That’s what I was thinking mine came with the pogo sticks I used some 4 tec 2.0 shocks I had lying around , some fast Eddy bearing and a mild Hobbywing brushless system , I still need to finish 2 XV01’s and a TT02SR and I just got a TC01 I can’t stop buying Tamiya’s.
YES! But unfortunately some people think that since it’s plastic it’ll break easily, it won’t! You can even buy aluminum upgrade parts for it! And sometimes people expect some parts that aren’t included or needed. (Looking at you horizon hobby Tamiya NSX review. Someone thought that the TT-02 kits came with rubber inserts for the tires)
yes, as as modell in real scale the MB 190 W201 is an iconic car, if you can grab one ;) here around is a 2.5 5-Zylinder Diesel just need 5,6 l/100km 30 years old now, over 500.000km and just kompression like on the first day ! yes a litle bit dreaming when i see such a model =) ) ---> even virtuell --> ruclips.net/video/46RT47T4D18/видео.html
Also have a TT02 and build a TT01E with a friend. They are pretty similar, also in price. Funny how these things work out sometimes: I assumed the TT02 was the sucessor and therefor has to be better in every way. But there are details I like better on the TT01E while other things I think the TT02 does better. Upgrade parts are widely avaiable for both and they are relatively cheap as well. The (German) online shop I bought the TT02 at, they actually have upgraded kits. For like 30 bucks more you can get it with ball bearings as well as a Hobbywing Razer 3000kv/50A combo (which is ~50$ here). Since I already had some LiPos lying around I chose that. I also opted for an aluminum main shaft right from the start - mainly because it looks cool. Later I also got an aluminum steering rack, adjustable steering rods and CVDs. In the beginning I wanted to build the TT02 to be a tarmac drifter. But two things about that: This gets expensive *fast* as you shred those plastic tires like crazy. And I never thought the chassis behaved realistically. Maybe if you would upgrade to a one-way diff in the front it would have gotten better, as it would be easier to unsettle the rear during braking. But then you would also need a higher steering angle and a few other things to really make it into a drifter. And given that you can pickup dedicated drift chassis for around 100 bucks (3Racing Sakura D3 shortly after the D4 came out) it doesn't make all that much sense. I still want a drifter so bad. But I have nowhere to drift it. So I'll probably end up buying a (used) Slash 4WD instead and give my 2WD to my nephews. We bought and build them DT-03 for christmas (they are 6 and 8 now) and the chassis is so much fun to build and surprisingly capable offroad. They have low clearance but as most of the weight is in the back, the rear wheels just push the buggy over grass and small obstacles without any problems. But my nephews are always after the Slash. And I really like the DT-03. I will probably just take on of theirs and upgrade the hell out of it. Just for the fun of "wrenching" on those small buggies.

