Hi great vid as always👍👍everyone secretly wants to know what there favorite RC car does mph wise!! People always ask if they go fast n is it petrol n when u say NO it's electric.... then the look of shock is brilliant every time. Oh PS I love the ta04 very similar other than ta05 has middle motor but both belt drive👍👍 very underrated touring car platform👍👍👍👍
G'day, Glenn! I agree, what an epic project! Really enjoyed the video! I am looking forward to seeing your Tamiya TA-05R, Speed Run Car - Project!! By the way... You have inspired me to start building a Tamiya shaft-driven TB-03 VDS chassis, comes with a 2.5mm thick carbon lower deck, aluminum gearbox braces to hold front/rear gearboxes, and Tamiya's very distinctive aluminum center brace to provide rigidity for chassis pitch. The Body will be Tamiya’s 58645 - 'Subaru WRX STI’ NBR Challenge! In addition, when I was looking at TamiyaData, and Tamiya dot Com... TRF Series no.24, High Performance Motor Transpeed Brushless 3.5T, Item No: 42124 with Adjustable Timing, Rebuildable... Normal voltage: 4.8 - 7.2 V, RPM: 72,000 rpm at no load / 7.2V, KV: 10,000 rpm at 1V, Power: 698 W, and the Efficiency: 0.89!! I'll simply say... very Impressive! (High Performance Speed Motor) Thank you very much! Cheers! 🏎✌🏼❤️
Darren Grimmer Yeah first time I’ve had my hands on one Darren, it’s a nice looking thing, if my body shell idea comes off, it’ll look pretty sweet 😬👊🏻
That's a lovely car Glenn. Really looking forward to this project. I've never really been into the speed run cars either, but that's generally when it involves ridiculous amounts of money and modifications that most people can't financially obtain or don't have the skills to fabricate. But this particular project really interests me because it's realistically inclusive. I'm confident you'll hit the 70mph ☺
Eddie Bottoms Thanks Eddie, yes it has to be affordable otherwise I wouldn’t do it. Wether I’ll take it all the way through to a silly brushless motor remains to be seen, but with the stuff I have already it should be pretty cool 🤩👊🏻
I keep looking at the chassis and am seeing a second motor each one belt attached to one end. 4S split into 4 parts in the corners for perfect distribution. Micro servo up front and maybe even mechanical speedo. Minimal weight and maximum trouser arousal. 😬
If you're going to go really quick I think you need foams. As in foam wheels. Normal unbelted rubber wheels will probably baloon and make the car a bit... tricky.. to drive :P Don't take my word on it but don't be surprised if it becomes an issue! It's gonna be a sweet car! :P
Roger Skagerström Thanks Roger, yes I’ll be changing to foams once the speed starts to build with the quicker motors 🚗💨💨 Thanks for watching my friend 👊🏻
Really cool project Glenn. Looking forward to see how she progresses. I’m the same re speed, just goes way over my head but kudos to all who proliferate. Big raspberry to the single numpty who gave the film a thumbs down. Get over yourself. 😊👍🏻
Dave Pearce Lol the thumbs down brigade are a strange lot Dave 😂 I wouldn’t mind if they left a comment stating why I or the video suck! But they never do, the obvious get I kick out of it 😬
Looking forward to the outcome, Glenn. IMO the TA05 is clearly the best affordable touring chassis, especially for high speeds🤩 Personally never had any issues and way better than my TA06. My TA06 just won't run a straight line: trimm it straight at low speed, it'll curve at high speed... Trimm it at high speed and it will curve at low speed 🤯🔫
a wing that small wont do much you need more surface area or look more in to ground effect a better front and rear defuser will do more then that little wing. also you would want to wing to be connected do the tube or its just going to be drag and deform the body shell
Elios0000 Great points my friend, I’m guessing as the speeds go up, I’ll have to change the shell and also go to foams tyres. But I’ll stick with this set up until that time comes. Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
Hi, fun video. The front one way won’t be good for speed runs, for one thing you will only have rear brakes. As for the Tamiya 3.5t motor it has a real high KV rating, my Tekin redline 4.5t motor is 9350kv & can’t run on 3s, it’s a 2s 7.4v motor. To get the most out of your 5900kv motor (check first if that motor is rated for 3s, some are not) you should run a 120amp esc. Or what I run on my TC4 factory team is the Castle MMP & 1406 5700kv motor, I’m achieving 110kph probably if I fit a larger pinion I could get ever higher top end speed, of course keeping an eye on motor temperature. Also I’ve had better luck with foam tires for high speed runs, no centrifugal ballooning. Cheers
Hi mate I've got an idea for you get a mf 01x chassis put the short wheel base shaft on it and then put the Chrome midnight pumpkin shell on it ....hey presto a four wheel drive chrome low rider looks great drifting.
Might wanna upgrade the rear diff to a gear diff (#54312), maybe even with #54311 and #54428 if you're planning to put crazy power into it. With a 37T diff in the rear and a 36T in the front it's probably hard on the tires but should drive like on rails. Has anyone ever tried putting different ratios on front and rear?
Sj Dz Yes it’s available on eBay I believe from China, you don’t get the proper plastic wing with it though 😞. But the shell is really nice, checkout my video build on the TL-01 Honda Castrol Mugen NSX I did, you’ll see just how nice it is my friend 🤩🤩🤩
Nice 😎👍🏻 I’m still working on my TA05 speed run. So far 9T hobby wing Brushless with some gearing tweaks on 3s I’m at 88km / hr . It had a lot more on it. Just can’t keep it straight enough to hit max full throttle for long enough
Speed=more likes!!!, New body shell is ten times better and it makes the faux American muscle car look like a duplo brick!!!! Hmm I wonder if tamiya does an EDF?
@@TAMIYALegends I'm also wondering if there's a knight rider shell???lol. I put your accent somewhere between huddersfield and Leeds? I was thinking in a previous video it's a bit sunny for round here,lol
About the Transpeed - If it's this one ( www.1999.co.jp/itbig09/10099928a_m.jpg )... That's a rebranded Nosram Pure Evoultion. And that I think is based on a Reedy design. Really old motors. Got a 4.5T Octawind on sale here in Sweden for around 35 euro. I have a Hobbywing BL120 and it's undriveable xD Need new wheels and stuff. I know that you want the Tamiya branded stuff. But .. Yeah just so you know. As I said they are really old. Bought them from a store run by the Swedish importer that had Reedy back then. Not sure if Nosram is a thing over the pond, but if you keep an eye out you might find one :P

