Hi Fil - I totally agree, this kit is simply a pleasure to put together and there are so many hop-up options to add either during the build or at a later date. It performs really well and just looks so damn cool! Definitely a wonderful buggy to film, especially on a beach! Great video and tips right here, dude. Have a great day my friend! 😎👌👍

The Holiday buggy the 380 motor makes it perfect for kids to start with and easy upgrade route with the Hobbywing ESC. Even better if they want to learn to build one of the best kits to start with. It was my sons first build and then he did a TT02B and then lost interest. Pain not being able to paint the body, we are lucky because Daniel's was the rare red version with black wheels.

Part of my enjoys the challenge of things we're "not supposed to" paint... I thought about getting creative and seeing if I can mix up some good adhesion promoters and get paint to stick to this body... But I really do like the blue. So I think I'll leave it alone, and if I get the chance to grab another body, I will, and I'll try painting that one. 👊🏼

Hi Fil, bit late to comment but the bodyshell is made from polyethylene which is the same material as the 25 gallon blue drums that are used for holding fuel, oil, flammable liquids etc etc. The gearbox in the Holiday Buggy is the same as the DT-03 seeing as the chassis is a DT-02 and like most Tamiya's, all the parts are interchangeable. I placed a 4370kv (9t) in mine and it rips across the grass so maybe a speedrun challenge is coming soon.... 👍

Very nice Fil. The DT-02 is a great chassis, especially with the tyres you get with the Holiday Buggy. Like you say a great kit to get into the hobby although there is a fair bit of painting of the bits and bobs that attach to the body and some slightly tricky stickers over the arches. If you have got a spare Sand Viper body then it makes a great dirt guard for the chassis but you need to customise it a bit so it fits under the cockpit piece. Have fun running it 😁👍
