Great car and video. Tamiya Brings back great memories from being a teenager. I saved and saved and ended up with 3 Tamiya RC buggies with my parents help. I had The Frog, Wild Willy Jeep and the Boomerang. I preferred the Boomerang as if recall, was 4X4 and also seemed quicker. I made my Father laugh once as just before going to school one day I put The Boomerang under an empty box with Ariel sticking out. Bin Men/Garbage Men came to throw rubbish in the wagon. One came for the box as I watched from a window in my house, he got closer. When about to pick it up, it shot off up the street at speed. It frightened the life out of him. LOL!!!!! I would love to get another and do a review on it as now an adult.
Being a Ford guy this thing is AWESOME and then the spoiler just adds to the cool factor. im now thinking about getting one of my own for a cool build! great job Greg!
That thing is so detailed and looks so fun to drive! I want one so badly! Awesome track and car and review! Love the video like always!
I hold the TT02 very close to my heart. I love that it's such an entry level car but can become competitive if you put time into it. It's also super versatile being that it can go from a touring car to rally, drift, 4WD and finally buggy. I'm glad it's getting all the love it deserves and I hope that they release a TT03 chassis in the future. But I honestly don't know how they can improve on such a modular design
Yeahh for those reasons im buying a tt02 chassis with some upgrades later ! Great fun for the money
Thanks for the video. I picked this car up two days after watching, it's my first Tamiya and I can't wait to build it.
I want to get one. See if I can. Only problem I don't live in america and not sure if we have hobby shops that have it.
Great build👍👍 This has inspired me to start looking at Tamiya kits again. I have not built a Tamiya kit since 2009.
“Build kits are on the rise.” Sounds like we’re going back to the 80s. I’m ok with this.
Well, if the 80’s were filled with boredom and a pandemic
I've just ordered one online before seeing this video. Now I can't wait to receive it. Hurry up Mr Postman
That's going to be a great build. That Mustang Body is killer! Great Job! 👍👍👍👍
I wouldn't have a problem with more vids like this. Good stuff.
just finished my first Tamiya build a few days ago, Built the King Yellow School bus took a little over 3hrs for chassis yet to paint body no paint booth in house and not warm enough to make one..Looking forward to makeing another one this year i hear Tamiya 2019 release calendar has LOTS of nice kits
WOW thats awesome! I'm a big Tamiya fan n mustang fan, this is perfect for me. I just built a TT-02 a couple months ago for one of my Tamiya build-offs but I just gotta have this one
Talking about declas, I just finished the new Tamiya Buggyra Fat Fox n it had at least 150 decals or more, there was soooo many! lol
What’s the top speed?
Watching from the land of Tamiya, driving a Grasshopper version 2, Tamiya great fun 👍🏻
Thats looks sick nice car👍
Nice video, tamiya it’s a great brand , dude I want your T-shirts are awesome, like always hi from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 🇺🇸🤜🏻🤛🏻 take care and hope see another great video
That’s a sick car bro!
Great review! Awesome car...
A few weeks ago I bought one someone was selling. I love it
It's up there with my Vettera c10 v100 pick-up
I was just about to buy a tt02 neo scorcher but I saw this and I looks awesome. Also I love the mustang
@@justinmarcos5496 I dunno 🤷♀️ 🥺👉👈 seems kinda cringe to me
Once again a good video!
Cool you got one already. I was looking at this but decided i want the Audi Quattro more :)
Nice box from Tamiya. They usually just stick a picture on their TT-02 boxes.
The Audi is pretty awesome too! I don't usually keep boxes, but I'm going to keep this one.
Nice review, i am looking at getting one just for something to do, im surprised how fast it is for just a stock brushed motor, and the fact the ESC can handle a brushless is really nice. I believe I have a 21T Brushless motor just doing nothing
The Gun Metal color looks great. I just built my first Tamiya and it took 2 days and the driver looks terrible but the good thing is he can be repainted. Lot's of fun building. It's like a stress reliver.
