| description | hello there. as where wanting to make a nice video of the new and old SRB's together we needed a camcar. so we picked a Holiday buggy 2010, also some sort of re-issue. and as we know there are some big issue's with that car. We had figured out to get it more like the old one!
now first of all a sort of part list:
4x m3 screw 20mm
2x m3 screw 15mm
2x screwpin 32mm
2x ball connector 5mm
6x ballstud 5mm
6x spacer 3mm D=3mm
2x upperarm rod 49mm (make them your self!)
1x steering rod 68 (make this yourself
1x steeringrod 88 (use short steering rod for this one!)
2x shock 68mm
2x underarm DF-02
that are the parts. here is how i did it.
first, cut/grind the original shockmounts one hole down. then they wont stick above the shell, that's why you need the mini CVA shocks for the suspension! Drill the holes in the shocktower up to 3mm. and take a 20mm screw / 3mm spacer and ballstud and put that together.
now we move on to the suspension part.
mount the underarm as shown in pic. 4, on the sock tower side use the one supplied with the kit, to mount the C-hub, use the screwpin of 32mm and 2x a 3mm spacer on either side of the C-hub, also screw a ball connector in the lower arm for the shock.
then we mount up the upper arm, use a 15mm and a ball connector on the C-hub, the 20mm and ballconnector on the shocktower side and put the 49mm upperarm rod in place. (should be as pic. 6)
then mount on the shocks, make the steering rods and mount it to the chassis and tadaa
you're done.
comments welcome!

modification needed: mount the upperarm screw and ballconnecter the other way around on the shocktower, else its hitting the longer steering rod during suspension travel!
you'll need them 2x as it only contains one underarm per bag. goodluck!
Thanks for the number. I'll have to order some asap.
thanks for the comments, We've found the DF-02 underarms in a spare parts bag, number: 51077. We are on the hunt for some different wheels. thanks all.
That looks sweet Patrick. Do you have a part no for the Df02 arms?
This has to be the sweetest front end mod i have seen for this buggy. You solved the to wide problem and the shocks sticking through the body. Now why couldn't tamiya have done this to begin with? Nice work. Well done
Nice one...... Now fill those holes!
Excellent work, Patrick! Now why don't you try a different set of wheels and tires to make it look more scale? I hope you will upload some videos of this one running.