Great video Glenn. The shells going to look stunning. Looking forward to part 2. 👍🏻👍🏻

I wanted them to keep the black can to fit the hornet one day if I get one again.

The more rigid the chassis better chance to reaching higher top speeds. And better handing.

You are going to need a front adjustable splitter dive planes four straight line stability.

But you should be into high speed it is awesome.

Do you plan to get one day a Tamiya TRF onroad Chassis ? The early ones must be already Vintage too . Trf 414 - 415 ? ☺

Yes eventually I hope to, have to wait until summer now though my friend 👊🏻
Great job, did the center motor position make a big difference?

Glenn can you still buy this NSX body anywhere? Had an original Tamiya one back in the day but stupidly took it racing....lasted 2 races....

Keep that brushless motor.
You would be right. And it is belt driven and what brushless motor in it?

Be safe get 200amp ESC to reach the highest speeds.
Brad Kalman
Agreed Brad, going to need something more meaty 😎👊🏻
You are going to need more aerodynamic body then that one. To reach higher speeds.
Brad Kalman
Yeah eventually I’ll swap the shell and tyres when the speeds start to get up there 🚗💨💨
I think using the term 'bling' to identify any project is rather dangerous as it applies to petty much everything you do :)
duff duff
Yes that’s a fair point my friend 😂👊🏻
Ditch the esc and motor and wack a hobbywing max 5 in it 😂😂
