e184: Tamiya DT-01 Fighter Buggy RX Memorial Buggy Build, Track Run & Review

[@GrotrianSeiler]

Great video, start to finish! The action footage was a lot of fun. This channel has great content. Cool.

[@ShenRC]

Yes I can see this looks like tamiyas best hopper solid axle chassis they made...looked much more smooth than a hornet for sure! Nice video.

[@tallguygaming409]

It is less bouncy and way easier to control

[@anthonyv2858]

My snow and the ice just melted off the lake, so inspired to get started on a track. Living RC life vicariously through this channel right now! Can’t wait until supply chains get back on track up here. Keep up the solid shows eh! 🇨🇦🤟🏻 Tamiya needs to RE-RE the King Cab next 👌🏼

[@mattiasrc]

Nice action footage and bloopers, looks nice.

[@bradkalman2353]

I also had the original and I loved it it means something to me too.

[@Mr1stlevel]

Gotta Have Me More Of Your Videos Bro Loving it

[@andyrobinsonrc2480]

Good review ! I loved building and running mine, if you put some heat shrink over the steering servo linkage bar or use a small turnbuckle that will take out some of the slop in the steering. I also use different tyres on mine and that gave more positive steering as well. Very cool enjoy

[@tallguygaming409]

Surprised it turned pretty good on track but a set of jconcepts rips up front would make it better but its not my buggy 🤷‍♂️

[@ericwood2790]

Got mine last night , going to work on it today. Good video

[@TheTankRC]

Good build, run and review, well done

[@SANDSCORCHER]

Excellent video Sir😎👍🏻 Love the wall art and cool Ninja too.

[@jdpaslRC]

I have it too! I am surprised that you got it too. I am upgrading Traxxas VXL 3s esc/motor combo for it. I am waiting for 19T pinion gear to arrive this Thursday. Gonna be fun.

[@jeffbrundt7740]

Nice. Got one coming from Tower. It may be basic but it looks great and like a lot of fun. Good review.

[@rixsta911]

Another thing, the body needs a few coats of TS-13 after you have applied the decals, it helps a lot.

[@hobbycollector1392]

Sweet backyard!

[@tallguygaming409]

Thank you

[@jone7940]

Love the bloopers!

[@tallguygaming409]

Yeah me too haha

[@PopalongRC]

Very nice

[@bradkalman2353]

I love the look of it and I special love the color of it.

[@davidr7813]

I was never a fan of the body on this version, but I had a Mad Fighter ( same chassis with a different body) and entered it in a endurance race for fun running against all the top cars of the day, and believe it or not it won the race, because of the light weight chassis batteries lasted long and the tires didn't wear out.

[@steven-vn9ui]

Looks fantastic in that livery. Seems a little nose heavy but I guess that helps with turn in. Nice little buggy IMO

[@paulrobinson9355]

Epic video - mine now on its way! 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@SebastienMongecadet-rq8vq]

Super vidéo merci 😊

[@ggwbrc]

Awesome footage😍

[@skylords2608]

Bought this car purely on how awesome it looks. Good thing its good looking because it runs like a turd. That long wheel base makes it steer about as good as a battle ship. As you mentioned, tons of slop in the front end. I dont see any advantage in the suspension over a Hopper or Hornet, if there is, its not much. Anyway, yes, Tamiya did well with the kit looks wise. Ari, you video editing is really on point, good job! I love how Harry's wife is doing yard work while you guys play 😂.

[@tallguygaming409]

Yeah my wife keeps the yard lookimg great haha

[@tallguygaming409]

As for comparing to hoppers this is better it still hops but not nearly as much. The hoppers hop so much on track its tough to go full throttle without backend moving out of like and makimg you go right into a pipe. This i can go full throttle but yes steering is sloppy

[@marcushaas44]

Great vid mate! 👍 is that a competitors for the grasshopper/ hornet class?

[@tallguygaming409]

Maybe 🤷‍♂️

[@simpleisthebest73]

It's nice to see it running! So, I don't have to build mine. I'll just keep mine new in the box un-built. 😊

[@gumboniggums3784]

But why tho ?

[@simpleisthebest73]

@@gumboniggums3784 I have many Tamiya RC kits new in the box unbuilt. They make me feel everyday is Christmas lol And as long as they are new unbuilt, I’ll be always dreaming building them..

[@madsrcbuggy]

That was really nice and informative, cool video! Makes me want one but I just got so much else going on I'll have to wait and see (hope) it's still available when my finances are ready for it, ha ha!

[@einbahnfreirc1145]

Very good video! Thanky you!

[@rixsta911]

God I found that so funny. Your wife doing the gardening on that little patch cause you have took up the whole fucking garden with a track. 🤣🤣🤣 BTW, that needs mad bull wheels on it. I’ll link you to mine when it’s done 👍

[@tallguygaming409]

Haha theres flowers on the track now

[@mad-beerc3818]

I agree tamiya nailed it (for what it is) and for the money its a decent deal l think!

[@bradkalman2353]

I personally think it's the best handling dto one they ever made.

[@bradkalman2353]

I used to have the original on the white with the yellow rims with red white and blue decals I so want this new one it's so much better looking and it comes with oil filled shocks which the other one didn't I would still get the other one that I had too if they had that out too.

[@bradkalman2353]

I hope you'll race it I erased mine in dirt track oval with some people I was friends with at the time it actually beat some of their losis and associated around the track I run a couple of races around their small track against them.

[@bradkalman2353]

I used to run it in a dirt track oval situation small dirt track oval and I want a couple races with it.

[@mattmclafferty6265]

Cool little thing. Hare Rama!

[@bradkalman2353]

Did you paint the body or did you just leave it alone?

[@bradkalman2353]

Believe it or not even with the friction dampers on the original one it would handle better than my four CVA shocks on my super hornet.

[@bradkalman2353]

Did you put ball bearings in it?

[@tallguygaming409]

Yes he did

[@thegreattreon0177]

Good looking buggy but it's definitely no track terror

[@tallguygaming409]

Nah thats why i canceled my preorder i already have a grasshopper 2 and knew this wasnt going to be a ton better. It is better but not enuff for me to buy it.

[@bradkalman2353]

Why is Harry driving it not you. Lol

[@tallguygaming409]

Im always driving.... cause im better 😎😎😎

[@tallguygaming409]

FIRST SON

[@mattiasrc]

First answer on the first comment..Woohoo what did i win?

[@tallguygaming409]

@@mattiasrc im still waiting for my prize get in line haha

[@semperatis]

The colour scheme looks better than the original I must say Ari. Not the best runner alas.

[@alanmorris8783]

I wonder what this dude had on his wife to allow him to chew up the garden and have race nights for all the boys? I figure it must be pretty big as it looks like she’s a bit of a gardener, so I’m going for one of the following: 1 - Dog fighting 2 - Devil worship 3 - Gnomes in the front garden 4 - Dominatrix 5 - 13 previous husbands who all died in mysterious circumstances

[@tallguygaming409]

Nothing i just have the best wife ever.
