NOT What I Was Expecting! Tamiya Landfreeder QuadTrack RC Car Review | RC Driver
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- A few weeks ago when one of the very first Tamiya Landfreeder QuadTrack RC Car’s landed on our workbench, it instantly had Greg’s interest. So much so, he did an unboxing of the kit that you can find here: • Video And since then, it’s been taunting us as it was assembled over a few weeks. Well the QuadTrack was finally finished up and the question remains, is this kit worth the purchase, worth your build time, worth the drive? We had our thoughts on how it would perform, but this tracked RC rig really threw us for a loop. Greg was not expecting what this RC car did in the dirt and on hills. If you’ve been toying with the idea of getting a kit to build, something different, then this is a must watch video for you!

This truck looks like a lot of fun! As someone who grew up in the 80s/90s, I am happy to see Tamiya is still around and flying the flag for old school RC.
that chassis cover is gonna be a hot item for us TT02 lovers! We need that part number haha
Chassis Cover: 11820030
@@rcdriver the best, appreciate you and your videos!
Yes! Thanks for asking this critical question! The chassis cover is a must have when even driving on road cars over loose gravel.
They may not make the fastest or most durable kits, but Tamiya does have the fun aspect figured out. I have owned a few and all of them have been fun to build, modify and drive. Really wished I had kept my Hummer and Clodbuster
You nailed it. That’s exactly what they are about, a fun RC modeling experience. So many people are so focused on what’s the best kit and who competes with one another and Tamiya isn’t focused on any of that, they simply make fun unique RC model kits.
The dust cover looks very interesting. I think with little effort it can be turned into a body of a sci-fi or polar car. Add some further parts and you can explore the arctic or conquer some other planets. Okay, that is for the optic.
Applause for Tamiya to pu a 35T motor in the car. I had slaughtered the 21T in my TRX-4 after driving 20 minutes with the Traxx in the snow. Now I have to change it. Not what I was expecting from Traxxas.😉
This is awesome! The price is quite high for a "TT-02" kit. Yeah, it's got the quadtracks, but even with the new ESC and chassis cover (which I really want), it's really steep for an entry level chassis.
Great review as always and really cool tip about leaving bushings in there for some of the components instead of bearings.
Looks a blast to drive, always love Tamiya, first one was the FAV back in the mid 80s. I visited Tamiya HQ in Shizuoka Japan some years ago, they have open day event twice a year together with a big RC Exhibition also in the same city where Tamiya, Kyosho, Yokomo show off new stuff and you can always pick up exclusive stuff made for the event like a very limited run of old Tamiya motors and parts. Tamiya HQ also have a open exhibition showing all their RC Cars from 58001 onwards together with real cars some of their RC Cars were based on.
Great honest review! The best part with this release is the parts: the chassis cover, locked diff, body and tracks. Breathes new life to exisiting tt-02 owners.
loved the little camera hit, it played out well!
I almost cut that out. But once I slowed up the video, it looked too cool to cut.
I really liked the way that handles on the dirt and I think this is one of those kits to get as in time its going to be one for the collectors..
For me this is going to be perfect for the sort of RC trails I like to do
I wasn't sure what to expect either. At times the smoothness of the treads makes it look like it's gliding across the ground. I wish they would have made a new body for this platform, maybe something sci-fi or like an exploration vehicle. The Fast Attack Vehicle body might look cool on this.
A tracked Fast Attack is a pretty awesome idea.
Sno-Cat springs to mind - in bright orange of course .........
It looks cool but friction shocks?!?! And they used the short on road suspension arms with almost no travel. Almost feels like they have held back it's own potential.
That chassis cover is going to be a must have for TT-02 owners though!
The body is a true 1/10 scale. If they used the tt02b arms and suspension you would have the wheels sticking out 2" wider. not very scale.
Seeing your video made get one myself. looking forward to use it all year around.
On the fence on this one.... looks fun to build but can you do a comparison video against a conventional off road car on the same chassis?
The way those tracks move is almost hypnotizing! I'd like to get one of those chassis covers for my rally tt02
Love the truck. I've done a few kits, tamiya, and liked them.
Only grips, I'd decals. Royal pain cutting them out.
Nice review
❤ I’m a fan!
Thank you for sharing your work.
I don't know, it looks a little more on the toy'ish, new bright type of rc to me. But I know the fun is building the kit. just my opinion.
