- Ever wonder how you can BUILD and OWN your favorite sports cars for cheap? In this episode of 10th Scale Garage, we build two Mercedes DREAM CARS for almost no money at all, and put them head to head to see which one is best. The Mercedes 190E is built with the Tamiya TT-01 kit and the CLK AMG is built with the Tamiya TT-02 kit. We show you how you can build these cars and take them racing on the cheap. We'll compare them in a head to head battle and crown a winner. We'll take a look at some upgrades and show them off next to a ready to run alternative. Which is your favorite?

After I got the (no more kids) surgery I was down for a few days on light duty. Got a TT-02 Subaru WRX and a bunch of hop ups ready to go. Best 3 days of soreness I ever had.
Hahaha. Glad you’re feeling better!
happy birthday !!1 i mean, a happy birthday for my 10 y old son, who got a wrx tt02, a is first real rc kit. what a blast to build it with him !!! start them young !
Love Tamiya❤️
We currently have 34 tto1 semis in our neighborhood race series. Awesome value and kids/parents have a blast building.
Greetings from SoCal 😎
I’d love to build a semi.
Building it is part of the hobby enjoyment for me. Great videos. Thanks.
It sure is
Still haven’t ran my tto2 yet I’m hoping the weather stays dry for a while I’ve also a plan to make it 4s 🇬🇧😁
Nice! The first TT-02 I built is good for 3S and it freakin rips!
Whoa. That part with the batteries where u played it backwards tripped me out. I had rewind it n look @ it again lol
Haha. Yeah, I realized in editing that I shot the batteries in reverse order…. Oops!
I got the Buick kyosho and I love it I recently got the Losi v100 Camaro it can’t run 3s but wow it’s Smoooooth and very recently got the HNR “hell cat” and it’s a killer drifter on the drift wheels on 2 and 3s but needs major chassis trim work to run anything besides foams to speed run it. It’s just hard to hide new 1/10th scale rc’s from the wife. The Losi Chevelle dragster is a looker but flips easy. One thing about having a nice body on an RC is it hurts your heart when you wreck it 😢
Nice comparison. Do you know where I could get kyosho Mercedes body?
Hi there! Other than the battery tray on the TT01, the biggest issue is the weak and floppy drive shaft. An absolute must upgrade!
Yeah. If we get any aluminum upgrades, it’s shafts and axels.
Awesome video guys! I was wondering how you guys made that cinematic burnout shot? Did you guys attach a fishing line to the car?
Nope. Just bad the wheels turned and wedged against the body, ha ha.
@@10thScaleGarage that was awesome man! 😎
I can’t speak for a tt01 but the tt02 is a great car. I’ve got the ford gt and with a Holmes puller pro motor and a high gear ratio and a bit of shimming of the steering and such I got 56mph on a small 3s battery
Nice!!!! That’s a great looking model.
Bought a TT01 first and added some basic upgrades, car runs strong and quick. A month later I bought a TT02 and as I started building it, I noticed how loose the center shaft moved. Checked to see that the bearings had too much play inside the plastic molding. Compared to the TT01, there is no play for the center shaft to be loose or wobbly. I also purchased an upgrade TT01 carbon chassis kit which is better than the original TT01 and the loosely made TT02 I returned for my refund!
A bearing kit is the best thing you can do to a Tamiya.
Second would be installing a brushless motor and esc.
Agree
I went full Monty in my last tt02 build. All the metal things! Upgraded brushless motor and 4s. It tears through tires. But it's currently sitting on the shelf because it went sideways into a curb and broke the passenger side turn buckles... whoops. And it'll stay that way as a reminder to keep tt02s mostly plastic!
Haha. Yeah. About the most we do is driveshafts and axels.
It might be time , im a self certified broken Parts Changer & lifelong Gearhead with a couple xl5 systems , tx & rec. somewheres in a drawer around here .
Boom. Just need some lexan paint
9:00 Oh no! Very cool video though.. and yeah I'm loving the FZ02-R. The 2002 Impreza is definitely a unicorn for me. My TT02 (first 1/10 scale car) I got almost to 75mph so not bad for a Tamiya. Wasn't easy though.
Holy crap! That’s flying!
@10thScaleGarage Thanks man.. it's slow to me considering the record is 122mph I think 🤔 but yeah, 70+ is pucker factor territory 😁👍
My head says Kyosho but my heart says Tamiya.
I disagree, the tt01 has a good aftermarket parts, not as convenient as the tt02 but still incredibly decent! Also by adding some spacers and longer schrews u can fit a lot of dirrefentipo sizes, by making the posts longer and remove with pliers the round edges i the bathtub.
Very true.
How do you make them do a burnout
Camera trickery.
I got a tt 02 and have a question, can putting the diff make it faster in reverse? Been dreading pulling mine apart just to find out it makes no difference
The only thing that makes them faster is gearing and voltage.
Your esc is most likely a limiting factor with the reverse speed. They usually give 50% throttle in reverse. Assuming you did the throttle calibration.
@@10thScaleGarage my issue is I bought the car used, didn’t really drive it and put a brushless system in it. After I got it running it was faster in reverse than forward, the esc had instructions to program it so I could change rotation but never got it to work. Throw the old stuff in and actually drive it to find same story. Dude I bought it from keeps tellin me to flip the diffs in it and I’m very suspect of that doing anything
@@shannoncold I’m not trying to GO faster in reverse, I want it to go forward faster. Person I got the car from trying to tell me to flip the diffs
I've got RCs from a lot of manufacturers but I'd never tried a Tamiya, I got myself a TT-01E MAN truck a little while ago & was pleasantly surprised.!
I'm running it on a mild brushless system & it drives well.!! 👍 👍
I'm just waiting for the little M05 Mini that I scored on Ebay the other day to arrive.!😉 😉
I'm really looking forward to trying a front wheel drive RC, especially since it's nice & dry right now.
Great video as always guys.
Stay safe out there & the very best wishes from Scotland 🏴 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️ 👍 👍
