Wow, that was long! I had to watch it in three portions, ha ha!
Lots of good information in there, like you said, it can be a lengthy project upgrading these buggies.
Mine, I got two 03's, they are mostly "upgraded" when something breaks, then I buy better parts, otherwise I ran them how they are born from the kit. I'm learning along the way.
If you want, you can see my Aqroshot, I finally managed to do a video with it, it's still mostly in stock form, I like that one a lot!
Happy Hobbydays, dude!
Ha ha, yeah, way too long this one 😅 I think your approach is wise. Best way to learn which parts needs replacing now or then or which parts might need an upgraded part or reinforcement/mod, is to just go out and have some fun and see what will happen. Cool with the Aqroshot. Will try to remember to watch it when time allows later. Would love that one. Got parts to convert one of my DT-03’s to an Aqroshot (can always change it back later) but as a collector the Aqroshot body is the only one missing in my Vajra and Super Levant body future trio and only one missing in my DT-03 future trio. Happy hobby days, my friend.
My Neo fighter came with a TBLE-02S and a torque tuned motor. Haven't run brushed for many years but I bought a Sport Tuned motor as an upgrade as i thought it was enough on the gravel track. The difference was minor though. 4 km/h higher top speed with about the same acceleration. So just for the hell of it i tried out an Hobbywing 1060 esc i had lying around and that really made a difference. Much better acceleration and another 4 km/h.
I thought the old esc was faulty so i got a new one on warranty, but the result was the same.
In the end i went brushless and li-po as i have done with almost all my cars so now there's no power issue.
So a cheap brand name esc could also be a nice upgrade for the beginner and for brushless upgrade i strongly recommend the Quicrun 3250 or 4000kv system. It's easy to grow in to when your skills get better with the choice of 17 or 19t pinion and 2 or 3s li-po.
Merry Christmas!
Yeah, the 1060 is a good option for these kits. Better for LiPos too since no external alarm is required. I've heard that others too gains a few extra kph with another ESC. So you might be right. I haven't tried the comparison myself though. But good tip. Thanks!
Great video 👍👍👍
I own the DT03 Racing fighter Black Edition ( got new for 99€ and comes with most usefull hop ups / real bargain ) YOU REALLY GIVE THE BEST ADVISED RECOMMENDATIONS also without needing to spend €€€ .
You said all about the tires , motors , servos , also about alloy hop ups not really necessary .
AGAIN, TOP JOB 😉
Thank you, mate! Ahh, the black Racing Fighter is a beauty too. Sounds like a bargain yes.
I've just bought my first RC - a DT-03. These videos were extremely helpful in helping me choose the right radio, batteries and a couple of hop ups (bearings, 19T pinion) - thank you so much! Liked and subscribed. :)
So cool it was helpful! Yeah, bearings and 19T pinion is the best option to start with.
The dt03 buggy is good for beginers I have two of them one with silver can and other one brushless
The motor winds are for triple phase armatures used in the sport tuned so they are perfectly safe with all the tamiya bundled esc's , the specs for esc motor limits are for rebuildable double phase armature motors.
I have ran rebuildable 19t triples with tamiya escs from teu101 to tble04 and have had no issues running hard with 2s lipo on hot summer days .
Just thought it may be worth pointing out.
😘
Yeah, I know, I’ve run a lot of Tamiya ESC’s with 3S and hotter motors. What I was talking about here was the warranty. I’m not worried about breaking it. But others might be 😊
i can fit a 2s 4000mah battery in there after removing the two tabs that sits at the bottom from of the tray. Otherwise you can fit a shorty pack with foam at the front.
Yeah. Seen people remove the battery door and use Velcro too.
i watched this video and didn't even own a dt-03 or any RC car for that matter.... until just now. I'll pick it up at the store tomorrow haha.
Uhh. Congrats! So cool.
I saved your video for Saturday night, full watch, watching and learning , Enjoyed Bro 👊🏻👍🏻
Thank you for watching, my friend! Uhh, yeah, a bit too long for the normal break this one 🤭☺️
@@NordicRC really enjoyed
Great series of video for DT’s fan. I leaned a lot from you about the brushless motor. The brushless motor (3900kv) that I have in my DT-02 does not specified how many turns. But people in FB page keep talking about turns when I that are talking about motor. I was so confused. Thanks again. Keep up the great work, my friend!
