XV-02 Time lapsed build video-
• TIME LAPSE WITH SUBTITLES
XV-01 video, 1 of many- • IS XV-01 FUN?
XV-02 Pro initial thoughts video before release- • I CANT BELIEVE THEY DI...
I think the diff is the same as the one that comes with the TT02 Type SR
I believe you are correct
I love that Tamiya is finally releasing new and original chassis! Rally is a segment that sees little love so it's cool Tamiya is keeping it alive
Know alot of people who have doubts about the plastic internals diffs. But honestly: my XV-01 has been running a 4000kv brushless system on 3S for 2 years now, without any problems.
I put my servo wire behind the alloy bracket, there is space and it works a treat. My friend pointed it out to me, will not rub on shaft anymore.
Caster blocks come from DB01/ TRF501.. Great video.. Same here on servo...I ended cutting 3.5mm carbon spacers
Just finished my build yesterday, just a few stickers left. As a complete beginner when it comes to building rc, I found the instructions so easy to follow and it went together like a dream. Great video. Now look forward to a good blast over my local field.
Right on very cool! will you share some video of the experience?
I can certainly try.
Thanks for the presentation Rex. So many input, I'll keep my comment dowon to two points.
It's a little bit disturbing Tamiya made a car without a body and put the posts to spots that don't fit to existing bodies.
Yes, engineers/designers and mechanics live in different worlds, sometimes galaxies. So here it's usual for many producers to put the battery in the trunk and the engine in the front (not kidding).
Over all the VX-02 is a great chassis.👍
Shaft vs. belt. Belt is a little bit smoother and has less wear. But it takes more maintenance afterwards to keep up the right tension. So for me shafts are more interesting than belts.
Lovely video Rex! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us all. I am not sure how I am going to set mine up yet but I do have that centre diff on the way for the future. Looking forward to seeing your running video dude 👍🏻🙌🏻
Dude I love your videos. You convinced me to order a M08 and now I am tempted to pick up a XV01
Thank you for the feedback! Check out the xv-02
Thanks for putting all that together Rex! Being new to the rally car scene I don't know much about any of them really and only have the experience from the one car (which was wonderful!) so getting insight from you is very helpful. I am looking forward to the run video and seeing what you thoughts are about this one. I am hoping later this year they release a full kit on this chassis and I may pick one up. I am hoping they release it as a standard kit minus all the hop-up parts to reduce the price a tiny bit but we'll see. Seeing they just raised prices across the board on kits I may be out o luck in those hopes!
lolololol....TT-01's and TT-02's are in a level far away from these two XV cars, i wish very much for you to be able to feel what i mean
Bunch of carbon and blue bits on the way for mine. Can't wait.. also considering Ti to drop some weight...drove mine around with the optional center diff and it really moves
I am looking forward to a center diff in the future, thank you for the tip
I have the front spool I'm gonna have to try out one day as well
I enjoyed the video, Rex. looking forward tom your channel.
Awesome, thank you!
A full day to build a XV02 pro? I know I'm not a genius but it took me about 3 hours... (with a pause for coffee, of course. I'm no person without coffee) Maybe after 30 years of building Tamiya kits, I'm too used to it.
Anyways, yours came out pretty well, congrats!👍👍👍
yeah... i was taking my time, lots of breaks in between, distraction with youtube videos...lol you know how it goes Im sure . how do you take your coffee
great video REX! Looking forward to see it run.
thanks, was there any info I shouldve covered that i didnt?
@@rexrcs I think you covered it all! Very interesting with all the tecnical details.
Great stuff as always Rex, I'm tossed on this chassis, guess I'll wait to see what others think of it. (RUN IT MAN!!!!)
thanks!
Thanks for sharing this!
nice review! that battery slot looks like a pain ! and that dust cover with the huge opening in the front....whats the point?
the slot has proven to be less of a pain than I anticipated, the dust cover works well as long as its not super fine dry conditions
Hi Rex, a great review of the XV-02 chassis. I am lucky enough to have a XV-01 yet to build and looking forward to a challenging Tamiya chassis. I’m liking the look of the XV-02 chassis. I like the chassis cover, time will tell, how the front section of the cover protects the chassis from the enviable dust and dirt. Take care and best wishes to you and the family 😉😁😊
I am anxious to hear your thoughts on the xv-01 once you've built it, it is a very different style of kit in comparison to the cars I see in your intro. cheers!
