It’s definitely a cool buggy! Nice slo mo shots! It rips through that dirt nicely! Wow!👍👍
We Really Don't Know What We're Doing R/C
Thanks for watching my friend 😊👊🏻
I quite like these. Bought one for my youngest boy years ago. He still has it. Once you get the pre-load on the shocks sorted out it's quite a planted chassis/car.
Also, great value.

Excellent 😎
Thanks for watching 👊🏻
I ordered a Sand Viper yesterday. This will be my new runner/basher. I'm really looking forward to it because they're really hard to get at the moment.
That turned out amazing Glen , the car looks beautiful, I was impressed with how fast it looks even with a 540 , it would go well in an indoor race track in that form
Fatal shock Brynnette
Yeah it ran great and as you said it was pretty nippy 😊
Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
My next purchase, but most definitely won't be painting it yellow. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful Buggy Glenn, love the 2wd's

Love the DT-02.. got two of them :D Third maybe coming 😄
Cosmo 1:35
Excellent 😊. I want another this year, I have a plan 🤓👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends Hoard it! Hoard it now like there's no tomorrow! 😋
Hiya Glenn. Great video mate - love the DT02! Now that's what I'm talking about - brilliant close up shots and slomo on the gravel, looks awesome, superb run video, hope to see more! Great work and I am jealous seeing you in the sunshine. All the best from your friend Mark :))
Mark Bryan RC
Thanks Mark 😊👊🏻
Great video, your enthusiasm is contagious.
Stephen McClune
Excellent 😎
Thanks for watching my friend 👊🏻
i have a dt02 holiday buggy, bearings shocks and sport tuned. love it
Andy Smith
One of my favourites so far Andy 😊👊🏻
DT02 A nice tamiya chassis can take a thrashing! Nice run!
Shen RC
Thanks buddy 😊👊🏻
GAURANGA!
Thanks brother
Nice, nice, nice, a great paint job and good idea to add a driver. I've got a Desert Gator and that's my favourite car, DT-02 is really fun to run, i'm jealous of this sunny weather ! Here in north of France it's raining again and again. Thanks for sharing, well done ! Take care.
Fencen Aoghen
They certainly are great buggy’s my friend 😍
Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Currently going over my Sand Viper, cleaning, tightening screws and such. Something is wrong with the servo now apparently, it worked earlier but needed a tightening of the servo saver screw. Now, turning right works but turning left gives weird sounds from the servo at max steer. Ok, I checked the length of the steering links which should be 75 and 52 mm respectively and they are. After a while the servo behaves even stranger! Now it started to gradually "tick" to the right, like a clock, and then back to center. What could be wrong? It"s a Futaba s 3010.
Sweet ride! The slow-mo is cool, keep up the great work!
The Houleigan
Thanks for watching 😊👊🏻
Awesome run Glenn of a absolute stunning buggy!! I got the DT-02MS and I love it such a great buggy 😊
christopher coconis
MS version 😍😍😍
@@TAMIYALegends Totally agree bud 😍😍😍 With the ball diff and MS shocks, tie rods,anti roll bars. Makes a great buggy into a dare say a iconic one. Especially when it's running a light brushless combo. Got a 2700kv/ 60amp combo on 2s with a 19t pinion runs 30mph which to me is perfect for the buggy. I had a 3300kv in it before and turning was a chore..lol A lot of push in the front so it was more wide drifts then turns😂
love my sand viper it is over 10 year old and i have only broke both shock towers mainly in all that time, got a 17 turn brushed motor in it with a xl-5 esc it rips on 2s lipos, gonna be gearing down the pinion soon as the motor is getting a tad too hot :)
bought a second kit for cheap for spares but hardly had to use any on the actual sand viper :)
superb!!!
Another good looking ride.
Really debating getting this car to get back in the sport. Wanted a car that I can modify it to be able to give the ultima a run for its money.
Cool video Glenn I love the 2wd also👍
beetlebailey
Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
looks pretty good even with a regular stock motor wowa!
She flew mate that was very enjoying to watch glen the weather looks very nice to all I’ve had is rain ps love the slow mo shots and looking forward to the gps runs big thumbs up from me as always bro 👍👍👍
RC Misfits
Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
Hello Glenn! You should do another DT-02 build. From unboxing to complete non-boxart one with a review! I really should get third Sand Viper :D
The Tamiya speed control that you mentioned can also run a brushless motor. You could install a Tamiya brushless motor a get more speed that way. Also the Tamiya speed control only works with Sensored brushless motors, which is what a Tamiya brushless motor would be.
Alfred Yost
It does indeed my friend 👊🏻
Thanks for watching 😊
@@TAMIYALegends I have used this set-up on several Tamiya cars and like it. Also, you only need to buy a Tamiya Brushless motor and that is it. This will save you some money. Nothing wrong with that.
Alfred Yost
I use brushless a lot in my videos and it’s cool, but nothing like the sound of a brushed motor, especially a vintage one 😍👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends I agree, If you are trying to build a Tamiya vintage car a brushed motor would be a better choice.
It will be part of the next 100 Tamiya vintage class.
Brad Kalman
Yeah I know plenty of guys who love this chassis Brad 😎👊🏻
Theres a Sand Viper sitting at my local shop just calling me and its the only Tamiya they have so I think its my responsibility to bring it hone to its family:) great video as always my brotha.
ZERO'S HOBBIES
That is absolutely your responsibility to give it a home my friend 😂👊🏻
Looks like you had a smashing time Glenn. Enjoyed the video, buggy looks amazing, plus the stills and jump shots. What’s not too like.
Cheers. 😊👍🏻
Dave Pearce
Excellent thanks for the lovely feedback Dave, it’s much appreciated 😊👊🏻
A great beginner car with interesting tuning parts included for an affordable price. I own a Neo Fighter since 2 years and I'm very happy with it. And of course as a Neo Fighter driver I like dt02/03 driving videos, so please make a second run, a third...
