    Great channel, Rex! I really enjoy your videos, and look forward to every upload! I've got the Holiday Buggy, Sand Viper, and Titan; you've represented the DT-02 (and Tamiya) well in this one.

      I like your mix of running footage and tech talks. The first video of yours I ever watched was "All About The M Chassis". It was just what I was looking for, and it made a good impression. I think you're on the right track, and I hope you keep it up.

    Bought the original Holiday buggy back in 81. I was 19 and just about to get married. I'm 62 now and bought the DT version and absolutely love it. Brushless up grade, oil shocks, and ball raced its a quick little bugger! Makes a change to flying my aircraft and Helicopters. Takes me back to a better time.

    I don't have one but I've always like the dt02. Tamiya makes great stuff. In a world of rtr trucks and cars that hit over 50mph, Tamiya has what most of us old-timers want. A kit that you can run in your driveway, well designed and fun to drive. I miss the simplicity of the old tl01 too

    Great video, sound track and brief history lesson of this iconic buggy. I love the holiday buggy however, I feel the track in the DT-02 is to wide for the buggy. I also miss the wheels that originally came with the buggy. There is a UA-camr “Humble vintage RC” that 3D printed shorter arms for the dt-02 chassis and also 3D printed some rims to fit the grasshopper paddle tires and front ribbed tires. Now, the HB he posted on YT look so much better having the wheels under the fenders like the 80’s HB together with an awesome chassis of the dt-02. I do recommend check that humble vintage rc channel on the HB. To me, Tamiya should have done that to the HB.

    Great video and i agree!There's nothing like driving a well ballanced 2-wheel drive offroad buggy. My favourites are my Traxxas Nitro Buggy and my Kyosho Baja Body. Both classics because no brand dares to produce a modern 2-wheel drive (preferably nitro) buggy, except for competition (electric). I would've loved to see a 1/10 or 1/8 scale HPI Baja!
    Love my Wild One! Tamiya is #1 in that category!

    • @rexrcs
      @rexrcs  2 роки тому +1

      Have you taken a good look at the 1/7 kyosho buggy from a while back? That looks sweet but i hear it doesnt handle too well, and again its electric…. Hmmmm…. Let me think… Tamiya themselves have made some nitro 2wd but yes, currently its only Traxxas!

    Hi Rex, I have the re re holiday buggy but it’s the red special edition version, so I bought a used blue holiday buggy body,a set of the yellow wheels and tyres, a set of oil shocks and a set of Carson wheels and tyres. I love it for it’s simplicity and ease of use. Still don’t understand why they brought out the red version.

      All kidding aside, it really depends on what makes you smile when watching it bounce through the dirt and grass patches, which one looks the coolest to you when pulling a handbrake turn or jumping a speed hump, for me my next dt-02 would either be a rover or the nissan titan for the body to put onto a cc-01
