Welcome to my Tamiya RC journey!
As a child I always wanted a Tamiya RC car to build and drive around but my parents couldn't afford one.
Now as a 'Manchild' with my own funds, it's time to start building and driving!
I can't promise it'll always be a Tamiya, but let's see what's out there to play with!

Might be popping down to your dragstrip in early/mid September, see if your seafront is better than my little service road... #foundya
I have found a car park at the uni that is empty all summer 😉
Hey nice run. I think that really this is the speed this car wants to go and anything above this is just asking for trouble! I'm already fed up with mending mine and thinking I need to put it back to brushed. Good luck in the contest 😁
Yeah this car ain’t built for speed or being stripped for upgrades. Good luck Pete.
Nice start 👍 Yeah careful with the steering, it's very nippy. You'll start sweating when reaching higher speed 🚀😁🤝
Not sure I’ll get to too higher speed though lol
Awesome to see you back again, Ian. I love the paint job and of course, your filming location is the best. Good luck out there, pal!
Thank you Fil. Good luck with all the admin, looks like a big one this year.
I never thought an RC car would help pick up chicks, I'm married so that's out the door for me anyway, then again, around here you get looked at like your special or something driving an RC vehicle...... Great job mate!!!!
Thank you.
Love the colors, looks great. I'm really surprised to see the wobbling in these kits. Mine goes straight as an arrow. Love the skate park bit. Good luck!!!!!!!
Thank you. Couldn’t resist a little jump.
Great start, Ian! Funnily enough exactly the same speed I got when mine was stock. It can only get faster! Go well! :)
Thank you Mark. Good luck on your runs sir.
Nice spot there! A solid result to build on 😊👍
Thanks 👍
Nice first run and a good base to start. May I recomment a gyro? This shouls straighten the run.
Thanks for the tip!
Good first run, seems to be the benchmark for the standard speed. Yet to run mine as still waiting for a couple bits
I have one or two things to do to increase the speed but think I’ll be rooted at the bottom. Don’t want to throw everything at just for one run.
@@rctamiyaaddict4687 yeah. Thats true. As for Dirks comment regarding a gyro, apparently thats the way to go and helps quite a bit. My difficulty will be finding somewhere open enough with no traffic or kerbs to destroy the car with 🤣
Lucky I have a seafront outside my house but have to go early morning before it gets busy.
Do they make a ball diff for the sand scorcher cos the Tamiya one is crap ..forever coming loose so no drive even with loctited to the nines I’ve tried all colours non lasts long .even used industrial cyanoacrylate nothing works ..even had the adjusting nut shear off ..waste of money and not cheap either ..
I haven't seen one from my supplier that I buy most of my stuff from, but that's not to say it ain't out there!
@@rctamiyaaddict4687 I got a reply from Ampro engineering .and MIP ain’t done one and aren’t going to .Tamiya seem to have stopped them due to lack of sales ..mostly likely because they’re garbage
At first I thought I didn't need them. But the plastic shafts twists after installing a more powerful motor. You also need to upgrade the dogbones/cup joints because they also twist. The wheel hexes should be upgraded to, as the plastic ones can crack. The motor installed is a 6.5T, quite a far jump from the stock torque tuned.
It’s had a few upgrades since this video. Thanks for watching.
Holmes Hobbies (youtube) has a great, quick, and simple explanation on adjusting the timing of your motor. It really helped me. Check him out! Your mod by mod speed run testing is also great by the way, keep it up!
I just got back from Japan and picked up a bunch of hop ups some Tamiya and some Eagle Model. The car runs really nice now and I also have enough spares to have a second TT02. The parts there are cheap where it says 750 for the deck that 750 yen or 3.75 quid which is what I paid for mine woohoo, thanks work for sending me to Japan.
Nice. Not sure my company will send me to Japan, Skegness if I’m lucky.
