Nice! I had the dark impact when it first came out it was a fun buggy for sure!
Yeah people seem to really like them 🤷🏼♂️
Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
Awesome viewing as always Glenn, can't wait to seeing it running!
Thanks Rob, running videos coming soon 🤩👊🏻
Another cool car to the collection.
Like I posted on RC Kicks video, if you're going to run the car you could put some painter's tape on the chassis then cover that with a heavy duty duct tape or aluminum tape to protect it. The painter's tape first will make it all easy to remove.
Top information Mark, thanks for that buddy 😎👊🏻
These DF03 models are well known for eating the aluminium gear on the main shaft very quickly. Made from Tamiya's finest butter just like most of their aluminium gears.
Five Stars used to make hardened steel main shafts which solved the problem. FS7038 for the base shaft, and FS7039 for the slipper clutch main shaft.
Another way to protect the chassis (besides using duct tape that was mentioned by another viewer) is to get a sheet of lexan (I usually use RJ Speed), cut it out to the shape of the chassis, and then attach it to the chassis using duct tape along the sides. If you run on a rough surface or do a lot of jumps, the lexan does a great job protecting the bottom of the car. As for a blue prop shaft, I think GPM makes one that fits the DF03. I think Tamiya used to make one (part #49432), but those are probably hard to find now
Excellent thanks for watching and leaving the comment 🤩👊🏻
I once used something called Santa cruz everslick that's intended for skateboards to aid boardslides,don't know if it's still manufactured though?
I’ve just had a thought to try and keep the scratches at bay. Sticky back plastic underneath cut to shape should give some protection then can just be removed
Just a random idea
Thanks for watching and commenting my friend 😎👊🏻
Hi Glenn, excellent video as always. I've found that pretty much all other Tamiya wheels hit the front knuckles except for its own lol. Trust me I've tried!
Lol 😂. Yeah that sucks for me as I hate using new tyres 🤪👊🏻
Glenn those rims have a great size for Schumacher Mini Spike 2.2 tyres. Give them a try for the track in yellow compound. I'm sure you'll like them. Those Tamiya rims are ever so slightly larger than normal 2.2, hence why other wheels have fitment issues. They aren't 2.4's, they are 2.2, but just a bit odd 2.2's. But try the Schumi tyres, you will like them.
Looks nicer than my DF-03 Avante MKII that's for sure! Looks great in the TRF livery!
Lol yeah that’s not a great looking car 💩
Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends Would not take much to change it over from the avante to the MS. Ball diff, the shocks, and the turn buckles, body and wing! the rest is bling that is covered by the body.
The TRF's do look awesome. Another beauty! 👍
Thanks Mick, yeah that’s 4 of them now lol 😂
@@TAMIYALegends Aha, so that's why I don't have one. You own them all! 🤣
Hey Glenn, after glueing the wheels and tires and if you want to reuse the rims, soak the wheels and tires in acetone. You can cut the majority of rubber off and then just leave the side part which is glued to the rim. Leave the wheels in the acteone for 24 hours (use an sealable lunch box or container with a lid to stop the acetone evaporating (it also smells quite strong). I haven't tried but it apprently works also if you suspend the wheels and tires above the acetone and the fumes do the same thing - ie liquify the tire glue, so you can just peel away the remaining rubber from the rims.
A couple of points if you are going to try this.
1. use gloves and make sure the container you are using is sealed - I use a big lunch box container.
2. once you get the rubber off (whether thats the whole tire or just the pieces left after youve cut the majority of the tire off) rub the remnants of the tire glue off straight away with an old toothbrush and continually dip the toothbrush in acetone as required to remove the rest of the glue if required.
Cheers and good luck at the track!
Excellent information my friend 😎👊🏻
That’s the smelly way of doing it
Just Boil them in water for 10 mins and they will pull straight off the rim
I have a feeling that buggy is going to be epic when you run it . Everything about it is stout, the drivetrain, shocks and even the wheels and tire package. You might want to get an extra set of wheels and tires because I think you’ll want to run this one quite a bit .
You’re absolutely spot on Eric, there’s a couple of running videos soon, it runs lovely 😊
These are wicked to run, I restored one recently and upgraded it heavily. It handles real well, real quick too and my rear diff was in the car 10 yrs before it needed attention and that was with 10.5 brushless. You won't be dissapointed Glen I assure you. Another weak spot is the mounting point for turnbuckles on rear tower, I've broken mine and seen many others broken too. Your better off replacing with an alloy tower, you could use carbon but I've been looking for carbon towers for a year and you just can't find them, and I've looked everywhere I can promise you. But all in all the df03 is my joint fave runner along with my tlr 22.....enjoy Glen, I do!
Different shape too mate
Been waiting for this one, topman! Don't forget to get front diff out drives to replace the rear as slipper and ceramic balls aren't enough to keep diff happy
Thanks for the feedback my friend 😎👊🏻
I found one, shrink wrapped and all=)
Very good. One day I'll get time to strip down my keen hawk.
Excellent 😊
Thanks for watching buddy 😎👊🏻
Put the Volac and transpeed in it bro!. That will look perfect !
Yeah that would look pretty sweet my friend 🤩👊🏻
That's a good looking buggy, can't wait to see it run. I wish someone did trf decals to fit other shells, there's no way I can paint like that. I found some cheap 'hobby go' tires on ebay, they come with wheels but they fit the df03 and trf wheels. Fine for thrashing about on dirt and tarmac. Also, Have you thought about 3M helicopter tape to protect the undertray? I use it on my mtbs and it's really tough.