Building a Tamiya was what got me into RC. Its still my favourite thing to do. The build is satisfying, and the cars are FUN... And that's the main thing 👍🏴
Agreed! my first rc car was a tamiya DF02 plasma edge which i got when i was 6 ! I built it myself and ive since gotten back into the hobby around a year ago and my newer tt02 is still one of my favourite builds !
@@desterse3948 Nice! I always fancied one of those Plasma Edge ones they looked so good! My first was a Lunchbox build. I have added mods to it and all sorts over the years. Love it! Did u enjoy the TT02 build? I built a Neo Scorcher for my son, I'm sure that was on the TT02 chassis? Such a great build. It's the foundation of RC for me. Once you do it like we do, then it's not the same to just take one out the box and run it👌🔧🔩⚙️
Time Well Spent ayy nice!! Yeh the plasma edge has been bashed alot by my young self and had many part replacements but still goes well to this day! Yes the tt02 is probably in my opinion tamiyas best all round chassis. Ive drifted, raced and bashed my tt02 (albeit the s type) and its served me well. The neo scorcher is a tt02 derived chassis yes being the tt02b (i know this as it was my mates first rc car and i helped him build it). yeh building them is awesome! ive since bought a hobao hyper 7 nitro rtr buggy and it needed alot of work to get it to a decent bashing level but i feel building it from a kit wouldve been alot better. Still im so glad the rc hobby is having a boom everywhere at the minute. Was very worried about its state here in the uk.
@@desterse3948 Yes that's right it's the TT02b chassis. I haven't tried any of the others though I've always fancied one of the S versions and to do a bit drifting with them. Great chassis. Really versatile. You have to love Tamiya for what they are. What is that Hoboa Hyper? I haven't heard of that I'll check it out. I always fancied a Tamiya Pajero Rally. I think they look SO cool. I would want to put a faster motor in, maybe brushless, and really rally the thing around, not slow like u see the videos of them. Dakar style! Yeah RC companies have nailed it now so it's no wonder it's back on the up. I think Arrma are UK aren't they? Its companies like them that are adding to the trend 👍🇬🇧
Time Well Spent yeh only got into drifting recently and on the right surface its endless fun!! The hobao hyper is a 1/8 nitro buggy similar to kyosho inferno mp9 etc etc. I think that pajero is a rock crawler which is why theyre always going slow. My dad looked into it as he loves his pajeros (hes had several old and new) I believe arrma are american but theyre hugely popular in the uk! That’s actually my next car to save for, an arrma big rock! 😄👍🤟
I just bought the Audi 2000 TT01E, got loads of hop ups for it and a Ford Escort MK2 body shell, painted in the HEAT rally scheme, also got a set of 3D printed RS wheels with Pirelli tyres for it. Done the trimming mods for longer suspension travel as it’s gonna be rallied lol 😂 oh, almost forgot, i got a brushless system for it to. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧
I’ve subscribed and been watching your channel with my kids I’ve several months now. First, you keep your language clean. A lot of guys with RC channels don’t. -well done- Second, your reviews cover everything across the pricing spectrum. RC is a complex and expensive hobby. Not everyone can afford the high end stuff, and not everybody can handle the complexity. You give honest reviews for the products and compare them to other products on the same level, (not against the “best/most expensive”) and your tech sessions speak to everyone, not just seasoned hobbyists. -again: we’ll done- We just unboxed an ECX Amp, based off of watching several reviews and recommendation on this channel. I showed the kids how to run it, and they never gave the transmitter back. We couldn’t be happier! -Thanks!-
I watched a simple challenge on a Japanese channel that got so many entries. They took two water bottles about 3 meters apart and timed the how long it took to do x amount of figure 8’s with a simple yellow line denoting the start and finish line. So simple and such a good way to learn to drive.
Purchased this as a gift for myself last Christmas Zakspeed eclass. Enjoyed the build, basic hop-ups. Tamiya kits can really teach you stuff about RC cars. Recently got a non-working chinese brand 1/18 basher for free which had almost same basic layout as the tt01. Helped alot during restoration process and now it is runner.
Wowww.. Tamiya is always very reliable with nice Rc affordable drift vehicles as I do have two tt01 type E or TT02 chassis and are very fun to drive around
Cool car! I've always been interested in rc stuff but didn't know much about it. Me & the kids were getting a bit stir crazy being stuck at home so I got a used slash & exceed rock crawler. We are really having fun with them. I absolutely love working on them. Great video Sir!!
I wish I'd got into this hobby sooner in life. Picked myself up a Terra Scorcher a few months ago and love it. Unfortunately I've kind of thrashed it a tad too much and it could now with a new body and the motor is awaiting an upgrade.
Hi Greg when I saw the video first time I could imagine that I actually will buy and build the Mercedes Always my favorite model 190E elegant, compact, sport MB Well my friends built a Subaru rally, a Porsche 911 Mercedes Class C and a Datsun so I joined them with this car also my tribute to Michael Schumacher my all time hero who drove this car on the European championship Thank you for the inspiration
Are most brushless ready, can you just buy a brushless motor and ESC with deans connectors for lipo because Tamiya plugs suck. Are most of the Tamiya onroad kits able to run on a lipo powered brushless system?
I run a 50 c 2s on my grasshopper with that same speed controller I do add a thing to see when the battery gets to a point when you should stop but it will run a lipo.
bought a TT01... currently building my own handmade Alu chassis... like a hot rod... and redoing the steering since I want a drifter.... It is a sickness! Lol
I got one myself in december and while I know there are much better options I've started making it a drifter and oh my god is it ever fun! And better than the internet wants it to be because I can easily keep up with my friend's Sakura D4 :P
Hello RCDriver_Online! I am relatively new to the rc hobby ( have been learning about it for about 2 weeks ) and was wondering which car you would recommend: A Traxxas Slash or a Traxxas Rustler! Thank you!
I had both, and the Rustler is a ton more fun and a lot more versatile. If you wanna go onroad mostly you'll need some other tires, but apart from that, it's good out of the box.
I really love the Tamiya line but I hate the body mount holes. The body posts take tons of looks to the finished body. Magnetic mounts are the way to go. 🤨
Either will work. What’s good about the Tamiya is building the kit. They also have a lot of options for it and body styles. And when life gets back to normal, take a look to see if there are any TCS races near you.
4-Tec if you just want a good rtr and straight out the box fun Tamiya if want to work on your car get to know the hobby you can also make the Tamiya faster and better for same price off the 4-tec you just got to put in the work them. Great for scale stuff rallying rallycross drift or touring even speed runs the tt01 is pretty versatile kit just depends on what u want. Tt01 kits start from $100 - 150 but the 4-tec is about $250
@@philthyco1 I guess I should have been more clear, what I meant was it's hard to get individual OEM spare Tamiya parts, it's super annoying to me to have to buy entire Parts trees when I only need one of the parts on the tree, whereas with Traxxas I can order a single Kingpin if I need one, I like to keep my tamiya's all OEM when practical. Not downplaying Tamiya at all I love them I just wish they had better part support for individual OEM parts.
@@philthyco1 yeah I see what you mean, as far as the parts trees though most of the time it seems like I find myself consistently needing just one piece so I have tons of extras left over that I never use, yeah I also tried to get a hold of Brian about the servo but he never got back to me and the buggy shipped already, no big deal thanks again for turning me onto imex stuff!
Yup. They are friction dampers. I had this chassis once upon a time. I know for a fact if the kit came with oil shocks the price of the kit would sky rocket
I started with tamiya. They are too expensive compared to Chinese now though. WPL has become my kit build interest. I wanted to buy my son a Wild Willy or Jimny but the kit costs more than RTR for the likes of maverick which are HPI brand. As long established now paid for products I don’t see why they should cost anything like they do, at least for the none posh plastic kits.
I know this is 9 Month old, but seriously a wpl is not comparable. i have a C24 as well as a Axial SCx24 and i had to invest alot into tuning parts to get a decent car out of the WPL so that in total it was even more expensive than the Axial but is still a worse car... WPLs get very heavy when you put metal parts onto them, but the stock plastic is of very bad quality compared to the fiber reinforced plastics of the axial. So my advice is think of the total price you are going to pay!
Oil filled shocks? My Tamiya TT01E Mustang came with Friction shocks. Also notice how bouncy it is
Yep, I messed up. There’s a correction in the videos description.
RCDriver_Online Oh ok. Sorry, didn’t check the description

