Jesus, that’s shifting!... it doesn’t seem to be any slower on accelerating either. In fact, it seems to be screaming for even higher gearing. Excellent video Glen, thanks once again. 👍
That's CRAZY Glenn!!! I've never heard of ANY Tamiya going that fast! 😲 That's quite an incredible Chassa!!! 😎😎👍👍 It seemed like ONE pebble in the road, and it would be DUST. ..... At the same time, it makes me want to try a 4S in me Holiday Buggy!! 😆😄😜 Carmine ✈🚂🚙
PoorManRC Hi buddy, yes you’re right while I was testing it I hit a couple of very small stones and yes it made the car take off 😞 I’m not really into this kind of speed, too fast for me, but it’s nice to do as a one off 😊👊🏻
christopher coconis Thanks Christopher, yeah I was impressed with it, not often you see a Tamiya doing over 50mph lol 😂 Thanks for watching my friend 👊🏻
Goodness me glen that is mental. I know you have done a lot of work on the model but it is still after all based around vintage gear!!!. I’m sure in the future you will manage to get something else to go even faster!!
Darren Grimmer Thanks Darren, Yeah don’t think it would last long doing that every day, but it was really interesting to go through all the different gear ratios and finally get to this speed 🚗💨💨 As always Darren thanks for watching my friend 😊👊🏻
I'd love to see a parts list vid for this Maybe even a vid of the parts needed to take a bath tub df01 and what you need to give it the top force chassis etc...
I just love when you can over power an vintage rc and it runs just as good as a modern car. I put a Traxxas 2.5 engine in my TGX MK1, with a 2 speed and she is lightning fast⚡⚡⚡
Hi Glenn, just letting you know that Tamiya America are having a Halloween sale! You never know you wish list of bits and bobs might be in the sale?. Steve UK.
Hey Glenn I guess you have mounted steel spur etc for the gearbox... I try to find those without success... fo you have an idea where to order those or how to strengthen the gearbox in generell to fit with the power of a brushless ?
😂 joking aside that’s seriously quick for a car that out the box would probably max out at 30mph! Just wish this technology was available back in the 80’s and 90’s! Awesome channel keep up the good work Glen 👍🏻
bruce benner Both great cars Bruce, but I’d always go Top Force, I just love that buggy. I’d also say that the 2wd with the same running gear In would probably be slightly faster 🚗💨💨
Thats odd im running 86t spur on a 30t pinion on the traxxas bandit a china 3100kv motor and it has no problem hitting 70+. Your kv is way to high it sounds like its wraping out early
Tech NO City Hey buddy, You’ll have to explain that to me please 🤓. I’m pretty new to brushless, how does a lower kv motor make it faster? Surely the rpm will be less than my 4370 motor which is at around 30rpm on 2s? Thanks in advance 😊👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends All brushless motors with some exceptions have a max rpm of 50,000. So a lower kv will give you more torq taller gears will make a more noticeable difference. I run 4s thats the max a 3100kv can handle. If I went with any lower kv I have to go with a 5 or 6s battery to equal the same rpm. As soon as I find it Ill send you a link to a chart with a list of motors sizes and there kv rpm ect that will help you understand how it works.
The RC weight plays a big role the sweet spot is 3500kv for 1/10 scale. As traxxas already figured out. There is a china company called BL Motor they usually have a blue can amazing motors for under $20 any size you could imagination. Heres the link it took me a while to find it (note: 1/10 standard can size is 3650) img.banggood.com/file/products/20160105011050SKU308440.pdf
Outback RC Australia Thanks buddy, yes this had the two ball diffs swapped out for gear diffs, also running the alloy prop shaft and cups, but apart from that it was pretty much kit form 👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends Well done getting a Tamiya up to such speeds reliably 👍🏁 It's cool to have a tuff basher but Tamiya are just something really special aren't they, they're in a class of their own.
Mark Hollinshead Yeah that’s we’re all this video series started Mark 😊 I think it started at 19mph on 540 and Nimh 😂 It’s been a great little journey to finally get to this 👊🏻
Holy crap. That’s seriously quick. I don’t think tamiya had that sort of speed in mind when they designed these cars! Nice one Glenn!
George Thimakis
Thanks George, no I completely agree my friend. This was just a one off to do the final top speed gear ratio 😊👊🏻

Fantastic. Those tyres you have on give amazing grip on tarmac surfaces too. I wonder if it would be faster without the wing?

Hey Glenn I guess you have mounted steel spur etc for the gearbox... I try to find those without success... fo you have an idea where to order those or how to strengthen the gearbox in generell to fit with the power of a brushless ?
I have original 90's Manta Ray. I think I go with my slash 4S and put the 3S-System in the Ray. Would that work? Or is the motor to large?
Arcade Collectors Europe
Yeah that might be a little too big 😂👊🏻