Thanks for watching and commenting Tony 😎👊🏻
Gorgeous car!
Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
すごいオシャレ有益な映像よく見ていきます
無窮繁栄お祈りします
私たち親しく過ごし
우리 친구해요~😀😀😀
I use chassis skins on all my racing buggies. You can get a sheet and just cut to fit, sticks to the bottom and when it wears just replace it.

Excellent that’s a great idea, thank you 🤩👊🏻
Nice buggy, I built a TRF 211 XM. I'm thinking of going with these colors on the body.
Wow excellent car my friend 🤩
Yes the TRF livery is super sweet 😎👊🏻
Awesome video! I'd really like a Tt02b MS Kit but can't find one anywhere 😥😥😥😥
Yeah they come up now and again Paul, but usually way over priced 😞😞😞
Looks awesome 👌
Thanks buddy 😊😊😊
Great video as always.
I love mine, upgraded the hell out of it. Don't know why tbh, it's just one of those cars that for some reason I don't mind spending money on.
I’ve just had a good look at yours Craig, it’s pretty epic my friend 🤩🤩🤩
@@TAMIYALegends
Thank you
Me too Craig, I love this little car and I've spent way too much on it but I got a real soft spot for it
Glenn, sad to say it's not DT-03MS.. 😆 Great vid as usual 😊
Pmsl 😂
Yep it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t make an error in my videos 🤪👊🏻
Damn I need a white spring set !!!
Yeah there hard to find though, like most Tamiya upgrades 😤
Thanks for watching Rob 🤩👊🏻
Great video👏👍
Thanks as always buddy 😎👊🏻
Great video Glenn still not made my mind up on the df03 had a dark impact with a one way front diff and slipper clutch just couldn't make my mind up on it prefer the dt02 mate keep up the good work mate
I totally agree I think the DT-02 is just awesome 🤩👊🏻
I don’t think you can tell if a diff is too tight just by rotation. It might just be mega smooth . You really need to hold both outdrives in place and try to rotate the gear. It should have very very minimal slip under high force .
I’m been taking advice from a couple of guys that race 🤷🏼♂️
I’m definitely having more success with them now than I did lol 😝
Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
Hi glenn for runner get couple gear set & shock tower for spare part . part are hard to find .
Yeah I’m keeping my eye out for some spares 😎👊🏻
I wish they never stopped the TRF factory Production line😢😢
MattyG
Yeah me too 😞
TAMIYA Legends maybe wish should start one 😂
Plastic hexes!!!! for shame ;) Just kidding you. Love the DF03 as you know. get some proper hexes on that thing!
Michael Derstine
Thanks Michael 😎👊🏻
The pinion on this buggy is 05 mod, same as the Super Astute (2018)
They look like the same as 48 dp but they are not. So only use the 05 mod
I like the DF-03, but that chassis is so small. Not a lot of room there.
Do a graphite prop shaft
I’ve just found a Tamiya blue alloy one here in Canada for 10 dollars 😊😊😊
Try finding one!
Glenn I think you need to get some ff01-3 cars but if you do beware that they all have ball diffs. I had a ff01 I never really had much problems with the ball tips on it I mean sometimes I had those tighten it but it took a while before I had to tighten it.
RC10 originally had a loooong steering rod. They found it was inefficient. We'll see.
Yeah it does seem a odd design 🤔🤷🏼♂️
Works fine on df03, been running one for a while
Neither of those MS buggy kits came with tires, so those different DT-02 tires must have been purchased separately.
Yes that’s correct but those particular tyres on the rear of the DT are actually in the manual 🤷🏼♂️
Do you know where I can get just the body?
Good maybe all your shelf Queens will become drivers. Lol
Tamiya ball diffs always appear to be a problem. Does anyone know why they can't seem to get it right? With other manufacturers, they aren't a problem so why do Tamiya diffs always fail?
I don’t know, but I now check them after every battery lol 😂
It's the rear diff that fails, it has plastic discs that the rings are glued to and if you don't set it correctly the heat build up basically melts the plastic plates. To stop this happening buy a set of front outdrives to put in the rear, they fit perfectly and have a metal disc instead of plastic so stops the melting issue, throw in the ceramic balls and your good to go but get a slipper to protect the drive train when using high power or landing jumps
So in other words like that of the fox witch is like 2wd version of the hot shot the DF03 is a 2wd dark impact. You need to see if you can get your hands on the dn-01.
DF03 is the Dark Impact, both being 4WD, the MS version of it is the special version of it
I wonder if inflatable rc tyres exist?
I bet someone does them 🤔
@@TAMIYALegends I think that rubber thickness could be scaled back along with the compound of the rubber to lighten and provide grip on the rim,would need a lightweight valve like a basketball and balancing:)
I don't know if I recognize the DF03 I thought that would have been a 4wd buggy.
You know you really haven't answered me on a question I gave you a long time agoif you were to say the next 100 vehicles since the first 100 vehicles that they have made would you tell me what you think is the next 100 after the first 100?
Yeah it’s a big job that Brad, very time consuming to get it right 🤔
Sorry I made a mistake that is four wheel drive.
RUBBER CEMENT
Or you could call the first 200. Lol
Nooo shelf queens drive all the time.
Glenn you should look for some TL01 cars because their driveshaft for the 4-wheel drive with solid metal.
You know the one way diff was made for better rotation of rear of the car to cut down on understeer I think.
No faster. Lol
I would like to see how the TZ runs in your cars
The drive here now sounds a little to restrictive.
