Nice Buggy. Those tyres actually wear very well, even on tarmac. I had the neo Scorcher on the TT02B chassis, ran a lot nicer with afew upgrades. Larger pinion, Speed gear set & bearings.
Thanks Adam 😊👊🏻
Lovely buggy! I've fancied getting holdd of a Plasma Edge II for a while. It just has the right level of retro styling!
Sweet thanks for watching my friend 😊👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends Thank you for the video.
I think that one goes quite well on either surface, looks great too. Yet another one I need to add to my letter to Santa! 😁👍
Cheers Mick 😎👊🏻
Some great hop ups for this, have probably spent more on hop ups than the original car 🤫 great video as always Glenn, and just shows you can have fun straight out of the box
Excellent that’s what i was actually trying out show on the video 😎👊🏻
Just got 1 of these perfect whilst reversing and going forward is instant but when going forward and press reverse it takes a while too stop, how do I fix this please
fun is all we ever want and upgrades . what a great buggy keep up the great work buddy
Thanks Brett 😊👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends your welcome mate
Looks nice I actually like it , the BZ motor , bearings and the high speed gear set would make a big difference. The thing I don’t like about the tt-02 is how much debris gets into the chassis when your driving it . Great video Glenn . Time to get serious and do some upgrades 👍
Eric Wood
Thanks Eric 😊👊🏻
Awesome video Glenn mate I must say it does look and go the part🤟😎😊🇬🇧👊👍
Thanks buddy 😎👊🏻
Its nice to go back to how Tamiya intended! Great vid!
Thanks buddy 😊👊🏻
Reminded me of a top force for some reason. Looks nice and planted for a stock buggy. Be interested to see a few upgrades. Thanks for the video Glenn.
Thanks Wade 🤩👊🏻
That's cool. Great video.
Thanks buddy 😎👊🏻
I agree, that looks really cool and a well balanced buggy. With a few hop ups, i.e bearings and quicker motor I think it could put in some quick lap times at the track.
I too would like to see some GPS speed times before and after bearings. I think bearings would improve the speed and throttle response quite a lot.
Arnold Applewhite
Excellent thanks for watching and leaving a comment buddy 😎👊🏻
Great video as always. I'm liking this TT02B. I bought a DF-02 a few weeks back with the same bodyshell so this video has bumped it up towards the top of the restoration ladder. I'm a big fan of the TT01 chassis and I've been thinking of adding a TT02 to the collection. After watching this I think a TT02-B is now a must-have..!! Keep up the great work Glen... 👍
Fantastic Phillip 🤩🤩🤩
Just goes to show not a lot of money gets a load of fun! 👊
Absolutely my friend 🤩🤩🤩
Great car Glenn. Love to get my hands on one. Unfortunately in Melbourne at the moment nobody is getting any stock and I don’t want to pay $100 or more to get it shipped from overseas. Keep up the great videos.
just get one from rcmart,I did
Thanks Andy hopefully you’ll get some Tamiya kits in the near future 😊👊🏻
Justin Thorsson Could easily do that but I don’t want to pay $100 for delivery
Adjustable turnbuckles, ball bearings, perhaps undertray, bit stiffer shocks.
The tt02b tends too flip forward in jumps so watch out for that.
I'd wait with the aluminium propshaft until you upgrade the power on this it should hold up for a brushed motor still, specially with low grip.
If you can measure the motor temperatures at the next video feel free to do so too see if you can go up in pinion gear size on the tt02b without it affecting the stock motor temperatures very much.
Thanks for the great feedback my friend 😎👊🏻
I'd love to see a GPS speed meter run before and after bearings with no other changes.
On it’s way my friend 🤩👊🏻
I honestly don’t think there will be any difference with modern electrics .
The brass bushings in my astute wheels were amazingly smooth.
