My only RC car is sand viper dto2 in banana yellow. 12 years old n doing fine. Used a few sets of rear tyres. Still original fronts. Always wanted the frog when I was a kid!.

I think the DT-02 is one of the best Tamiya chassis’s to date my friend 🤩👊🏻
bought a re re holiday buggy cuz it was dirt cheap, wasnt expecting much. When i started putting it together i was pleasantly surprised how good the dt02 chassis is.
The finished car looks awesome. Really like the decals and driver figure. Very nice job!

Excellent thanks for your lovely feedback my friend 😊👊🏻
Proper job mate!
Steve Brynan
Thanks Steve 😊👊🏻
Really like it Glen!!!. That DTO2 chassis is great to play around with. I like the shocks I think I will get a set of them for the holiday buggy👍👍👍
Darren Grimmer
Excellent 😍
I did have to change the front springs to softer ones to improve the steering, but apart from that it ran super sweet 😊
Thanks for watching Darren 👊🏻
I have a Sand Viper and it’s the only Tamiya I own that’s not vintage. It’s a very simple design, guess that’s why I like it.
It looks great!
The Sand Viper DT-02 is such a great affordable car for beginners.
aviano72
Thanks buddy 😎
I just had a thought with the stickers.. that most likely in future using some see thru tracing paper.. to map the body and this see where the stickers could sit as well as like in this case with the big vs the small sticker you had to choose from for the front of the body ..
The driver head my thought was using a belt sander to remove the base of the body (thats if have access to one..)
Jessica Latex
Fantastic feedback thanks for that my friend 😊👊🏻
I just got a sand viper and am yet to build it. this video gave me some great ideas and you've earned a subscriber
Hey 👋🏻
Fantastic welcome to the channel my friend 🤩👊🏻
Tamiya has changed a lot over the years When I was a teen in 1986 I built and upgraded nearly everything. I had aluminum two piece wheels, titanium frame, adjustable gas shocks and all the linkages where aluminum etc, etc. I haven’t had one in 25 years do they still make metal aftermarket parts for those buggies?
Looks fantastic mate.
After looking around, I think I'm going to get a Sand Viper for my son to build for his 1st kit that he'll truly do on his own. He'll be 10 next year and until now, he's just been watching me build and run RCs. I really would like him to get into it himself. I'll even get him his own Tamiya tool kit. I was going to get a GH2 or a Hornet, but those are just for me and my Tamiya experience; this one will be his Tamiya memories for years to come.
Big Apple UB
That’s so cool my friend, it’s a special moment for us watching our kids get involved with this great hobby 🤩👊🏻
DT-02 is alot of fun to Build.. I like your TRF Version more (More Color) you should try the TRF only Different Colors
Looks stunning, my friend. Love the driver and the wing. Yeah, perfect! Win! Think I saw this DT weeks ago?
And yeah, the Viper and Gator are the top tuned DT-02’s (Well, apart from the MS)
Nordic RC Visions
Thanks for watching my friend 😊👊🏻
Clean looking buggy. Looks great! 👌
RC Hobby Shed
Thanks buddy 😊👊🏻
Bob on build that Glenn. Amazing work with the paint and decals. Love it. 👍🏻😊
Dave Pearce
Thanks Dave 😊👊🏻
I've found that taking a photocopy of the decals, and cutting those out instead, allows you to mess around with variaitions until your heart is content.
Absloutely love that decal set. I'm already looking for one.
Talos242
Excellent thanks for watching buddy 🤩👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends Thanks for making these. 👍
Btw if it was me, I'd make use of the large orange sweeps and overlay them on the pink so they match the central ones.
Btw btw the DN-01 is the Zahhak. Just received mine so very excited to find I can use this shell on that too.🤯
I've got a lovely orange one that I did to replace the Neo Falcon body and wing. Can't wait to get it built this weekend.
Great video, Glenn! Loving the DT02, and I certainly have had a lot of fun with my Sand Viper. The driver was a great call, I think all Tamiyas look better with a driver installed. You are gonna enjoy running this one my friend! :))
Mark Bryan RC
Thanks Mark 😊👊🏻
Very good job very well done. Nice 1 Glen
Matt Ridge
Lovely thanks Matt 😊👊🏻
Stick the last red and orange decals between the two pink ones down the body sides. she will look perfect 👍

Thanks for watching buddy 😊💨
Looks awesome man! and it's a nice chassis that takes a good beating!!
