That looked like a blast. I love the 4wd stuff but I think there is something special about a well setup 2wd buggy. I love my TRF201 and one of my favourite bashers is a DT03, mad bull wheels with a 10.5 brushless.
The DT-02 is a great little buggy. The design is very much like a budget Associated B4 for mine. Very similar geometry but not as adjustable or race ready. They are quite planted to drive and are good for what they are. I bought one of these and a DF-03 for my sons many years ago. After not having bought Tamiya buggies for years I was impressed that they came with esc's and bearings. Good vid once again :)
Awesome video! The DT02 looks great out on the track! That's where they are suppose to be!! (Yes I understand the concept on shelf Kings though) Keep up the great work mate!
Hey Glenn that was awesome, by far your best running video to date. You really had it nailed round there towards the end. And as you said that dt02 landed and got round that track so much better than the others. Loved it!
Another great video. And such an amazing track...... I watched this listening to the rain hammering down and heating on as it's so cold....... 30 degrees....... not fair.
Thanks Adam it’s my favourite Tamiya 2wd so far, but the Super Astute, Dynastorm and TRF201 are coming soon, so it might not have that title for long 🤩👊🏻
Awesome Toy an Track. I love how a good shock set goes Flop an gets straight back to business, two wheel drive just cuts loose and shreds! Great show, great still shots too, unreal stuff TL
Awesome video Glenn, love this buggy not least of all because it has my initials on it :) Handled the track well, maybe you need the flangeless wheel nuts on the rear wheels of this one too. Great job mate.
Good morning Glen!! Wow you were really sticking those jumps at the end!! Very much improved! Maybe you are getting used to the track rather than the 2wd buggy being better than 4? JMHO. Either the people were entertained again!! Great videos! Thanks
Yeah I think you’re absolutely spot on Chris, I really hope the people who are interested in the running videos watch it all the way through because as you said you can see a big improvement as the video plays out 😊 Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
Great video!👍👍. I did let out a loud "Ooooooooow" when you flipped it though!😳 I hope its not too scatched. Its a gorgeous looking car, Glen, and im loving the speed. So is this getting retired to be a shelf queen now? It definitely looks the part!!😉👍
The Sand Viper is awesome straight out the box, the MS version is better spec, it’s got the DF03 shocks, blue turnbuckles, limited slip ball diff, uj drive shafts, comes fully ball raced and has the TRF style shell and wing 🤩👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends I know the spec glenn lol the sandviper does come fully ballraced I meant is there much difference between the two when driving them mate
Again a great video Glenn!! It looks like this 2 wheel drive buggy is more balanced than the egress u drove for instant or do u need more speed with the four wheel drive buggy in order to make it balanced more?
Do you have any outdoor dirt race tracks near you? If you get a chance to, do videos of track visits, any type of tracks. This buggy looks like a sweet rig that I'd totally be afraid to drive hard, even though it looks the part of a total race buggy.... do you have any race kits, like TLR/AE/etc?
Great video Glenn, could you put one of the "Thundershot" chassis buggies around this track with the suspension set high, ie high ground clearance and see if it bottoms out on the jumps, maybe use the Terra Scorcher, obviously these buggies are not going to handle anything like the MS or TRF buggies but it should be fun driving and watching a Thundershot chassis buggy in action.
Looks like a lot of fun, you seem a lot more confident over the jumps with this one! What rear tires were you running on the dirt, HD pins or dual blocks Glenn?
Glen have you seen on Ebay theres a guy selling one of these he wants $$1,000 Aussie For it sorry its a DT-03 MS Limited ED so its not like this , im almost going to click on it but for that money im not sure to be honest what do you think ?? but it is brand new in the box and is local to me saying that its in Victoria , or at least i think it is otherwise it will only be interstate and a $20 shipping cost wont be that bad i suppose after coughing up a grand for it so im thinking about it and its been on there for a few weeks now almost was hoping some one else bought it so i could stop seeing it everyday pop up on my ebay home screen hahaha , love this video but now im having second thoughts - gee it runs nice and i have got a nice super stock RZ that i asked you about few weeks back i could stick in it hhhmmmmm thinking ..... ... ...... ...... will see what the bank says lol great video bud as always and love the running ones as much as the builds great stuff Glen Cheers Bud - Go Have a Coldy Now after That Heat out there hey :-)
Well lol 🤓 I also have the DF03 MS, it’s another great car my friend 😎 It’s a lot of money though, but you won’t find a cheap one that’s for sure 🤷🏼♂️. They are limited edition which makes them cool to have, it’s also a very good spec car. All I can tell you is, mine runs great, the videos are coming soon, it’s been to the track too 😎.