@rctamiyaaddict4687 that's one thing I'm lucky with as my job is for the Asia Pacific Region from Japan to New Zealand and the rest of the world sometimes. So I'm always looking for a bargain or something new as long as it fits in the luggage.
That sounds fantastic.
That's not what I was expecting! Shake down at the skate park!
Nothing fell off. Lol
How did you get the pinion onto your brushed motor? It seems like the motor shaft isn’t long enough to put on the stock pinion?
If I remember rightly, the teeth of the pinion are closest to the motor. Unlike any other pinion I’ve fitted. Hope that makes sense.
@@rctamiyaaddict4687 it does. I turned the pinion around but the shaft isn’t long enough so the grub screw has nothing to bite into.
What motor is is? I used a super stock as a standard sized motor like a sport tuned won’t fit because of the shaft ( I think )
Looks great 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Get a TT-02 D kit and get ball bearings, a motor heat sink, oil filled dampers, sport tuned motor, probably more, and all for a reasonable amount more. I bought one and decided to get another and make a touring car from that kit rather than a TT-02 standard kit, I have some good road tires and now have spare drift tires too. Look into it, just not many bodies for the chassis option though. I like getting extra bodies too though for the few chassis I have, painting is part of the fun. Enjoy following your progress and will be making my own TT-02 journeys also buying pinion gears and spur gears myself now.
Thank you for watching and the time for your comment. Think I’ll be sticking with the 3 I have now.
@@rctamiyaaddict4687 That's what I thought till I saw a TT-02D on sale with the R32 Skyline body I was after. Enjoy, lot's of fun to be had.
Major problem is the gear ratio on a TT is way too low for speedruns. Most you can get out of the mod 0.6 pitch is 5,74 FDR with 64/29 combo. Thats great for a 17,5 blinky but nowhere near what you need. Do yourself a favor and switch it over to a 48 pitch with the yeah racing slider motor mount. HRC black delrin spurs are bolt on to the tamiya high speed spur holder. If you want a daily 48 ratio kimbrough 301 66/24 with 2 extra holes to mount it. That gives you a FDR of 7,15. That's fine for the box stock torque tuned or hotter brushed can. My final drive ratio was 4.4 with a 60/35 48 pitch and a hole in the spur cover to hold such large gear. On top a F540 4370kv on 3s. That was good for 60 mph+ Number for said spur gear is HRC 74860 LW for the 60 48dp and Kimbrough KB301 for the 66 48dp
Wow. Some great advice there, thank you. Do want to explore the different gear sets, moving for 06 to 48.
What is hrc stand for?im trying to figure out what company your talking about lol
@@333UNLUCKY HRC is the brand. There is others by 3racing. The white spurs have turned out to be less durable. Black delrin is what you are looking for. Making new holes isnt a big deal with a body reamer and a 2mm steel drill bit.
@@Particular_Sky thanks for the info
The carbon upper deck and battery holder are useless upgrade as much as the carbon fiber bumper holdef. Alu steering linkage, high torque servp saver, alu propeller, oil shocks and adjustable arms are the best ipgrades u need. If u want to compete oil diff and cvd is not a bad idea, it is just a very expenaive set and , forthat price, j qould get some higher end car
Hop ups are a rabbit hole. That’s what the project was all about, seeing if they did any good
Awesome! I'm finally going to enter the challenge this year so I'm pulling everything together that I need for this...awesome!
Excellent. I’m sure you’ll do a lot better than I will. Good luck with it.
@@rctamiyaaddict4687 not necessarily!! lol - I’m not going crazy but I am getting a different motor for sure. I’ll be putting out a couple videos soon and will reveal the upgrades I’ve chosen once they arrive. Best of luck to you too!
@FastFreddyRC thanks. I’m not going crazy on this, been working on my TT02 project, that’s where my cash has gone to.
@@rctamiyaaddict4687 yep…I have a lot of projects on the go and don’t seem to get around to finishing them lol - now with deciding to participate in the speed run challenge I need to focus on this for August. I don’t expect to win but I’m excited just to finally be a participant.
