You Should Buy a Tamiya G6-01!!

- The Tamiya G6-01 is a real oddball chassis, with an emphasis on fun-over-function.
A weird chassis, with a weird drivetrain... that's an absolute hoot to drive.
Classic Tamiya!

Thanks for the video and shout out Bud. Such a cool build, can't wait to see it in action. Nice work👍👍
No worries!
The G6-01 is awesome. I love mine, too.
Hope the one who had put the bearings in the bag made a mistake an pput one too many in it.
The Camel stickers are great for a school bus🤣🤣🤣
For dirt tracks 4WS is fun, but I don't run brushless. So I cannot speak for high speeds.
I also hope so! Seems that way.
Yeah, I look forward to trying it on dirt.
Haha l would love to try this on the beach! Nice one and well said Mike😉👍
Now, there's an idea!
@@TheRCScotsman ✌🤩
Woof, I do fancy one of those, now and again I see it going on sale, so next time I may pull the trigger! 👍 Thanks for the info on it
Do it! You won't regret it. They're such a laugh!
That thing would make a great APC
Now, THAT'S a great idea! Get to it!
Hiya from across the pond, I'm a little late to the party but had to share: your enthusiasm made me pull the trigger on buying one for myself! "Just buy it" he says. "Aye Captain" my reply!
I love a goofy RC: my Eachine EAT14, WPL D12, and Comical Grasshopper will never sit with the _Cool Kids_ during lunch, but I drive them way more than any of the serious cars!
My bearing kit beat the slow boat from China carrying the Bus, as did the shocks and sway bars, leaving me with time to think about 4WS: what parts will I need to implement that, good sir? I'll be installing two FPV cameras and a flight controller (for ArduRover waypoints, and full 'riding in a Bus' experience) and will need to navigate some tight turns in my office. Or do you think standard steering will do?
Greetings and welcome! Good man!
I absolutely agree. I had an Arrma Vorteks. Ran it a few times and then sold it. It didn't gel with me. My Lunch Box... had it for years!
Everything you need for 4WS is included. You just need a servo and a way of powering/controlling it (independent radio channel, or simply a splitter cable).
That's fantastic idea! I'd love to see the results. Honestly, I find 2WS more than enough, because she steps-out really easy. Bit of power and round she goes! However, it's up to you and cheap to try. Have fun!
I've got cool upgrades on mine
Like what? Also how durable has it been after all this time?
Greetings!
Hello there!
Oh yeah I love the G6-01's. I've got the Volvo Hauler and Konghead. I've also got the GF-01 Dump Truck and I could do a video of it with the Volvo like you say. I think that the metal bearings will wear better than the bushings and you'd have big problems if the gears aren't meshing properly because the bushings are worn. I've done the rear steer and really recommend it because it's a whole new driving experience and you can steer under power and going up steep hills. I broke the bumper mount in about 5 minutes and I've done a mod to use a Lunchbox bumper which is on my channel somewhere (one with the Konghead and one slightly different on the Dump Truck). You still get the bounce so don't worry. Great overview Mike 🙂
Jeez, your Tamiya collection!! Yeah, that's a good point. Hopefully, he doesn't have any issues.
That surprises me about the rear steer, as I found it changes direction well and is already prone to toppling. Hmm... I'll have to take a look at that, because I cannot risk losing the badoing!
🧐💯❤. Thank you for your advice/help! 🤔 I’m thinking, maybe utilizing some spacers under the front suspension only would help with nosediving?
Would a ceramic bearing kit have any advantages/benefit over the regular bearing kit in terms of friction?
Thanks for your input, I’m trying to figure out how/what are the best modifications to add/ address to the initial build,( before as to avoid the hassle of tear down).
I am going with a Kong Head.
You're very welcome! Sorry for the late reply.
It would, but I actually adore the way this drives and wouldn't change a thing about it.
Technically, yes, but I wouldn't pay the extra money for ceramic bearings on a basher RC. Much less a silly truck like this. I'd only consider that for a race car.
Initial build: rubber shielded bearings (or, metal shielded in the gearbox and rubber elsewhere) and oil-filled shocks. It's a hoot to drive and I'm sure you'll love it. Enjoy!
Hey mate great video i just purchased the king yellow recently just finished building it yours sounds like it has metal gears if you don’t mind me asking is it and where did you get them
Hi there. Thank you!
Mine is using all the standard gears, apart from the RW Racing steel pinion. You get that from Modelsport. The only upgrades, apart from the pinion, are a full bearing kit, oil shocks and foam tyre inserts. The rest is standard.
@@TheRCScotsman thanks was curious I should’ve boughten the bearing kit before assembling mine haven’t even painted it yet cause i need paint but don’t wanna use tamiya i know what’ll happen if I don’t though
@@evanwillard2811 There are other good brands of paint. I've had (mostly) good experiences with Fastrax paint. However, say Tamiya paint is the best, even though the cans are small.
Probably the only difference that there will be is in the runtime Mike, as the bearing kit will have slightly less drag.
Could well be the case, David.
I have a Tamiya big yellow
Just finished putting my Konghead together with a 3500kv traxxas set up.
Did you have to glue your tires? I should probably just do that, but if your's stayed on, maybe mine will too lol
Yes, I glued them on, but not all the way round. Just spots every little while. Perfectly adequate for this type of thing.
@@TheRCScotsman just ran it for the first time, honestly I don't think I need any glue. Mine has a 3500 kv motor and it doesn't seem anywhere even close to flinging the tires off.
What I did order today tho, was some foam inserts.
Off topic, my mom's side of the family is from Scotland (Dad's was from Ireland) and I've always wanted to come see your country. In spite of having lived in Southern California my entire life, I'm not a fan of the sunshine (go figure hahah)
That thing is flipping awesome!!! But if I order one, I'll be living in the garden, as my wife would divorce me!! 😂👍🏻
It's _fiiiiiine!_
@@TheRCScotsman you say that now!!! 😂👍🏻
@@roblowrie1969 you must of married the wrong one. My Mrs built a midnight pumpkin and she brings that out when I go bashing lol
Mike, is there any scope to use this chassis for your Tonka RV conversion project?
Hmm... well, I already have a chassis for that, buuuut... It could possibly fit! MIGHT lose the scale aspect, though!
Yeah, man, I enjoy your talk videos! Must be the Scottish accent and your sense of humour, I usually get bored with long talk videos.
Yeah, you're right, it's good fun and people should get one!
Ha ha, at least you were drunk when you built yours, I think I was mostly sober, but damn, I hated putting it together!
And to make me 100 percent certain mine was cursed, first time I took it for a blast, not one but two bearings seized, one wheel bearing from Fast Eddy, and the other was the bearing in the brushless motor, damn...
I kept being unlucky, on my second time out, I broke a wheel (on video)... I hate those wheels, I plan to lower mine and put buggy wheels for the summer...
I can't badoing mine, I'm using the smaller bumpers, works alright, I think...
If you want, check it out, I have a video with mine, should be okay fun to watch...
Fast Eddy bearings ..💩 very low quality. Dunno why people think they're good 🤣
Thanks Cosmo. I guess I am finding out the hard way. I thought they were good value, but apparently not... I have actually stopped buying from them, but that was because of the import taxes... But now I know they might not be the best...
@@madsrcbuggy Thanks for that, I'm glad you enjoy the videos!
Are you UK based? RCbearings.co.uk is the place to go. But, yeah, sounds like you've been unlucky.
YOU CAN'T BADOING??? What's the point if you can't badoing?? Get badoinging!
Sure, I'll check yours out. Cheers!
