Use the rear red spring that came with your td2. It’s the same spring as the dt02 Ms just painted red. Tamiya support confirmed this. The front end it really light compared to the dt02 so the red front springs might work better also

[@techtonichobbies_RC]

Hey Glen. I reckon I’ve watched nearly all your videos. I saw your video about feeling a bit unmotivated with the hobby at the moment, and I can relate. I have been in this hobby since I was 12 (I turn 47 on Monday) and in 2022 I opened an RC hobby shop. They say that if you turn your hobby in to your job, you’ll lose the passion for it, and it 100% does. But, I don’t know if this helps, but I absolutely love your breezy and honest videos and how incredibly genuine you are. I love watching you chronicle your hobby activities, and I just wanted to say thank you.

[@TAMIYALegends]

This comment is much appreciated my friend thank you 😊

[@UNCLEBGA]

I am in the same boat. My passion to actually work on them is kinda fading. I honestly didn't touch one last year. I got so many rc's I think I want to liquidate them. Most of them at nitros and 15 years old. All in different stages of disrepair. I find it hard to let go tho. I wish I had the old me back about the hobby.

[@thevectorcave3616]

The Chassis looks really nice considering the price of this car. And I see some throwback to the ORV chassis that the frog used in the mainframe of the chassis 😀👍.

[@Harkeness_RC]

Your right about the car being solid, even though it’s plastic. Mine one I upgraded the shocks and the pinion gear, to a 19tooth, and slapped in a sport tuned, and watch it fly!!!! I put aluminium hpi shocks adjustable in the rear, and just standard Tamiya shocks in the front. For me it’s one of the best 2wd Tamiya car I’ve driven. Handles like a pro!!!

[@fnglert]

So I'm thinking of getting one and giving it a Star Wars X-wing paint job. Like, the body in gray with blue-gray around the cockpit window, dirty yellow and red stripes on the nose and the sides, with red 5 markings on the wing.

[@mad-beerc3818]

Great vid buddy! The DT-03 is a modern day classic like its predecessor the DT-02 tamiya has really produced two great budget friendly and has to be said decent platforms! I was surprised the first time l drove mine in anger! The DT-03 loves a modest Brushless set up and tough little buggy too it can take some rough and tumble that surprised me! Cheers James.

[@rivierarc]

Loved my build. I can see this being the modern day Hornet if you know what I mean... Cheap, easy to build and a real fun drive too. Can't wait to see how this goes forward.

[@rcicons4915]

Awesome video! I have never seen a dt03 chassis get built so very informative.

[@xthumprx]

Good to see you enjoying the build, these are fun cars to drive around. Just so you know, you forgot to install 2 screws when you mounted the rear section to the frame. Should be 2 screws that hold that upper mount section into the main chassis. #24 in the instruction booklet. Also, if you want to install a standard hard case Lipo battery, you would want to remove two pieces of the foams supporting the battery. 😉

[@TAMIYALegends]

Oh sugar thank you I’ll have a look at that 😅

[@richardenglund3075]

Its a really capable cheap car and thats its charm! I put a really hot brushed 8T motor in it and did a speed-run. 72 km/h and it goes like a train!!😉

[@chriswatson9519]

Loved building my dt03 for the price it's a capable entry level 2wd car and of course I hopped it up well thanks for always inspiring even when you hit the wall

[@TheFatController82]

I love my DT03. Loads of fun and pretty fast with the right kit installed.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Looking forward to getting this finished and out for a run 😅

[@TheFatController82]

The gear box is bullet proof (to a point). Week bits are the rear the chassis as that takes the hits. Not broken anything yet. Upgrades. The aluminium servo mount, rear chassis brace and the aluminium battery holder are a must. I've got the aluminium suss mounts but the charbon ones are better.

[@reitplace4765]

I was just looking at a used one of them on auction. If I win it will be my first Tamiya in 20 years.. Enjoyed the vid.. Thanks👍

[@Jaysqualityparts]

They look great flying around! You should definitely keep it as a beater runner for anger management 😂. Great Video Glen.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Anger management lol 😂 Love it 🤣👊🏻

[@adrianharrison5208]

This is going to be a cool build :)

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

These are cool cars. They handle well because of the long wheel base.. I’d love to have one in our collection

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah I’m looking forward to seeing it run 😅

[@davidhiscock1969]

Hi Glen . Literally have one of these to build 😂. 2 of my mates have these so picked one up for a bit of fun

[@robcraighill6315]

Looking forward to seeing what you can do with the DT03 Glenn 👍🏼😎

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks Rob 😎

[@dennisharold8934]

Nice build!

[@bodoelsel]

Great video. Great car. I have 3 of them 😅

[@darrengrimmer8541]

Nice to see you build that.. I’m really enjoying mine.. for the money it’s great little thing.. looking forward to seeing the upgrades you fit👍👍

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks Darren 😅

[@aidenmyers2011]

Love this build have two now one standard and one brushless and hop up parts. Sure your gonna love this build keep up the good videos.

