Can I make a strange request? If you enter, make your first video a run of the car in completely standard format, so slow as hell, but spend that video introducing yourself. I enjoyed “meeting” you guys last year!
100% agree!
That's a nice idea, Nick. One of the best parts of this series is meeting all the great contestants that participate. I'll mention this in the upcoming videos. 👍🏻
Great idea Nick! 🙌🏻
Finding many new channels was my favorite part as well.
Oh nooooo... I have to buy a new car! I don't have an MF01X chassis yet, what a bummer I am forced to buy a new car to add to the collection LOL!!! I love the idea of the 3 categories to allow a bit more of a level playing field and to allow the super speed junkies the ability to run pretty much what they want within the few limitation. It should be fun Fil and I look forward to it! Now off to Amain to see what I can find in stock!
@AddamsPlayground I have the beetle and tbh it's a chassis I really enjoyed building
@@dannyseville2543 it has been on the list of things to get for a while now, just have not hit the buy button yet. Guess now is the time!
Oh nooooo, more RC's for your collection?!?! 🤣🤣🤣
I'm surprised you don't have one, Addam. But hey, what a great excuse to grab one now, right? 😉
Awesome having you back in the SRC! Looking forward to your times! 💨💨💨
😂😂
@@poorboysrc ordered and on its way!
now i gotta buy 3 for the whole family to compete
A family build weekend is coming up! 🔧
Usually the MF01X is our go to tour guide, tootling around a town or city, I guess we could ask the tourists to buckle up for a whistle stop tour
🤔
Buckle up, helmets on, it's GO time!!! 🤣💨💨💨
The intro 😂. Ok, it's time to wake the MF01X up. Good luck, people 🤞👍🤝
Haha, glad you got a laugh! Now it's speed run time!!! 💨💨💨💨😁
Hi Fil, just ordered my MF01X today, should be here soon. Will enjoy building it and painting it some fun colours, just for fun with a moderate brushless system. May the best car or driver win, maybe both. 😊😊😊
Awesome! I'm sure you'll have a blast, Allan! We'll see you out there! 👌
i feel the pain about the hair but in the upside its low maintenance mate 😂 good stuff 👍
Hahahaha, no bad hair days! 🤣👊🏼
@@poorboysrc no hair days mate 😂👍 great intro edit to 😊👍
Nice, iv got one already so thats handy, all i remember last time i run it, it was so slow 😂 run it on 2s with a tamiya sports tuned motor... will be going with a brushless 3s setup 👍🏻
Don't forget gearing options. That'll help get you moving! 💨💨💨
This is awesome! That intro was perfect bud 👌 really looking forward to seeing what people get up to, especially the brushed crowd, I can see some old speed tricks coming out that i have never seen before.
The intro was so ridiculous! I was laughing while filming it. 😂😂😂
I hear ya pal, I'm hoping to see some old skool racer tricks come into play! 💨💨💨
Nice! Thanks for taking your time and hosting another event! It will be fun.
Thanks, Joe. I hope we'll see you out there! 👌
@@poorboysrc I know you said rally.but can the g wagon be used. I think it came stock with 30mm tires
Yeah, man, I'm in! 🤪
Woo hooo!!! Mads is in! It wouldn't be the same without ya, pal! 🍻💨💨💨🤦
I wish I knew this last week, I just brought a suitcase full of stuff here in Japan 😢 good luck to all that enter 🍻
There's still lots of time to get your hands on one, pal. We'd love to see you in the SRC this year! 👍🏻💨💨💨
@poorboysrc I would love to also, but the sister and husband will visit Malaysia in the middle of August. Then we will travel around Malaysia and Thailand. Let's see, I would love to join, though I'm not sure atm.
omfg the pillow at 0:21
ITS NOT A CRACK HOUSE
ITS A CRACK HOME
ahahahahah i need that
Isn't that great?!?! My sister got us that as a wedding gift a few years ago! 😆
Thanks for giving those of us that don't have an MX-01x time to get one.
