Beautiful DT-02! Just found your channel through RC Legends on Facebook. You just can't get enough tamiya/rc related content so I had to subrcribe of course :-) All the best from Norway - Toby
Hi Eric I do suppose there is a similarity to it maybe more the super astute as that had the battery down the middle also if you look at a buggy called the desert gator the body is very similar to an astute ;)
It depends in what context the dark impact is 4WD , the sand viper is 2wd , both buggy’s aren’t a patch on Tamiya’s TRF buggy’s for example , as budget buggy’s you can make them run very well for what they are
@Andy Robinson RC Hi Andy I'm fairly new to the hobby so I'm still learning about the different Tamiya models . Do Tamiya do any off roaders that can handle jumps and some bashing? I value your opinion my friend

Hi Toby , cheers for checking us out, hope you enjoy the content , thanks for liking the DT02 ;)
Reminds me a lot of the original Astute, cool video Andy .

Will the Astute or wiper astute body fit this chassis?
Yep you can get the astute/super astute body to fit the dt02 chassis :)
I have this same car except mine is an orange body and a black wing!
Hi Mxtthed , cheers for checking out my video. It’s a great buggy and with some modifications can punch above its weight for what it is
@@andyrobinsonrc2480 Mine is currently stock.
Isn't the Dark impact the best tamiya off roader?
