Took me long enough - but project 'ultimate Impact' is go!
I only just started but of course the main part of this car is the awesome KMRC conversion kit. Since i wanted to get the best of the car I also hunted out some choice hop-ups, concentrating on performance rather than looks.
At the moment other than the conversion there is:
  • Tamiya hopup shocks - I will change to 501X pistons and shafts though
  • Tamiya turnbuckles
  • Tamiya heatsinks (might ditch these)
  • Tamiya centre one way
  • Tamiya front one way
  • Square front and rear shock towers
  • Square rear diff
  • Kanzen ceramic diff balls
  • Square front cvd
  • Yeah Racing rear cvd
Powering this lot will be the 2007 Nosram Matrix brushless with 5.5 motor and Nosram team cells. Steering will come from the latest low profile KO servo.





I don't know a heck of a lot about Tamiya stuff and all the millions of cars they do - and what might fit this df03 buggy... but I am looking for a couple of things and hoped someone might be able to help.
I am looking for caster front hub carriers - the kit are ZERO degrees and it's simply not enough with the fairly shallow front kick up.
I have seen some Yeah Racing front TB05 hub carriers in 4degrees caster but not sure if these will fit?

I am not sure what rear toe-in is on the DF03 as standard (from the wishbones) but it looks about 4 degrees - so does anyone make toe-in rear hubs for this platform or that might fit? I want to reverse them for less toe-in.