Glad it worked out for you, pal. I'm learning as I go with these speed run challenges, trying my hardest to make it accessible to as many folks as possible. 🍻
Very very cool!!!! Love all the classes and rules…you’ve really thought this out! Awesome.
Thanks, pal! Does this mean you'll be joining in the insanity this year?
@@poorboysrc Man I hope so! I just bought an MFO1X for the channel about a month ago as it was a ridiculously good deal! It's been on the to do list so I just hope I can get it built in time!!!
Is it time?😂 same here loosing hair as well😅 let me see if I can get this chassis. Thanks for giving us lots of time to look for one👍
Is it time??? Haha! RC Mart has lots of inventory on both the chassis and upgrades. And good prices, too! 👊🏼
😂😂... well i wont be using project959 but this means I will actually finish my other MF01X .... finally 😂😂😂😂
I know the pain. I just picked up the 959.
@@Paul__FC yeah, mine is sat in the work van waiting for me to get home. A cold beer and opening it up...
Then start looking at hop ups for the speed run 🤣
Project 959??? Ooooh, so nice!!! Don't go speed running that one! 😳
@@poorboysrc most definitely not Fil. I am unboxing tonight, sniffing the contents then putting it away for a rainy day,..... although that could be today looking at the weather 🤣🤣
Unbox it tonight with a video then a vid about this speed run prep later this week
Wahey!!!!
Great intro Fil!!
Being crazy guys that are already bannanas🍌 the 'open ' class is sounding very intriguing buddy?
Other than the chassis and the body are there really no rules in this category?
Are we allowed to use rockets?
Does it matter if the car achieves it speed through the air rather than on the ground?
Does it matter if the car doesnt survive the 'run' as long as the speed meter does?
Is Mr Hanky allowed to drive even though he has just recently had his licence revoked? 🤔 💩
Mate,I'm warning you now there is some seriously crazy ideas getting thrown about at the Green Hawks secret Base!!😜
But, for starters it looks like we have to buy/build yet another new kit.....you Sir are a bad influence!! 🤣
This is guna get interesting!
Good luck to all involved.
👍 👍 👍
I love it when the bananas crew puts their heads together and gets super bananas! 🍌 🍌 🍌
As you said, pretty much no rules in the open class. I suppose the car must stay on the ground and the GPS meter must stay with the car. But hey, strap a rocket to it, get Mr. Hankey a couple cocktails and put him behind the wheel, it's all good! 😂
Hope to see you crazy lads, your bananas, and Mr. Hankey kickin' some butt out there! 💨💨💨
@@poorboysrc
Cool mate......hope to be able to join in all being well!
We need to start looking for a cheap second hand chassis to 'sacrifice' to the RC speed gods I think,as Taylors starting to throw about some insane ideas!!!
😂🤣😅👍
Man, you make funny videos! I have an unbuilt Beetle here, so I guess I must join this year. Great choice of chassis.
Hahaha, good to hear, pal! The world needs more laughs! 😄
Hope to see you speed running your Beetle! Good luck out there! 💨💨💨
Guess what’s jumping up the build queue!! Consider me in and great video Fil 🙌🏻👍🏻
Hahaha woo hoo!!! The OAG is in!!! 💨💨😂😂
100+ mph Datsun? WooHooo.. That will be fun to watch!
And you know someone's gonna pull it off, too! 😳💨💨💨💨
@@poorboysrcyou could make a replica of the Rotsun from Roadkill Garage
@@poorboysrc 🛻🛻🛻🛻🛻 LMAO
We, me and my wife, are looking forward to the Speedrun Challenge 2024.
It's the first challenge we've taken part in.
We found out about it through our friends RC Birds, MS Fun Racer and Gottfried RC.
Andrea and I will each build our own vehicle.
As this is our first Challenge, our motto is as follows.
Have fun and gain experience.
With this in mind, we wish everyone good luck and lots of fun.
Excellent! Glad to have you on board. I take it you'll be representing Germany. Willkommen! 😁
Always a great intro, Fil!! 👍👍
I have 2 MF-01X chassi!!! And 3 bodies..... still uncut and unpainted. 😮😞
So..... no 6S?? 😂😅
What I still don't have, and can't afford, is a GPS speedometer..... 😭😭😭😭 I may be the ONLY one.