Wonderful video
Good car
I own the TT02 Honda Acura NSX and it is awesome. I've owned it for several months and run it at my local Target store parking lot at least once a week. Gone through a couple sets of tires, but no problems at all. Great car. If you can't find the mustang or want something a little more exotic looking, check out the NSX.
Does it come with a controller?
Gotta get me one of those. Not available at my local store here in the UK yet.. I just hope Tamiya launch a 1/24 scale detail kit of the GT4 Mustang??
Came here because I own one of these kits. First time hobby RCer and this was my kit. I admit though I went a bit TOO crazy all at once and save for a few parts like the universal shafts, adjustable camber arms and metal gears, she’s become a bit OTT (any option part you can think of for this chassis, my car has it! Again, OTT). Originally bought as a budget drift car, I’ve grown to loving this chassis. It’s really, really good. Puts a smile on my face every time I run it.
Just to note: better to buy a standard kit and slap Super Drifttech tires on it than forking $100 more for the dedicated “Drift Spec” chassis and body set. The Mustang GT4 kit can be had for $100 and turned into a TT-02D cheaper than just buying the TT-02D.
*FYI, only the kits that were released at the time of the 30th anniversary got the certificate and sticker set. Mine was manufactured in 2020 and didn’t have either commemorative items.
I wish we got a R33 TT-02 standard kit! It’s only in a drift spec which is odd for a car that exceeded in touring car racing.
TT-02D have oil shocks, aluminum heatsink for the motor, sport tunned instead of torque tunned motor, super drift tech tires (as you said) and most times the wheels are chrome plated which is a bit more expensive. In my area TT-02D runs about 50 to 80 dollars more depending on the kits. I just got this Mustang and no letter, no stickers, I feel like the part number should've been different, for example the limited version with the decal ans stickers should be a 47xxx number and then do 58xxx without the anniversary things. How is the customer supposed to know if the box still says 30th Anniversary?
I didnt know this model was so special. I grabbed one for under $120 as my first on road build since i LOVE the full size mustangs so much. I didnt go box art at all and made mine a classic blue gt350 with a white offset stripe. 3500kv brushless setup and a few choice hop-ups from yeahracing and this thing is just as belligerent and fun as my 01 saleen was.
I built my Tamiya TT-02 Acura NSX and love it. Its Excellent rc
Think for my TT-02 ill add the Tamiya CVA shock dampers. I already installed full ball bearings from Avid Rc.
Nice review and rc car! Hey do you know if that tamiya esc can handle 3s lipo? Thanks for any good info.
Pretty dang sweet
Just to add. The included esc (TBLE-02S) does not have lipo cut off. It has ni-mh cutoff and it's too low for lipo. A cheap lipo alarm will be great in the long run.
This looks awesome!!
It is! 😎
Intriguing machine :)
Nice kit
Top video.. I just bought this car and want to get oil shocks before it arrives, what size shocks in mm are needed? Cheers Jas
i hope to pick one up tomorrow they are finally in the uk! however my friend picked his up today and it looks the uk versions don't get the aniversary decals in the kit .bit disapointing!
Hi. Looking to get into a short course truck and was wondering if you could do a comparison between the 2wd slash and the HPI jump shot. Please let me know if you do that. Thanks!
thats stunning I think it would be way beyond my building skills :(
That paint combo looks awesome. Looks like tamiya has several different gun metal and black colors. Can you tell me what exact paint colors you used? Thanks
This one is beatyfull, just orderd one, but have to wait for 9 weeks.😨
Great video old or not!! might be a crazy question but would this body fit a Traxxas 2wd Slash with LCG chassis, Trying to make it more a touring car? Thank you
Very Kool
I do wish Traxxas offered a build kit for the 4tec 2.0 and included hop up parts
What if you bought a 2nd one of those, converted to metal drive-train and suspension, and tuned it up to a drag car with that "street legal" look and some drag slicks.
