The NEW Holiday Buggy comes mounted on the DT-02 chassis which has its battery pack loaded in the center of the bathtub frame and has excellent handling performance even on rough surfaces. This is therefore a mix of old style body on a modern chassis.
Easy to drive, smooth handling DT02 Chassis
Running a 380 motor, so fast acceleration yet low top speed, meaning ideal for younger children.
Features similar ribbed front and spike rear tyres as the original.
Newly designed full-body sticker sheet included.
Blue coloured hard plastic body included.
Comes mounted on the 2WD DT-02 chassis.
Driver figure included.
Options Explained
Bearing Upgrade: These make the car run more smoothly and are easily installed during assembly. If there is no option for these shown, then the kit already includes the bearing upgrade as standard. These are entirely optional.
Radio System: There is a choice of a TWIN STICK (Traditional) radio or a Steering Wheel (Modern) radios. All operate on 2.4Ghz and use the new Crystal-Free technology, so you can run multiple cars at the same time without any interference. All radios chosen from this page will include a steering servo as these are not included in the kit itself.
ESC: This is the connection between the radio system and the motor. You have several choices. Tamiya no longer make their own ESC, instead they supply from their facilities Hobbywing or Mstyle units. Where a model number is shown (e.g. 20 or 15) that is the motor capacity of the unit - the lower the number, the more powerful a motor you can install later. All work with the motor in the kit.
Battery: The higher the number, the longer the run time.
Charger: Charge time is proportional to the battery you choose. Some examples - for the 1800 battery (others will take longer) - USB charger takes around 4 hours, Mid Speed around 2 to 3 hours, Etronix Fast Charger can be as quick as 60 minutes in the house or 30 minutes in the car and Ansmann Delta also around 30 minutes (and also works in the car).