But if all possible, I'm IN! I've missed everyone's challenges in the past 3 years. I'm excited about this.
Hi Carmine. I sent you an email with a link to an inexpensive GPS/Speed reader. Hopefully it fits the budget and you can compete this year. 👍🏻
@poorboysrc Thanks Fil, I'll take a peek. Party on Dude!
(I never get tired of Bill & Ted references)
@@poorboysrc One of the RARE occasions when it's good to be an American.....
$23.99 here! Believe it or not, I don't have it. But I'm going to try to sell something....
I'm not one to give up easily! My last speed challenge I used a M-05, 5500kv brushless, and 4S! It was verified at 59mph! My wife's dad is a Sheriff, it was filmed by me driving, and dad-in-law shot it with his radar gun!!
Dude!! Almost 60mph in an M-05.... was TERRIFYING!!! I'm hoping that all-wheel-drive, even in a tiny RC, won't be as nerve-racking....🙏
Don't have my father-in-law to verify this time.
I'll get a GPS! How much time do I have again? I don't want to end up bogus. I need FUN! 🎸 🎸 🎸
Sounds like a tonne of fun!
You should join in! 💨💨💨
My mf-01x is sitting with a giant 1:8 brushless in it from years back. It's wildly unstable lol
Haha, I believe it! It's a pretty small chassis for big power. But I'm sure there's a bunch of guys out there dying to make it work! 🤣👍🏻💨💨💨
Cool how you added humour to this video Fil! That intro! But too right, this contest needs to be FUN with a capital "F"!!! I hope all who join in this year keep that in mind. You did a great job of setting out "ze rulez". No cuts is essential, I've seen "other" contests where guys are definitely cutting from one shot to another - not good!!!
As for the 65mm wheel limit, this is the outside diameter of the tyre, right? I just checked my TT02 rally block tyres and they are slightly bigger than 65mm, does that mean they are out?
Cool you made it 3 categories, this is gonna be exciting! I'm chuffed I already have this chassis, you know I'm in the brushed brigade. You also know I'm on board supporting you all the way brother! Lots going on here slowing me down sorry for the late comment, I'll PM you later. Cheers mate. 👌👍
Heya, Mark! I finally got a new phone and I'm just catching up on comments now!
You said it, dude. Fun, fun, fun!!! That's what it's all aboot! Haha!
What's the O/D of your rally blocks? Maybe 67mm? Let me know!
I sent you a PM yesterday, we should catch up, I need some more Mark Bryan in my life. 😁👊🏼
@@poorboysrc Thanks brother! Glad you are back in the game! Rally blocks are 67 or 68mm, I used them on the SRC last year. Definitely need to catch up, I need some Fil encouragement to get me out of the doldrums! 😅👍
Good luck Mark 👍
Cool guy looks like you put a lot of thought into this years contest.
Thanks, pal. The goal was to make the classes as even as possible. Hopefully these new rules Amp up the fun! 👌
@@poorboysrc I love the rules it addresses a lot issues from last year well done Sir. I'm not sure I will be in this one as I don't have that kit but you never know I guess.
Fil… Fil!… your gonna need a BIGGER white board this year!…😂🤜🤛
Oh man, I know! I might have to use the side of my house! 🤣
@@poorboysrc 😂😂🤜🤛
That is cool. Loved seeing all the different runs and people from all over. Definitely a smart move to release the people taking the contest to seriously. As you said this is for fun! Thanks so much for doing this!
Yeah man, it's a fun co test, nothing more, nothing less. Those taking things too far and getting nasty can go elsewhere. Hope to see you out there! 💨💨💨
Great. Let's the fun begin.
I don't have this car, but I go into immediately research what I'll can do.
Good stuff, Dirk. I hope you can grab one soon and start tinkering with it. 👍🏻
@@poorboysrc I'm going with class 1, 2S, medium chassis, low setup. Some upgrades and an extra Tamiya body. Mail'll comes as soon the first run's done. Not mentioning the other videos I'll do😉
Very cool choice of chassis!! This should be an amazing contest!!
