Very cool comparison. And an interestin result. Hadn't expect it

[@rc-dom-uk]

thanks buddy 😊👍

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hiya Dom. Great head to head you've done here. I do like both of these buggies and I'm not surprised that the Sand Viper won through. I think that the Wild One handling has more character and it's obviously got the lovely scale looks. Good stuff mate 😁👍

[@rc-dom-uk]

thanks pete . yeah the wild one does have unique handling and not in a crazy grasshopper way .think it’s very scale 😊👍

[@JoevsRc]

Nice! The Wild One did better then i thought

[@rc-dom-uk]

it certainly had a go of it 👍 thanks buddy

[@MarkBryanRC]

That was a great match, Dom! The Wild One looked the fastest but the stopwatch doesn't lie! I reckon the double wishbone suspension of the Viper was the clincher in the end. Loved the outtakes! Great entertainment, loving this series mate! 🤗🤗👌👌👍👍

[@rc-dom-uk]

thanks for watching mate . yeah i think the WO is a bit faster but like you say the suspension of the dt02 just kept the corners faster and smoothed the rough ground 👍

[@theoagrc]

The Wild One did really well in the end Dom. After the first leg I had the Sand Viper down for a huge winning margin! Great stuff dude 🙌🏻

[@rc-dom-uk]

thanks mate . i really wasn’t sure until the results were in . 😊👍

[@juliusdream2683]

I like that you get the RC,s going threw the dirt and grass.

[@rc-dom-uk]

thanks buddy 😊👍

[@HaydadRC]

While I was rooting for the Wild One, I had a feeling the Sand Viper would prevail! The Wild One certainly impressed on stage 3!
Nice work Dom!👍😊

[@rc-dom-uk]

thanks mate . yeah the wo put up a good fight 😊👍

[@rcjono]

That was close! Awesome race!

[@rc-dom-uk]

thanks buddy 😊👍

[@AddamsPlayground]

Another great head to head run Dom! This one was a pretty close one and the Wild One got a luck roll in there! Both looked great out there!

[@rc-dom-uk]

thanks buddy. i had no idea who was gonna win this one until i times the results. 😊👍

[@NoNoRc]

Sand viper is another, slightly underrated, buggy imo. It did really well dispute its low ground clearance. Wildone just looked like a lot of fun out there. Keep them coming 👍

[@rc-dom-uk]

thanks buddy. yes the SV is a great value kit and drives great . the wild one is a blast and one of my favourites. 😊👍

[@scaleworksRC]

Yesss, 80s goodness! Love it!

[@rc-dom-uk]

thanks for watching buddy 😊👍

[@MauzyrockRC]

Yes, I agree, the sand viper is certainly more planted, but the Wild one put up a good challenge!

[@rc-dom-uk]

thanks for watching mate 😊👍

[@Paul__FC]

Great stuff, Dom! I always stop in my tracks for the Wild One!
Some pretty sweet production work too!

[@rc-dom-uk]

cheers my mate 😊👍

[@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC]

Another great episode Dom.
Love the way you utilise the natural landscape to make up interesting tracks.
A fair few years between these two, but a surprisingly small gap time wise.
Those boys over at RCso&so done a very similar test last week, only theirs was on Tarmac..... and they hit a lot of cones!
But, a great video worth a watch if you haven't already seen it mate.
The old wild one certainly deserves some credit, and in my eyes it should get bonus points for how retro cool it looks! 😂
👍 👍 👍

[@rc-dom-uk]

i’ll check it out mate. the wild one is a great rc . looking for it’s first win . still it has the hoppers to race. 😂👍thanks for watching bud 😊👍

[@JF-RC]

[@coygtrc]

Nice comparison, closer than I thought 🤔🤝

[@rc-dom-uk]

thanks for watching 😊👍

[@herbieRCpaints53]

Nice one😎 , The Wild one maybe a bit slower but it looks Awesome
Excellent video mate 👍👍

[@rc-dom-uk]

thanks for watching mate and yeah the wild one is a looker 😊👍

[@hubdeep9452]

I've always loved the way the wild one looks. I'm wondering if there is a suspension upgrade available? It looked a little bouncy. Great video 👍

[@rc-dom-uk]

thankyou 😊👍 it’s a great buggy . im not sure about the suspension but probably 👍 its very light so it does bounce a bit 😊👍

[@hubdeep9452]

@@rc-dom-uk thanks for the reply. My finger is hovering over the buy button

[@rc-dom-uk]

no worries. i really like it . 😊👍

[@BasBoyRC]

I had the feeling the DT02 would win it, but closer than I would have thought.

[@rc-dom-uk]

i think the wild one is a tad faster on the tt than the viper but the suspension just works better on the dt02 unsurprisingly considering the age difference. thanks for watching bud 😊👍

[@Jaysqualityparts]

I think the ground clearance on the wild one helps

[@rc-dom-uk]

yeah massive clearance 👍

[@TheOriginalS1_C]

Red Bull!!!!!!!!!
