I did see a Carbon conversion on one of the sites for the DF-03, but to be honest, it moves away from the whole point of the DF-03... all the mass down the centre and went back to saddle packs.
Jon, how hard would it be to make a chassis with central cells?

If the shaft or belts are not in the way of stick style center cells its not a major problem, really depends if you can mount the flat carbon fibre sheet to each gearbox ?.

i think that a double deck CF chassis is not very important....i prefer a graphite chassis (like losi or AE) but idendtical to the original one ( tamiya has done the same with TA-05) ....and some carbon fiber and alu stuff........
the KM-rc chassis is far from the original layout of the car..... ciao |

Jon, I might have to get you some bits and peices to send you so you can assess it. The biggest issue is keeping the cells in the same place but making them accessible, and you either use the same(ish) system that there is now but make sure the Top deck is a serious part of the integrity of the chassis stiffness. It is definately crying out for it though, and that might mean being able to go across to having suspension blocks on the rear and not gearbox mounted wishbones.

Thought you guys would like to know the new tamiya car got 2nd at the Japanese nationals to an HB car.
Details were in the 2007 worlds warmup thread under australian racing in rctech's forum. Only a shot of the podium finishers with their cars with bodys on, but the new body itself for the tamiya looks cooool. Can't find any info on the HB buggy, I'm sure some pics will leak from japanese websites for both cars. Loving all the interest in 4wd |

Quick someone give carl a warning for madness!
Carl you said "its a tamiya" in a thread about the Hot Bodies buggy!!!!! the hotbodies buggy which clearly ISNT a tamiya! lol - it might very well be a Yokomo BX disguised as a new HB buggy, but its NOT NOT NOT A TAMIYA !!! :flower: |

I have to say, I know that shell is insane, but I like it. Its......... ace.
having said that, when you get the clubmans style one can job on there, things might not look quite so spiffy. I hope they are closer to making a buggy we can buy, I wont hold my breath though, tamiya seem able to get near final production and then forget all about it, like the neoshot. |

*shakes head*
Yeah the tamiya is the same (or close) to the one they showed at the toyfair a while back, I think the shell is even the same or close, but there were no good shots of the shell at that time. Anyways, how good is it to have all these new japanese buggys rearing their heads coming up to the worlds next year.. |

I reckon you will have a certain Marc Rheinard driving it at the worlds, there will be a LOT at stake next year at the worlds, in what I reckon, is the most active creativity area in the RC World.