Thanks, dude! Does this mean you're in? 😉
@@poorboysrc I'll see, I'll be in the process of moving provinces.... But maybe!
Nice......
You coming back for more this year, Paul?
@@poorboysrc Oh ya lining up sponsors now.... Just need to find my chassis... Wouldn't miss it Bud..
Thank you for the chance to enter Phil!!!
You're very welcome! Hope to see you out there! 👌
GENTLE MEN, START YOUR ENGINES!!!!!!!
🚗 💨💨💨💨💨💨
Its time!!!! That's what my wife is saying right now! I am late for work again! Catch up later Fil 😉👍
Hahaha, get to work, James! That way you can buy more RC cars! 😁
@@poorboysrc l didn't get fired yet😉
This looks like it's gonna be fun, hope u guys are ready for herbie the love bug 🤘
Oh yeah! Bring on Herbie!!! 💨💨💨
That sounds like an interesting event!
It's a ton of fun! This is year #3. 😁
Yeah, i'm in. This will be a lot of fun again.
Awesome! I'm so glad you'll be racing with us again!
Funny intro 🤣👍
This will be fun to watch. I think this was how i found u last year, you were under 5k at that time.
Haha, yeah I had to have some fun with this video. Glad you've stuck around, we're approaching 30k now! 😳
Nice!! I have one on the shelf that I was saving to build. The time is now. We are in!!!
Excellent! Perfect timing! 👍🏻
Subscribed, and it looks like i have another tamiya kit to buy!
Haha, excellent! Welcome to the Mad house! 😂🍻💨💨💨💨
It's a rally chassis! We should have to do it on dirt! 😂 That would be wild
Oh man, the carnage would be through the roof! Do you work for Tamiya? Are you just trying to boost parts sales? 😅
Hiya Fil. Ooh exciting stuff with a new contest coming up. I do already have a couple of these cars so I'm all set but might need to invest in a speedy motor 🤔 I'm probably in the middle category I think. Great intro mate and looking forward to it 😁
Awesome to hear, Pete! It wouldn't be the same without you. Looking forward to your big air again! 🤣👊🏼
Hopefully if I can get my act together I'll make an entry into the brushed category. Have the chassis, definitely not using my AlItalia livery Fiat body though 😂. An idea for including in a future video, a lot of newer people wont have a GPS unit, me included. Might be worth throwing out a few inexpensive options for ideas.
Brilliant idea! I will add that in my follow up to Ze Rulez video! ✅️
A fortuitous choice of chassis for me as I already have one. 😀
I painted the escort shell yellow because when I met my future wife many years ago she had an S registration mk2 escort. She was really chuffed that I built it to look like her car.
It's running big stock outta the box atm, and I've been looking for an excuse to pep it up a bit.
Cheers from bonny Scotland 🏴
It's a sign to start modifying! Haha! Welcome to the 2024 SRC! 👍🏻
@@poorboysrc
I'll maybe not be posting any official times because those speed recorders are a bit pricey here in the UK. But I'll definitely be tuning up my car. 👍
We are in ! This one looks fun !
Excellent!!! 🎸 🎸 🎸
Great Fil . That’s what we waiting for 🤩 It’s Time 😂
Haha, it sure is! Can't wait to see your speed runs! 💨💨💨
@@poorboysrc I will do my very best 👍 Now it’s time to work up a big to do list 😂
Hmmm need to get me a mf01x 😂 fill a need your'e help telling the wife 😂😂
Hahaha, my wife can take her put to dinner to help explain. I've got her on payroll, so she'll make sure there's no more RC limitations in your house. 🤣🤣🤣👊🏼
@@poorboysrc i will tell her mate😅😂💪🏻💪🏻
First
My man! 👊🏼
@poorboysrc I went to work late so this time I had a good wifi connection.
