I want one of these ...

I love the Tamiya names, I wonder if they just pick 2 random words from the dictionary and put them together.

I am sorely tempted to get one of these and spend a small fortune upgrading it. I did this many years ago with a Manta Ray and had huge fun beating the odd 'proper' buggy with it.

I think the shell should look great with a proper paint job on it. I am going to get one of these myself. they look fantastic with all the hop ups but yea, very expensive to buy them all!
I'll probably get the slipper and front one-way, the shocks might be a bit over my price range though.

I guess they cost a lot to upgrade too knowing Tamiya??

Looks pretty cool - reminds me of the old school Tamiya's we all had growing up, i haven't seen many new ones for years, i used to love it as a kid looking at the Tamiya catalogues at all the off road cars - Thunder Shot, Terra Scorcher, Manta Ray, Big-Wig, Hornet, Madcap, Boomerang, Frog, Avante etc.

As Chris said they really do choose the most random names but it works

B4 turnbuckles, DF02 CVD's on the front, couple of chassis mods, RW layshaft and a B4 slipper, DF03 shocks and it is a good 'un.

I am liking the shell a little more now.

Tamiya, please PLEASE just start naming your chassis with it's designation, like DF03 instead of these embarassing names, lol.

Rob, mine is on it's way to being hopped up, trying to work out which shinny blue bits to use at the moment, and waiting on the 3Racing chassis conversion for it too....

Rob, get yourself on www.3racing.com.hk option parts, tamiya, df03, they got a rendering of thir chassis conversion!!
