Overview
The Tamiya DN-01 SR is a 1/10 scale electric 2WD racing buggy chassis kit. It pairs the DN-01 platform with a set of hop-up parts chosen by Tamiya for more advanced driving. It is designed for off-road tracks and park running.
Tamiya includes a slipper clutch for stability, aluminum suspension mounts and an aluminum motor plate for durability, assembly universal shafts for efficiency, and hex hubs for a wider choice of wheels. The kit comes with the body and rear wing from the TRF201 race buggy. The motor is sold separately.

Usage Notes
