Yes, you need one. I have one and run it on our local Rally track. LOVE IT! Great video showing it out in the wild, as well. Makes me want to switch things up a bit!
I have always been a fan of Tamyia, when I got into the hobby it was the only manufacturer I would buy also having to build these kits and I built a lot of the, it really connected you to the car you purchased and drove.
I’ve a XV01, a really good and fun car, one of Tamiya’s best these days. I’ve heard some prefer the XV01 over the XV02 though.
Compared to crawlers, the rally cars would benefit being a 1/8 or even 1/6th scale - I’ve too the experience of having a hard time finding a spot where there’s just the right amount of off-road surface, but without the belly acting as a sled on too rough stuff. I feel with you! 😄 Nice review, and a really nice Tamiya rally car!
the xv02 is disappointment compared to the xv01, things a floppy mess
A baseball diamond with cones would have been the right place. Looks cool.
Aww, what a cool little trail and nice RC! I can find those kinds of spots, but it will take some full scale driving.😁 The newer WRC cars are growing on me. Thanks for showing!
Great vid, Greg! I own one since the day they were released, as well as a few XV01s, LC Racing PTG2R (my favorite!) and other rally RCs, I can give a few more notes:
- As you said, it's a great adjustable and long stroke suspension, but you'll benefit more, if you corner balance it with the battery and body you'll use.
- Beware of the steering bridge, especially where it connects to the servo rod. Even with a servo saver, these have been prone to crack (also with the aftermarket aluminum ones). Try filling the hole in the bridge's "triangle" with Shoe Goo to reinforce it, or with some other resistant, yet sort of flexible glue. I wouldn't use a rigid glue, as it'll only make it more brittle.
- Front CVDs are a bit short, and can come off in some extreme cases of extension+turning. I've switched to a slightly larger rod 2mm more iirc, and problem solved.
- Some of the decisions, like the nut opposite the triangle on the steering assembly, inside the diff casing, is a head scratcher for its use, other than you forget about properly tightening it, and getting a well milled diff case gears... careful if you ever disassembly it.
- Optional center diff adds another layer of tuning and it's quite interesting, since it was my first RC with a center diff. The very low viscosity oil that comes with the diff is actually a tad stiff, and I'd recommend an even yet "softer" one to maximize the lift-off turn-in benefits of the center diff.
- Front body posts from an XV01 can be straight fitted on the front suspension plate, and will align all 4 posts (rear are in the same position) as on your other XV01 bodies. Can come in handy to avoid making extra holes.
I just built a XV-01 kit... Fun build!!
I DO NOT miss cutting out all of the decals for mine lol
Comes with ball bearings? Allright tamiya.
Oil shocks too
@@norrisdustlessblasting4507 I expect every hobby grade RC to have oil filled shocks 😅
Have you seen the price? I'd expect that, whether it's a Tamiya or not.
This Rally car is awesome
You’re right, rally stuff is pretty fun, if you have somewhere to run it. They are low to the ground 4x4s, haha.
YES I DO NEED ONE
Buggies and SCT are fun to watch in a track but a rally car is just way more enjoyable and realistic i might get this kit and build a backyard track waiting for winter and run it on snow and all terrains
Love that Yaris look!
Good to see you promoting a decent brand for a change....
Hex that's just crazy talk 😂love this one looks awesome 👌
Nice one! And yes we need Rally rc cars in our lives!!! Looks awesome with that body! cheers
I'm building a open to public rc rallycross track in Oregon. We will offer rentals and have all the amenities of a normal dirt track. It's has been slow in the making since I'm disabled but hopefully spring of 2024 we will be fully open and ready. Hope you'll make the trip to try and take on my xv01 long damper spec! Awesome content
Thats looks like a blast
Wow... spettacolare...bel modello ...il telaio XV 02 pro è fantastico !!!.. ciao dall'Italia
Very good looking kit! I do love rally cars and the Yaris body is killer.
Unbelievably QUIET!!!! I’m amazed.
It deserves a very cool sound module imho
ultimate is the hpi wr8 without a doubt.
The chassis cover would be great for taking through some fresh clean snow...making a custom chssis cover seems like a little to much work...
I want to make a tt02b hybrid with this .
I noticed they use some of the tt02 parts . I’ll see how it goes
some damper upgrade, softer springs, I think there are many ways to improve this car. But will my Tamiya TA02 Ford Escort Cosworth be better? I'll see.
Looks cool but I think it would be better as an eighth scale!I think it would Look more scale when driving. Great video 😎
Oh by the way they have a different Yaris rally body than that it's based on the hybrid model.
Nice car and cool vid but you would have had more fun if you took it to Hammonasset and got on some sand covers parking lots. Yea, that would have been cool
You know the Yaris would actually have a shorter wheelbase than what this represents on the xv02 I don't know why they made that body with a long-wheelbase
To get the idea what I'm talking about look at the Yaris gr that they sold in Europe and Japan.
I have a drag racing version of the ff03 and these are a bit fragile for me. A rally car is going to jump and haul ass over dirt and gravel. I done think this will take it.
your bmx track is better suited. i got this when it came out, built but never ran. cant find a nice body for it. great video
Cant you jack the ride height up? Looks like its set up for tarmac.
