Massive respect to the DT-03! I have two now and l never get new modern stuff its always rere new or vintage! The DT-03 is definitely the budget modern day classic! It ticks so many boxes! I must get on with my Aqroshot too! Work is spoiling the party at the moment! Glenn the white springs are fantastic mate l must have a go at that as l have several part used PS paints leftover! Pink wheels rock too my friend. Cheers James.
Thanks for the vid Glenn. I have an Aqroshot DT03T same chassis more or less. It's a great car to build and upgrades aren't too expensive which makes it great for the beginner or those of us on a tight budget! Most importantly it's great fun to drive!
I have the DT-03 and have tried various after-market shocks (3racing, GPM) and none are better than the Tamiya oil ones. For some reason, all the after-market ones think the car weighs 10 times heavier than it is and make the springs super hard. I haven't given up yet.. the shocks are well made, so it's just a case of finding a softer spring of the right length and width.
I had a DT-03 Racing Fighter, and it was good but boy did it understeer. I converted it to a DT-02 Sand Viper and it was way better, handled so well. Anyway, awesome video as always mate, keep 'em coming!!
Did wonder what happened to this one.. great looking build so far and them wheels look really nice Glenn 😎👊👌🔥🔥🔥 bar of soap put soap under nails stops work grim getting under them it's what i do 👍
Highly recommend Dulpicolor engine enamel spray paint for the shocks! You can yield some insane colors and they last through years of brutal bashing with barely any chipping!
The reason the back wheels on the Dt02ms are different is because the included tyres are too wide for the standard tamiya wheel. I run into this issue when I put proline holeshots on my stock td2 wheels, no grip at all at the track, holeshots on the appropriate sized wheel hook up perfect. So really the the MS should have come with trf201 wheels or come with standard rear tyres. Knowing how much it destroys the performance of the tyre using a too narrow wheel on those included tyres feels all wrong.
The shocks did really liven it up and the pink wheels look great! Looking forward to seeing what the body is going to look like! I could tell you were super happy with the shocks, I could hear you smiling!
Those wheels look so good and I think I'll have to do the same to mine, It should look really cool with the PS 16 on the body.. And those springs really pop once on those shocks which in turn makes the chassis look better. I know what you mean about being back to work and not having the time for the hobby, which kind of sucks 😞 Really enjoyed the video so thanks for sharing
DTO3's are great little cars and it's looking good. The standard towers do flex a bit, to the point where my shocks will bind up so that's a good upgrade.
Hey Glenn, great job. Love those wheels. Amazed it worked so well using petal pink? I'd have thought fushia would have been more like it. Going to try on my DT03. ❤
Good to see what you’re doing to this one. Looking forward to seeing the body. I’m in the middle of this very build which is going to have a completely custom body. The painting is all done and just waiting for the custom decals to arrive from MCI. Overall I hear good things about how this car runs.
