G'day Fil 😁, Thanks so much for your kind comment to Ingrid and I on Addams channel mate, it really means a lot us both🙏. That's a great looking BBX mate👌Yeh we agree 100% it's something pretty special from Tamiya, hopefully they'll make some more BBX style buggies in future. Great to see your conversion work so well too mate👍. Beautiful water location you ran in, looks like a great fishing spot too. Thanks for sharing your great video Fil, we hope you are both well👍🦘🇦🇺
Hey pal, I was so happy when I saw it was you two that won the Grasshopper. You're always chiming in, supporting all of us RC RUclips whacko's, and that support is very much appreciated. Cheers to you both, and have an excellent weekend! 🍻
Superb video Fil! I'm loving how we are getting to see a longer term test of this great buggy mate. So many channels take them out once, and then we never see them again. Very cool to see the progression of the project, weakness's disclosed, upgrades and lots of tinkering along the way..... which is what this hobby is all about in my mind. Must admit, I'm surprised you destroyed two yeah racing ball diffs.... their products are normally very reliable, perhaps theres a design fault there. I know a lot of people don't like ball diffs, but I'm a big fan, and love how easy they are to adjust on most models. They are generally pretty robust to! She certainly seemed to drive well with the ball diff and slipper installed, great job! Loving your pronunciation of the word Aluminium, I think you have been watching too many UK channels on RUclips dude! 😂 That beach looks like the perfect stomping ground, got some amazing action footagage there for sure. Backing track worked well with the footage.... and as an old school jungle dj I absolutely loved hearing those little amen break beat stabs coming in..... proper 90s style! 😉 👍 👍 👍
The UK RUclips crew have certainly influenced my vocabulary and accent, haven't they? Haha. A positive influence, indeed! As for the BBX, I just can't seem to get enough of it, pal. Everything about it puts a big ol' smile on my face, and I just can't get enough of it. Glad you're enjoying the content, amigo! Have a great Saturday! 👍🏻 🍻🌴
Turn on the radio and car, place the car on a table, hold the left wheel, press the trigger if the front of the car raises up like a wheelie then the diff is set. If not gradually tighten the nut/screw until the frontbof the car comes up as you pull the trigger. Excellent vid Fil! I love the new Poorboysrc logo at the bottom of the screen.
Aaah, now there's some good tips for me, thanks buddy! I'm completely blind when it comes to ball diff setup, so I really appreciate this tip! And glad you like the logo! 😁
Nice run! I could watch this beauty all day! I went ahead and installed the slipper right away for some reason. ( Hop Up Anxiety maybe) but after running it, I think it was the right decision. Cheers!
Very nice. I use always ceramic balls for the balldiffs on all of my buggy's also I polish the pressure plates. A big improvement. Thank you for your enthusiasm. I get mine build soon.👍.
For my ball diff, i just used the settings in the manual. The bbx was also the most fun build I have ever done. Granted, I have only built 10 or so....
great job on the build! must commend you on the way you presented it. my candy green grasshopper is almost complete so i got myself a subaru brat to build during the colder months. wish i was in vancouver..i'm stuck here in ontarible with this lousy weather we have going on in my area. see you in the next vid! cheers.
Thanks for the great feedback, my man! Can you tell me what it is that you liked about the presentation? I'm working on upping my YT content game and I need feedback from great viewers like yourself. I grew up in Onterrible, so I feel your pain! Haha! Moved to the Island back in 2005 and fell in love with it here. 🍻
@@poorboysrc just your honesty and the way that you are yourself on the camera. just being yourself and not being a phony like some other and bigger channels that are out there on YT. also, i think that you might have a scottish backround so that's maybe another reason why! what part of Ontarible where you from? i'm from near Toronto, but about an hour away to drive from downtown if the traffic is good on the 401 hwy. i can mention a REALLY famous YT from Canada, but i have since unscubscribed from him since i do not like his content anymore..i think you might know who that person is since i will not mention his ways and his..let's just say..narcotic habits..
