Thank you, was looking for those foam covers forever and as a last resort came to UA-cam. Typical Tamiya 😂 use the foam circles, provides a foam rectangle with barely visible cut lines.
Nice video. Just finished this and a great car to drive with the motor at the front like a real car. My first belt driven car which was fun. Found the quality of the plastics very good. Tricky decals though !!!!
Thanks Ian! Awesome, I figured it would be good to drive, great to hear. I also found the plastics to be better than usual, gotta be happy with that. Oh yeah, not looking forward to the decals! 😬👍
Got that same kit a couple of days ago but mine has a Subaru body. Right now, I'm aplying the decals and detailing it. I'm pretty eager to see how it handles with the motor mounted on the front. Great video, sir, as usual. Keep it up!
Awesome, the Subaru version looks great too! Yeah, I'm also keen to see how they run with the weight over the front. I think it should handle tight turns with ease. Thanks mate, will do! 👍
Awesome, I just got that same receiver and I need to waterproof it too, great timing, I can watch your video soon... That car is really cool, I especially like the tyres, you know, in case it gets caught in a mosh... Had to sneak in that Anthrax joke, obviously...
Great to hear you're obviously happy with the chassis. This is my first XV-10, and it's great to hear others like the chassis. Yeah it's a reasonably old chassis now. I think it will be around for a few more years yet. I figured it would run great, 4wd with the weight in the front, should handle tight turns easily. Thanks mate! 👍
Tamiya keep surprising me with their kits, a lot of effort has been put into the detail of this kit. Front mounted motor 4wd!, looks like it should hook up nicely👌. Another great video mate👍🦘🇦🇺
@@RCHobbyShed Spot on Mick, even down to the small detail of the foam dust covers for the ball joints, such a nice kit!. I'd be so surprised if it doesn't turn on a dime. Thanks for sharing your video mate👍
@@outbackrcaustralia4895 I forgot about the dust covers. Yeah they were one of the first things I noticed, reminded me of Losi's and stuff with those. I reckon you're right mate, should turn real well. No probbs mate! 👍
Fantastic Mick, I'm building a tt02 rally car right now and did Mark Bryants mods . You guys really know how to get these up and running well, this is an exelent car and very good quality. I'm busting to see this beast go, it's a better car than the tto2 so should be a blast. I'm doing a plasma edge 2 next then trying a Tt01 rally car. Tried so hard not to buy anything but you know how it goes ha,ha, plenty of upgrades around for these so should be a good car.
Thanks mate. Ahh, I knew you were building a TT02, didn't know it was a rally car, awesome! Yeah Mark likes his rally cars, as you'd know he has a load of awesome videos on them. I may head over to his channel and get some ideas for this one too 😁. I'm hangin to run this one, should be cool. I'm water proofing it so I can play in the puddles too, and since it won't stop raining here for more than 10 minutes 🤣. The Plazma Edge should be fun, and the TT01 rally! Lol, yeah I hear ya mate , I say "I'm not gonna buy anything after this one, or maybe the next one.". At least you're having fun, that's what it's all about! 👍
@@RCHobbyShed now I want the Xv01, this is an exelent car. But I want the dump truck too, ha, ha, I may have it finished this weekend, dam work. I think I'll have a lot of fun with the rally cars . Got a Ztw combo 4350kv so should be a beast. Haven't tried the Tt02 r chassis I built yet . The transam body looks good , scared to scratch it . The Tt01 I'll do with a tourqe tuned motor, don't have a brushed Tamiya and should be ok for a rally car. Have a good weekend mate.
Nicely done, Mick! It really took me back to when I built mine a couple of years ago, such a great kit to put together, you can feel the quality! This is an excellent chassis, you will love driving it for sure. Take care mate, all the best from Mark... :o) PS I hope this comment makes it through!
Thanks Mark! I watched a couple of your Lancia videos, awesome stuff mate. Oh yeah, I agree, the quality of this one is at a higher level. I'm really quite impressed with it. Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video. Oh damn, no I can't see this comment. Please try again later. 😂🤣, nah it's all good mate. 😁👍
I built this car over year ago. It is a very fun build. I got the body that 'Killerbody" makes for this. It is already pre-painted and has light buckets if you would like to install LEDs in the car. The Tamiya body is not painted and does not have light buckets. I also got metal hinge parts for the A-arms. This is a high stress area and is easy to install. I did not like the plastic pulleys for the belt drive. I got metal ones instead. I even got titanium screws for this car. The only reason I got those screws is because they were so cheap. They cost about $30.00. I did get the slipper clutch for this car, but had nothing but problems with it. Thoughts ?
Nice, those Killerbody's look great. Pretty handy that they're painted and already have decals. The light buckets are also cool, but I'm probably no gonna run lights. I actually won't do much to mine unless something wears out or breaks. Sounds like yours is nicely set up. 👍
@@RCHobbyShed Thanks for saying mine is nicely set-up. It is very difficult to paint and apply the decals to the Tamiya body. The Killerbody"s is a much easier way to go. The mounting of the body is not that easy because the body is already painted. You can buy lots of after market parts for this car which is great. I guess it depends on what you would like to do with your car. I really wanted the Tamiya Cockpit for this car but could not find one anywhere. This is another really cool thing that you could do with this car. Thoughts?
@@alfredyost7972 No probs Alfred! Oh yeah the Killerbody would make it a lot easier, their bodies look awesome too. Yeah there is a lot of upgrade parts out there for this chassis, gotta be happy with that! I have a cockpit set coming for this one, but I think I'll have to fit it later as it may take a couple more weeks to arrive. I got mine from Tony's Tamiya Parts but I just checked and they're out of stock now. You could message then and ask when they'll have stock. The cockpit is an awesome addition! 👍
@@RCHobbyShed I have ordered stuff from Tony's Tamiya Parts before. I have been very happy with them. I live in the USA and I think they are in the UK. It does take longer for my order to arrive. That is to be expected. I pretty much gave up looking for a cockpit just because I could not find one. If you got one, then I will start looking for one again. Thoughts?
I have this and you have to be carefull which esc you pick,not much room in the sealed compartment,if i recall even the motor caused issues regards wiring attachment points
I've still not run this yet but from what I've seen they do quite well in stock form. There are some out there that have used longer shocks for a little more travel though. 👍
Thank you, was looking for those foam covers forever and as a last resort came to UA-cam. Typical Tamiya 😂 use the foam circles, provides a foam rectangle with barely visible cut lines.
Haha. If I remember rightly, I was looking for those for a while myself. 😂
Nice build , can't wait to see next part !
Thanks Javier. Hoping to have the video out in the next couple of days. 👍
Another good one Mick 👍
Thanks Michael. 🙂👍
Nice build, thats a great rally chassis.
Thanks mate. I think so too, should be great fun! 👍
I love tuning in to see which thrash t-shirt you’ll have on. Nice build, too.
Haha thanks mate! Cheers! 😁👍
Great episode dude looking forward to the next one 👌
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it! 👍
@@RCHobbyShed all your content is quality thanks for the reply’s too 👌🤩
Lovely choice. Kudos!
Thanks mate! 👍
Solid video as always ! Thanks man !!
Thanks! No probs mate! 👍
i just recently finished building this. i did subaru wrt sti version of this. the body was something else.
That’s awesome, great video
Thanks mate! 🙂👍