I think maybe you need to take the other cars around that track again, you look like you have more confidence now as your driving looked smother but maybe it is just that DT02 is better suited to that track
I have an idea for you Glenn why don't you take all the cars you use and run them on this track and see which channels and goes around the track the fastest you should do this and take multiple videos to do and probably a long time but it be worth it. then you would see which one of all the tomatoes or anything you else that isn't it would do around this track which one is actually the fastest and handles the best.
Yeah it ran great Wade, but I also think my understanding of the track and jumps has obviously got better, so it would be interesting to revisit it again with the same cars in the future 🤔
Glenn nice set up . TRF decal on the buggy is wrong, call it TRD Tamiya racing development. Is nice you can add sway bar on the front. 2wd dirt racing set up balance is very important , get couple shock spring & shock oil . front & rear camber inward a bit for track . tyre you choose good job .
why the same paint job ,i see it on every TAMIYA vid ,i like it but once with same is enough difference to everybody but love doing box art ,ive neve seen any of the new one with box art
I have a quick maybe cheap suggestion on the tyres.. knowing you prefer to keep the originals new unused maybe (if dont want to spend Proline tyre dollars) could check ebay for a cheap set of buggy tyres. Then can save the tamiya ones for the shelf..
Looks really planted. Always enjoyed 2wd vehicles
Yeah I’ve got a string of 2wd Tamiya’s to run soon, looking forward to running them 😎
Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
Wow! That's quite bit quicker than you expected it to be!
I've just had to pause the video and put on a high quality pair of headphones on just to hear the unique accelerating sound of the car
Yeah it does sound pretty good as she goes 🤩👊🏻
I know it's coronavirus time but I like having before this time people gathering to see the car and ask questions I always enjoy that.
That looked like a blast. I love the 4wd stuff but I think there is something special about a well setup 2wd buggy. I love my TRF201 and one of my favourite bashers is a DT03, mad bull wheels with a 10.5 brushless.
Yeah I’m really getting in to them myself Tony, I’ve now got a Super Astute, Dynastorm and TRF201 to build and get them in that little track 😊😊😊

Excellent I’m so glad you watched too the end, as you said I get better the longer the videos runs 😅
Thanks as always for watching my friend 😊👊🏻
😁👍 The DT02 chassis is nice I always have fun bashing mine!
It’s one of the best 2wd cars I’ve driven so far 😊😊😊
That’s a very capable little truck that track looks great wish we had something like that were I live
Thanks buddy I really like it, it’s not really scaled for the 1/10 cars, but it’s the best place I’ve found so far 🤷🏼♂️ Thanks for watching 🤩👊🏻
The most important thing about this hobby is that you have fun doing it .
Another great video.
And such an amazing track...... I watched this listening to the rain hammering down and heating on as it's so cold....... 30 degrees....... not fair.
Yeah I’ll be right there soon myself as the long winter is coming 🥶
Thanks for watching buddy 🤩👊🏻
Looks great on the track! I have the Tamiya 54896 rib spike on the front of mine which are mega.
Excellent yeah I’d imagine you get way better steering with that front tyre 🤩👊🏻
Love the running videos😁
Thanks buddy 😊😊😊
Enjoyed the video👌👌
Thanks as always for watching my friend 😎👊🏻
Nice 😎🎥 The DT02 is a Great Chassis as a runner. Love the TRF Body
Thanks Adam it’s my favourite Tamiya 2wd so far, but the Super Astute, Dynastorm and TRF201 are coming soon, so it might not have that title for long 🤩👊🏻
Awesome Toy an Track.
I love how a good shock set goes Flop an gets straight back to business, two wheel drive just cuts loose and shreds!
