Tamiya DT-03 Racing Fighter 16T Brushless 1/10 2WD Buggy RC Car - Lockdown Backyard Maiden Run!

Main video of the Maiden Run of a brand new Tamiya DT-03 Racing Fighter 2WD 1/10 with a 16T Tamiya Brushless TBLM-01 motor from the Tamiya DT-01-02-03 Buggy Project.

It still needs some adjustments. The High Density Tamiya tires are of course useless on the grass (and anywhere else I have tired them .. but they look good), it needs some shock oil and diff changes, and I might wonder if the 16T brushles isn't a little under-powered for the grass , especially with the limited gear ratio options of the DT-02/03, 2WD and small buggy tires. Let's see how it handles next time - hopefully on the dirt or/and tarmac. But some lockdown backyard runs 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/3SALEwAiN9g
