- Is the BT-01 Chassis anything special? Well let's find out!
In this video I will go over step 12 where we will attach the rear upper arms.
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!

Awesome idea, including droop adjustment screws on the arms!
It's true...not seen that before on a Tamiya kit so there are some nice little extras with this kit.
Great video, the little details are so important in this and any build
Thanks John! And it’s true…if you miss something…even the small stuff, it can really mess you up.
Good info on the softer plastic.
Thanks Trey! It's worth pointing out as I think if you're not familiar with the building process you may not realize that there are different plastics in every kit. If it's your first build the last thing you're going to be happy with is stripping out one of the screw holes.
Have you ever thought about counting the threads? Sometimes I have this thought.😅
Funny! Now that is an interesting idea...totally worth trying!! Great idea Dirk!
I wonder if the grub screws are for adjusting the ride height may be? 🤔🤔
Good point Glenn. As I'm now further into the build I would say that that's EXACTLY what they are for. But I'm not quite sure how they operate yet...I'll have to see when I get the shocks and wheels on. They don't have a rubber bumper on them so if they end up touching the frame it seems like a hard hit. I'll know more soon...
@@FastFreddyRC ah, good to know. Looking forward to watching the rest.
Having to watch them 2 or 3 times occassionally as I keep missing certain things 🤣