Отличнач машина 🎉🎉🎉
as much as i would love to get a rc rally car, i dont think 1/10 is the right scale for that. All 1/10 rally chassis still lack enough ground clearence to run on these forest trails. someone should start a 1/8 rally chassis platform like the arrma chassis with 3-4cm ground clearence to get them going.
I know we need to remove the batteries for charging but they sure do make it hard sometimes..
Question. Can you widen the track to fit 190-200mm bodies?
Obviously.
Tamiya seem completely oblivious to the idea of 'easily removable batteries' in many of their chassis.
Just look at the new Avante. 🤦🏻♂️
@@TheTruthHz Dont remove the battery then. Easy fix.
@@cutterbacon great, an RC car that I can't charge the battery for. Brilliant.
But hey, if you're happy to charge lipo (or any} cells, unseen and in the vehicle, you go right ahead. 🤦🏻♂️
@@TheTruthHz Try traxxas crap you tamiya hater. Call you mr traxxas.
Why is there a capacitor on the ESC?
It aids the full throttle max power from standstill burst power.
....and helps prevent brown-outs
How about the Tamiya Hotshot.
Xv-01 is better imo. The front motor, rigid chasis, and unique driving feel. Heard that PTG2r is also a good rally car...
What the price ??
400$ CAN, no body, its expensive
Traxxas Rally 379$ CAN all included
good video thanks
Who would ever want a traxxas? Over a tamiya lol.
@@cutterbacon lol
It depends on what you're looking for. Tamiyas are great scale rc cars, traxxas are great bashers. Two different use cases!
@@user-ff2mu4fh4v Tamiya come in kit form so you can learn every aspect of your own build. Traxxas have nothing close to tamiya for learning and building rc.
@@cutterbacon I'm aware, I own both, but not everyone is trying to assemble and learn everything about their build. Traxxas are great products generally and are well built, it's great for someone getting into the hobby. Building a tamiya as a first experience could discourage some people. That said, my tt02 is my favorite rc car in my small collection, it's mine and I built it :)
Is it the same cheap plastic like the tamiya TT-02? I am wondering if it can take jumps.
Probably, but the tt02 isn't really cheap plastic, it's pretty decent. Besides rally cars aren't really meant for big jumps but you can jump your tt02 to a certain extent
It's Tamiya😅 so yeah. Not trying to offend people but their stuff is just closer to toy grade.
@@stijndepuis2751 tamiya has different levels of plastic, tt02 plastic is pretty much toy grade while their TRF TCs use some of the highest quality plastics in the game
Everything looked like a go, untill I saw the typical Tamiya plastic diffs. Nothing over 2s I guess.
For the money, I'd want it to handle better that "pretty good".
id there a ready to race version?
Just the kit.
@@rcdriver oh ok
@@rcdriver is there a beginner kit?
.Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe..
By the time you're done speccing this kit (and installing upgrades like a strut brace, essential because I have never seen an RC car with so much flex) you will have paid about the same as a Mojave 6S. The kit alone costs about the same as a Limitless. And there is no comparison between these platforms. This is pretty much all cheap plastic.
Where is the value in this? I bought one and feel robbed. I don't recommend this.
@@joaopaulo-ms5it You said it best yourself. “There is no comparison between these two platforms” This is a hobby. Everyone has their own likes. If someone wants a rally car, they want…. a rally car. Not a Desert truck. And as a hobby, people are willing to use their modeling skills to tune, build, alter their model however they wish. That’s literally what a hobby is about.
tamiya is kinda overpriced. can't stand against lc racing here
Carpet car
Plastic gears is a no go for me.
Too low. Not for off-road. Nowhere to use this. Pointless. Get an on road touring car since you need a track anywaY
this is a real joke. Sorry Tamiya.......but really this is not a proper pro rally car. If you compare it to HPI's KEN block's brussless rally car is a day and night. The only thing i love is the body. Yes they did an excellent job there. Apart from that i hate seeing plastic everywhere....
Not really, too small ground clearance.
XV-01 is better
plastic diffs,, WTF
waste of good body shell.
Tamiya equals plastic.😂
The diffs on the XV01 are plastic as well. That car is better though, lower CG, no torque steer and less chassis flex.
SO HOW HARD ARE THE TAMIYA CARS AND TRUCKS KITS TO PUT TOGETHER. I have Never got a kit. I ALWAYS GET RTR’s.
Tamiya has some great instructions, they’re good kits to learn to build with.
Some are easy to build some not so. The txt 1 can be a bit of a dick and so can the tt01 type e type r needing 2 different manuals to build.
shame u test it on such crap terrain way way out scale rocks for size of car much rather see it on scale terrain .... just looks like a crappy toy on this
If I had a better option to test it on I would have. But after driving to numerous locations trying to find a spot, I just had to roll with what’s available to me.
I think tamiya makes really nice bodies but as for the actual chassis’ they leave a lot to be desired, they just look and feel so toy grade .
