Скачать или смотреть Tamiya Tuesdays in 4K: SPEED TEST! Torque Tuned Tamiya DF-03 Dark Impact 1/10 4WD Buggy

Before I start fiddling with gearing and motors again, I wanted a quick GPS speed test of the Tamiya DF-03 Dark Impact and Tamiya DF-03 MS Edition. So here they are, for those with an interest in the DF-03 chassis. One take, no music, no editing , no slow motion, short and simple and in 4K. It's Tuesday and it's Windy! Sorry about the wind noise and the bad driving skills.

The Tamiya Dark Impact certainly has slowed down since the last GPS speed test and before the "return-to-basic-restoration". Here it is running with the optional low gear ratio around 10:1 (26T pinion/85T spur), a 6S NiMH and a Tamiya Torque Tuned brushed motor. Definitely need another gearing. Spoiler alert: 28 kph equals approx. 17 mph.

Next up is the upgraded Tamiya DF-03 MS Edition with a gear ratio of 9.17:1 (26T pinion/78T spur), a 2S LiPo and an unspecified brushless motor. Definitely need a new motor! For comparison, you can watch it here:    • Tamiya Tuesdays in 4K: SPEED TEST! Crushed...
