Tamiya DT-02 Sand Viper 8T Brushless High Speed RC Car Buggy - Lockdown Backyard First Test Run!

Time for some more lockdown backyard Tamiya wheelies? Here's the main video of the first test run of the classic Tamiya DT-02 Sand Viper 2WD 1/10 with the 8T Carson Dragster Brushless system from the Tamiya DT-01-02-03 Buggy Project. Even though this was primarily build for speed and dirt runs this season, some lockdown backyard wheelies, grass-flips and first tests will have to do for now.

I would love to have included more clips without music in this video, but it was terrible windy this day. If you prefer it without music, editing and slow motion I already uploaded a short 'pre-view' and realistic raw one-take in 4K here: https://youtu.be/nPiAyv3DPHw