Like if you want to see that.
That would be sick.....and add a parashoot
Im building a TT-02S chassis kit soon. Will get a 13.5T 3650 motor. Upgraded suspension and drivetrain. And the metal differential out of the DF-02. Gonna be a cup racing build but prob fast enough with a 64T gear in it.
@@HRM.H what type of suspencion you use for this chassis. thank you
@@spyridonchristofilis7954 i use the TT-02 Type S shocks. They are oil filled and you can get 4 different kind of springs for them depending on the application. I use the golden springs for rally and the red springs for track.
@@spyridonchristofilis7954 just waiting till these break and then installing some TRF big bore shocks.
Little late to the party but I was just given a TT-02 from one of my buddies and it has the same ESC but I was told they cant run Lipo since they do not have a proper LVC..
You should review the tt02b, the buggy version!
i hope you can help me with my issue so i just got the tt02 build finish it everything is installed from the box used a traxxas remote but for some reason when i pull the trigger it goes reverse and reverse goes forward tried to reset remote but no luck or is the tamiya esc build like that or should i just get a different where i can reverse it can you give me some pointer pls
hello sir. how much power brushless motor can the esc handle? thanks for your info.
Really need this kit but apparently still not available in Malaysia 🇲🇾 yet...
What would be a good platform to get into usgt on road racing?
How did you get this so early, they don’t even come to the UK until July lol :( looks ace mate, can’t wait to get one.
In Germany, it's available now
Hello. I do drive a tt02 and I love it but the dog bone is falling out always. I use this car for racing and when that's falling out that's the end of the race. I hope you could help me to fix this...
I think your cool You are a good driver 😁😎😎😎🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
What are your thoughts on rj speed drag cars Rc driver?
Been building tamiya since 1985 to present lol😂
What is the difference between the TT02 & the TT02D is it only the tires ? Some of the body's look great for road racing and i don't want to drift. Thanks.
What happend whit the trx kit build, you dident got a body on it and so on?
I wish they would have more shells than the mustang. I love the mustang, but I'd like to see Nissan GTR's, Dodge Viper's, Challengers. There's so many nice cars :D
Well you know they DO have the Nissan GT-R (R32, R33, R34 and R35)
WHAT?! This is amazing news!!@@aviano72
You can buy a viper or challenger body for it... That's not a big problem
@@axelvc3753 No. There is no challenger body avaible
Great vid. And nice build man. That thing looks great! Mine shows up tomorrow, but it will have a lot of ridiculous upgrades.
About the Tamiya website - are you sure you went to Tamiya's website? =)
A friend and I were just talking about how bad it is. It lags, and finding anything there require sheer luck.
Hehe yeah, tamiyas websites have always been bad
What kind off decals are it?
I was going to get the Nissan but you talked me into the mustang. Lol
I have a Tarmac 1:64, a Tamiya 1:24(?) model kit, and now I’m thinking of getting the 1/10 R/C version. Only one thing: is t the car supposed to be German Gray like the smaller scale model kit?
Is this a good kit for a beginner?
Do other Tamiya RC models also commenmorate the 30th anniversary? If so, which ones?
Can you run them In stock on road classes?
Is there a light kit for this?
Very cool kit. I do have to say though, the esc does not have lipo cut off. It will kill your lipo.
What do you mean by that
The tt02 NSX is definitely on my list
real fresco I painted mine Metallic red just like the real One Acura Has.
I've got one and it looks absolutely amazing!
When is this kit supposed to be available for purchase?
Hey, great video. Where in the USA are you, looks like a very nice place to live! Im in Australia! "God's Counrty" cheer mate!
He is in the U. K
Does anyone know if this can handle water?, such as puddles on a sidewalk
😬I’m afraid I may need to get one of these in the future! This thing look wicked! I have the Vaterra v100 Ford Mustang drift car. I love that thing! Great video! 👊👍
A lot of clubs have novice production classes using the taymia platform
Can you add lights to this mustang?