Hello RCDriver_Online!
I am relatively new to the rc hobby ( have been learning about it for about 2 weeks ) and was wondering which car you would recommend:
A Traxxas Slash or a Traxxas Rustler!
Thank you!
Traxxas slash 4x4
Depends if you want something that can wheelie easily(Rustler) or something that more stable and easier to drive(Slash)
I had both, and the Rustler is a ton more fun and a lot more versatile. If you wanna go onroad mostly you'll need some other tires, but apart from that, it's good out of the box.
looks great! battery life on this one?
Do you have to paint the body??
Tamiya XV01s even better...but more money. Bodies for both are interchangeable I think
Is there a rc controller for the car ???
I really love the Tamiya line but I hate the body mount holes. The body posts take tons of looks to the finished body. Magnetic mounts are the way to go. 🤨

Nice Video! Can you show next time please how you fixed the lipo alarm? Would appreciate it. :-)
Could it handle a Traxxas 3s vxl system ? 😅

Do you recommend Tamiya for first time On-Road RCs, or would you recommend something like the Traxxas 4-Tec

I wanted to buy my son a Wild Willy or Jimny but the kit costs more than RTR for the likes of maverick which are HPI brand. As long established now paid for products I don’t see why they should cost anything like they do, at least for the none posh plastic kits.
I know this is 9 Month old, but seriously a wpl is not comparable. i have a C24 as well as a Axial SCx24 and i had to invest alot into tuning parts to get a decent car out of the WPL so that in total it was even more expensive than the Axial but is still a worse car... WPLs get very heavy when you put metal parts onto them, but the stock plastic is of very bad quality compared to the fiber reinforced plastics of the axial. So my advice is think of the total price you are going to pay!