Some very nice upgrades there. A hopped up TT02 feels so much better imo 😇 I have upper deck from Fibre-Lyte in UK 👍
Very nice!
People new to Tamiya will never understand they will reproduce like rabbits 🐇 Good luck on the 01X challenge!
Thank you
I would like to put the carbon upper deck on mine. Did you get it from JK-RC? Also, I love the Tamiya rally cars, I have a few myself but I really want an Escort cosworth like yours. Stunning looking car!
Bought the upper deck from eBay and the Cosworth shell again off eBay through a supplier called Kamtec. They also have website.
BTW it helps to remove the front bumper to work on the servo arm.
Thank you.
I had several comp grade crawlers and I find this CC-02 (73 Bronco) the most fun on the trail, even more so thany SCX10. So why spend the money for a steering link when the stock one works well, I did replace the plastic drag link with an Axial 98 tune (green anodized) with Axial (Traxxas) rod ends which I have plenty in my parts box. Works great and no bump steer
Yeah steering was fine as it was but just needed to scratch that rc upgrade itch, plus it gave it some more additional weight.
I made an error, I used an Axial 91mm tube in titanium for the drag link.
West Sussex here too, near Burgess Hill... Need somewhere to speed run i can get to on public transport!
I have the seafront, nice and straight, but have to go early before it gets too populated.
@@rctamiyaaddict4687 and only 2 and a bit hours from me by train.... Might pop down when the kids are back at school 😉
Feel for ya. Thanks for sharing. I avoid white like the plague.
I hate painting white
Great build 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Should of saved your money lol
I think you’re right!
Hey nice build. Yeah this kit is a bit wibbly wobbly in places like you say. I don't think it's very fast out of the box and it's a bit all over the place so the contest will be tricky. I look forward to seeing how you get on 😁👍👍
Think I’ll be firmly at the bottom of the leaderboard. 😆 thanks for taking a look.

Fantastic looking beetle.. I love it!
Many thanks!
Late to commenting but that looks the business ❤
Thank you
Hey you've done a lovely job on that 👍👍 Good luck with the contest 😁
Thank you so much 😁
Where about’s is this? I didn’t know it existed, near the park?

Great colors!
Thank you! Cheers!
Where about’s are you based? Looks like Bognor Regis?
It does, doesn’t it

It came with kit
Great job on the body, those stickers made it pop! Lots of luck on the challenge! 😎👊👍
Thanks! You too!
Looks awesome. Wishing you great runs and lots of fun 👍
Fingers crossed!
Good looking body, now let's get it going fast! :)
Working on it!
It looks fantastic!! I'm happy to see you I this. Best of luck!!!
Thank you so much!!
Looks awesome mate!
Thanks a ton!
The stickers makes the colours look great!
I think so too!
@@TheOttomann64 What we need is Go Faster Stripes, and plenty of them.
looks great! best of luck
Thank you!
Nice paint job, loving the colour scheme you got going on there. I'm struggling with the rain up here can't get any painting done yet and there's not a lot of spares for this chassis in Wheelspin Models, all the main bits are sold out and it's only going to get worse. Got the car sort of built waiting for the bearings to come soon I hope. Good luck with the SRC, it's going to be a fun one for sure.😊😊😊
Thank you. Yep, if it gets damaged I think it’ll be game over for me. Think I’ll probably be near the bottom like last year. Good luck to yourself.
@@rctamiyaaddict4687 You never know what's going to happen it's all down to the setup really.
The body looks well!
Cheers.
All you had to do was recalibrate the esc 🤦🏻♂️
How is that done? Keeps getting mentioned but what’s the process.
@@rctamiyaaddict4687 what ESC are you using?
THW-1060-RTR
1060 has no calibrate. Its auto endpoint set every time you turn it on
