Chris Doughty 11-01-2008 03:14 PM

I don't believe its Tamiya.

jimmy 11-01-2008 03:15 PM

well the car is made by some guys in Finland - not Tamiya. It does look very cool, though I'm not sure if they are tried it again yet (which is a shame if so)

Lee 11-01-2008 03:16 PM

maybe with it being mid motor, it will have less drive and therefore more power is a hinderance:confused:

Who knows, it looks nice though, but i wonder how it will fly with cells down one side

Lee Martin 11-01-2008 03:17 PM

5 cells can be commonly used for dirt...just makes the power smoooother...these guys obviously like that feel and therefore made the car around it...means you can run faster motors but smooooooooooothly....

jimmy 11-01-2008 03:24 PM

Either that or the guys usually race touring cars and use 5 cells for that ! :D

Actually tamiya have created a 2wd drive version of their basic DT-02, they call it the dt-02 ms, this is actually on sale now:

Yes but thats just a tamiya, its not a TRF so its not really good enough to race at all.

jimmy 16-01-2008 10:30 PM

I'm sure its a good fun car, a guy at work just bought the standard car for his son and it seems like a decent fun chassis. Very far from a real 2WD racer attempt. I do really hope they made a 2WD though.

thats a massive misconception that it isn't good if it isn't a TRF, ok lots are made for the toy market, but they got two very good racing chassis's out there.... the DT02 isn't one though...

josh_smaxx 17-01-2008 07:38 AM

I didnt say it wasnt good, just its not suitable to race competatively in 2wd ;)
