Tips for Building the Tamiya DT03 Chassis - Aqroshot Tips & Hop-Ups!

In this video I build and chat about the DT-03 Tamiya Aqroshot RC buggy / short course truck chassis. Along the way I hope to throw in a few tips and show some of the essential hop-ups for this kit.

Many thanks my mate Rob ‪@robbrennanrc‬ who got this kit for me as a gift. Also a big thanks to Peter ‪@cw-01creations46‬ for sending me the excellent Orion 12T motor and ESC.

About the DT-03 T kit:

This assembly kit R/C truck features a stylish body inspired by U.S. stadium racing trucks. Made from lightweight and durable polycarbonate, it features a rear wing, and can be decorated using the flashy markings included in the kit. The chassis provides suitably dynamic driving fun, and is mounted with front and rear wheels of differing offset, mounted with radial semi-pneumatic tires.

The stylish slimline form of this chassis stems from its lightweight yet durable monocoque frame, which features a longitudinally-positioned battery and the R/C equipment along the centerline for excellent balance. The combination of a long 287mm wheelbase and 4-wheel double wishbone suspension married to CVA oil dampers with long arms at a 25-degree attachment angle, allows the model to handle with stability on poor surfaces. The rear-positioned gearbox is sealed to protect from dust and dirt, with the built-in differential gear offering smooth cornering.