@@garykee1 thanks for the great feedback, my man, I really do appreciate it. I'm looking to grow this channel in the upcoming year, so hearing what the viewers like and don't like is super important. I grew up in good ol' Brantford. I finished high-school there, then attended Business school @ Conestoga in Kitchener. I worked in Marketing for a couple years in Kitchener after graduating, then just after I turned 25, I sold everything I owned, quit my job, and moved west. I've always felt more "at home" here than I did even in my home town. Funny how that can be... As for the big other Canadian RUclipsr, ya man, it's tough to watch the decline. What people do in their own time is none of my business, but his show seems more focused on that side of his personality than RC these days. Hopefully he gets well and can turn that ship back around. We need more great Canadians making content. Anyway brother, I'm about to make some tasty treats, guests are on their way over. Thanks again for the great comment t and positive feedback. Have an awesome Saturday! 🍻👊🏼
@@poorboysrc damn bro! you're basically my next door neighbour! I'm in Cambridge. too bad i can't be there for the treats, but maybe one day! have a great weekend my new friend. cheers for now! 🍺🍻
I am surprised you blew the gear diff, twice! It seems there may be a design flaw in that one to lose it twice in a buggy, a big heavy truck maybe but for a 2wd buggy with fairly narrow tires I feel like there may be a weakness in the YR diff itself. Regardless I am glad you git it fixed up and our bashing around again. The slipper adjustment one the inside of the transmission housing looks better but makes it tricky to keep the motor wires out of harms way! certainly don't want to see sparks flying from back there midway through a run!!! LOL!
I was surprised too, Addam. Yeah Racing makes good stuff, I've never had an issue with their products before. Either way, this new setup is SO nice, dude. Silky smooth power transfer and cornering. Ah, I'm gonna have to take it out again today I think. 😂
Yeah definitely that doesnt make any sense at all, you actually want a diff on lower grip surfaces slippers are really meant for high grip like carpet or crawler applications
Hey Fil! Loved the way you pronounced "aluminium"!!! 😅😅Spoken like a true Brit! Anyways, great video and some very useful info, good to know the ball diff works a treat. You got some excellent shots on the beach again, the jumps footage in particular was epic! You need to stop tempting me to spend money I haven't got on one of these beauties, but I really want one even more now! Take care bro! 😎👌👊👍
Hahaha, well I'll tell ya what, Mark. After spending so much time with the UK crew on RUclips, I think I'm starting to adopt the accent as my own, lol! Now I'm gonna go put on a Sex Pistols record, pour a cup of tea, and prepare for the day. 😂 Thanks again for watching, pal. I'm glad you enjoyed the action. 👊🏼
I just went from Malaysia to Toronto for work for 8 ddys. First trip to Canada I went to Niagra Falls the visited Big Boys with Cool Toys. I picked up my first Tamiya TT02 Porsche GT3 and in the build process now. It will be a good memory of my trip to beautiful Canadaits a bit like my home coyntry Australia. (WAS TOO COLD FOR ME HA)
Oh that's good to hear, Niagara Falls is beautiful! Enjoy the TT02 build. Dis you happen to watch the TT02 speed run challenge this year? If not, you might want to, you'll find lots of good inspiration there, I'm sure. 👊🏼
@@kanenstuff yeah you're absolutely right. I grew up in that area and spent a lot of time there. It's quite the difference when you cross the bridge, isn't it?
@poorboysrc Buffalo is sorry to say for the locals there but parts of it or most of it to me it's very run down. Though Canada was very nice and enjoyed the drive down its always nice my company hires me a car and I can go anywhere on the weekends.
I have beat the snot out of my bbx over the last 5 days. I have been at my trailer in northern Canada and have had it out over 25 times and have had zero issues other than killing 12t brushed motors but that’s my fault I’m going to go brushless . I was thinking of makeing this thing a monster. Aluminum gear case, steel gears, slipper clutch, upgraded driveshafts and modifying the batt compartment to take a 4s lipo. A 80kph bbx would be nuts.
That's awesome, dude! The BBX is very tough! Did you watch my skate park vid? I gave it a proper thrashing, and it just kept coming back for more! Hands down, one of Tamiya's best buggies! 👌
Awsome vid, its a great buggy for sure, im glad i got to build and run one, but do wish i could of kept hold of it for longer, looked awsome running around the beach 😎
Same issue with my bbx damaged the original ball diff, so i put a yea racing diff and blow out it, then i put a hop up ta06 diffiertial with metal gears and problemssolved. My bbx is running beautiful againg 😊
Yeah, man, I love your videography, those clips work so well together, Fil! Little clips with the transmitter, just adds such a bit of dimension to the video, proper action and storytelling, great entertainment! And the other thing, I love that khaki paint job, I need to get started on those colours also at some point! Bummer you destroyed those differentials... I still haven't yet ordered those Yeah Racing diffs for my TD4, but might soon... Or maybe not? They are plastic, right? I'm guessing you must have installed 4 or something by now? What's the quality like, on the long run?
