Hi there Rex! Well that seemed to drive a lot better than I expected with those pogo stick shocks and loose surface. But the you are a great RC driver! The main thing is you had fun, good to hear you chuckling! Those figure of eights looked nice! I was impressed by the final tests around the slalom and little course, I think I'd have just span in circles Rex! 😎😎👍👍
Man, I had a whole big comment and I must have not hit "Comment".... What's it like on carpet??? Seen a guy post a video of his BT-01 and he was having all kinds of issues, a ton of slop and tires (wheels) getting extreme toe out under power... I think maybe he built it wrong... His title was something like "Do not buy"... Well, I'll say it again, Good to see you back man!!!! Awesome video...
Thanks! Yes, ive done that too many times, however I write a comment and hit a button by mistake and end up another video, i hit back and my comments gone hahaha. It went very very well on carpet imo, check out this video of mine- ruclips.net/video/oq-dcc9fibg/видео.htmlsi=djYeJWL171uaDX3s Also glad to see you here!
This was definitely my most anticipated video of REX's channel this year... and it didn't disappoint! Excited for upgrades in the suspension, both with oil shocks and improving the stroke. About the hairpins, you could try getting another differential (maybe whenever you get an MB01) and have them with different grease, such as regular Tamiya grease vs AW grease to see if that made any difference?
Some marketing guy at Tamiya just lit up and is formulating a plan right now to start pitching this was all the rally bodies on them now! LOL!! It did rather well especially with the bouncy pogo shocks on there. A little smoothness from the suspension and it would probably come alive out there and be a bit more predictable, aside from hitting the bog rocks!
Beauty. I guess both set ups have benefits? Surface seems to definitely contribute. I will like to see it with some oil dampening like you said. What about the slop factor?
Slop off road isnt a huge issue, especially at the level I’m using it, even on carpet it was barely noticeable to the handling. if one were to try and race it at a high tier I could see a problem for sure, where tenths of a second matter, but in that case this is the wrong chassis to do that with. Ive seen lots of others complain about slop but most of them havent actually done anything other than go back and forth in a straight line, again, not the car for that. With that said, im not defending the slop, it is a sloppy girl, similar to the MB-01 and I do believe thats not reasonable, it shouldnt be so sloppy period. I will get oil shocks on it soon! Lets see that carten 410 rally, you have piqued my interests

really enjoyed watching this, so glad you have the BT-01 still and have not moved it on

Looking good out there, Rex. Nice to see the BT getting dirty!
Great to see you out there having fun Buddy .
That Tamiya's just chewing up the dirt . 👍🏼
Very cool! It definitely looks pretty stable out there...suprisingly controllable actually!
Nice! Looks like the motor being more forward helps the steering🎉
Nice, its only when you put the camera on the ground you can see how rocky it acctually is. Would be good to see how it goes with oil shocks 👍
Thanks for the sub Rex!! It's massive for me to get a sub from you thankyou mate ! Your BT-01 Looks so fun !
RCSparks Studio probably has a road sweeper for that carpark
I think oil shocks would make a huge difference
Nice run Rex!

@@rexrcs Yeah man, I went back to look, I seen it and commented on that video, I just plain forgot about it...
@@UncleBobsRC i’ll try to make the videos more memorable haha
You're not a dingus, youre Canadian. There's a difference.
Nice run Rex! That motor definitely got a workout 🦾 I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on the new XM-01 chassis.
You and I both, XM-01 preordered!

More to come!

I can definitely see them
Making a 4wd version and doing that!
I hope they also say maybe we should put cva oil shocks in every kit.
@@Alan-cg8gx LoL, bearings too right? Never gonna happen! 😂

@@rexrcs Aww yeah! I have to paint that little beauty. Figuring something out that is creative AND uses up my old paint stock lol!
Cheers!