Nice I have the MF-01X Rally beetle time to get speedy
Awesome! Glad you can make it! 👍🏻
Awesome chassi for speed run challenge 😂 Not sure I'm participating yet, but I will definitely follow the competition. You are doing a great job with these challenges Fil 👏
Hope to see you out there speed runnin' like a mad man! 😂💨💨💨🍻
Cool! I might throw something together and see what it can do 👍
Excellent! We'd love to have ya! 👍🏻
Have fun everyone we’re out this year
😭😭😭
Excellent!
Yes sir! Are you in?
@@poorboysrc Absolutely. Just ordered a kit. Let the fun begin.
@All_RC_Fun excellent! Glad to know you'll be racing with us again this year. 👍🏻👊🏼
Missed you at Axial Fest. Hope you made it.
Ah, no way! I was definitely there, although I did spend some time hiding from the sun, under our canopy. I'll have some footage for you guys soon!
@@poorboysrc Darn looked for ya. I put the little footage I had up already.
@@EricsRC dang, too bad! I did meet a bunch of viewers, which was awesome. But I guess we'll meet at the next one. Stay Excellent. 🎸 🎸 🎸
Hey Fil, can it be ANY Tamiya body or specific to the MF01X chassis kits?
I want to know this as well.
@@Paul__FC hopefully it is any.... i do have the original escort that'll do for starters as its sat in the box. We shall await Sir Fil and his clarification.
@rivierarc I messages him. I have a few re-production bodies to choose from. Group C bodies were something I was looking at.
It can be ANY Tamiya body. Repro included.
@@poorboysrc oooh.... EXCELLENT 😀😀😀😀
Okay, here we're discussing the rules in our whattsapp group.
You defined the batteries for class 1 very well. Then the overlay text for class 2 says 3s. Then you talk about the rules for 1 & 2 and not a word about the capacity of the ones for class 2.
I apologies, if I had missed something.
But to keep it clear, brushless is max 3S, right?
Sorry for any confusion, Dirk. You're correct, 3S is the max foe the brushless class. 👌
i was hoping for a tamiya tank speed run
Hahaha maybe one day. They're pretty tough on the budget, but maybe one day we'll try them out. 😉
It seems I know what I have to order now 😅👍
Haha, yes sir! Good luck with your speed runs! 💨💨💨
@@poorboysrc It will be such a fun 😁👊
It’s sad people in new Zealand like me get screwed by others but I’m going in it this year and I won’t win but be fun
It's all about having a good time, my friend. If you won, you win. But just by competing, I assure you you'll have a great time and meet cool folks! 😎
Dang so your telling me this poor boy has to buy another rc i don't already have to have fun lol. Well i guess you twisted my arm enough.
@@dirtshart twist, twist, twist those arms. This is the way! 😊
Looking forward to this season! Thanks for hosting the event again.
On the brushless and brushed category. Can you use custom manufactured or modified parts, or only off-the-shelf hop-ups? 3D printing doesn’t really cover the full spectrum of custom parts.
As far as “clean runs” are crashes allowed? What if GPS becomes a projectile?
Thanks!
I was thinking just "off the shelf" parts for brushed/brushless. This way the open class can really stretch their creative legs, while giving the brushed/bl guys some room to breathe.
As for crashes, what's your opinion? Do you think a GPS could read an inaccurate speed if crashing and flying off the car?
@@poorboysrc I say the GPS has to stay with the car because in some cases when it flies out it will go faster than the car.
@@TeamJunkYardDogagreed
This sounds fun. Now where am I going to find the money for this plus my other projects lol
I hear you can sell sperm for $50/cup! That's good RC money right there! ✅️
I'm in. Chassis on the way.
He's back! Open class, I presume? 👊🏼
@@poorboysrc Thank you for hosting again! The kit is still on the way. Open is likely but I'd like to see what this kit is all about. I have a lot of builds going on right now. I'll figure out which parts go on which car when I know what's possible.
My last question ... I hope. I understand in brushed and brushless it is off the shelf parts only. Can those parts be modified as long as no 3d printing is involved. Like making clearance for bigger pinions?
