Nice video. With the DF03 Replace the rear diff joints that are (half plastic & half steel) with all steel Diff Joints like the front diff has MJ1 & MJ2 Diff Joints P/N: (9808059). Have a look at the front diff for comparison & make the rear the same as the front diff, with some upgrade diff balls, Tamiya Tungsten-Carbide diff ball set P/N: 53124.
If you can find the slipper clutch set, that would be a bonus. Cheers

Great information buddy 😊

Leons rc hobbys
Thanks Buddy, you’re nice comment is much appreciated 😊👊🏻
Nice video mate, I'm looking forward to seeing your next GPS run.👍
UNBOXING RADIO CONTROL
Thanks man 😊👊🏻
Both cars are beauties! I have a black DF-03 but the white is just gorgeous! thanks for sharing!
The Houleigan
Not a problem my friend, thanks for watching 🤩👊🏻
Man! Surprised so much stuff was inside! Great video and 2 great cars!
Axiomatic RC
Thanks man, I was a little disappointed so much dirt got in 😬😬😬
Cool
WD40 and mothers back to black will restore the plastics. I use that on my snowmobile and dirt-bike plastics. Brings up the colors too.
Thanks for posting, I do like a cup of Tetley and a Glen video in the morning :)
mtbalot
Excellent 🤩👊🏻
Thanks for watching my friend
I'm running the rz in my sand viper. Standard tamiya ESC but with fan kit added. Did the bearing mod on the motor and its flys mate.. Great motor 👍
Mark Greenhalgh
Oh wow not tried mine yet Mark, so you definitely noticed a improvement 😊🚗💨💨💨
Thanks for watching buddy
Team Associated Stealth diff grease is the best :) great vid again :D
Cosmo 1:35
Oh cool I’ll have a look for some 😊 thanks for watching buddy
@@TAMIYALegends Tungsten Carbide diff balls are the better choice i think in this case than ceramic ones. I have the slipper clutch but got the steel diff balls..got to change them.
I've sealed the diffs with a very thin coat of silicone. First I put mold release on the main diff housing and cover (paste wax.will work too) and then a thin layer of silicone RTV. No more dirt and it will come apart cleanly.
Gene
Great information my friend 😊👊🏻
Great vid 👍👍👍👍
David Turner
Top man David 🤩👊🏻
Love the SandViper
Sean Huke
Me too Sean, I’d like to get another at some point to play with 🤩👊🏻
Thanks for watching buddy
I run brush-less in my DF03. No issue with the rear dif. Front is a bit iffy. Going to rebuild it as it is about 7 years old.

Hey Glenn
Try using 3M Rhino, or helicopter tape for the underside of your kits. You can buy it by the metre x 150mm wide. It’s clear, thick and kind of self healing. I discovered it and used it on my mountain bike, to stop cable rub etc. It is perfect for flat surfaces and you just trim it up. I’ll try and find a picture and a link where I got mine from (eBay). You can also use sticky backed foam to make a gasket especially for the spur and pinion cover. Again I’ll find a picture for you and Facebook it to you!👍🤓🇦🇺
I think dust is possibly being drawn through the endcap of the 540,just had a brainwave on scratch protection for the underside a product that's used for skateboards called Santa cruz everslick , it's a slippery adhesive plastic that's very tough but thin! Used it back in the 90s
James Cunliffe
Yeah I think I know the stuff you’re talking about James, I think that could do the job 😊👊🏻
WD40 is pretty good at getting sticky residue off without risking damaging the plastic. Lighter fluid (Zippo type) is better and shouldn’t do any damage, but you should do a test before committing to it.
I just recently built a DT-03, which is a very fun car. My next car will be a TT-02B (Plasma Edge II). I was then debating whether to go for a DF-03 after that, but I am now thinking of going for a TT-02 Ford Mustang instead. It’s a shame because I think the Dark Impact looks amazing.
KingBollock
Great information there thanks 😊
Yes the Dark Impact looks super sweet, but it 100% needs the slipper clutch hop up to run it!
Thanks for watching my friend
I second the the lighter fluid. I keep a bottle on my desk to remove all kinds of stickers and adhesive from kid's laptops and such. Works a charm.
It seems that even with very precisely fitting gear box halves, dirt will always find a way in. So, I've been using silicone sealant (a.k.a. RTV) to seal my RC's gear boxes. I'll apply it very sparingly in order to minimize squeeze-out (don't want it to gum-up the gears) using a small screwdriver like a miniature putty knife until I've formed a continuous bead along one of the mating surfaces. Anyway, it works for me - the dirt stays out. I very much appreciate your videos -- good stuff!!