30km/h
This is a fantastic video. Gives beginners a look at how a stock platform actually goes. Nice one man.
build my son first with no bearing then next build he saw difference,,your the king
Excellent thanks for watching Lee 😎👊🏻
The torque turned motor seems to go alright. It seems noticeably better than the standard silver can.
Yeah it went well, I should really do a comparison with those motors in the future 😊👊🏻
Well that was fine Glen for out of the box!!!. Not to bad at all👍👍👍👍
Thanks Darren yeah I thought it went well tbh 😎👊🏻
I think you are underrating that buggy,it looks great to me.
Alastair Mulholland
Thanks for watching Alastair 😊👊🏻
Nice to start from stock and see the difference each upgrade makes. Awesome still shots btw!
Thanks Rob 😎👊🏻
nice colour
Thanks Stephan 😎👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends thank you for the video!
Do a video series on upgrades, what works, makes a difference etc.. 👍🏼😎
Yeah that’s the plan my friend 😎👊🏻
Another great video glen, glad you haven't stopped yet!
hmmm I think that will be a good starting point for a newbie like me.... Like the look too
Excellent yeah it’s a great car to start with 😊👊🏻
Something can be said for simplicity sometimes. Great vid!
Will’s RC
Yep I totally agree 😊👊🏻
What a great buggy keep up the great work buddy.
Thank you 😊😊😊
That looks like a pretty good buggy. I like the design too. Great video!😃👍
Thanks buddy 😎👊🏻
Thanks for the video, looking forward to the “Tamiya stadium track” I’ve got this kit kicking about in the loft somewhere 🤷🏻♂️
Steve
Thanks for watching Steve 😊👊🏻
Would of been cool to of done a speed run as stock without bearings to see if the bearings made any difference in terms of speed. Great little buggy for the cost. Great video thanks buddy 👍🏻
I’ll definitely do that before any upgrade are done my friend 🤩👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends awesome 👊🏻
Hi 👋
Really enjoyed watching the 3 episodes on this build.. great channel
Looking forward to seeing the upgrades 👍
Coming soon my friend 🤩👊🏻
Nice buggy and watching it in action kind of reminds me back in the day i used to run standard Terra Scorchers and Fire dragon buggies, then i upgraded them to silly speeds lol.
Lol we all do that my friend 🤪👊🏻
now i wanna get my butt into gear and start building , that was fun to watch building the neo fighter metallic green first then ill build this as i have been slack lately , taking weeks to finish off this frog want it to be pristine , tyre writing the lot, painted driver no visible cables decals on can silver motor want it to be great for the shelf off course but blackfoot on the way , cr01 Rock Socker ,425 Unimog and Porsche 911 GT1 street also are awaiting building/assembling ,just finished the Hotshot re re and have bought a couple of ready to runs to be honest and also an Axial UMG10 also needs to be assembled and thats a big build kit lots of parts and polly carb to cut , paint and decal so gotta pull my finger out and get cracking on building , also got hold of a kyosho 1/8 Nitro Neo 3.0 Inferno ive been wanting to take out the box and run the motor inn , need to have a bit of fun in between builds but hard to find time tbo, cheers Glen love the Plasma Edge II , its a real looker too and the FaceBook Page Tamiya Legends has so many nice people on there too btw great page love it , cheers again bud :-)
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment my friend 🤩👊🏻
Looks good. Ordered a Neo Scorcher.. 😉
Excellent my friend 😎👊🏻
Thanks for this awesome video, v interesting watching! Nice looking buggy, slight Top Force resemblance maybe. Keen to see it progress!
Thanks Paul 😊👊🏻
I think it looks beautiful Glenn. One of the best looking low to mid priced Tamiya cars impo! Pretty fast too! I’d say about 22-25mph? 💪👍
wesley donnelly
Cheers Wes 😎👊🏻
Great video as always Glen. Been waiting for this one to see how mine compared. Looks like we came to the same conclusion. Needs a bit more grunt and turning circle is a bit wide. Already put a speed precision 10.5t and Hobbywing 10BL60 sensored brushless setup in mine and it rips pretty good now. Got a motor mount to fit and then I'm going to look at strengthening the internals I think. Be interesting to see what upgrade path you take.
