Been rallying two MF-01x chassis hard for 2 years. No problems and awesome to do 4 wheel power slides through corners. Highly recommend. Nice unboxing.
Hey Fil, great unboxing, dude! The more I look at this body, the more I like it! Yes it's boxy, but with all those scoops, flared wheel arches and the two spoilers on the back, it's really cool. Plus the addition of the LED ready light buckets is a lovely extra detail. This is gonna look awesome when finished! Definitely needs a shock upgrade though pal, or it's gonna look as realistic as a plastic parrot when in action on the dirt! Have a great day there, dude!
Plastic parrot, hahaha, that's awesome! Yeah the shock upgrade is a must. I've got some on their way. I'm going to run some thick diff fluids to keep those little tires moving forward, and that'll be that. Looking forward to letting her rip! Have a great day pal! 🍻
I built the Ford Escort in that chassy. Used a 19 turn motor in it. Standard Tamiya oil shocks. The car is really fun to run. I thought the 19 turn was a great fit. Can't wait to see yours run.
I've got some oil shocks on the way, and I was still unsure about which motor to run. 19T sounds like a good sweet spot, I think I have one on hand, too. Thanks for the tip. 👊🏼
Great unboxing of this funky little car Fil! Black and yellow is one of the best colour combinations of all time, should look great. That should be pretty nippy with that torque tuned motor I would have thought. Loving the tire sniff mate..... I was waiting for that, 'petroleum blend!!' 😂 You seem to have a lot of love for this kit, make sure your clod doesn't get jealous and make you sleep on the sofa matey! 😅 Great to see you still have your furry feline friend..... they do love to get on camera at any given opportunity don't they? They also have a certain fondness for Tamiya boxes, and always get inside them! 😂 Be great to see this one get built, cheers for sharing bud. 👍 👍 👍
Thanks for watching, my man. Yeah these cars get going pretty good with a Torque Tuned. I'll start off there and see where the rally road takes us. Haha. Don't tell the Clod I'm spending so much time with the Fiat. The last thing I need is a 4-wheel steering sleeper hold apied to me as I doze off on the couch. The Clod is a jealous son of a gun, lol!
G'day Fil😃. The little Fiat would have been fun with 215hp!. Nice unboxing mate👌, it looks like a nice kit, the camel yellow on black will look great, the yellow on the decals looks nice too. Mmmm num num tasty tyres👌😁. Thanks for showing your new kit Fil👍🦘🇦🇺
that's going to be epic once it's complete with paint. don't forget to ask the kitty to hold some pliers when needed. mine does the same thing when i'm building my tamiya's. cheers and we'll see you in the next vid!
@@garykee1 Heyu is a great name, that's hilarious! Teela is our little one, she's about a year old. Named after He-Man's friend, Teela, the warrior princess. Teela's big brother is Gary. He's the big guy, about 21 lbs, and he runs the neighborhood, haha. 🐈
@@poorboysrc well, i'm Gary. and this suck of a cat is probably the same in weight. ugh. but, they always like their cuddles. and shit ya, i remember he-man. just shows our age..ick..guess we're getting older..oh well. just turned the big 50 in sept. cheers.
The main color is a real challenge. It wouldn't be scandalous to paint it black. The "correct" tone exists in Tamiya spray can, PS Dark Blue 69944; it was reissued for this kit (previously used at least on F1 Wolf WR1 kit 84124). All the best 👍🤞
I ended up painting mine black. My local hobby store didn't have the PS Dark Blue in, and I didn't want to wait to see if they could possibly get it in. 🍻
It’s a very beautiful rally car . I think with that car runs Walter Röhrl. He did what nobody can do . He runs in a fantastic time by night and fog and wins the race. It was the legendary night of arganil. Very good car 👍👍👍
Oh, interesting. I never got into rally racing as a spectator, so I'm not very familiar with the differe t drivers and teams. But as an RC enthusiast, I love rally cars! 🤣
@@poorboysrc Look at Die legendäre Nacht von Arganil . It’s a very awesome Story. I don’t know if that in english but the video of the run is very interesting. 👍
Nice kit! I love the new body style as well. It's going to look neat after the build. Are you going to paint the wheels black? Excellent vid Fil! Deeecales 🤣
Thank you for the paint info. I am a newb to this hobby and there is no way I am even going to attempt those stickers for the yellow around the wheel arches. I'm far better at masking than decals for sure. I have researched on the replacement shocks. Apparently they're 55mm. Same ones as the TT-02 shocks.
