Hi there Mikael, a great building video of the DT-03. Best wishes 😊😊😊

[@NordicRC]

Thanks a lot for the nice comment, bro!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I’ve thought about one of the Xsa kits but I love the building part

[@NordicRC]

Yeah, me too. I previously built two DF-03’s. Great build experience.

[@islandrc-duke1972]

Great build and awesome RC

[@NordicRC]

Thanks Duke!

[@RCBirds]

Awesome building video

[@NordicRC]

Thank you, my mate!

[@WillyBike]

Nice first car ✌🏻

[@NordicRC]

Definitely a good choice!

[@NoNo-ee2kb]

What steering servo do you recommend?

[@muddfoot69]

Does other bodies like the astute body fit this car.?

[@Nlangkirby135]

Seems good, except for those dang ol' bushings. Do you plan on replacing theme with ball bearings?

[@NordicRC]

Hi Nick! Yeah, I even plan to do a video with it (will perhaps be helpful to the youngsters/beginners). With the DT buggies I usually also change out the alloy pinion gear before it messes everything up 😀

[@andreasu.3546]

Wonder whether putting together Tamiya kits in factory for a living equates to heaven or hell.

[@NordicRC]

Work hours and payment in the Philippines is probably more Hell than Heaven ...

[@BasBoyRC]

Yuck plastic bushings, but like where they make the manual for direct set-up. I do find it funny they add oil shocks and you do the bearings.

[@NordicRC]

Ha ha, yeah, Tamiya works in mysterious ways ☺️ Wonder if there will ever come a time where they use ball bearings in all kits/cars. I hope so.

[@BasBoyRC]

@@NordicRC The thing is they could buy in bulk and put them in as they will get them cheap. When I started bearings were very expensive, only started using once they were down in price.

[@NordicRC]

@@BasBoyRC Yeah, even most Chinese ‘cheap brands’ use bearings these days.

[@bradkalman2353]

When you going to do Nordic visions again need to hear you?

[@NordicRC]

Uhh, thanks! But so little time since no. 3 child arrived so I keep postponing it

[@bradkalman2353]

I get to keep the motor stock or you can go into something else? just bought those tools are.

[@NordicRC]

Yeah, bearings and a steel pinion and you’re good to go with other motors

[@ktu831112]

S3003 😁

[@NordicRC]

GoolRC and S3003: on a budget ☺️

[@bradkalman2353]

Doesn't it come with a full manual to undo the whole kit?

[@NordicRC]

Yeah, shown in the video.

[@bradkalman2353]

This isn't the new almost ready to runs is it? That's an old ESC so this kit is old?

[@NordicRC]

Yes, it’s an artr… or in Tamiya-words: an X-SA. I was wondering about the old TEU too included here. Maybe they had some leftovers 😅

[@bradkalman2353]

Those are oil-filled dampers right?

[@NordicRC]

Yep!

[@SpeccyMan]

It amuses me that Tamiya call these expert builds when they don't use metal bearings. All "expert" hobbyists know the first thing you do is chuck away the bushings and install proper bearings. Hilarious. 🤣 They almost have the right idea. I love building these kits but I really do not like the painting and decal part at all. So for me the best thing would be a disassembled normal kit but with pre-painted and decaled body and spoiler. Then I would be very happy indeed.

[@NordicRC]

Yeah! Agree! I think the real expert things about the XB and X-SA are the bodies (at least the polycarbonate). Perfect paint and decal jobs 😊

[@chrishorrobin3073]

Not complete build an crap electronics