Great show, great still shots too, unreal stuff TL
Thanks buddy 😊😊😊
I get the same vibe from this as I did my old Madcap. They move so similarly. Lovely kit is this one.
Thanks my friend, I’ll hopefully have the Madcap there at some point in the future 🤩👊🏻
I've never had a 2wd buggy, but that looks a lot of fun and surprisingly quick.
Thanks buddy this is such a great little car 🤩👊🏻
6:20 => Nice JUMP on the track in the background ! ;_)
That certainly went better than the last car you drove on that track!
Yeah I think a lot of this is me actually improving more than the cars if that makes sense 😂👊🏻
Another great vid, I started out in 2wd and this just may have convinced me to get a current Tamiya 2wd
Excellent 2wd is a different world but it great fun from the 4wd stuff 🤩👊🏻
Awesome video Glenn, love this buggy not least of all because it has my initials on it :) Handled the track well, maybe you need the flangeless wheel nuts on the rear wheels of this one too. Great job mate.
Excellent thanks my friend 🤩👊🏻
Definitely better with the New tyres.
You got a handle on that thing pretty good.
Cool 👍👍the fire dragon is gunna be re Reed
Yeah not happy about that, video out in the next 5 minutes 🤪👊🏻
Love it Glenn! I recently got a 2nd hand DT03 with those dampers aswell, man do they look awesome and perform like a champ. Take care!
Excellent yes there decent shocks and look superb my friend 😎👊🏻
Good morning Glen!! Wow you were really sticking those jumps at the end!! Very much improved! Maybe you are getting used to the track rather than the 2wd buggy being better than 4? JMHO. Either the people were entertained again!! Great videos! Thanks

Yeah one more video to come with it my friend, but it now safe in the cabinet 🤩
Hello Glenn great video the DT02ms is there much difference from the normal DT02 sandviper?
The Sand Viper is awesome straight out the box, the MS version is better spec, it’s got the DF03 shocks, blue turnbuckles, limited slip ball diff, uj drive shafts, comes fully ball raced and has the TRF style shell and wing 🤩👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends I know the spec glenn lol the sandviper does come fully ballraced I meant is there much difference between the two when driving them mate
Again a great video Glenn!!
It looks like this 2 wheel drive buggy is more balanced than the egress u drove for instant or do u need more speed with the four wheel drive buggy in order to make it balanced more?
I think a lot of it is to do with the way I drive them on that little track. I’m getting a better feel for it now which make the cars jump better 😊👊🏻
Try to take a shop broom and sweep the track off. Looks like a lot of fun
Yeah I could of definitely done with one before that run 😂👊🏻
I know this sounds silly and you probably disagree with me but they should make an MS version of the hornet in the grasshopper.
Do you have any outdoor dirt race tracks near you? If you get a chance to, do videos of track visits, any type of tracks.
This buggy looks like a sweet rig that I'd totally be afraid to drive hard, even though it looks the part of a total race buggy.... do you have any race kits, like TLR/AE/etc?
Great bit of kit Glenn! What ESC did you use for this one? Cheers
Great video Glenn, could you put one of the "Thundershot" chassis buggies around this track with the suspension set high, ie high ground clearance and see if it bottoms out on the jumps, maybe use the Terra Scorcher, obviously these buggies are not going to handle anything like the MS or TRF buggies but it should be fun driving and watching a Thundershot chassis buggy in action.
100% Paul, I’m hoping to start my original Thundershot restoration next week, if all goes to plan I’ll have it on the track soon after that 😊😊😊
Looks like a lot of fun, you seem a lot more confident over the jumps with this one! What rear tires were you running on the dirt, HD pins or dual blocks Glenn?
Thanks Rob 😎
I went to the kit dual blocks half way through, they were great much more grip 😊👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends you could see the difference, great stuff
Cool. Hard to find one of these now.
Yeah there becoming very expensive but it is a limited edition that we will definitely not see again 🤷🏼♂️ Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
You know when it comes right down to it they need to make it Ms version of all their chassis ever made.
Yeah as long as they were all limited edition that would be cool 😎
Looks like a baking hot day. Did it reach 24 deg Celsius or something?
Yeah the day I did this we were in the 30’s 😅😅😅
Thanks for watching 😎👊🏻
Do ball diffs make any difference to speed?
