The mid range 4WD off road platform DF03 that I posted in earlier post have receive full race spec treatment from Tamiya... The new chassis is call DF03MS... DF03MS is design by Tamiya TRF driver Satoshi Maezumi... This limited edition buggy features a chassis that is loaded with performance enhancing parts and a Dark Impact bodyshell as found in the normal DF03 chassis... But the bodyshell comes with special marking designed by Satoshi himself...

The additional parts that are included in DF03MS over normal DF03 are as follow...
53791 DF02 - Assembly Universal Shaft
53924 DF03 - Heat Sink Bar Set
53925 DF03 - Slipper Clutch Set
53926 DF03 - TRF Aluminum Damper Set
53931 DF03 - Center One Way
53940 DF03 - Hard Turnbuckle Shaft Set
53941 DF03 - Aluminum Turnbuckle Steering Rod
53948 DF03 - Aluminum One Piece Propeller Cup Joint
53949 DF03 - Lightweight Battery Stopper Pin
53984 - Buggy Racing Wing
5100 - Hi Torque Servo Saver (Black)

If you already got the normal DF03, you can actually convert it to DF03MS spec... Just buy all the hop up listed above and you got yourself a DF03MS... But the downside of this is the price will definitely be much higher comparing to buying DF03MS itself...

The completed chassis...

Inserting the battery is as easy as ABC...

This is Tamiya mid range buggy chassis... This 1/10 scale 4WD electric buggy is specially designed to excel in off road buggy racing... It features a mid rear mounted motor and longitudinally mounted battery for optimum balance for jumping... Battery is inserted through the bottom of the chassis eliminating the need to remove the bodyshell which makes routine maintenance easy and quick... High performance shaft drive 4WD combines with suspension system that feature extra long suspension arms for improved stability and off road handling... The reason for such long suspension travel is because off road racing normally will have lots of jumps... Besides that, by using shaft drive, you don't have to worry about sand or small pebbles because all the diff and gearing are seal... No more snapping belt...

My previous post, I posted a chassis called DF03RA... Actually the chassis is exactly the same as this chassis... Albeit there are some modification done to the suspension, suspension arm and damper stay...

The reason for this is because rallying is mostly off road and longer suspension travel is a must... And obviously it uses 4WD and shaft drive...
