Geek clarification alert! 🚨 Paul Ricard is a circuit in France where they initially tested the car. Jean-Louis Schlesser was one of the Mercedes works drivers so he may well have done some testing for them. Absolutely beautiful car with fantastic attention to detail in real life and on the Tamiya version. Just got mine through the post and I can’t wait to build it! 👍
Cool video very informative about the actual race car, liked that ;) nice , looking forward to your build, I filmed my unboxing earlier today as well . Looking forward to to building it as I’ve also never had a Group c chassis by Tamiya before :)
Hi Gavin its a lovely looking car i may buy one later then run it in at the back of my house on the road iam waiting for the jag coming to keep the great videos coming
@@RCKickschannel if you ever get a chance I highly recommend getting the kyosho plazma lm series. Their bodies were highly detailed and the wheel wells actually line up! They came with both pre painted and clear bodies and cockpit/drivers. I'm glad I picked up the Porsche, Mazda and Toyota versions they look brilliant showcased on the shelf next to my mini z lm collection :)
Please would you do a video of the best way to trim and paint these bodies as I never seem to get a clean cut, runs in the paint and air bubbles or creases in the decals, many thanks.
Take a look at one of these RCKicks painting videos, it has a load of info for you. ua-cam.com/video/yCLyS4i-ijI/v-deo.html or ua-cam.com/video/Nh-1poc9u3c/v-deo.html
5:43 I can't believe they're still using those snap on tie rod ends. Once or twice you put them on and remove them for alignment and they start to get loose and pop off easily after that.
Love it. Mine is sitting in the box still and I'm too scared to build it because I want it to be perfect. Would love to see you do a build video to see how you go :)
Good morning everybady ! I have a question: Do you have found a ESC Tamiya in this item?? In this video there is ESC included in a box minute 2.35 of the video. Can you tell me if you find or not in a Box and where are you from? Thanks.
Only friction "dampers" on the front axle with no possible way to turn that into oil dampened without replacing it. I wouldn't use this as a speed run platform.
Sure you don't want to go brushless on this? Just a mild brushless setup? I hope your not teasing about the Silkcut Jag coming back. I'd likely take the plunge if it is on this same chassis, the Tamiya pan and F series cars are quick! Are you going to be doing the 6 wheeler?
I have the TS020 on F103, I tried a brushless and it was insane!!i think the silver can is plenty quick on direct drives. Back in the day it was 19 turn on F1s, not sure what that is brushless??
@@RCKickschannel Wasn't a dig at your title thumb nail, sorry if it came across like that. I managed to get one but feel for those who haven't. Can't wait to see you build it and pick up your tips! 👍🏻
One thing that kills me about these "kits"....they are effectively one kit underneath and the only difference is the body which the mold can be made quite cheaply and easily. It's not like the drive train or chassis is unique. I have a CNC machine that can machine a plug (mold) for just about anything that comes in an STL file.
@@RCKickschannel I'm getting back into RC and thinking of all that I can do with it. I got into casting aluminum parts using molds I made with the CNC, they were rough, and needed fine tuning, but it was a start. I built it myself and "should" be able to machine soft aluminum but since I use it for business and income I haven't pushed it. I could literally make all the parts to convert a car that is mostly plastic, into aluminum. This is my second, and I'm outgrowing it, so the next one definitely will be able to do aluminum so I could literally start making axles, driveshafts, motor mounts, all out of aluminum. Here's a little sample of something I made. I carved it out of foam on my cnc, then cast it in aluminum. There's a bunch more things if you want to check them out facebook.com/muskokacustomwoodcrafting/photos/1500538640238568
@@muskokamike127 My friend, I have a 3D printer and I make Fibreglass bodies, looking into getting a Vacuum former to make my own proper Lexan bodies, best method!! CNC machines are another level of awesome though!!
@@freddieparrydrums Yeah there's 2 schools: additive (3d printing) or negative (cnc) one adds material to create the shape the other removes. If you can find a used vac former great but a good alternative is a used pizza oven or even a used stove. You can literally make a vac former with a shop vac, pegboard, and some plywood. If you're into 3d printing, have you heard about the carbon fibre 3d printing? Supposed to be next best thing to sintered and then you have the research on "cold" metal 3d printing. I was going to make a ford ranger body for my WLtoys 144001 but the scale was all off. I just picked up a CR-24 so I might do something for that. I actually was into aluminum casting for a while. I would cut the shape out of foam, pack it in the sand flask, pour in the liquid aluminum. The only thing for precision though I could never get the shrinkage rate correct.
@@muskokamike127 Wow, really really interesting stuff!! I’ve done some 3D modelling work, so would be really fun to come up with some contraptions and see how far I can take it. I definitely can’t afford a vac former, I’d love the opportunity to either go the DIY route or find one for a reasonable price, awesome bit of kit that would give me so much freedom, probably be able to make a small business out of it too!! Didn’t even know of the carbon fibre printing, very interesting stuff, will have to do some research on that one for sure!! My dad owns a 71 Rover P5B, so I’ve always dreamt of making an RC body for it. Got round to 3D printing a model, next step was making a plug and fibreglassing it, sure would be fantastic to make some lexan bodies out of it though, maybe it’d be popular in the banger racing world!! Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing man, there aren’t always too many videos on niche stuff like this, I’d love to give it a shot… These things are my passion and I love the freedom of creating my own stuff!! 👍