Great question! I've been asked this one by a few people. I'll mention this in an upcoming video, but for now it'll go like this:
For class #1 and #2, the only part that can be modified will be the gearbox cover. Notched to accept a bigger pinion.
Other than that, if weight reduction is the goal, parts that can be unscrewed and removed are ok. But no other cutting allowed.
Hope that helps. 👌
@@poorboysrc Glad your back and I decided the best place for me is Open. I won a class last year so I figure why not try to be the fastest this year. We will have 2 cars in this year. Mark is doing his own car in brushed.
Oh well, looks like i need to buy another rc car 😁 just need to decide if i go brushed or brushless 🤔
More RC's = Happy man! 😊
@@poorboysrc i just hope we have some days it aint raining to get out, its ment to be summer, and some places are getting flood alerts 😮
Might of finally found a purpose for my mf01 Suzuki
It wants to go fast, it told me. 😁
I found this video today and am interested in the idea of this challenge I happen to have an (MF-01X) kit that I never finished as I primarily do crawlers so slow is what I know so maybe I'll consider brushed class
Awesome, dude! Come on in and join in the fun! Watch this video and the next one "Ze Rules, Part Deux" to familiarize yourself with all the rules, and jump on in! We'd love to have ya! 🤗
@@poorboysrc Thank you so much i just got back from my storage unit and retrieved my Suzuki Jimny XF-01X kit that I started back in 2015, I'm knocking off the dust and going to the races with it! I'm going to run a brushed setup and plan to keep it sane, fingers crossed haha, again thank you for hosting this fun and exciting project that we can all get involved in, with the intent of having fun with Tamiya RC cars that most of us did as a kid. Now it's off to the races!
So for hop up parts is it limited to just stock tamiya parts and tamiya hop ups? Or any available part that you can buy in the market? Servo saver broke and going to throw the stampede servo saver have in it instead.
You can use non-Tamiya parts. 👍🏻
OK then, I'm interested! 😂😂 For the open class, can the body be anything as long as it is a tamiya shell, even if for a completely different chassis?
Sweet! I'm excited to have you in the SRC! 😄
In the open class, yes, you can use any Tamiya body you wish. Even if it's for a completely different chassis. 👊🏼
@poorboysrc cool. I dont think I'll be a contender for top speed so I want to just have some fun and try make something that is a bit crazy and stand out.
Show more of the chassis, please .
What is it that you would like to see?
@poorboysrc
I have never seen it until that very short clip of yours.
The motor location.
Suspension.
Battery tray.
Other things...
Are option parts available, such as oil filled shocks and adjustable gearing?
Can you show the underside as well.
I might be tempted to enter.
In the 80s I had a Frog.
Currently I have two TT-02s and one TT-01.
Thanks for the response.
Bring it on.. any model based on the Mf-01x right? I’m in!
You got it! 👍🏻
@@poorboysrc thanks man can’t wait… ordering one right now..
Here is a Poor question, Are you allowed to cut the wheel arches in the "Brushless" class to retro fit the wheels of your choice? So a Tamiya shell might not look like what it initially started as? Or must it resemble the original silhouette?
Thanks
Well, the max tire diameter is 65mm, so I can't imagine any 1/12 or even 1/10 body having smaller arches than that?
Shoot me an email at poorboysrc78@gmail.com if we need to discuss further. 👍🏻
Does any tire go in open class? I'm very interested this year last year I caught wind too late and couldn't make a pass.
Any tire you want in the open class.
Yep, any tire. 👍🏻
👍
Come on join in!
Knew i got that speed checker for a reason, i have two questions,
1. Any tamiya body for all classes? So i can throw a small buggy body on or car body only?
2. Do they have to remain 4wd?
Any Tamiya body for all classes. ✅️
Yes, they have to remain 4WD. ✅️
hahah this is wonderful! but that means i have to buy a Tamiya??? lol
Hahaha, I won't tell the Kyosho family you've defected. 😂
Hey Fil, just to clarify about the tyre size. If you have the MF-01X Jimny then it comes with wheels that are about 50mm diameter and the type of rally block tyres that you get with say a TT-02 rally. They are more like 70mm diameter to the edge of the tread so are these not allowed despite being standard equipment on that car? We had been discussing it in a chat group so I said I'd check. Cheers mate 😁
Great question, Pete. Mark Bryan asked the same one in a PM last week, it seems the Tamiya Rally Blocks will be a popular tire choice this year.
