Tamiya Rising Storm - RPM Up and Gear Ratio Down | Tamiya DF-02 Collection Test Run Part 2

Second GPS Speed Test, Comparison and Test Run of my 2023 Tamiya DF-02 RC Car Collection (or Madness?). Here's my old 'bling-blinged' 2004 Tamiya Rising Storm Assembly Kit 58334 ... with a few (silly) upgrades.

Last year the car felt too heavy, clumsy and too slow in acceleration with the LRP standard "silver can" coupled with the highest gearing (22T pinion and 67T spur). So without a need to add more power (voltage) to the fragile DF-02 chassis, an alternative medicine-injection could be to gear it down or increase the motor's RPM. Or do both.

This video was recorded in the dry spring of 2023. It's late summer now and Denmark is green again.

Full specifications and list of parts, electronics and upgrades down below!