Thank you my friend!
I totally don't have a new C-Part tree on the way for my Sand Viper... lol.
I even repurposed a solid tie rod from a Stadium Blitzer to make a brace, but I still cracked the shock mount between the bulkhead and that bottom screw hole. Thankfully though, that addition kept the front end held together, so I was able to limp it home. I tried finding one of those aluminium bulkhead/carbon tower hop ups, but I was met with a whole lot of "discontinued" paired with "not in stock" in my searches.
Uhh, yeah, I think that C-tree is a bestseller from Tamiya 😂😅 Bought it a couple of times myself. And yeah, I actually think all of the 3Racing DT-02 parts are discontinued. I would love to find one of their battery doors (just for the show) but not found it yet.
The dt02 battery door can be raised by placing spacers under the hinge mounts for the battery holder .
Good tip! Thank you ! I will try that
Top nerdy tips mate. I say sod the warranty and hope nothing goes on fire! I did think that this series was more like your Hobby Visions content but maybe you have inspired some more people to have a look over there for extra waffling. Cheers for now :-)
Thank you, Pete. Ha ha, yeah, sod the warranty is my philosophy too when it comes to Tamiya electronics. But I think it’s important in videos to inform when the warranty is broken or not. And yeah, one of many reasons to stop the waffling here. Never really managed to be able to do the videos I wanted to do here, and to differentiate it from the old waffling-forever-style on the other channel. So might as well just go back to the old system 😊 Cheers for now my friend.
Wolf packs are perfect there a Team Associated product.
Good tip! Thanks!
I put lipos in mine I've modified the battery tray abit.
Yeah, on the DT-02? What did you do?
I’m not sure if you have already, but try adding some weight in the front of the 03 it makes a massive improvement in the handling and keeps the front end down under hard acceleration. Cheers
Yeah, the DT-02 could need it too. Thanks, bro.
Great video 👍🤩👍
Thank you ☺️
I have gone trough so many front shock towers with my DT-02, and those 3racing parts are so elusive nowadays as the Loch Ness Monster! Great vid as always, and hopefully will get more ttt’s in the future.
Yeah, it definitely seems those are the ones people break the most of. And yeah, 3Racing DT-02 parts are getting rarer and rarer nowadays, even on the second hand market. And I don’t even think the carbon front towers are a good alternative if one wants to drive it hard. Best option I think is go creative oneself with reinforcements. I know Mark Bryan and Pete Wylie have come up with some creative ideas.
And thank you! Moving all the talking back to my second channel for now on a non-regular basis 🙂
Are you breaking the damper tower or the plastic mount? If it is the tower, I CAD designed and cnc'd two carbon fiber prototype 3.5mm thick towers that are leagues stronger than the stock one. If the demand is high enough (at least 10 or more) I will make more and sell them on ebay. People, let me know.
Please take care and I hope you're able to come back soon!
Ahh, channel will continue as usual. Just not with so much waffling 😅
Love the details, mind me asking what servo you are using that you mentioned in the middle of the video. Ones that ive seen are like 40 euros and 'only' 0.13sec speed and yours is like half of that.
Thank you! It's an Amewi servo (from tamico). Not the greatest quality but so far so good.
I’d look at maybe Schumacher or ballistic buggy tyres so much better than Tamiya tyres, more choice of tyre compounds and tread types they are also cheaper than some of Tamiya tyresss well. They make really good grass tyres , take care
Yeah. Mentioned them in the video. The stock Tamiya rear tires are great on grass and dirt for a hobbyist like me 😊 But thanks for the comment, bro. I’ve seen a lot of people liking the Schumacher tires.
Doing a holiday buggy into a neo sand viper(falcon).....holiday bug yellow wheels ,sand viper shell with neo falcon decals and with original falcon colours (black and red)...should look good next to my original falcon.
Uhh, I can imagine those two will look good together. Would love to try out a neo-falcon body one day. Love the Falcon too although I sold mine. Might get a new one if they re-release it later this year.
@@NordicRC Yep hope so as falcon was my first RC car...