Those tracks seemed to perform quite flawlessly; nice!👍😊
Yup, they sunk in on a really loamy dirt mound, but worked really well overall.
liking the mudshield -more kits should have them ! looks like it needs to be heavier with crawler motor .
Awesome truck! I need to build one of these myself
That would be cool for the snow🔥🔥
I hope that Tamiya starts producing 1/8th scale cars in the future.
They used to, no idea why they stopped because they were awesome
@@ventisette. No idea either, the 1/10th scale Tamiyas are very robust and cheap to repair.
I wish I could get my hands on a well maintained TNX 5.2R, or Tamiya Nitros in general.
But anyway: Tamiya as a whole doesnt seem to be in a good spot internationally anymore, the biggest revenue seems to be from re-releases. Most of their stuff also seems to be focussed at Japan.
@@xXYannuschXx if you ignore the waste of plastic that is the TT02 and all of its shitty derivatives they still have a pretty interesting line-up of new releases every year. I like that they still focus on kits and not on Chinese-built RTRs unlike their competitors.
Looks sweet, for sure want one but it´s a bit on the pricy side for what you get, probably gonna get one anywhay haha. Nice video.
It did a great job on the dirt.
Wow that looks awesome 👍 can't wait to see more vids of it. Thanks for the vid 👍
I really want to see this in the snow
I would like to see it on the same trail as the monster beetle tr
It's cool but 4 wheel steering would be good?
Great video, just what I was waiting for. Can't wait to get mine.
Fascinating kit might have to get. Thanks for the video.
Really like the chassis cover!
Brilliant video as always, this truck has grown on me!
I’d like to see how that handles snow.
omg Tamiya, it is now the 2020s , precut your decals! Even WPL have precut decals nowadays,cheap.
And give us bearings in the box 🙄
Only if they cut them out fully, I really hate it when the decals are precut, but the paper they are sitting on isnt. Makes it way hard to place them on the body when you need to fully peel them of the paper... ESPECIALLY because the larger one tend to curl up, nearly ruined the paper window masking on a Hobao that way...
For Tamiya Models building experience comes first, after all they are a model company first
I love the body , reminds me of the big bear
I’d like to see u do another video with a good shock on it.
The tt02 is one of the most versitile frames
Surprisingly good! Actually looks and performs better than it’s CC01 derivative
Let's do a head to head comparison with the TRX4 track model.
In the end I went with TRX hands down.
Thx for review. I got mine in pre-order but that could take a while. Thx for mentioning that it has no oil filled shock/bearings included. Will have to obtain those as well. Greetings from Holland.
Edit: You mentioned there was some dirt in the car despite the cover. Unfortunate you didn't show us that.
Cool model
very good rc
I like your video, you present the translation in Indonesian, I really enjoy your video
thanks for the video bro, very informative
Nice rig. I like it 🚀💥 💪🙂
Nice video man, great idea using the bronze bushings in the tracks. Any chance you could tell me the parts number for the lexan chassis cover, not the body , lol 😂. That rc goes better than it looks like it should, if that makes sense, lol .
Chassis Cover: 11820030
Very nice review. Looks like a fun truck. Bought my first Tamiya in 89. I'd have a hell-of-a time keeping it stock....sooo...it'd be another money pit. Hahaha
Tamiya...for all the coolness they have ; needs updated modern plastic(same plastic from the 80's), needs bearings and needs lockers.
That's cool! Tamiya is a great kit to start with.
Yup! Tamiya kits are fun for everyone
Awesome review as usual! Thank you
Nice video👍💯 I see the suspension a wee bit solid? but Great review and video👍👍👍📽
Very cool 😎
How are you doing today Greg? That sure does look like a lot of fun!
It was! Way more fun than I was expecting! Hope all is good with you my friend.
I would love to put a set of the tracks on a CC01 or CC02...
Oh trust me, I was checking that out too. The CC-02 is in the background at the end.😄
@@rcdriver How about a MF-01x chassis?
One of those with these tracks and a Lunchbox body would go along side my Jimny bodied MF-01x with the Monster Beetle TR portals on it😉👍
@@GreenJeep1998 well the tamiya tracks box have a list of options for the kits
Looks good! 💪🏾💯
Finally a track that’s better than Traxxas skipping tracks.
I like that it looks just like my old Ford Ranger😁
The chassis guard... is there a part #?
