thats quite an awesome little car there, I do love those 049 powered cars

sooo...it took them several months of meetings, sales projections, design.....to put a body on a DT02

nice, tamiya.

looks like an ultima of some sort, with a fair amount of custom parts.

....my wife gets this line from me every few weeks now. might have to come up with something new soon

another one is -

"wow! this is really rare, ive only seen one for sale in the last few years"

look like Tamiya Cheetah tyres in the top pics

ok, well the mugen might be the winner then, as an MRX-4 only goes for $150 on auction, will try to win one with a few spares

dont get me started on historic bodies...if i could find a 312PB or porsche 936 in 1/8th i'd freak....im still hunting down a tyrrell 77' P34/2 non-reissue tamiya

didnt seem to attach these pics -

love the custom chassis on this...pity I have forgotton where I found these pictures

Eau rouge - Mugen / Kyosho parts are readily available where I am (japan) Montonica is rare, and serpent...not really sure. i can find them, so probably fine to source parts.

nah, the buggies arent for me, there is somthing special about the road chassis. a lot of guys are doing 1/8th buggy conversions, or whacking some highpowered brushless in a revo or somthing, I want something different :) attached are some examples, note the battery, gearing, and braking differences...

the chassis is the question

after a bit of searching, ive found secondhand serpent 960's arent too bad, and the 966E upgrade kit is $200USD, so not bad. the only problem is im not sure of the battery compartment size, as I would want to use 5S - 6S / 4000/5000mah packs

anyone know of any highspeed bodies? if I cant find anything im thinking of this protoform - http://prolineracing.com/touring-car-200mm/tcc-clear-body/

hey guys, ive been interested in building a 1/8th onroad for some time, and finally have some time to do it, so a question to the forum - which platform would you start with? I was thnking a Mugen MRX-3/4 or Evolva M3/2005 ...namely because of spare part availibilty, the Serpent 960 looks good, but ...

yeah im pretty happy with it, will strip it down, get a new body and some capped tires. would love to get the body painted up in the tide scheme...but im quite a fan of clear lexan to show the nakedness

is currently setup for highspeed runs...but I dont know exactly what it is...any thoughts?

That better not be what they plan on releasing! *Pukes in mouth* http://tamiyablog.com/2010/06/tamiya-58470-110-rc-assembly-kit-of-the-special-edition-holiday-buggy-dt-02/ I hate this. they just put the body on a new chassis. they messed up the tyrrell p34 the same way. im really disliking this &qu...

7800 yen

7800 yen Japanese is like $85, that seems too cheap.

the frog is 6800 - 7500y here. so 7800 is probably spot on.
