Tamiya Dual Rider T3-01 Trike

[@carlkeig5640]

That extra details you've done to the forks made a massive difference,TopForce green is a fantastic colour choice,I can't believe how nice its turned out considering this trike probably isn't to everyone's taste, I bet everyone wants one now after seeing yours 👌👊.Great video Glen as usual 🤩🇬🇧

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks for the fantastic comment Carl, very much appreciated my friend 🤩👊🏻

[@douglasv4266]

Yes, I just came here to say exactly the same things :-) I did not want one until seeing this video, but now the Interesting steering, and how much better it looks in green with the forks painted up has me adding it onto my x-mas list.

[@anthonygalvez5400]

2S lipo and sport tuned motor is perfect. After decades of building Tamiya kits, this one makes me feel like a little kid again. I had so much fun playing with this in the parking lot that I actually bought two more batteries so I can run it longer.

[@Bandit-Darville]

Wow, you knocked it out of the park! It looks absolutely amazing.

I love those wee rc’s, they’re definitely the bomb 💣💥🔥, the way they steer is sooooo freaking funny 😄, if they don’t put a smile on yer coupon/face….there’s something wrong with you, lol 😂, you should watch them racing, amazingly comical, these things should have been named comical, even just thinking about them racing, you’d think the driver’s were drunk 🥴, sooooooo funny 😄. Niiiiiiiiiiice video Glen. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧

[@TAMIYALegends]

Haha great comment my friend 🤩👊🏻

[@ddogphacemorcane3198]

The T3-01 is a fun, different chassis to build. Driving it around is a riot if kept in persective. It has a 370 motor so it's not fast. Putting it out in a large open area, it will get lost and dull really quick. In a small, tight area this thing shines. If the surface is smooth and a little slippery the spins and drifting will bring smiles and laughs as it flops side to side turning and scooting about. I run mine on 2S 2280 with a Tamiya TRE-01. Lots of weight down low with the combined ESC/Rx up top makes it very stable. A pack of these running in an area too small for regular 1/10 on-road cars would be an absolute blast.

[@sonofsega816]

Probably my favorite Tamiya color! I have to stop myself from buying it every time I'm at the hobby shop because I have too many kits that color. :)

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah I think this and PS-16 are wonderful colours 🤩👊🏻

[@azfroggiesrcandmore6727]

I love running my dual rider, did mine in anodized purple and black...I use a small 2s from Redcat, had to change the connection on it, but it fits great. It's a blast to drive for sure!

Thanks awesome my friend 🤩👊🏻

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent thanks buddy 😊👊🏻

[@anthonygalvez5400]

You have gone above and beyond with detailing your body. Looks stunning!

[@taimaishu-nao1922]

Nothing but love for PS-17. I painted a Mazda3 body in that color and it’s widely loved for it. Never knew it was THE Top Force green but yeah, it’s REALLY nice! Back it with PS-23 (gunmetal) and you get a much more dynamic color that just pops because the 23 has a bit of blue in it! Anyway, I really wanted to see what these looked like and I have to say that I’m quite impressed in the detail. Funny thing about them is how some parts are designed for the M-chassis but work with these. The battery pin though is interchangeable with the DT-03. I have heard in Japan these are mega popular as a drift chassis and I’d be interested to see how it’d get on.

[@TAMIYALegends]

[@bobsrcadventures2137]

Very cool little trike my friend. That color is spot on! I've looked at this one a few times, but wasn't sure if it was worth the money, but it looks like a fun little build. Thanks for another really cool video, now I have a vintage 1986 Falcon to go open up that a friend sent me! Super excited about it. Have a great day my friend!!

[@TAMIYALegends]

[@canuckchuck8836]

The extra details on your Dual Rider look absolutely incredible! I love the green, black and silver combo. The green especially suits the DR. I just happen to have the same kit waiting to be built in my winter projects stack. I am not going finish it like the box art either but in the theme of an anime character.

[@GarryWiles]

Great video - you’ll love running it. It’s a blast!! I used the same battery that comes in the Losi Mini-T/Bini-B 2.0 -- they fit and work great. That green and silver looks great. Makes me want to add more to mine.

[@jasonsrcstuff9278]

If you enjoyed building it, wait until you drive it. What a laugh!!! This thing makes everyone that sees it smile! It’s so much fun to drive and watch run around. It doesn’t turn as much as it “dodges going straight” if that makes sense.

[@TachyonDriver]

Glenn, I was not a fan of your white and fluorescent coloured Manta Ray, but I have to say that the choice of that metallic green on your Dual Rider (and the detailing!) is outstanding IMO! Far better than box art. Yes, the Dual Rider is better looking than the Dancing Rider, so that's another point we agree on. Looking forward to seeing the running vid as and when, sir! The self-righting mechanism is fascinating too. Cheers!

[@willreardon5116]

Hi Glenn - if you do use the 4aa battery pack - you’ll need an esc that can run on as low as 4.8v, such as the Modelsport UK Trident XT-20. That’s what I’ve got in my Dual Rider and Lunchbox Mini and it runs perfectly on AA rechargeables. Also - a nippy alternative to the 370 sport tuned motor is the LaTrax 370 28t. The Dual Rider is great fun - especially if you can find a nice smooth floor indoors< coz you can then do power slides 😀

Great job, Glenn👏👏👏 The Dual looks much better than the Dancing. For me it's because of this pizza deliever box on the back of the Dancing which ruines the look of a little racer. The technology of both models is awesome. Especially for push-up arms to get it back onto it's wheels. But I'm still not sure to buy one.

Well, if you sort out the battery situation for the trike, you could get yourself a SW-01 mini lunchbox as well, runs on the same batteries. I ordered a couple of LiFe batteries from china for my SW-01, works nicely. The tamiya Li-Fe battery cost more than the SW-01, so I couldnt be bothered with that. Not a bad looking piece of kit that trike, totally out of my intrest range, but luckily we're allowed to have different intrests. :D
