The Racing Fighter makes its way to the X-SA (Expert-Semi-Assembled) series offering an all-around fun 2WD drive on off-road surfaces!

The Racing Fighter features long throw shock absorbers for tidy handling, spiked rear tyres and slotted front tyres for accurate road holding and a long 287mm wheelbase for stability.  The slim design is further enhanced by a north/south battery position, meaning there is nothing "sticking out" from the side of the car to spoil the sleek lines. This also has the advantage of keeping all weight totally central to the chassis which aids level flight for those moments when the wheels leave the ground intentionally or otherwise!
 
About the X-SA series
Kits are a big part of what Tamiya do, but they also understand that some people may not have the time or confidence for the assembly of an R/C model – that is why they have come up with the X-SA (Expert-Semi-Assembled) series of models. Each product features a fully-assembled and setup chassis with the TEU-105BK ESC (electronic speed control) included, plus a fully painted body with the marking stickers already applied. All you need to do is provide the R/C equipment and battery pack, install it, and you are ready to drive.  These are otherwise identical to the cars you would build yourself.

- 1/10 scale finished R/C model. Length: 400mm, width: 244mm, height: 134mm.
- Polycarbonate body and wing are pre-cut and pre-painted, with marking stickers applied.
- Ribbed front and square spike rear tyres.
- The DT-03 uses a tough monocoque frame. Big wheelbase (287mm) and tread (front: 221mm, rear: 208mm) measurements give it great performance on- and off-road!
- Front arms have 25-degree skid angle for stable off-road driving.
- Features a sealed rear gearbox with internal gear differential unit, plus a dust cover for R/C equipment.
- A wide range of option parts is available to tune and customize your DT-03 chassis car.
- Includes: TEU-105BK ESC (Electronic Speed Control)
- Requires separately sold: R/C equipment, steering servo, 7.2 volt battery pack and compatible charger.

Our X-SA Options: You can choose to purchase the car as is and fit radio equipment you already have.  Alternatively you can choose from our drop down options to add any of our standard radios (all come with a steering servo when purchased from this page), any of our standard batteries and any of our chargers, to make a complete package.

Fitting the radio equipment requires you to assemble the steering motor (Servo) head unit, screw that to the servo and fit the servo in the car.  The receiver is plugged in and stuck down.  It may be necessary to do a little dismantling (no more than 3 screws) before fitting the steering servo.