Love this car. I might get this one When i grew up a neighbour had a Abarth version (i think) it was awesome and sounded so great The new PS colour Dark Blue from Tamia is just called PS Blue no number yet
That's even better, when an RC can bring back those great memories, it's a must have. So there's a new PS Blue then, hey? I might have to take a look at the hobby store and see what's on the shelf.

So, the 1:1 version of this car is not all wheel drive. Anyone know if I can build this kit, omit the center driveshaft and run it as rear drive only for more authenticity?
I don't see why not... I've never done it, and I haven't seen anyone else do it, but after building several of these chassis', I don't see why this wouldn't work.
Ampro is designing a grill for these that’s more scale, and places the headlights where they are actually supposed to be.. I’m not really a foreign car guy but I kinda like this little car.
I've just worked out an easier way to cut the decals. I've never built a kit before, so maybe other people use this technique, but I've never seen it done on any videos I've watched. I put the decal sheet on one of those green cutting boards and used an exacto knife with a sharp blade. I poke the knife blade through, then hold the blade still and move the sticker sheet round the blade. It's a bit like using a sewing machine. The tool stays still while the workpiece moves around it. It honestly works a treat, especially around those intricate little details.
Interesting, I've never seen it done that way before. Glad you found a method that works well for you. I'll tell ya, I'm not a fan of cutting out all these black window trims. 🤯
@@poorboysrc Same here. I used a metal ruler to cut along the first line, but I still managed to cut it squint. I accidentally discovered this method when I put the knife in for the next cut and my hand moved the sticker sheet just after I'd poked the blade through. I thought "Hang on a minute!!" And then I continued to move the sheet and it cut the thinnest of trim pieces beautifully.
@@the.just.able.biker67 haha, that's awesome. Sounds like it works well, I'm happy you shared it. I was hoping to get to my decals today, but the chassis build took longer than expected. Decals tomorrow... 😁
Sweet looking kit and body. The decals look a nightmare or will you spray more of the yellow parts to save getting them to work. The colour is a strange one, black or blue. I have looked and real rally car seems to be blue.
Yeah funny thing, the car in the video was blue, but Tamiya seems on the fence between blue and black. I'm going to paint the yellow bits, those decals will be a mess after a few trips out.
When Tamico unboxed this kit on their channel the guy said Tamiya was releasing a new colour, some kind of blue, for this kit. I was gonna get this but ended up getting the Beetle Rally version because the Fiats decals looked too scary.
Hmmm, interesting... Well in the video clip at the beginning, the 1:1 Fiat is blue/yellow. Seems Tamiya wasn't sure on how to guide their builders, lol. I'm still on the fence. But I'm going to paint the Camel yellow on the body, not use the decals. 👊🏼
Nice peek at the kit and all that it comes with. It is odd they goofed up the colors in the manual, they are pretty god usually for making sure all of it is correct.
I did... I think it was when I build my NIB Futaba FX10. The whole box stunk. It was 30-something years old, musty, and gross. The tires had a funk to them. 🤢
@poorboysrc we have a sheet of viton rubber for making seals that smells like cinnamon. I don't have a sense of smell, but everyone else says it smells just like cinnamon.
Its a sweet looking bodyset, one ive been tempted to buy, but untill the funds are there i cant 😭 would look epic out on a gravel surface 😁 i look at the colour and to me, its black 😁
I got interested in the color discrepancy and it's supposed to be a blue, but the actual shade of blue is a mystery just looking at pictures. Sometimes it looks very blue, sometimes it is so dark it almost looks black, and sometimes it has a weird green tint to it. It is definitely blue though. The hard part is finding photos and video of the actual car, there are so many model kits, and video game pictures thrown in that looking for real pictures is hard. TBH though it looks better in black so...
Yeah it's a bit of a blue mystery, isn't it? In the video clip of the 1:1 Fiat 131 at the start of my video, you can clearly see its blue. But on the front of the Tamiya box it looks black. I think I'll go PS-4 blue.
@@rexy_yee8431 you're right, they did. I did a little more digging after I made this video and discovered that. I had no idea they'd do this, it's a first for me in my many uears of building Tamiya kits.
