  • I know! Was quite happy to sell you the TRF, got what I paid for it (give or take), loved building the DF03, and initial run was great, it's just made me realise how sloppy the tolerances are on the DT02 (mainly front axles, it's almost as if the stub axle doesn't have enough thread, so much play). So I've been looking at 2wd buggies, made the mistake of watching ifmar finals from last year, started looking at TLR, AE, and Schumacher, but came to the conclusion that I probably won't race (no local clubs), so one of those would be ridiculous just for thrashing around. Looking at your DN01 and a couple of builds on TC has got me leaning that way, think the TRF201 was too much buggy for me, and as it wasn't box fresh, kinda robbed me of that nib joy. We'll see, far East seems to still have them, had a look whilst researching the Durga for my mate (which he ordered from Hong Kong this morning), and if I manage to avoid duties/vat it could be reasonably inexpensive.

  • Yeah. The tolerances on the lower end cars are not exactly good, (god knows what hambini would say about it...) hence all the shims I use, but they are a lot of fun. I’m still waiting on my 14th scale buggy to arrive, but racing is already planned for that later this year and I’ll be on the committee of the Micro Section of the BRCA, got my licence and everything!

  • Asia Tees have them. Postage is a bit crushing though.
