and just in case you dont speak dutch, the text on that page says;

As we last week already could report gets the Tamiya rally-story shortly a new chapter. Mid next month namely the new DF-03RA draft will be presented at the large public. As the type-indication does suspect is this draft based on the famous and tested DF-03 buggy-chassis that we of the Dark Impact and building peer know. Today dove there all a photograph on of this new rallywagen, on which clear the rally-adaptations are to recognize:

This new development will the Tamiya rally-story, that it until now closed had to do with antiquated BARRELS variants and the TB01, an enormous angriest give. Temporarily the rally-lovers can again the borders to hartelust between on and evenly-road unsafely make.

the shell looks really silly that high up

yep lol :p

should be a good laugh, another rally chassis

The tamiya rally escorts are still my favourite, look forward to hearing what this chassis is like.

does anyone run this class competitively or is it purely bashing ?

I like the concept, nice off-road basher in a scale format with a sealed drivetrain. But I kind of wish they made it with the TB03 or DB01 chassis, better plastics and all.

i like the TB-01 :thumbsup:

i would love to race off road rally cars, could race them on a buggy track, jumps and all :thumbsup:

As much as how the DF03 transmission reminds me of the mantaray, this reminds me of when they used the chassis to make the Celica GTfour, they should have gone full retro and made the gear cases red:lol:

Those tyres look......er, ummm, well, kinda "overstyled"

they are old skool tamiya rally tyres man, been around for years !!! :woot:

i do like the HPI pirelli ones like :thumbsup:

I love it
 

I want the body posts to put another body on my Dark Impacts!!

id buy one... but could the transmission live with something faster than a 27t? :woot::lol:

I've seen 3s mamba max setups of the df03 on Youtube...how long it lasts is another question. But it would be doing a scale 700 mph or so, lol

They should make a DF-03E with better plastics like what they did with the TT-01. Heheh.

only thing with df03 is, gears arent very strong :yawn::(