Excellent Steve thanks for comment my friend 😎👊🏻
Love mine Glen.... but got the Bz motor and the hop up shaft and high speed gear set and bearings... makes a real difference.. great vid tho 😃
Wow Paul I bet that’s a work apart from this one 🤪🚗💨💨💨
Great video as always Glenn
Looks an interesting project to follow you along the upgrade path with.
Thanks Craig 😊👊🏻
Great vid buddy as always,seems to be a great buggy with lots of potential,would a sport tuned along with bearings make a big difference?
Yeah there’s soooo many upgrades for this car, have to be careful with the Tamiya tokens on this one 😂👊🏻
Just got one of these. With a Tamiya 17.5t Brushless motor on 2s and using a 19t pinion I got a top end of 17 mph. Having dynoed the motor the 17.5 turn only put out 18000 or so rpm which is lower than the torque tuned. Going to try a 15.5 soon.
Looking forward to finishing mine
Be good to see the gps before and after upgrades
Excellent video 👍👍
Ian At50
Coming soon my friend 🤩👊🏻
Cool nice rc looks fast
Thanks Keith 😎👊🏻
I run a Neo Scorcher with a 13.5T Brushless on the standard ESC with a cheap 2S Lipo, it is so much fun!!! Just fit the bearings & alu propshaft, end cups & high speed gear set with alu motor mount and its cracking... :-)
On brushed, these tires are stronger than you can imagine. It wasn't till I put a brushless 3s system in it that it started to show signs of wear. Especially on wet surfaces where the wheels spin..
Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
Thanks fella a bog standard review with nylon bushings.
Had the platform great rig. I put and old speed gem motor in it.
Speed Gem 🤩🤩🤩
Great fun it is!
Perfectly put my friend 🤩👊🏻
Tamiya shoukd have put a bit more into this, has a look of the old stool buggies. Woukd have been nice to see a boomerang 2 or hotshot 3 etc etc .
Looks a good starter project buggy not to pricey decent chassis and can be modded faster
Nice little RC, I might buy it, haven't had one in over 25+ years. I don't like the one's that are too loud and big. It's $200 Canadian vs the other ones that are 500 too 1000... It's worth it.
Excellent my friend you’ll enjoy this kit 🤩👊🏻
Looks good balance.
Thanks for watching buddy 😎👊🏻
Looks nice Glenn need more videos on the tt02b 👍
Looking at getting one of these...Thanks for the. vid!
Looks good on the gravel!
Not sure how I missed this one :) it does look good!
Hello Glenn I wos looking forward to more videos on the tt02b with the upgraded parts 👊👊
My new TT02B project performance video series starts on Wednesday my friend 😇👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends happy days Glenn looking forward to that 👊👊
Nice car, especially for the price.
Totally agree Mark, although you could double the cost in hop ups if you’re not careful 🤪👊🏻
We have a club that races these
Also a group page
With the hop ups and big upgrades these tt02b are awesome but end up expensive in the end but well worth it
I've wondered if I should get a Neo Scorcher as a lender car to people I have over to drive. I love building kits.
Yeah it’s the perfect car for that with the spares being readable available and so cheap 😊👊🏻
Upgrades upgrades n upgrades
Absolutely my friend 🤩🤩🤩
No ball-bearing??? What must Tamiya have been thinking? Even the cheapest Banggood car models have double ball-bearings on each wheel-hub! It is the 2020s we live in!
Put it to the floor man and watch out lol another awesome review
Thanks buddy 😎👊🏻
Hi Glenn! I looked this vid. You need to upgrazthe tt-02... It's awesome at the end. I updated the speed gear and some Carbon fun. And it needs a alloy shaft. I runn it on a 17t modelcraft cheep motor but fast like hell. Also i locked the front diff.