Sven Maier
Excellent Sven 😊
Thanks for watching 👊🏻
WOW Glenn that sand viper has really got some speed and goes really well. Did you say it was a Super stock RZ motor and 2s lipo? I just today picked up a Hornet from my local shop and am planning a Tamiya GT Tuned motor and 2s lipo.mainly because I'm not at all a fan of nickel metal hydride batteries and their low run time and their weight and lack of performance. Lovely little Sand Viper their Glenn 👍👌
I've got a Tamiya GT motor in mine with a hobbywing 1060, running NiMH. But going to change to an RZ motor & 2s. Think that be perfect for
It. Your dt02 looks spot on. They are not too expensive to tune up either. A good fun buggy 👍
stephen manley
Excellent Stephen 😎
Thanks for watching 👊🏻
great vid viper looks amazing its just gone on my wish list
Mark Hollinshead
Thanks Mark, I honestly loved it, looks great and mega fun to run.
Thanks for watching 😊👊🏻
looks amazing, just looking at a few of the cheaper Tamiya rc's as something to do with the fact we are all in lockdown..
thought this may be a good first build to do with my little girl
adrian harrison
Well I’d say yes 100%, it’s an awesome 2wd buggy 🤩👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends is the Desert Gator basically the same thing?
adrian harrison
Yeah pretty much buddy 👊🏻
it is an awesome first build and nippy out the box :)
Nice Glenn nice....👍👏👊
Alessandro Pasca
Thanks buddy 😊👊🏻
great run my friend🇬🇧😎😊👊👍
Leons rc hobbys
Cheers Leon 😊👊🏻
Don't forget to try the DT 03 and the DN 01.
I got my DN-01 this week. :)
@@GTMatukka I hope to see it run.
@@bradkalman2353 At some point yes. 🙂
Looking goooooood :P DT-02 is a nice chassis. I have two of them and both have 15T motors.Other one has a ball diff and titanium suspension shafts. Aluminium shocks will be installed soon.
Cosmo 1:35
Excellent 😎👊🏻
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video totally awesome car l seriously needs to get 1
Matt Hutch
Thanks for watching Matt 😊👊🏻
Awesome vid great car. I love my Dt02.
M Cook
It’s a great fun buggy 😍👊🏻
Looks sweet! 🤩
Paul Garwood
Thanks Paul 😊👊🏻
That's got some perk for a standard 540. Looks great too.
2wd always has that little bit of magic. Definitely my favourite.
Hope it's ok to trouble you for some advice Glenn. How highly do you rate the standard Topforce for out the box performance?
Thank you and I hope you're well.
Eddie Bottoms
Hey 👊🏻
The Top Force is one of the best Tamiya cars out the box. The only chassis add ons it needs are full bearing kit and alloy motor mount. Apart from that it’s an amazing buggy 😍👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends Thank you Glenn, really appreciate your reply. And your endorsement of the Topforce seals the deal for me.
Thanks again ☺
Eddie Bottoms
Anytime my friend 👊🏻
Have you got any videos or advice on a Manta Ray? Just picked one up dirt cheap on eBay and have stripped it down ready for a rebuild.
James Thomson
Yeah check out my custom Terra Conqueror videos James 😎👊🏻
TAMIYA Legends awesome, thanks
Nice video~ i enjoyed seeing it running on sand! Btw, apart from the same chassis DT-02, any difference between this Sand Viper and the Fighter Buggy SV?
Calvin Chan
Thanks Calvin 😊
I believe there the same apart from shell decals, wheels and tyres 🤔🤷🏼♂️
Awesome job brother
11CHARLIE RC
Thanks man 😊👊🏻
Nice 😎👍🏻🇦🇺
RC Action Australia
Thanks buddy 😊👊🏻
Very nice, I cant wait to see a snow and ice running video, have you ever taken an RC out on a frozen lake?
mtbalot
I haven’t but that sounds very cool 😎
Thanks for watching 👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends yeah bro, build a little circuit from snow with berms and jumps. I bet it will be a blast.
Spray paint the snow somehow, wish I had spare cash to do something like that myself. 🤟
T
My goodness your seasons change fast :-) I think I have one of these also, but think it is called something different, are there various models based on this design?
John Westwood
Yes there’s quite a few on this chassis 😎
Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Looks very smart! The cent threw me, guessing your based in the US. Do you find it easier getting parts over there?
murmles
Hey buddy I’m over in Canada at the moment. Parts are tough tbh, mainly from my Facebook group or China.
Thanks for watching 😊👊🏻
Glenn,would this buggy be capable of running a Super Stock BZ motor?.
Mikey C
Yeah check out my other video on this car, I run it with the RZ on 2&3s 🚗💨💨💨
Who disliked the vid. It was amazing
John The RC driver
Yeah I never understand the thumbs down guys 🤷🏼♂️
@@TAMIYALegends Must a someone who hasn't a DT-02 Sand Viper ;)
have you changed the front wheels?
carlos santos
No buddy, these were the standard kit wheels and tyres 😊
Thanks for watching 👊🏻
The vid was amazing sorry
Sounds & looks way under geared. Could add 3-5 more tooth pinion to get most out of motor. Acceleration is good.
I love it, but it always slams down on the chasis. Just like on this video after the jump.
Are there any Tamiya kits that have metal diffs
Willie Spradley
Yes there’s quite a few that come as standard, but you can buy metal diffs for most chassis’s as a hop up.
Thanks for watching 😊👊🏻
Do you think it goes over 20 mph?
Brad Kalman
I’d guess around 18mph with this set up, but the RZ motor made a big difference 🚗💨💨
