Hi there Freddy, yeah, good explanation of the shading used by Tamiya to distinguish between the components required. Hence why Tamiya say that teenagers should have adult supervision, when building a Tamiya, well, they did back in 1984 anyway 😂😂 I think these days, teenagers don’t necessarily go into RC’s as much as they are into gaming 😂😊😂they’re missing out 😊😊😊best wishes 😊
Thanks John and you’re right they are missing out!! Im trying to figure out a way to get kids back into it here. Video games kind of took over and I think it’s been a mistake. No one socializes any more. They all just talk to each other over microphones and blow up stuff lol
@@FastFreddyRC I accidentally got a 4s to 6s esc for it.. I'm not sure the car can handle it. Definitely going to be interesting. Going to run stock first..
Hi Fast Freddy, do you have a video of fitting wheels and tires together? I own a Hornet and already built it . Just about to give it it's maiden run today 14 September 2023. But I'm just interested in your method of fitting wheels together. I actually found it easy and then just never used them tyres because I've brought some aftermarket Louise phantom tyres and wheels with foams. At least my Tamiya Hornet wheels and tires will be preserved and stay brand new. I don't really like them and I found a vent hole of about almost 3 mm diameter. That's ridiculous. It's like running on a flat tyre that will puff up when the motor is spinning. What the hell. These Louise phantom tyres are awesome. Proper race tyres glued Nd with foams. Nice fat tread and very sticky and tacky.👌💪👍
Well I will soon as I just finished putting the wheels together!! But my method will the same as I did for the grasshopper. Here’s the link: ruclips.net/video/TV4SkfHgSlg/видео.htmlsi=HLIhqV0rG8G6uknV - As a whole it seems to be hit and miss. Some people find them ok to do others have a huge amount of trouble with them. I just finished shooting the video for the hornet tires and it took me less than 5 minutes doing it my method. I’ll check out the tires you’ve found as they sound great. You going to do a video of it? I’d love to see your phantom tires in action!!
Hi there Freddy, again a great building video.👍
Thank you Dirk!

I'll be back again for this one... 👍 Hornet rebuild has been delayed due to new tt02b.. Thanks Fred
Don’t blame you!! That TT02B is going to be fun to build!

@@reitplace4765 hmmmm…good question! I’m going to say it might end up being too much for it but can’t hurt to test it out can it? Lol
