It removes material more slowly, allowing for greater control and a neater end result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
padrc66 10 Posted June 11, 2014 ok thanks, I'll give it a try Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JYCM3 236 Posted June 11, 2014 Very cool! You can turn into Rothsmans 911 rally that was famous in the 80's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vrdetailing 1241 Posted June 12, 2014 I just use a half round file on mine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vrooom666 31 Posted June 12, 2014 Who makes that body? that body look accurate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shodog 1834 Posted June 12, 2014 For wheel archs I use a coarse sanding drum with the speed on the dremel turned way down. This gives you control but the power to take off material where you need to. My vote is for a Rothmans rally car. Btw Vroom this is a Tamiya body. The car was released around last November. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shodog 1834 Posted June 12, 2014 Or the Martini one... If you're going to go this way, I'd much prefer the silver painted livery of the stock RSR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dutch_rc 71 Posted June 12, 2014 I use a rounded file like Vrdetailing and some folded or rolled up sand paper as a last step to get neat edges on lexan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vrooom666 31 Posted June 12, 2014 very nice! I am tempted to do DT02/03 with that body/wheels on. so it would handle like real Porsche. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
