It’s definitely a cool buggy! Nice slo mo shots! It rips through that dirt nicely! Wow!👍👍

Beautiful Buggy Glenn, love the 2wd's

I quite like these. Bought one for my youngest boy years ago. He still has it. Once you get the pre-load on the shocks sorted out it's quite a planted chassis/car. Also, great value.

I ordered a Sand Viper yesterday. This will be my new runner/basher. I'm really looking forward to it because they're really hard to get at the moment.

Great video, your enthusiasm is contagious.

Sweet ride! The slow-mo is cool, keep up the great work!

That turned out amazing Glen , the car looks beautiful, I was impressed with how fast it looks even with a 540 , it would go well in an indoor race track in that form

great vid viper looks amazing its just gone on my wish list

My next purchase, but most definitely won't be painting it yellow. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like you had a smashing time Glenn. Enjoyed the video, buggy looks amazing, plus the stills and jump shots. What’s not too like. Cheers. 😊👍🏻

The Sand Viper just looks great 👍🏼

Nice, nice, nice, a great paint job and good idea to add a driver. I've got a Desert Gator and that's my favourite car, DT-02 is really fun to run, i'm jealous of this sunny weather ! Here in north of France it's raining again and again. Thanks for sharing, well done ! Take care.

Another good looking ride.

Awesome vid great car. I love my Dt02.

Cool video Glenn I love the 2wd also👍

Hiya Glenn. Great video mate - love the DT02! Now that's what I'm talking about - brilliant close up shots and slomo on the gravel, looks awesome, superb run video, hope to see more! Great work and I am jealous seeing you in the sunshine. All the best from your friend Mark :))

Awesome run Glenn of a absolute stunning buggy!! I got the DT-02MS and I love it such a great buggy 😊

Looks sweet! 🤩

looks pretty good even with a regular stock motor wowa!

love my sand viper it is over 10 year old and i have only broke both shock towers mainly in all that time, got a 17 turn brushed motor in it with a xl-5 esc it rips on 2s lipos, gonna be gearing down the pinion soon as the motor is getting a tad too hot :) bought a second kit for cheap for spares but hardly had to use any on the actual sand viper :)

i have a dt02 holiday buggy, bearings shocks and sport tuned. love it

superb!!!

She flew mate that was very enjoying to watch glen the weather looks very nice to all I’ve had is rain ps love the slow mo shots and looking forward to the gps runs big thumbs up from me as always bro 👍👍👍

great run my friend🇬🇧😎😊👊👍

Thanks for the video totally awesome car l seriously needs to get 1

Nice Glenn nice....👍👏👊

DT02 A nice tamiya chassis can take a thrashing! Nice run!

GAURANGA! Thanks brother

Love the DT-02.. got two of them :D Third maybe coming 😄

Awesome job brother

I've got a Tamiya GT motor in mine with a hobbywing 1060, running NiMH. But going to change to an RZ motor & 2s. Think that be perfect for It. Your dt02 looks spot on. They are not too expensive to tune up either. A good fun buggy 👍

Theres a Sand Viper sitting at my local shop just calling me and its the only Tamiya they have so I think its my responsibility to bring it hone to its family:) great video as always my brotha.

Hello Glenn! You should do another DT-02 build. From unboxing to complete non-boxart one with a review! I really should get third Sand Viper :D

Looking goooooood :P DT-02 is a nice chassis. I have two of them and both have 15T motors.Other one has a ball diff and titanium suspension shafts. Aluminium shocks will be installed soon.

A great beginner car with interesting tuning parts included for an affordable price. I own a Neo Fighter since 2 years and I'm very happy with it. And of course as a Neo Fighter driver I like dt02/03 driving videos, so please make a second run, a third...

It will be part of the next 100 Tamiya vintage class.

Nice 😎👍🏻🇦🇺

Really debating getting this car to get back in the sport. Wanted a car that I can modify it to be able to give the ultima a run for its money.

looks amazing, just looking at a few of the cheaper Tamiya rc's as something to do with the fact we are all in lockdown.. thought this may be a good first build to do with my little girl

Currently going over my Sand Viper, cleaning, tightening screws and such. Something is wrong with the servo now apparently, it worked earlier but needed a tightening of the servo saver screw. Now, turning right works but turning left gives weird sounds from the servo at max steer. Ok, I checked the length of the steering links which should be 75 and 52 mm respectively and they are. After a while the servo behaves even stranger! Now it started to gradually "tick" to the right, like a clock, and then back to center. What could be wrong? It"s a Futaba s 3010.

Nice video~ i enjoyed seeing it running on sand! Btw, apart from the same chassis DT-02, any difference between this Sand Viper and the Fighter Buggy SV?

Very nice, I cant wait to see a snow and ice running video, have you ever taken an RC out on a frozen lake?

My goodness your seasons change fast :-) I think I have one of these also, but think it is called something different, are there various models based on this design?

That's got some perk for a standard 540. Looks great too. 2wd always has that little bit of magic. Definitely my favourite. Hope it's ok to trouble you for some advice Glenn. How highly do you rate the standard Topforce for out the box performance? Thank you and I hope you're well.

Looks very smart! The cent threw me, guessing your based in the US. Do you find it easier getting parts over there?

The Tamiya speed control that you mentioned can also run a brushless motor. You could install a Tamiya brushless motor a get more speed that way. Also the Tamiya speed control only works with Sensored brushless motors, which is what a Tamiya brushless motor would be.

Glenn,would this buggy be capable of running a Super Stock BZ motor?.

Don't forget to try the DT 03 and the DN 01.

Have you got any videos or advice on a Manta Ray? Just picked one up dirt cheap on eBay and have stripped it down ready for a rebuild.

have you changed the front wheels?

The vid was amazing sorry

Who disliked the vid. It was amazing

Do you think it goes over 20 mph?

I love it, but it always slams down on the chasis. Just like on this video after the jump.

Are there any Tamiya kits that have metal diffs

Sounds & looks way under geared. Could add 3-5 more tooth pinion to get most out of motor. Acceleration is good.

WOW Glenn that sand viper has really got some speed and goes really well. Did you say it was a Super stock RZ motor and 2s lipo? I just today picked up a Hornet from my local shop and am planning a Tamiya GT Tuned motor and 2s lipo.mainly because I'm not at all a fan of nickel metal hydride batteries and their low run time and their weight and lack of performance. Lovely little Sand Viper their Glenn 👍👌
