- Is the BT-01 Chassis anything special? Well let's find out!
In this video I will go over step 9 where we will put together the differential gear.
THINGS TO BE AWARE OF:
If you're a beginner to the world of Tamiya R/C cars I don't think this kit is going to be for you. By choosing to go with a design that can be configured in multiple ways, Tamiya have chosen to go with multiple instruction manuals that don't stand alone. You have to refer to the different ones as you go along with the build process. I'm not a fan of this type of setup as it can be easy to make a mistake and find that you have to go back steps to fix things if you did something wrong. So to avoid any confusion, I will be building this car using the standard mid motor rear drive setup.
I have heard there are issues with this chassis so again I'll take you on this journey of discovery and when the build is complete I'll do a full review on the car and give you my thoughts.
But from what I already know about this chassis...it's not an easy build and can lead to confusion.
I have to tell you when this chassis was first released I was NOT excited about it. I'm not a fan of a chassis that is being designed so that you can build it in multiple configurations. With the BT-01, you can build it Front Motor Rear Drive/Front Motor Front Drive/Mid Motor Rear Drive. And when you can build a car three different ways it can often mean that it's sub-standard in all configurations. From what I'm hearing, my concerns are valid as others are finding there is "slop" in the chassis in multiple places.
So, in theory, having a kit that can be built in three different configurations is fantastic...and as this video will show, I'm excited about building this one. But I'm not convinced that my excitement will last once we get into the build process.

Wish me luck!

Plastc😮😮😮. Tamiya's saving money on the wrong side.
Great job Freddy
So many of their kits are plastic gears...even the TT02 gears are plastic but I've never had a problem. It's weird...but seems pretty standard with their kits.
Assembly continues. Nicely explained.
Thanks Trey!
I really like the star tree pin design, feel like it makes it easier than the little metal pins
It is nice to put them on the tree and grease it that way. Much easier to hold.
Was going to mention the plastic diff gears too, unsure I've build a kit without the metal 'star' and bevel gears .
Plastic diff gears still working fine after 3 years of running, still the original ones in, no problems with them.
@@allanritchie1539 good to know 😁
Most kits I’ve built seem to be the plastic gears I think. Even the TT02 gears are plastic. But they seem to hold up really really well.
It’s true Allan! They do seem to hold up well.
@@FastFreddyRC i must've forgotten what I have built and when 🤣
May have to go through tje old manuals and refresh my memory lol
The plastic gears in my Tamiya cars have way outlasted the metal one's in my Traxxas Summit. Crazy ain't it how things work out.😢😂😢
It’s true! No rhyme or reason for it! Lol