Thanks for the great feedback, Mads. I'm really learning as I go along with this whole video editing thing, so it's very encouraging to get good feedback when I'm experimenting with my story telling. Thanks dude! 🍻 As for the YR diff, it's been great in the TD4. I've only run about 3-4 packs through it, but they were hard miles, on concrete. The diff never skipped a beat. In the BBX, I started with the YR diff open, and somehow I managed to get it slipping. Never done that to a gear diff before, and still don't really know what happened. It's like one of the sun gears was too far away from the planetary gears... 🤷♂️ -- So I installed the locker mechanism. It lasted 5 minutes before it started clicking, and after 10 minutes or so, I was 1 wheel drive with a very unlocked diff... lol. And yes, these are plastic gears. I hear there's a steel gear option available now, which will be my go-to if the ball diff dies on me. 👊🏼
Great video. For the 4 rear links with the spacers in the middle did you run into an issue? When I match them to the picture there is a small gap and the spacers slides back and forth. And if I tighten them all the way they are too short according to the scale picture. Did that happen with you?
This is the one I used: www.rcmart.com/tamiya-steel-gear-differential-unit-rear-ta06-ta06-pro-ff-03r-xv-01-54471-00036204?srsltid=AfmBOopkxD2m-AZZy7cps81IYXZ4LVKs7Qh6AvZQyin3uCcN1iTeesGg
Bonjour, le différentiel que vous avez installé est celui livré avec le kit du BBX , c’est bien ça ? la traduction dans la vidéo est parfois hésitante !!!! merci
hold the back wheels and hit the gas the car should barely lift from the table if it flips backwards loosen the clutch. It the front wheels stay planted then tighten the clutch a little.
The slipper clutch allows the transmission gears to "slip" a little when confronted with a jarring impact that could otherwise put stress on the trans gears, and possibly damage them. For example, when landing a jump, or landing on throttle. Instead of possibly damaging the gears, the slipper allows a little slipping of the spur, to absorb that force, protect the transmission, and keeps the car moving in a stable, predictable manner. 👊🏼
It is a clouch that make the gears slip when are under high pressure so you protect your transmission and pinions from the torque that the motor produces to avoid snap the gears. I mean slip clouch insulates the power that the motor produces in situations where the tires lock like jumps or big acceleration on areas that have too much grip and can blow pinions and gears... sorry my eanglish is so bad 😅
Nothing worse than buying a car like this and not being able to get it going due to lack of skill or time Be aware the maintenance you need to do to keep running this can start be be a real drain Seems the mechanical work you do on these can be more than the run time .

The slipperclutch is definitively the right decision Fil. Thanks for showing the run, too.
Yeah the BBX felt so good with the ball diff and slipper. Much smoother and track worthy v.s. my previous setup. 👊🏼
I'm not in the market for a buggy but the BBX is surely tempting me. It looks like a lot of fun. Thanks and Take Care!
You'll love it once you get your hands on it. It's a real joy to drive, and the design makes me drool every time I look at it. 🤤

Is it the camera angle? Or is there toe in on the front end?
Probably just the camera. Or I was too lazy to adjust the toe at this point... lol. I blame the camera. 🤣👊🏼
When running that close to salt water, do you have to be extra vigilant on cleaning the buggy? Or it doesnt matter because its 97% plastic?
Nah, I just give it a rinse with the hose when I get home, WD40 the metal parts, let it dry, and back on the shelf. 👌

Nice, good tip. Thanks pal! 🍻
I hope you had good day today l am fine
Good to hear from you, take care. 😁
I have to ask, im not machincaly minded at all, what is a Slipper clutch, perpuse and benfits. Thank guys.
The slipper clutch allows the transmission gears to "slip" a little when confronted with a jarring impact that could otherwise put stress on the trans gears, and possibly damage them. For example, when landing a jump, or landing on throttle. Instead of possibly damaging the gears, the slipper allows a little slipping of the spur, to absorb that force, protect the transmission, and keeps the car moving in a stable, predictable manner. 👊🏼
It is a clouch that make the gears slip when are under high pressure so you protect your transmission and pinions from the torque that the motor produces to avoid snap the gears. I mean slip clouch insulates the power that the motor produces in situations where the tires lock like jumps or big acceleration on areas that have too much grip and can blow pinions and gears... sorry my eanglish is so bad 😅
I thought it was pronounced Tuh-my-uh
I hear it pronounced differently all over the world, so I don't think too much about it. Potato/Potaddo kinda thing. 👊🏼
Nothing worse than buying a car like this and not being able to get it going due to lack of skill or time
Be aware the maintenance you need to do to keep running this can start be be a real drain
Seems the mechanical work you do on these can be more than the run time .
I've had pretty good luck with mine. In fact, it's been a lot tougher than I had anticipated.
