TAMIYA HOLIDAY BUGGY(2010) CONVERTED TO 80'S STYLE WITH NARROWER CHASSIS ｜타미야홀리데이버기 80년대 빈티지룩 컨버전

Tamiya Holiday Buggy is such a great fun car with very modern 'DT-02' chassis, runs great still with it's vintage 80's look body on.
However, there are many people who is not satisfied with it's modern wheel & tires sticking out of the fender. The original Holiday Buggy released in 1980 had a very classic looing tire well aligned with it's large fender.
There are many many solutions to resolve this mismatch between body and chassis, and I have made one for myself.
The outcome is great, while keeping the performance of the DT-02, this vintage body is now well matched with grasshopper tires aligned with it's fenders.

Very cool, looks much better! And thank you so much for sharing the files!

Thank you!

I think I'll do this. Great job.

[@HumbleVintageRC]

thank you I will update the front arms with 5mm shorter version! that will look better for the front!

Nice thinking (and great job) with the Grasshopper wheel design. I was stumped on how to get Sand Scorcher rear wheels to fit on the bigger suspension assembly, so I just kept the stock wheels and tires. It's great to know there's another option out there! Awesome build! You've put new life into Grasshoppers and now the Holiday Buggy, too!

[@HumbleVintageRC]

thank you! it took me a while on figuring out solution for putting the classic look tires. what I really wanted was to just transfer grasshopper wheel but that required longer axle or other somewhat wild solutions....^^

[@lowercentenary]

Much much better with narrower chassis...well done

Awesome work! Whats the new width at the axle with the short arms? Id love this for the RWD Porsche build Im brainstorming

[@HumbleVintageRC]

hi! thank you for visiting my channel! the full width (from end of wheel axle is about 170mm long. hope this helps for your project!!

[@christopherdeguzman1137]

Wow, this is great! I love how you changed the wide stance of the DT-02 chassis to fit the grasshopper wheels. I was wondering would you be able to make a 3D print of what you did to your car and is it possible to 3D print the stat pattern grasshopper rims since I love the style of the original Grasshopper rims. I would be glad to pay you for your service and shipping to Oahu, Hawaii. Please let me know. Thank you so much!

[@HumbleVintageRC]

Hi! yes I was always planning to do the orginal grasshopper pattern^^ I will let you know when that's done...please give me some time I am really busy in the office due to year end closing ;-(

[@christopherdeguzman1137]

@@HumbleVintageRC Hello, thank you so much! I really appreciate it! Please take your time. Honestly, I think you should do this as a side commission job for those people who want the narrow stance of the original Holiday buggy. You have done such a great job on your HB. Looking forward to seeing the 3D printed Grasshopper rims. Again, thank you so much! Let me know if there any other way to contact you maybe via email. Thank you!

[@HumbleVintageRC]

Thank you Christ! I have just completed modifiying the design to original star pattern wheels^^ do let me know if you want to proceed! Would be nice to know if you have any preferred color for your wheel and arms!

Hi there, awesome video man, it looks amazing 🤩. Any chance you could sell me a set of 3D printed arms and wheels for my DT02 Holiday Buggy, and I will happily cover the postage costs as well. That was genius how you set about doing it. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧

[@HumbleVintageRC]

thank you for your interest! I can certainly print them but my experience tells me the postage to GB from Korea is pretty high! (it was around 30~40 USD). If you are willing to cover that, I can certainly send them to you^^ let me know if you are ok ^^

Yeah pal that will be fine, better than fine?, lol

[@HumbleVintageRC]

@@mikeymike3240 if yoi are ok to go, then let me know your preferred color for arms and wheels👍 I have black white yellow and blue. Allow me some time for printing and shipping and please expect around 50~60 depending one the shipping price confirmed at shipping😎
