  • From beginners to national winners - We visit MKRCCC and saw cars from several manufacturers battling it out on track. But how will Tamiya do with the M07 taking to the track in the 2WD class and can Carl get the Atom 3 around the track.
    The most popular car in the MTC 2wd class is the Carten M210F and it is a great car and the driving feel reminds me us of our early years of racing with the M03 cars. This is so much fun but this week is another outing for the M07 !!!!
    We first raced GT12 back in 2012 when the original supastox was released and the class grew fast and we upgraded to the Supastox GT, then the Schumacher Atom came along which was faster still.

    When I packed up racing about 5-6 years ago due to me having terminal cancer I was running a Schumacher gt12 car don’t get me wrong when it was good it was awesome very quick with 13.5t motor 1s but I was always fiddling with it checking for chassis tweak and that everything was ok changing ride height as my tyres worn down & tbh it was a pain in the arse , I am going to make a comeback in the next few weeks I am buying a Tamiya m-07 concept car , esc £28 motor £10 servo £60 wheels & tyres £28 a set that will last all year on one set and hardly any messing about with it as it runs on rubber tyres so I can’t see why people prefer spending shed loads of money when you can race this class on a shoestring and this is the most excited I’ve been about doing something since I was diagnosed

    Your right Carl, the GT12 is a long journey to get right. I'm new to the GT12 and beleive me, I have been through a lot of the setup issues that you have had and more. Keep going on the GT12 journey.

  • @markbruton-young9228
    @markbruton-young9228 7 месяцев назад +1

    GT12 or LMP cars are like the F1 of RC racing, super fussy on setup and you have to constantly keep then in that setup window. Checking tyre sizes, ride heights, axle heights, tweak after every run. But when they are in the operating zone of setup boy are they fast!

    i was looking at Newbury but they don't run allot of classes and i like the look of the battcave cars, i do like the look of the Xray series they run but for now im wondering to start on a different class.

    You need to change your shock oils before every event with the atom. Infact need to rebuild it before every event is what im discovering. They get tweaked very easily and once its tweaked your losing a lot of laps.

    A quick question this may sound dumb but for the lofe of me I cant get power to my SR215 reciever with the THW 1060 esc that cane with my TT02. Its bound and works on my nitro though on my Tamiya its just flashes red even after setung the end point. I run the rugged dx5 but its my first electric with this radio.

    • @PopalongRC
      @PopalongRC  7 месяцев назад +1

      Have you tried re binding it

    • @kanenstuff
      @kanenstuff 7 месяцев назад

      @PopalongRC yes I bound it with my nitro buggy set the throttle trim to zero. It says but the esc plug into the throttle but I get no power even if I put it in the power slot I still have no power. Then if I put it back in my nitro buggy all is sweet I'm new to electric cars but it makes no sense its ment to be rtr?

    • @kanenstuff
      @kanenstuff 7 месяцев назад

      @PopalongRC the reciver just has no power what ever I try looked at videos there not much out there. I have made many rc drones for racing so a esc is nothing new but I'm missing something or it's DOA.

    • @heady2008
      @heady2008 7 месяцев назад +1

      @@kanenstuff I'll start by assuming that you have plugged the ESC's lead in correctly which is normally negative/black on the outside/right hand pins. The ESC lead to the RX should output around 5 volts from it's internal BEC. If you have a multimeter then test this by connecting to the red and black contacts.

    • @kanenstuff
      @kanenstuff 7 месяцев назад

      @heady2008 OK thanks I will check this but for sure the reciever works I have been doing nitro for decades an never had a issue getting power to a reciever. Since I started watching your videos and Tamiya cars here are so cheap thought I would give it a go. But when I follow the instructions I just don't get power it makes no sense atm. It has some nice hop ups hope it doesn't end a up being my first shelf queen 😂