That’s great information my friend, thanks so much for watching it’s much appreciated 😊👊🏻
I love the Sand Viper, such a great little buggy.
But Glen, steel pinion is the thing when running such a hot motor. The cheese pinion is only ok with the silver can.
aviano72
I know buddy 😞. I really need to invest in some proper pinions 😬
Thanks for watching my friend
@@TAMIYALegends Robinson racing do cheap, good quality steel pinions, modelsport in UK sell RW racing pinions. 32dp for most tamiya re releases for perfect
I do use kitchen silicone to seal up the gearboxes, need to be careful not to put to much onto it. Shelf the DF-03 and use your CAT :).
Schutt Rostig
Excellent 👊🏻
Thanks for watching my friend 😊
Apologies if you already know or use it; lighter fluid is superb for removing decal and tape residue.
al1stare
Yes it’s been said by a few guys already, I had no idea that stuff worked 😊
Thanks for watching
@@TAMIYALegends It really works a treat. I use it to remove old decals from 90's mountain bikes. You just need a squirt (!) on a rag and do it in small parts. It'll come off dead easy. Rinse with water, done.
Great video Glenn. Love watching the tech side as much as the speed and off road runs.
😊👍🏻
Dave Pearce
Excellent, I want to do more detail in the videos, but never sure if it’ll turn people off 😬
Thanks for watching buddy
TAMIYA Legends
I agree with Dave, more videos like this would be ace.
I suppose I am biased because the main reason I started in the hobby (which I am very new to, kind of), is for the building and fiddling.
Isopropyl alcohol with a small amount of elbow grease will take the tape residue right off.
Gene
Thanks for watching Gene 😊👊🏻
You need a pair of the front diff halves to go in the rear, so much better, and why tamiya didn't do this in the 1st place is being me but it's an easy fix
As i said earlier, WD40 disintegrates plastics and soft rubber, like seals. The manufacturer of WD40 can say what ever they want but the truth is it's not good for those materials. Materials can look like they are not affected and it can work few months or years but eventually it destroys tires etc.
I watched something the other day.. when the guy assembled his diffs he used a gasket type sealant.. .. it was white colour stuff.. he just put a thin line around the edges.
As for cleaning sticky off.. WD40.. I saw today on a ryan harris video he had GOOF OFF spray can to remove glue off the tyres when glueing.. I've not seen it in australia but maybe where you are it is available..
Jessica Latex
Excellent thanks for the information I’ll have a look at that stuff 😊👊🏻
I went back thru my history..
Traxxas slash 4x4 rebuild with X0-1 parts... channel is called clodbusted.. about the 11 minute mark
Any chance of doing a how to build vid of the ball diff? I’m building a terra conqueror very soon and never done a ball diff
Chris Stitt
To be honest Chris I don’t have much luck with the ball diffs in the past! I ran them in my Top Force, but was forever having to a just them 😬. I swapped them out for the DF-01 gear diffs and never looked back lol.
Thanks for watching buddy
Great content mate, where you from? You sound Yorkshire, I'm Leeds myself 👍😎
Tom White
I’m from Bradford Tom, but over in Canada as a visitor at the moment 🥶🥶🥶
Thanks for watching buddy
7:32 thats what she said 🤣
Have you tried Goo Gone? It's a citrus thing for removing exactly that kind of awkward goop. I got a bottle and frankly it's brilliant.
RC Crawlers Mid-Wales
Oh cool I’ve never heard of it, but I’ll have a look now 😊
Thanks for watching buddy
TAMIYA Legends I hadn’t either - actually got it for dealing with motorcycle stickers (which are REALLY on there) after hearing several recommendations, and it pretty much just wipes off residue that otherwise is an absolute nightmare. Amazing stuff, I love it.
RC Crawlers Mid-Wales
Well thanks for the heads up 👊🏻
So do you think that the DT series of cars could be tamiyas next vintage new 100 cars?
Brad Kalman
Hmmm 🤔
I don’t think the DT-01 should be, 100% the DT-02 it’s awesome! And I haven’t got hold of a DT-03 yet, so don’t know lol 😂
Thanks for watching Brad 👊🏻
Blimey Glen all that crap in the gearbox!!!. I must admit when I see you running on the dirt it does make my eyes water thinking of the filth being sucked into the nooks and crannies!!!!!!!. Maybe a bit of silicone grease smeared around the covers could help seal things up. Maybe the muck would also get trapped in the grease if it does get in????
Darren Grimmer
Yeah I was really surprised tbh Darren, I’ve not really seen that on other cars, the DF-03 was really bad 😬
Thanks for watching buddy
I had a Sand Viper DT02 and sold it. I’m thinking of building the DT03 Neo Fighter doing a mild brushless. Thoughts?
Jon Thomas
Well I absolutely love the DT-02 in every way, but not had its newer brother yet! Hopefully I’ll get my hands on one soon 😊
Thanks for watching Jon 👊🏻
TAMIYA Legends it seems the DT-02, DT-03 and Top Force have the toughest drivetrains of all Tamiya kits. Do you agree?
Jon Thomas
Yeah I think that’s a fair assessment Jon 👊🏻
Gleen,I got problem with the centre shaft. After assembling,the shaft is loose and the joints kept on loosening
Yusman Jamil
Have you built it from the manual buddy? It’s really difficult to help without seeing it 😬
Yup,I follow the manual step by step
Yusman Jamil
My email is in the about section if you want to send me a few pics buddy?
Got it my friend. I try to recheck again of i miss something.
all things equal the 2WD will be faster in straight line on smooth surface the AWD doesnt come in to its own till your trying to accelerate out of turn on dirt or gravel
Elios0000
Yeah it was a real pleasure to blast around the 2wd again 😊
Thanks for watching buddy
Looks like I'll have to get a Dt-02, that way I can join in, and not have to be yakking about my 1989? kyosho Ultima all the time.
orbitalair
Oh I don’t know, the Ultima is a true classic my friend 🤩👊🏻
Thanks for watching
Just watched the vid. The black I think is the melted plastic 🙈
Lee Hurst
Yeahhhhhhh 😞😞😞
Hello my friend have you got a email that i could ask yoy queations as you are an expert on tamiya?
Its regardibg srtengthening one of my tamiyas
Kind regards
Rich
Richard Looker
Hey Rich
I’m definitely not an expert buddy 😂👊🏻
Email is, glenn.barclay@btinternet.com
@@TAMIYALegends yoy are such a gent thank you i will save your email now.
It may be the alloy idler gear which has gone as these are absolutely terrible. Why on earth tamiya use them is beyond me. They don't even offer a hop up
Lee Hurst
I’d heard the stories before, but I was really surprised how quickly it went 😞
Thanks for watching Lee 👊🏻
Does the dt02 holiday buggy have 2.2 wheels stock?
