NOW SOLD - Tamiya DT-02 buggy in 'DT-02 Challenge' Race Spec

All the discussion of last years DT02 challenge event heightened my interest in this chassis, so I built one up for myself :D

It's never been run since I built it, and with lots of other cars in my collection, it's not likely to be used anytime soon :(

It started life as a barely used chassis from TC member SVDT02, so it does have a couple of very light scuffs underneath.

The chassis was fully stripped down, and uprated pretty much in line with qatmix RCRacer article , as follows..

  • differential rebuilt with 15000wt silicone diff oil and Associated green slime (no leaks)
  • front wishbones flipped over to increase wheelbase
  • hinge step screws replaced with low friction shafts and e clips
  • front upright and rear hubs step screws replaced with low friction shafts and e clips
  • Tamiya 5.5mm shims used where necessary
  • 30g of weight ballast added at the front
  • Shocks completely rebuilt with all new seals , 35wt oil front, 30wt oil rear
  • adjustable upper camber links
  • new DT02 silver rims
  • new dBoots nanobyte rear tyres and new crossbyte (cut stagger) front tyres
  • new Sand Viper body and wing
  • new Tamiya carbon shock towers at front (including X brace) and rear
  • new Tamiya Sport Tuned motor
  • Tamiya ESC included (need to check whether -101 or -104 or -105) but no radio gear

A great chassis for Tamiya Club fun runs, intro to club racing, general bashing or entry into DT02 Challenge

Will include some new parts sprues if sold via TC forum - will be buggy only if it goes onto eBay so TCmembers get a better deal ;)

New Sand Viper kit is ca £109, this one has £40+ of upgrades , plus spare too !

now sold

Postage to UK via Collect+ courier at addiitonal £8
