Sidewindr's DF03-RA

Since i was done with my Unimog
Sidewindr's MOG

i decided to try out a Tamiya Rally car for a change, pretty standard build.
here are the results:



Livery inspired by 2011 Hot Wheels 240Z Treasure Hunt Livery.
Stock motor wasn't fast but felt good in the dirt, it was nice to be able to run a street car on the grass and dirt.

then i decided to change it up a bit, using a Tamiya Bronco body that i had laying around, new body posts and tires from my CC-01 Unimog.
here is the result:



without changing the gear ratio, the bigger tires made it run much faster, higher clearance and overall i'd say it's so much better than before.
Sadly i had to cut the body up quiet a bit for tire clearance, i could've raised it, but wanted that kind of slammed tucked in look.

hope you guys like it.

That looks awesome. Great paint job.
I miss my Ra. I had the old Lancia body on mine.
Had a Sv2 with a 4600kv motor. That thing would fly.