Thanks mate. Hoping the coating stuff arrive today or tomorrow.
It is cool! I'm quite impressed with the quality, it had me in a state of euphoria.😁👍
My favorite 1/10 scale RC rally chassis!
The XV-01 chassis was first release in 2011.
It runs just like real front engine 4 wheels drive rally car!
Great to hear you're obviously happy with the chassis. This is my first XV-10, and it's great to hear others like the chassis.
Yeah it's a reasonably old chassis now. I think it will be around for a few more years yet.
I figured it would run great, 4wd with the weight in the front, should handle tight turns easily.

Yeah it's different. I think it should turn like it's on rails, we'll see!
Thanks Andrew! 👍
@@RCHobbyShed yes will definately be looking out for that Video Mick cheers mate
Nice one, would love to build xv01. Thanks
Thanks! I say go for it if you can, they're great fun to build. 👍
@@RCHobbyShed can't wait for part 2, Shell. As those Lancia decals are difficult, please share the technique. Thanks

I have this and you have to be carefull which esc you pick,not much room in the sealed compartment,if i recall even the motor caused issues regards wiring attachment points
Is it just me? or does this need WAY more suspension travel to do well as a rally car?
I've still not run this yet but from what I've seen they do quite well in stock form. There are some out there that have used longer shocks for a little more travel though. 👍
What would you recommend for radio transmitter, servo, esc, receiver, battery and charger?
I need help with how tf do I connect my batteey to my esc and give the car power it’s just 2 cbles
