Born and raised on circuits

Entrusted to the hands of works drivers from the prototype stage, it was developed based on data accumulated from many actual races. This is an assembly kit for an electric radio-controlled buggy created for off-road racing. Tamiya While inheriting the traditional shaft drive 4WD, the development concept was to improve the efficiency of the drive system, optimize the weight balance, and ensure sufficient suspension stroke. In addition, the compact chassis has a slim and firm body. In contrast, the rear wing is a large type that is integrated up to the end plate, creating downforce and stabilizing the rear. The tires are equipped with dual block tires K that provide good grip on all road surface

DF-03 chassis with refined traditional shaft 4WD

Adopts a monocoque tab frame with high torsional rigidity. The battery is placed in the centre and the RC mechanism is placed on the left and right sides for excellent weight balance, and the oil damper is housed within the wheelbase. By centrally mounting heavy items such as these, high running stability and cornering performance are achieved. The front and rear gearboxes with built-in high-performance ball differentials are compact in size. In particular, the front has a bevel gear at the tip of the propeller shaft. It engages directly with the ball differential carrier and eliminates secondary reductions such as counter gears. The propeller shaft is placed at the shortest distance and ball bearings are standard equipment, making drive efficiency more efficient. Furthermore, the 4-wheel double wishbone suspension Uses a long arm with excellent ground contact. A stainless steel pin is used on the axis of the arm to create smooth movement, and a small upright is installed to reduce un-sprung weight. In addition, the upper arm and oil damper can be attached. You can choose the position and have a wide range of settings.
