It was running around a lot better now and very stable. One of these day I will get mine done! I ran out of steam on the body and it is still waiting for me to get back to it!
Goes alot better with that motor, colour really suits it...😎
Great! yours the only 4ws here which works without flipping over all the time lol
Cheers mate ;) it’s only because it’s been lowered and had the dual rates altered and the oil shocks added simple but it’s effective. Glad you like it thanks for watching 👀
Nicely done Andy!
Cheers Guy much appreciated :)
Nice job. Your Tamiya Van looks sweet. It handles like a dream. I like how the servos are mounted on this truck. Awesome!
That's really nice Andy 👍👌 I am going to buy myself one. I wasn't so sure about it when they were first released with a new chassis and full gear driven but now I'm really very impressed. Tamiya have done a Stirling job with the squash can. It's new and high tech. I've got a re released Midnight Pumpkin that I haven't built yet but now I want a Squash Van. It's like an evolution of the Midnight Pumpkin. Only much better. Top job mate . Here in Australia these sold out really fast but I've found a shop that still has a few. Great work mate👌👍💪
Great video Andy. It seems to be running good. I added oil shocks to mine and run a Tamiya BZ motor. It'll pop wheelies.
I do like the BZ motors :) they are nice and torquey. It certainly runs a lot better now than it did first time out
4WS is easy on Futaba. Have it set to go from 2WS to 4WS just hitting a button. It's very handy !
Using the PX7R think it still works on the 4PX too.
That would be very cool 👌 but I don’t think my handset is that advanced 😂 Be a good set up to try though , curious to see what it’s like 👍
@@andyrobinsonrc2480 Originally had the Ubiquitous Dubbo radio and had it on a toggle. It was unsealable. Have a short video posted on my channel doing it on the TLT-1. Having the back end move about at speed isn't a good feeling lol
Hi, running nice. Going to build mine soon and never been a fan of the friction shocks, you say yeah racing 6mm shocks. That’s the big bore one. Thanks.
Hi there , the shocks weren’t big bores just a normal std size they are 60mm in length, from yeah racing . Cheers for watching
Can you please post a link to shocks. I can only find the big bore ones
Nice upgrades! That 15T motor is great. It's the same one I put in my Squash Van
Runs great mate, love it 👍
Awesome job! Best squash I've seen so far! I just subscribed to your channel. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
What colour do you have on the body? Is that mix of paints or one paint name?
This is a massive improvement, much more fun, I would be tempted to stick with the 4ws, makes it something different 👍
It’s true the 4ws does make it a little different but I think if I was going to use it a lot or put any more power through it needs to be 2ws . Cheers for watching :)
Much better Andy! Looks a fun one for the beach! The rear steering is interesting for sure but like you said probably not a big benefit!
This would be good with brushless l think! Iol like the squash van in tamiya's little promo video had in it!
Thanks for braving the cold mate cheers James.
Hi James , no worries. I think if it was to
Be brushless it just wants to be 2ws as it’s less twitchy and more stable , otherwise it would handle the power fine , drivetrain’s strong enough to
Goes a lot better now
Cheers James , it’s much better now ;)
Love the way the body turned out!
Hi Andy. Brilliant video as always. Can you please tell my what shock oil you used as im just about to build my shocks and unsure what oil weight to use.thanks.
Hi Paul the oil that comes with the shocks is 300cst I basically used that you could probably use 400cst and be fine as well , same cst oil in all 4 shocks. ;) cheers fella
Great video pal. What a mint day as well. 👍🏻
Cheers Steve :) thanks for watching , it was a nice day but a bit cold
Great video mate 👍 looks well! good job 👏
Bit more pep, nice one Andy :)
Andy, will bigger wheels fit on this? Like Clod sized or SMT10?
Please keep it 4ws.
It’s definitely staying 4ws for now as it’s going up against the clod Buster for fun
