【 Relive The Fun! 】 The 2WD R/C off-road car Holiday Buggy made its debut in 1980 and attracted many R/C fans due to its sprightly handling characteristics. Now, Tamiya is proud to release the updated Holiday Buggy (2010), which comes mounted on the proven DT-02 chassis. It features a 4-wheel double wishbone suspension, and its simple, durable construction makes for easy assembly. The durable soft resin body features a pre-painted driver figure wearing a cowboy hat for enhanced realism.
【 Fun-to-Drive DT-02 Chassis 】 The bathtub type frame chassis features a longitudinal battery layout for lower center of gravity and optimum weight distribution. 4-wheel double wishbone suspension is equipped with coil spring damped units to provide superb off-road traction. A sealed gearbox protects against sand and debris and is equipped with differential gears to efficiently transmit the power from the type 380 motor. By installing separately available Type 540 motor and corresponding pinion gear, more powerful driving can be enjoyed.
Durable front double wishbone suspension offers smooth movement. Grooved front tires enable superb handling.
Rear double wishbone suspension is equipped with spike tires to provide the car with an ample amount of traction.
Rear mounted type 380 motor offers a manageable power output. The sealed gearbox is equipped with differential gears.

Did I not tell ya’ll that this kit will be a great entry level 2WD buggy? 🙂
Oh, and I see that the front damper is upside down for the 2010 HB to sit on the DT-02 chassis. My 20:20 vision is a force to reckon with. 😉

are the dogbones plastic or metal dogbones? seems like plastic…
plastic ones will break easily.
so disappointing.
The standard DT-02 (Super Fighter G) has the same and if they don’t “break” (usually wear is a problem with plastic) with its RS-540S the chances that they will break with the RS-380S are very low 😉 Actually even most Tamiya TT01 have plastic dogbones and work fine. And for hopping up and using hot motors you can still add the ones from the higher spec DT-02 models. People should slowly get away from the old prejudice metal=robust & plastic=weak, everything is just a matter of dimensioning and materials, even sport cars like the Corvette have a “plastic” leaf spring.