Looks nice...A bit faster and it would be awesome!
Yeah needs a pair upgrade 🤩🚗💨💨💨
Say what you want about Tamika but this is dam fine looking buggy
thats a peach ive got the neo brilliant buggy
Mark Hollinshead
Cheers Mark 😊👊🏻
Looks great, I might get one,😀
Would love to see the difference just gearing would make. My Super Astute with Superstock BZ seems slow, but motor gets hot. If you ran torque tuned plus high speed gear set I bet the tt02b would be close to perfect?
crnkin2
Yeah I’ll definitely be trying that in the future 😊👊🏻
Glad you need to find a tl01 because the drive shaft is followed through and through.
Look quite similar to top force.
Great video.. I've just ordered a Plasma Edge 2 for my first model getting back into the hobby after 20 years away. Can you run 2s lipo with the stock motor and esc? If so which do you recommend to fit in the plasma edge. Also I fancy running disc wheels like the ones you used in this video which would you recommend. Many thanks Glen.. 👍🏻
What is the running time running stock ? I’ve been away from the hobby for a long time and in my day you got five minutes !
Around 25 minutes my friend 😊👊🏻
Hi Glenn tried all rear tire is will grip better.
Excellent thanks for the feedback buddy 😎👊🏻
Forgive me if I've missed it, but will you be upgrading and testing this buggy again soon? Loving it so far 😎👊👍
I am new to rc cars and I just finished this same buggy and wanted to put on road tires on it like you did. May be a dumb question but how do I determine what size to use? I know the front and rear are 2 different sizes but having a hard time finding online those sizes in on road tires. Also, how do I determine what size foam inserts for both on and off road tires? Like i said, a newbie. Lol
heloo, awesome viddeoo!:)
Thanks for watching 😎👊🏻
Hey Glenn , just picked this car up from a shop in the states for $129. Looking forward to building g this but think I'm going to get the yeah racing performance conversion kit. Cost more than the car but looks sweet. Have you done it?
Say, can you use the 19 T pinion together with the torque tune motor?
why most of the bumper of buggies are so small?
Nice car, but you need to throw those bushings in the trash and get some rubber-sealed bearings!
Are there any good dirt tracks within the GTA?
Not many but I’m always looking my friend 😎👊🏻
John Higgins?
Im sure Tamiya intended for you to fork out for all the hop ups costing more than the car itself
How do you film and drive?
Sometimes I have help, tbh without that extra set of hands I’d be stuffed lol 😂
Good little buggy. Looking forward to get this little sprinter. With brushless motor and some experiments.
But shakiness of the video makes me dizzy. Get a gimbal or a cameraperson :-)
Where are all your videos???
I would never ever built it without ball bearings you got some ball bearings. Lol
Brad Kalman
Love it 🤪👊🏻
No BMX Track 😢
Loads of videos from there coming soon my friend 😎👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends I am a brushed guy. The switch of my TEU302BK is broken and i change this ESC for a Dynatech 02H upgrade to a german LRP F1 Bullet ESC. This ESC have a powermeter, so you can trim the power from turtle to warp drive. At the Moment i use the Graupner Speed 500 BB Race VS (Dynatech 01R). Now i know why this esc have the Name Bullet. You have so much more power on the Motor. If you have the Chance to change your esc to a nowak or other race esc´s, do it.
So what now? Do you just drive around in circles? I don't get it.
The purpose of a hobby grade off-road RC buggy is to drive wherever and however you want. There's no right or wrong way to drive the car. Moreover, this video is supposed to be a test run. The video maker just demonstrated how the car performed after he's completed building it straight out of the box, and gave his opinion on it.
@@manat31790 I bet it doesn't take long for you to clear a bar out.
Think that would make a great first buggy for somebody getting into the hobby. I like the looks of it. Not dissimilar to my Gravel Hound
Yeah it’s a great entry level buggy Nigel 😎👊🏻
