## Description

Product Summary: User level: Kit, *requires additional parts/components (requires X4 AA for transmitter)Mode: Off-Road, *2WDScale: 1:10Type: Buggy, *dirt/clayPower: NiMh /NiCd *6-cellRadio req'd: 2 channelsBattery: Not included, *Tamiya/MolexSpeed Controller: includedMotor: included - 540 size, brushedIncludes charger: NoThe Racing Fighter is mounted on the fun and easy to build DT-03 chassis platform. Intended as an easy-to-get-started model to encourage young drivers to enter the world of R/C, its intuitive yet tough design allows hassle-free assembly and gives less experienced users the opportunity to get to grips with R/C model composition and construction. This kit features a brand new polycarbonate body design with attractive, boxy lines and a stylish rear wing. This kit includes an added bonus! It features a torque-tuned motor and CVA oil dampers to make it faster out of the box. The CVA oil dampers allow the chassis to better handle the rugged terrain of any park or dirt field. DT-03 Chassis at a glance: The stylish slim-line form of this chassis stems from its light weight yet durable monocoque frame, which features a longitudinally-positioned battery and the R/C equipment along the centerline for excellent balance. The combination of a long 287mm wheelbase and 4-wheel double wishbone suspension married to CVA oil dampers with long arms, allows the model to handle with stability on poor surfaces. Ribbed front and square spike rear tires provide ample grip, and the rear-positioned gearbox is sealed to protect from dust and dirt, with the built-in differential gear offering smooth cornering.

Review: Fun to build and run, but leaves alot to be had... - Great kit, had alot of fun building it! The oil shocks do have weak springs (out of the box the car sags a little), but I plan on upgrading those anyways. The kit also comes with plastic bearings throughout so def pic up a set of 5x11x4mm bearings (10 pack like $13 on desertcart). Other than that, one of the better kits I've put together in a while. The plastic parts are really thick and look to be really durable so time will tell. The gearbox has thick plastic gears (.08 mod) that look like they can handle brushless power all day! For what its worth, this kit is great value for money. Will update after some more use! *UPDATE- The oil shocks that come with the kit are not great. The springs are soft and the shock oil is light so the chassis bottoms out on everything! I already have to buy a rear skid plate because of that. The esc isn't accomidating either because it only works with tamiya brushless motors or <27t brushed motors (no fast brushed motors with this thing). Then the motor mount only has 2 adjustments for a 17 and 19 tooth pinion, with no adjustable mount even an option! This kit has potential to be amazing, but its almost like Tamiya is limiting it so it can't compete with there more expensive models. Its still fun, but in stock form it just feels held back.
Review: Awesome kit for beginner! Fun build experience for my 10yr old. - Super fun and easy to build for my 10yr old (with help). Tamiya has very thorough instructions, and the pieces fit very well with only a little bit of dressing on the burrs left from the parts trees. Definitely get a set of bearings from the start and also turnbuckles so you have setup options. This car is quick for a beginner and very smooth and controllable right out of the box. Would I take it to a track, probably not, but to have the build experience is invaluable for a young driver over the RTR stuff. over the first few months, it has had some spectacular crashes and always come out driving. He drives hard, pegs the throttle and like to see it fly over the jumps at the BMX park in town, and this car has not seen the repair bench yet. Great product Tamiya! Would recommend or buy again in a heartbeat!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this kit have oil filled shock..motor and esc?**
A: Our car kit which came with oil shocks and motor.   In addition to the kit we purchased a ball bearing kit (although as I recall that was just to upgrade), remote control, servo, battery and battery charger, along with paint everything else was included.

**Q: how fast is it Km/HR ?**
A: As this is a kit, it depends on whether you use the included motor or install an upgraded one when you assemble it, as well as your battery. A stock motor with a basic 6-cell NiMH battery will get the vehicle up to around 15mph. You can squeeze 20mph out of it with a 2S LiPo or  by installing a cheap 550-sized 6v drill motor (the exact same motor Traxxas sells at a markup as the Titan 12T), and around 25-30mph with a 2S LiPo and a mild brushless system. I would not try to stick huge amounts of power in this car, the drivetrain is plastic so it can't handle extremely high-KV motors without suffering from severe wear and tear and possibly stripping the gears outright.

**Q: Does it come with a battery?**
A: It does not

**Q: Dose this come with the steering servo aswell as tje speed controler and the other elec.**
A: NO it does NOT come with a servo! you must purchase that separately . It DOES come with a ESC and MOTOR which I think is pretty spiffy .

Great car, really fun to build, just wish that it came with transmitter/receiver, paint, servo, and a battery/charger. Love it, and easy to build, great job, Tamiya! *Be sure to order ball bearings. They make the car much faster!* Overall, I think it's worth the money!