Wow..its perfect rig😎👍
So cool, I hope you get a chance to build the Tamiya Unimog kit. It looks pretty cool and has Mercedes license?!?!
I do have a few more Tamiya kits to review. Unfortunately that is not one. Sorry.
cool rc and great review brother
Thanks for watching me babble! 😆
@@rcdriver lol
Looks sweet
Why such short suspension travel..
Its a touring car or rally car chassis not an off road chassis.
Looks fun! :)
Great video. Does the new Tamiya Tble-04s ESC have a LVC for lipos??
I know right, was expecting him to mention what chemistry was included LVC. I presume lipo as he said he was going to use one in the rig.
I cant seem to get off the fence on this one . Originally i was really excited to see how Tamiya designed their track system. It will depend on what it goes for up here in expensive Canada
I thought it would be fun initially, questioned the chassis choice. But after driving it, I had way more fun than I was expecting. The terrain I chose may have played a part in the fun factor.
RCDriver_Online Greg your specific comment about leaving bushing in the tracks made me start to think, maybe picking one up, leaving bushings in it and make this my mud/rain/hose her down rig
Appreciate your channel man
Do us all a favour and line the track hub up with the tl-01/gf-01 (i say tl-01 because of the infinite amount of suspension movement you can have and still use c hubs)
hi, how durable do you think the tracks will long term?
I want to get into the hobby and I’m looking for a drag car what do u guys recommend ?
Are the treads plastic or rubber? Thanks :)
Plastic with rubber inserts.
The basic on-road TT02 is a hunk of shit, one of the worst RCs on the market but this is so over the top it’s probably worth buying
That would be awesome if it was on a better articulated suspension. Oh ya!
Like on the CC-01 or CC-02
gotta have a quad trak in the collection, where do i sign up :-))
That’s cool dear. Your video so interesting. SUBBED👍. Good Lucks
Class ! 👍
Wow!
This vs Trx4 Traxx and Kyosho Trail King? Which is the best?
Henrik this is not in the same league as a TRX4. This is more toy grade you build yourself. Cheap hard plastic throughout. Get a TRX4 kit over this 100%. Tamiya are nostalgic, guys keep buying them because they had them as kids. They still use the same plugs, wires, connectors from the 70s and 80s. They have not moved on.
Soo I don't understand how you have this kit I can't buy one? It pissis me off.
How long could you get out of a lipo? Would I need multiple for an hour + on a trail walk with it? With my TRX4 with out tracks I can get an hour and 30min plus and it would be awesome if I could do the same with this.
The video shoot alone was over 2hrs on a MaxAmps 6500 pack. I’ve driven it more than that, but mostly 30 minute runs when i had spare time.
@@rcdriver That sounds perfect. Thanks!
You can't touch the Redcat Gen8 V2 for the money.
Hi, RCDRIVER CAN YOU UNBOX AND REVIEW THE AXIAL CAN AM L. THANKS👍👍
Hmm, I don’t have one of those. I have the Bomber V2 and Gladiator in the workshop to review before I can get to that though.
@@rcdriver Ok, So after you review does two rc cars you will review the axial cam am??.
It's been out a long time and it's a beginner level car, so I don't think it would be real interesting to review. I have one, it's fine, slower but more durable than the 1/18 ECX cars. I personally regret having bothered with that size of car, save your money for something bigger/faster/funner.
For 500 that thing looks like a toy compared to a TRX with trax that's only like what 70 bucks more. That's insane look at all all those Phillips screws 🤦♂️ I wouldn't pay over 250 for it. Wait it is 500 right? 🤣🤣
Ford Effing Ranger
More metal in a thimble than this thing.
Tamiya rc vehicles seem like slow, easily breakable, too many parts, just weird. Rather have a Traxxas, HPI, Axial, Losi.
First and that truck looks wired
Maybe if I was ten years old I'd like it but its too toyish something Tyco would've sold in the early 90s I expect more from tamiya I guess
Another wayyyy overpriced kit by Tamiya no reason this should be 219.99
Tamiya is just stuck in 1986 pretty sad really
Tamiya has cool trucks but the plastic looks cheap and brittle. looks like a walmart rc truck
I woodnt take this dudes word on anything just another rc sellout
What is this comment based on? It can't be much because if you actually knew Greg you would know how well respected he is in the RC community. He has nearly 30 years of experience in RC. Stop being a troll.
Let me guess, Traxxas fan boy?
Facts, evidence? No? Troll then....
