Tamiya DT-01/02/03 Project #7: Tamiya Racing Fighter (DT-03) Chassis & Front Suspension!

Welcome to Episode 7 of the Tamiya DT-01, DT-02 and DT-03 Project: Unboxings, Builds, Upgrades and Comparison!

In this series we will be building the Tamiya Mad Bull 58205 (DT-01 Chassis), the Tamiya Sand Viper 58374 (DT-02 Chassis) and the Tamiya Racing Fighter 58628 (DT-03 Chassis) and do comparisons and a number of upgrades along the way. We might even have a look at some of the Grasshoppers, Hornets and a few other DT Buggies along the way.

Whenever I have a video for this series, it will be available Sunday. Whenever I have two, one more video will be available sometime during the week.

None of the buggies will be build stock and this video series is not intended for instructional purposes. Every detail of all three buggies have already been carefully planned and all optional parts and electronics have already been selected and purchased.

There will be none of the usual guiding and explanatory texts in the videos, no color optimization and no time lapse. Videos are only targeted at fellow Tamiya fans. Sometimes it's time to let the raw images speak for themselves and just enjoy the RC car. The world is hurting and spinning faster and faster. People are suffering. But a little hobby time can allow us a short welcomed break from it all. Some peace. Sit back and relax. Pure RC building ... with a little music added (feel free to turn down the volume of the video and put on your own favorite music while you are watching).

Hope you will follow along! Next episode coming up soon!