How long does the battery last
That is mere abd not handling bump weak on road.
Funny to hear that it took you short time to complete the chasis.
Try XV-01.
My record is 12 hours.
Does Tamiya still offer kits that comes with everything you need to run the car? Controller, remote, and batteries all included? 🤔
Can you buy this body separately
Hello Sir! Great video. Esc Included? Speed max please?
Thanks! ESC is included. I have not speed tested it yet.
man u good
Hi I need your help, I am an Italian I state, I need the components for this model, that is, radio control with receiver, servo control for steering, battery and charger !! that they work 100%, can you help me? thanks
What is the top speed
yo your super cool
What is the tire size
What does the turns mean on a brushed motor, I know it is the amount of turns of copper wire inside the motor, but what does it mean in terms of torque and speed. Does a 12 turn motor have more speed or torque than a 17 or 21 turn brushed motor?
Yes. From what I was told, less windings means less resistance. So a 12T motor would produce more speed a 55T motor, but since the 55T motor has more windings it produces more torque rather than speed. That's why you see a lot of high turn brushed motors being used on crawlers and low turn brushed motors for racing.
@@w4rr10r11 Oh, thanks for the info.
How fast is it
When I buy a radio controlled car does the colour you desire to paint included in the package
No, you will need to purchase the paint separately
People racing the eurotrucks and it has blown up ... I wonder if a TT Sport class would take off at a track if they offered a class using any TT chassis, 190-200mm body, and fun cheap racing .... would give a lot of body options... could even spec a cheap brushless setup for those who don't want brushed, or...? Maybe 21.5 or 25.5 would be fairly close to the stock kit motors...
The biggest problem of this chassis is not having a anti sway bar not even as a hopup. Huge bummer
hey hey...... tt02 is for kis rc......
@@user-xn1vz5bj8n tt01 had antisway bar options...
That is why you need to get creative, and mount your own, so you have an edge over the competition. Besides, you mean to tell me you can't figure out how to mount a universal sway bar onto a simple wishbone chassis? Oh common, I have faith in you... YOU can DO IT!
Max speed?
How fast does it go? I've been looking into a street car and I was wondering what the top speed could be
I was wondering same thing Bc I was gonna buy dis car
@@dtxtexasbasshead about 25mph with the included motor, that the max speed I’ve had it go.
How does this compare to a traxxas 4tec??
Can this car drift
Does it drift and does it come with a controller? What do else do i need to buy to make it work after i build it?
Get ball bearings like he said and you'll need a transmitter and receiver, battery, charger and for drifting different tires!
@@miker3174 can you explain what he meant about the ball bearings? Does he mean improving the wheel bearings?
@@ldforever567 There is 16 spots for ball bearings in the stock tt02 they come with bushings stock. Bearings should be the first upgrade, will shave time off your laps!
I want one but not available in UK yet .modelsport says not until July!!
The body on this car is fantastic. It will be worth the wait. 😀
I just checked modelsport hoping their dates had been changed, but no lol. No idea why we have to wait 5 months, it’s not that special. Can’t wait to get my hands on one though.
Seems like it doesn't have a very tight turning radius. Looking for something fun to build for on road but I think I'll stick with my Brushless Mini T after watching this in action
Tbh the tt02 sucks when it comes to turning. But they're still wildly fun if you've got a big open parking lot. Throw the brushed motor in the trash and go brushless and you'll need enough parking lot for the speed that the turning circle won't bother you at all. Hell mine stays sideways more than it stays straight anyways.
Can it drift?good video to man awesome😃
Few tweaks and drift tires... sure! 😎
RCDriver_Online ok cool dude👍😃
can this car drift?
Is it available in New Zealand 🇳🇿 are you in New Zealand 🇳🇿 Zealand