I have the f40 and the Mazda. I hope they release these with the finished bodies. Re release of the Jaguar would be very welcome!
YepI would love one
ditto...got the F40 and Mazda...would love this and one of the 1970 Porsche 917K

Nice new intro music, we’ll done!
That’s a real beauty dude!….would love the Jaguar to come out followed by the Mazda 787 too…..please Tamiya 🤞🏻
Looks vary good. I remember that car. It was awesome.
Well said regarding where you can use these, I saw this kit on the shelf in jadlam shop yesterday and almost bought it, looks so good 👌
I have the 2008 release; it was a very quick build, more so with the finished body.
Sweet ride can’t want to see it built and running. 🚗
Anxiously awaiting its arrival in the US. Been on preorder for what seems like months.
Great vid 👍 looks awesome, mines just arrived thanks to Jadlam models so can't wait to build it 😎
Waiting for the Nissan R91CP or the Mazda 787B.....
The Worlds!! Im looking forward to that!

a few of us will be running these around the track at force during a test session in the near future :)
Super lucky. I wish Force was closer to me.
I pre ordered the c11 I thought it just came with a sport tuned 540 motor but ok nice it comes with the hobby wing esc so that’s nice to know
Looking forward to RC10 worlds car big time ...nice 👍🏼
Yep it should be fun
I love this race car. Great video, production quality is very good. Will you be comparing the FTX Vantage 2.0 to the Maverick Phantom XB?
FTX Vantage was better.
@@RCKickschannel oh ok perfect thank you 😁
Mine just arrived. Managed to get a cockpit for it too.
Ooo whats the cockpit part no??
Hello from southeast alaska. That car is sick bro
Thanks. Yep it’s a looker for sure.

@@RCKickschannel good luck. The body is everything with this thing so keen to hear your tips
My thinking exactly...want it to be perfect,.still can't believe I have a C11 after chasing these on ebay/auctions forever.
@@sjdz8123 Same here
Would like to see the full process for masking and painting this one.

This kit comes with ball bearings?
Can’t remember now sorry
I do not understand why Tamiya doesn´t bring the Zakspeed Capri with the Group C chassis.
Strange that. One to do yourself
Sold out in Aus as best as I can see and folks trying to fob them off for $600 aud on ebay.
I'm looking forward to get one, hopefully i'm not too late
I would move fast. More will be coming in a second batch if you don’t get one of the first.
I hope they release the Mazda 787B
Yep that would be cool. I cant see why not
How does the L&L 787 body compare?
@@sjdz8123 I don’t know, be nice to have the real deal tho 😉
Out now, more like sold out now!
