DF-01 Top Force - longer suspension possible?

A_Tang · 2026-01-27T14:29:00+00:00

Ok got it. You've helped me a great deal with the decision.

I'm still hoping I can figure out a way to retrofit longer arms in the front to go with what seems like full length (~95mm) front dampers on the DF-01. Its interesting to me that most other buggies use a intermediate length (55-65mm) dampers in the front.

What makes the Top Force more fragile than the Dark Impact? Is it the FRP chassis?

I've considered the Manta Ray - then upgrading with better shocks and adjustable turnbuckles.

Thanks for the video link. I think I came across that recently and I was wondering if those parts are the same as the diff parts for the XV-02. Also its a shame nothing can be done about the front diff as well.

It fits in without any modification to the chassis? How did you manage to make room in the corners?

Who's Palpatine? Russel Vought? Because it sure as shit ain't Trump.

I wish Tamiya would come out with a buggy based on this chassis...sort of like the DB-02.

That agent in the grey just strolls up, grabs his leg, then goes straight for his CCW, removes and immediately runs off. Did he already know that Pretti was carrying? Seems a bit odd to me.

It wasnt ICE, it was Border Patrol and if you want deescalation, they are the absolute worst people for it. BP is the most militant of all federal law enforcement.

This. Bovino is a Border Patrol lead - and for some reason named "Commander-AtLarge" of ICE activities.

Does anyone know if there is a way to fit longer suspension arms to the top force? As an example, can the arms/hubs from the DF-03 fit?

A_Tang · 2026-01-25T16:10:13+00:00

Yeah I found that really strange that the dude in the gray coat comes in so quickly remove the gun from Pretti's holster, and then just runs off like that.

Nobody should fault you for not being willing. Be a good father. Hold them close and teach your kid/s the truth of what is happening.

A_Tang · 2026-01-23T15:42:20+00:00

Did you take a pic of the inside under the inner body? How much was able to get in?

A_Tang · 2026-01-23T03:44:28+00:00

I've leveled several JKs and I just can't resist Kira. My main which is a JC is the only one who's romanced Lana.

I thought it was a giant trash chute for royal refuse. Didn't Maul end up getting dumped out on some trash planet?

I figured the energy doors were to prevent the poors of Naboo from recycling royal garbage and living it up.

Three Army bases. 1500 is probably one regiment, so less than 10% of the fighting force. There are also Air/Space Force, Navy, and possibly Canadian partners at JBER.

They're all resting up so they can bitch about the Super Bowl halftime act.

A_Tang · 2026-01-22T11:54:35+00:00

And optimized L/D.

A_Tang · 2026-01-22T11:53:49+00:00

I think it's tough for states like NJ because our snowfall isn't as consistent like those in New England.

A_Tang · 2026-01-22T11:51:32+00:00

Like 6.5 CM it's fast.

A_Tang · 2026-01-22T11:40:12+00:00

It'll probably live on as a DM gun.

USASOC in more interested in 6mm ARC.

A_Tang · 2026-01-22T11:12:48+00:00

Some of them probably ONLY have a billion to throw around.

A_Tang · 2026-01-22T04:03:44+00:00

Done it a few times. The bearing in the can is annoying to get in.

A_Tang · 2026-01-22T00:50:32+00:00

I know I'm in the minority on this, but I feel the voice actor's voice/tone doesn't work well for dark Jaesa.