I say go ahead and run them, if that's what you're aiming to use. I'll update Ze Rulez in another video soon, and I'll include this change. 👍🏻
@@poorboysrc ah that's good because on the rough tarmac the rally blocks seem to grip the best. Many thanks 😁👍👍
@@PeteWylieRC I hear they're also good for giant grassy rams at the end of a car park! 😉🤣👊🏼
@@poorboysrc 🤣 Oh yeah those too 😂
So if I run the brushless class I can run any tamiya factory body?
Yes sir!
can we add a 3d printed wing or lexan and plastic wing only for brushed and brushless?
That is crucial in deciding body styles.
Wings are OK, as long as they're "off the shelf" and not 3D printed. Not everyone has a 3D printer, so this helps level the playing field for all entrants. 👌
When you say tamiya body, does that mean it has to be one of the kit bodies or any tamiya produced body?
It can be any Tamiya body. Including reproductions from aftermarket suppliers. 👍🏻
Fil answered my email, it's any Tamiya produces body not one that specifically comes with the MF01X chassis.
Can I run a Carten M210?
Nope. Tamiya MF-01x is the chassis this year. 👍🏻
By hop ups, not just Tamiya hop ups? Any brand hop ups?
Correct. Any brand of hop ups that are available on the market are good to go! 👍🏻
Would I be allowed to record the speed on my phone? Or do I have to get a speed thing? Planned on taping the phone inside the body since it worked great last time for speed running my vendetta lol
@@brantleemolloy1571 you can, but just be careful not to wreck your phone. 😉
@@poorboysrc awesome. Going to get into my build ASAP 💸😂 just wanted to make sure it would still be a valid testing option for speed before I destroy my beetle for no reason lol.
I'm considering entering class 1.
Just a few questions.
Tamiya body ‐ any tamiya body or any m range body or must it be a mf01x body?
No 3d printed parts ‐ are old-school mods to body acceptable like vents and plastic glue add-ons ok?
Any tire brand and rim brand ok?
I'm sure more questions will pop up from me.
@Rooivok welcome aboard, we'd love to have you!
- Any Tamiya body is OK.
- No 3D printed parts
- Plastic vents and glued on bits ok
- Any tire and rim ok. Just 65mm diameter max.
Cheers!
@@poorboysrc thanks. Just got a GPS speed skyrc gsm020. Cost more than the mf01x kit itself
Phil I got a question does it have to be the exact mf01x chassis i have an integy 3racing mini chassis which is an equivelant to the actual mf01f chassis the only main difference is mine is belt drive and not shaft drive. I really want to compete in the brushed class only, and like some of the other guys just can’t afford to buy another chassis right now
Hey bro, sorry, but it's only MF01x chassis' allowed. We'd love to have you competing with us pal. See if you can make it happen! 😉
@@poorboysrc yeah ill see what i can do about getting one.
So got another question after doing a bunch of research it seems like the mf01x chassis and the mb01 chassis are exactly the same other than body options and rally tires vs street tires. This is what is so frustrating about tamiya they use the same chassis give it a different number and a different body yet it is the exact same car. Does anyone know is there just a chassis kit available for this car
@rickzfpv3118 I've never seen just a chassis kit available, but I live in Canada where we get slim pickings. Try Googling it, or searching some of the online Chinese and Japanese hobby shops to see what they have. 👍🏻
@@poorboysrc ok i will see what I can find
I thought you might of done all m chassis. But got close.
Very good guess, Brad! 👍🏻
Well I'm out do not have the money for the car. I have have so many Tamiya but not one of these.
Oh no, that's too bad. I was hoping everyone from last year could participate again. 😭
Why MF01X boring!
Get it going 50 mph and tell me it's boring! 🤣👍🏻👊🏼