Shen RC
Thanks buddy 😊👊🏻
Looks great! Nice job 👍
James Nobody13
Thanks James 😊👊🏻
I like it good job
Hiya Glenn !!!
Anthony Church
Hi buddy 😊👊🏻
I have just finished assembling a DT03. I had spare ball bearings. Deciding on how to paint the racing fighter body
Warwick Eion Campbell
Excellent thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
looks ace mate, ive a holiday buggy on same chassis, love it
Andy Smith
Thanks Andy, great car I’m definitely on the lookout for another one 😊👊🏻
Hi Glenn, I think the wing mounts look like eyes and together with the sticker looks like the head of a Japanese cartoon character. Steve MCR UK.
Stephen Stott
Lol 😂 you’re right Stephen, I’d not noticed that 😂👊🏻
Nice vid buddy, my old ken block styled dt02 is coming back to me in January so hoping we will have another dt02 event soon to race these fun cars in again
Stuart Gains
Hey Stuart 😊
Great to hear from you buddy 👊🏻
Yeah you guys are lucky over there to have all these race meetings and obviously the revival, nothing like that over here 😞
Great job well done 👍🏻
Nick Antoniou
Thanks Nick 😊👊🏻
Hi Glenn, I would change stickers on the roof, left for right and right for left. Because that black line will match better with black line in wing. But otherwise its perfect. I like it white with white shocks (nice detail) and with driver. This buggy is cheap and suitable for custom painting, I must buy one. Thanks for idea.
MilosRCerny Černý
Yeah that’s a great point my friend 👊🏻
Thanks for watching buddy 😊
instablaster
DB01 is the zahhak. Awesome
It is called the zahhak the DN 01 you need to get there free catalog for RCS call them 1-800 Tamiya. The DN 01 is in the 2017-2018 ones and the2019 ones are out the catalogs have volume 1 and volume 2 they come out with 2 a year. Please look into it for your self Glenn.
You are the master 👊👍
Chris Stitt
Lol 😂
Don’t know about that Chris 🤓
Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
New to the channel subbed up I used to love this models as a kid and still do I think I might have to get one
retro wolf 13
That’s awesome my friend thank you 😊. You’ll like my Blackfoot running video tomorrow then 😊👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends awesome can't wait buddy
Sweet! Made me remember that I hadn't cleaned my Kumamon Buggy since the last drive this summer :P It's such a fun car. Probably a bit different to this one though :P
Roger Skagerström
Excellent 😎
I’m posting the running video tomorrow Roger 😊🚗💨💨
@@TAMIYALegends Looking forward to it! :p I have so many subscriptions that I'm always one week behind though haha :P But I'll get to it ;)
Nice !👍
David Turner
Cheers David 😊👊🏻
Basically the DN-01 is like the base model of the TRF201.
It's your car do it like you want it don't worry about how anyone else thinks they didn't pay for it you did.
Jody Blackwell
Very true Jody 👊🏻
Thanks for watching buddy
cool ‼︎
anfivius
Thanks man 😊👊🏻
Hello Glenn! How's things in Canada? Are you going to do more DT-02 videos and other DT-02 Tamiyas? Would love to see. 🙂
Cosmo 1:35
Very cold 🥶🥶🥶
Yeah I’d like to do another one, I absolutely love the DT-02 chassis 🤩🤩🤩
@@TAMIYALegends All the snow has melt here in Finland but up north in Lapland there's snow. Enjoy the freeze :)
The DN-01 is a cheaper version of the trf201, without the alloy shocks or suspension mounts. Good value, the body (Zahhak) isn't exactly a looker though.