[@TAMIYALegends]

That’s awesome 😎

[@bigpaulrc3531]

Hi Glenn from Yorkshire England nice build not too bothered about the plastic chassis but mite run ok 👍👍👍👍👍

[@TAMIYALegends]

Hey 👋🏻 Yeah looking forward to seeing it run 😅

[@Surferslocker]

I bought 3 of these kits for my school. Year 7s (11 year olds) built it with a little help. They've loved it and learnt so much about electric cars, radio systems and engineering 😊

[@AddamsPlayground]

They are great running and easy to build kits for sure! I have the GT tuned motor in mine and they run great. It is kind of a missile shaped thing that is different from the classic tub style chassis but they are nice and stiff and take a good bit of abuse!

[@prophetate]

Awesome 😊 I’m planning to build one of these and convert to a DT02 so I am very happy to see a build video of it 😊😊❤️ thanks Glenn 😊

[@barrycheesemore2928]

I had a DT03, but I converted it to a DT02 and it was much better. The DT03 understeers a hell of a lot due to the long wheelbase, but the DT02 is much more stable, turns in way better. Anyway, it's still a great starter kit, and I can't wait to see what you do with it!!

[@monkeyzx9]

£64, added bearings and a core 15t motor…job done 👍🏻

[@countmurcielago9802]

Hi you do really well to keep the interest on your channel and motivated about the hobby I’ve got board with the new cars and turned to vintage and concentrating on a Lamborghini cheetah it was the first car I ever got to see running in my street and always thought. “ one day “ now struggling to find tyres and not ridicules prices The vids are always motivating Glen. 😊

[@AntsPlants]

I found that the CVA shocks work really well. Better than any after market shocks that I could fine. I just changed the springs in the rear using the Tamiya spring set. Just ran the red springs in the rear

[@lo2713]

Does look a great build, i may have to get one and experiance it 😁 but will have to wait, to many vintage events to get ready for 😎 looking forward to seeing it getting its hop ups 👍

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks buddy 😅

[@40ollie67]

In the future, a dt02 nissan titan would be cool. I can't find the right words, but want to see what can be done to improve the looks and paint of the truck.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah I hear you it’s not the best looking thing lol 😅

[@IntegraDIY]

Gear box and suspension arms black, with a gray chassis.. seems odd. Back in the day, gray parts meant not kit parts, but Tamiya replacements. The shape is similar to a long banana 🍌 I’m not a fan but I’m sure others really enjoy it. REALLY REALLY can’t wait for your TRF dream build, with all those. Allow parts

[@RCACTIONAUSTRALIA]

It’s a great chassis 😊and the upgrades for it are great. I was surprised how well it drives for a low budget chassis

[@ZombieGamingMetalhead]

I loved building this kit. I just hated that I had to sell it cause at the time I needed money 😢

[@Pablo668]

I have one of these. It goes well, not a bad design, if not exactly orthodox. I reckon decent tires, shocks and a slipper if one can be sourced and I think these would be a decent club racer. Oops! Turnbuckles as well.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent thanks for the ideas 😅

[@houset1794]

I often wonder if these designers and techs see just how far they can push the plastics envelope of design. Such an innovative approach to designing a chassis. Thanks for my morning coffee.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thank you for watching 😎👊🏻

[@traxxasfans]

Hi mate it looks like a nice simple build I noticed they use cross head screws are the the standard Phillips head or are the Japanese screws. I just wish Tamiya would go to hex head screws. I am looking forward to sea how you upgrade it .

[@wayneyates700]

Hi Glenn, I toyed with the idea of buying a DT03 but it's a little bit too plasticy and I couldn't decide between the DT03 or the Genovo lol🤣👍👍

[@bradkalman2353]

I can't believe they ask you to put chassis together first and then the shock towers. Thought the diff would be first.

[@leehurst6922]

Glenn have you forgot the 2 screws which hold the gearbox to the chassis (the ones at the top section which locates in the chassis)?

[@TAMIYALegends]

Haha you’re the 2nd to mention that Lee 🙈

[@leehurst6922]

@@TAMIYALegends 🤣

[@alphawlff]

Looking forward to seeing what you have in mind. I am not sure what I want to do with my DT03T Aqroshot build yet. Thinking of getting Mad Bull wheels for it.

[@LassoKid7777]

So I should buy this car ? I like the fact the suspension is protected by the arm at the front, does it handle well

[@Nlangkirby135]

What motor do you plan on using as an upgrade?

[@bradkalman2353]

I've seen the dt3 run with 3300kv motors.

[@ozboy8144]

Looking forward to seeing what you do with this build. I am building Racing fighter right now was curious. On what the difference is? From yours to mine which. I do know that the price difference was a little higher on the one you're building compared to the one I have. Now the question is do I do box art or kind of my own design pretty fun build so far?.

[@Droidy77]

Styling is the only difference - body, and wheel style, and shock colour, and front tire tread (which can make a noticeable turning difference depending on the surface). My guess is that this one is more expensive only because it has the optional Neo Frog stickers (which are lovely) and the nostalgia factor to go with it. Personally, I think the other racing fighter body is a bit easier to do a custom paint job on. And I wouldn't worry about the tire difference because you can experiment with race tires if you're concerned about performance. There're also a few kit variants that *don't* include the Torque Tuned motor, the CVA shocks or the ESC.

[@bradkalman2353]

The DT 03 and dt02 share the same gearbox.

[@bradkalman2353]

It's a monocoque chassis.