Nice car for one’s first RC! Mine was only a Taiyo 😅
@@NordicRC 😂😂😂
Great video! Came here looking for info on a front axle conversion, to 12mm hex. Has anyone done this, swapping the knuckle, axle and bearings from another model?
Hi Rudy. GPM Racing has made a set of 2 x 12 mm hex with internal bearings conversion for the DT-02/03. Maybe they are still around if you search for it
@@NordicRC Thank you so much, I'll hunt them down!
What can I say?? You’ve the £100 shocks on let alone the carbon?? I can’t find theses parts pls help? I love this car? And you seem to like it?? I love the waffling, crack on m8 waffle away my friend....😎But some product numbers for the ho-ops would make my day....thankyou I’m on my third DT-03 chassis neo fighter model as it handles great n I love swinging the back about 💨
Yeah, those shocks cost more than the kit itself. Crazy. Well, all the GPM Racing & Tamiya parts for the DT-03 should be available everywhere still, but the 3Racing DT-02 hop-ups are all out of production by now I think. Sadly. Ahh, sorry, I can't spend hours and hours of work again writing down numbers in each video. But you can check my other videos with the DT-02/03 buggies. I bet the numbers are there.
@@NordicRC yes thanks 🙏 hope your well? And yes they are on your older DT videos and there’s a lot of dt-03 hop ups still available. I’m gonna put a brushless motor in when it arrives? It was only £24 with the esc and it’s the same one I used in my 144001 so I know it’s ok. Yes some of the parts are as dear as the kit??? 🤷♂️. I need a new body aswell and there £25!!! So I’m looking at a rolling chassis for £60 on E-bay?? I may get it as it gives me another car, it would work out better to spend it now as I’ll only have to get parts in the future as I like my dt-03 and use it a lot. Anyway thankyou I’ll have a look at your older videos, have a good day 👍
I have some more questions for you. It happened to me lately twice while driving offroad, that screws fall out. It's all the vibrations that occur I guess. Should I use threadlock you think? I just don't want the screws to get stuck either. Secondly, I wonder if you can use the 19 T pinion together with the torque tune motor?
Threadlock is bad for the plastic. Only use threadlock metal to metal. Just check the screws before running. They shouldn’t come loose. If they do you have a bad thread in the plastic. Torque Tuned and 19T pinion is a great combo. Preferably a steel pinion if you can find it.
@@NordicRC ok, thanks as per usual!
I use a little foam insert with my shorty 4000 mah pack in my hornet and grasshopper. And it is a hard pack.
You know how I love your waffling. Lol
Yeah, done the same thing with my Hoppers and my DT-02.
Ha ha, thank you 😅
I have a DT02 Sand Viper. I have so much play in the driveshafts! How can I get rid of it? I can move the dogbones left-right back and forth like half a centimeter. I can also spin one rear wheel a little before the other starts moving, if you see what I mean. How can I remedy all this?
Doesn’t necessarily have to be a big problem. The good thing about free-moving dig bones is that they don’t bind when then suspension is flexing. But you can take some of it off, by inserting foam or rubber o-rings (same type you use in the shocks) in the drive cups.
@@NordicRC ok, thanks, I appreciate the answer. Well, funcionality comes first and the car moves alright, both back and forth. That play or slop or whatever it"s called just feels a little annoying when you inspect the car. Like something isn't quite right.
Could you race a dt-03 ? If the local club members are all rubbing b6.3 and laydowns?
Depends on your driving skills … 😉 The DT-03 is an entry-level, no matter how many upgrades it gets (in my opinion)
@@NordicRC what would you say is a mid range buggy 2wd ?
The dto3 has wider a arms than the dto2 right?
They are exactly the same. Only chassis and towers are different.
Need to show upgrades for the dto1.
There are none interesting 🙂 Apart maybe from people making their own.
@@NordicRC well it'd be nice if you did it anyways.
Are you going to use your other channel to do talking again.
Yes 🙂
How much is that alloy front bulkhead on that dto2 in USD?
Don't forget radiolink.
No idea. Too long ago. But probably around 30-40 (including carbon tower). They are out of production now.
Hey Vikings are supposed to have lungs on them so they can not run out of breath because of your past. Lol
😅
@@NordicRC your my favorite dane. Lol