Bamboozled Bob
Yeah that shell isn’t the best for me lol 😬
Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends I might get one 🤤 along with DT-03 Racing Fighter.. I have plans for the DT-03 😋
Cosmo 1:35
Excellent 😍😍😍
@@TAMIYALegends How's the weather in Canada? Here in Finland it has been snowing but it has changed to rain atm. I was driving my CR-01 and had to quit because it rained so much. Now i'm sipping sum 8 YO Whisky and watching RC videos 😊
Cosmo 1:35
Haven’t had the snow yet, but the temp is now -0 degrees during the day 🥶🥶🥶
Glenn we have got a sand viper body dressed up as an astute and it looks awesome. I can send a pic on messenger for you to have a look at
Lee Hurst
Wow that sounds cool 😎
Yes please do Lee 👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends do it tonight for you
I'm sure the zahak was on the DN01 chassis. It's been a while so can't say 100 %
Btw, i suggest to get a carbon front shock tower brace to support the towers. Or if you go cheaper way you can use thread shaft also.
Cosmo 1:35
Yeah I’ve seen lot’s of guys do that brace 😊👊🏻
Thanks for the heads up buddy
@@TAMIYALegends I installed a ball diff to the other SV. Goes very well with a 15T Orion Method.
Hello Glenn great video I have just ordered a sand viper but iam not sure what colour to do the body as box art is yellow and not a fan of yellow apart from on the lunchbox any ideas mate would be a big help thanks
coz
Google the DT-02 MS car 🤩
Those reproduction decals are available from MCI Racing, stunning looking thing, two colours white and blue, although you’ll probably need to get the same wing to finish it off 🤔🤷🏼♂️
Just an idea buddy 👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends ok mate thank you for your help mate
In theory you could get the other wing at the right angle with a door wedge piece of plastic premounted to the tower with additional holes to bolt the wing on and two more bolts to fix it on?lol
James Cunliffe
Yeah I just think the shape of it isn’t quite as good 🤔
Thanks for watching James 👊🏻
Nice job Glenn 👍 looking forward to a 2wd run video .. brushless?
beetlebailey
No I actually went for the RZ 23t on 2s on the gravel 😊
Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
Looking good, but marker pens are fine I use them as well.
Bas Boy RC
So much easier than a brush for me buddy, I have to say my painting skills aren’t improving with my age 😂👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends I find i'm the same now. But masking tape and Sharpie does not bleed and did that on the side of the Scooby van.
You could try it with Pink wheels.
Yep put driver in after a gentle trim ;)
58slugbug
Yeah it was a bit rough wasn’t it 😬
Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends Not a problem cheers for the video. Glad you put a bit more colour on the driver too looks good.
The pink ghost should be it's nickname.
Brad Kalman
Love it Brad 😍👊🏻
I think you should bring that decal down further on the front.
Hello Glenn need some help building my dt02 got to the front steering and the servo head is hitting the top plate and I have put the servo in the right way round mate I have no clue what's wrong
coz
Can you email some pictures to glenn.barclay@btinternet.com
@@TAMIYALegends I have sorted it mate I had the servo posts the wrong way round I am a dick head lol its bin a long day
What DF-03 wing is that exactly? Dark Impact? Part number?
Cosmo 1:35
Yes buddy it’s the Dark Impact wing, just been looking but can’t see a part number for the wing 🤔🤷🏼♂️
@@TAMIYALegends Yeah, same here. There's the DF-03/TRF/DB-01/DB-02 etc also but.. it's the racing one and it's kinda bland as you already know. I have it on my DB-01. I like the Astute one 😋
What do you think the next 100 vintage tamiyas will be?
Brad Kalman
Don’t know Brad, but it’s a great question 🤔👊🏻
Front end before looked to sloppy,half the suspension travel was taken up with it just sitting in sag,also it appeared to have zero damping so the front!??now it should corner like it's on rails!!
How do you mask like that and cut the masking tape with out cutting the shell?
Leigh Love
I always use a really sharp blade, you really don’t need to press very hard to trim the masking.
Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
I prefer the bottom hinge of the shock should stay white.
You should do a box art desert gator.
Did you get those shocks from the dark impact?
Brad Kalman
Yes I did buddy 👊🏻
The dn01 is the chassis that zannak (i think that's how its spelt) 2wd thing is on
Phil Moffett
Yeah I’ve not seen many of those about Phil, hopefully get hold of one at some point in the future.
Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
needs pink wheels
Elios0000
Yes that would finish it 😍👊🏻
What wheels are those?
The driver should be a little further back.