Not that I’m aware of, just suppose to give better traction certain surfaces 🤷🏼♂️
May be because the weight distribution was designed for that level of grip and 4WD cars once mid motored are starting to get front heavy.
Yeah you could be spot on 😊👊🏻
I'm wondering how many spectators do you get when you take it here and how many of them ask about it or any of your cars that you've driven here?
The same question every time is, what car is that 😂👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends when you tell them what do they say are they interested in getting one for themselves?
@@bradkalman2353
Tbh the younger ones aren’t interested in Tamiya, they love the modern fast ready to run stuff 🤷🏼♂️
Glen have you seen on Ebay theres a guy selling one of these he wants $$1,000 Aussie For it sorry its a DT-03 MS Limited ED so its not like this , im almost going to click on it but for that money im not sure to be honest what do you think ?? but it is brand new in the box and is local to me saying that its in Victoria , or at least i think it is otherwise it will only be interstate and a $20 shipping cost wont be that bad i suppose after coughing up a grand for it so im thinking about it and its been on there for a few weeks now almost was hoping some one else bought it so i could stop seeing it everyday pop up on my ebay home screen hahaha , love this video but now im having second thoughts - gee it runs nice and i have got a nice super stock RZ that i asked you about few weeks back i could stick in it hhhmmmmm thinking ..... ... ...... ...... will see what the bank says lol great video bud as always and love the running ones as much as the builds great stuff Glen Cheers Bud - Go Have a Coldy Now after That Heat out there hey :-)
Well lol 🤓

Again to go back to what I said before I'm even including the hornet the grasshopper and all the live axle cars.
What motor is that DT-02 running?
Tamiya BZ Super Stock on 2s Lipo 😊👊🏻
TT02B up next on the track?
DF03MS is the next track video 😊👊🏻
What motor do you have in it? Is it the rz or tz motors?
I think maybe you need to take the other cars around that track again, you look like you have more confidence now as your driving looked smother but maybe it is just that DT02 is better suited to that track
No your absolutely spot on Adrian, I could now get all the cars around there better than the first time round, including the Avante 🤪👊🏻
I have an idea for you Glenn why don't you take all the cars you use and run them on this track and see which channels and goes around the track the fastest you should do this and take multiple videos to do and probably a long time but it be worth it. then you would see which one of all the tomatoes or anything you else that isn't it would do around this track which one is actually the fastest and handles the best.
This looks to be the fastest car you’ve had go around this track once you got used to it - maybe it doesn’t oversteer as much as the 4wd’s??
Yeah it ran great Wade, but I also think my understanding of the track and jumps has obviously got better, so it would be interesting to revisit it again with the same cars in the future 🤔
What’s with the man with stroke? Why we love stroking so much lol
Lol I don’t know what you mean buddy 😂???
Don't you think they should make a dt01ms and a dt03ms?
Yeah I feel that is gone now Brad, I think it would of been done by now ☹️🤷🏼♂️
@@TAMIYALegends what do you mean you think it's gone now they're still making DT 03s and dt01s.
@@bradkalman2353
Yeah but it’s at the end, I feel the MS version come out near the beginning 🤷🏼♂️
Glenn nice set up . TRF decal on the buggy is wrong, call it TRD Tamiya racing development. Is nice you can add sway bar on the front. 2wd dirt racing set up balance is very important , get couple shock spring & shock oil . front & rear camber inward a bit for track . tyre you choose good job .

Watch at *2 speed for ultimate performance ;-)
Haha love it 😂👊🏻
why the same paint job ,i see it on every TAMIYA vid ,i like it but once with same is enough difference to everybody but love doing box art ,ive neve seen any of the new one with box art
It is box art Lee, it’s not actually paint, that’s the decals it comes with on the MS version, same with the DF03 MS 🤷🏼♂️
Glenn had a limited spliff during the shot.
🤣🤣🤣
I have a quick maybe cheap suggestion on the tyres.. knowing you prefer to keep the originals new unused maybe (if dont want to spend Proline tyre dollars) could check ebay for a cheap set of buggy tyres. Then can save the tamiya ones for the shelf..
Yeah I really should invest in a couple of sets of cheap wheels and tyres 😬😬😬