@@rexrcs hi Rex, oh yes, I’m looking forward to building the Lancia Delta Integrale too. I will let you know how I get on for sure. I’m just finishing a great little Tamiya Beetle, then I think I’ll have a challenge of building the XV-01 next. I find it so satisfying building and painting them up to look nice. 😁😉😊take care and best wishes to you and the family 😁😉😊
@@JF-RC i too very much enjoy the build, if I didnt run them so much Id put more effort into details, the beetle is a really nice model also, I have yet to experience an orv chassis so I look forward to seeing yours
@@rexrcs hi Rex, I’ve build the classic ORV chassis,with the Subaru Brat. It’s an awesome chassis, considering it’s aged design. My Subaru Brat is my favourite vintage Tamiya, mine is the re-release version, with both the hard and lean bodies. But I remember the original well, hence had to get the re-release to relive those 80’s moments I had as a young teen 😁😊 Take care and best wishes to you all. 😁😊😊🇨🇦🇬🇧
Nice video. I have a XV-01 and I am on the fence about getting a XV-02.
They are quite different vehicles and I hope you get to try both but if you are not looking for the absolute fastest lap times, the xv-01 is still very fine and fun but the xv-02 is much much easier to work on
looks like a really nice kit, planning a rally build myself but went the TT-02 route which will take some mods and tinkering but gone try and make it a poor man's XV-02 :P (I don't have any other RC cars or anything like that it'll probably be my only one and might not see much use so splashing on a XV-02 just seems unjustifiable as just the cassis is what I currently have planned + electronics + hopup parts)
TT-02 subaru 22b monte carlo and a 97 celica GT-4 body + rims on the way (honestly if I couldn't have sourced a celica body I probably wouldn't even be building one, love that car even if it was cought cheating, and I couldn't find a nice widebody MK4 supra or a AE86 Trueno body which would have been option B and C, love me some toyota's :P).
now the tough quest of picking what hop-up parts will allow me to emulate a XV-02's setup as best I can on a budget...not tossing 80 bucks at dampeners :P but that will be clearen when I have the TT-02 put together and can see what I would like to change/be able to adjust (first step is probably dampener arm's/dampeners to get the springs more upright rather then diagonal, not sure that's whats best but they did with the XV's so....)
setup is a very deep topic, with many factors, but typically speaking the upright shocks allow more initial roll of the vehicle, maing it slower to respond and easier to drive but increases grip on loose surfaces...many other factor involved though. the TT-02 can be made to have more travel and much more free moving suspension, but its geometry with the stock arms (NON SR or SRX) just doesnt work to its full potential, so I made a video of my rwd TT-02 porsche and how i increased suspension travel and increased ground clearnce, check it out
How does this compare to the wr8 flux for bashing purposes? Worth getting over the wr8?
Hi! Thanks for stopping by to chat, in my opinion this xv-02 is not really intended for bashing, although much fun could be had. The hpi wr8 “seems” like a more bash worthy model considering the 1/10the scale off road truck/buggy style chassis and suspension setup, lots of suspension travel and very plush for multi terrain, also much bigger than the xv-02. I feel like the xv-02 leans more towards spec racing. This is all said with the term “bashing” meaning high jumps, unreasonable non scale speeds, and lots of full throttle. If fun is what you want you cant go wrong with either i feel. I’ll get my wr8 running maybe in the fall and talk about it…no promises yet
@@rexrcs Good stuff, thank you. Love the reviews btw.
@@rexrcshi, did you have a chance to compare both? I am debating myself whether to get an XV-02 or the WR8. So far leaning towards the tamiya due to the tinkering side of it, which one do you like better?
@@shaoranrch hi and thanks for stoping in, both vehicles can be tuned and tinkered with, however the wr8 is a better one and done car overall for the general rc enthusiast. The xv-02 being much smaller is limited to where it can run, in my opinion. Do you have a fairly flat grounds where you can play with the xv-02?
@@rexrcs thank you for the reply. I currently have a modded rally Tt02, I guess I will keep using that one and purchase the hpi wr8, it really looks like the better more realistic one
Great informative video! I’ll have to get a proper rally chassis someday. 👍🙌
they truly are different but having a place to run them is crucial, i see people run them on "A" sized gravel and thats like a real car driving on lawn rocks lol
This is a great video!
when you put the 39 différential and the 40 differential , you must put the central différential or not ? because i build it to but i dont know
You can but you dont have to
Funny you said that it is built like a European car. I thought the same thing when back when I built my XV-01 TC Pro. Reminded me of a BMW.
Exactly the reference i was making 👌 you know precisely 😁
Now build a TC-01
I wsh i wish i could... hoping that one day later in the years they will release some different body options, I'm in love with the chassis design but Im not keen on that body they have now, i do like the look of formula e but I dont want to pay to own the one out now
@@rexrcs Luckily for you, the TC01 comes with the mounts for a normal TC body as well.
@@RFVCXR200R youtuber “MAN TA” made a rally version a while back and that interested me a lot
First friend
dude, get a better mic.
For sure
