Thanks! Go for it, mate it will be awesome! 👍

Haha, you know you can't resist! 😂 I wasn't going to get one either, then I did it, funny how that happens. Thanks mate! 👍

Thanks! The EVO is a great build, enjoy! 🙂👍

@@RCHobbyShed thanks! I have both an EVO car and EVO drone now lol

Thanks Ian! Oh nice, I'm always looking for more places to find my goodies. Sounds good mate, I'll check them out! 👍

Thanks mate! Hope you get one mate, they're a great buggy. 👍

Thanks Marcus! 👍

Thanks Richard! Oh yeah, those plastic hexes aren't great at all. I was going to change mine during the build but only had blue ones left, will have to grab some more silver ones. 👍

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. Yeah they are a great looking buggy! 👍

Thanks. Yeah, I do it a bunch of different ways usually depending on the car. I think as long as it's neat, it's all good. Coiling can look cool on some builds, I remember a lot of people were doing that in the 80's. Oh cool, it will be a happy new year for you! 😁👍

Thanks Jefferson! Someone else has asked about that too. I'll try get a video out soon on that subject. 👍

Thanks! Thank you very much for the support. I've subbed to your channel too! 👍

Thanks mate! If my TD4 ever arrives we may find out which one comes out on top. 😁👍

@@RCHobbyShed Haha didn't know you had one coming! Looks like one day we will find out then😉👍

Thanks mate! Haha, good thing I don't show much of the shed in videos. Which reminds me, there's been no progress on the shed since the last update 7 months ago 😬. The carbon does look great. I thought of sanding it smoother and hitting it with 2k clear but maybe I'll save that for the next TF build. No probs at all mate, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Hoping to get the other TF done very soon! 👍

@@RCHobbyShed Good things take time mate, it'll be a ripper of a shed when it's done too👍. I don't think she realised that your hobby room isn't actually the shed, I'll have to let her know that's actually the hobby room😁. Imagine the look of the carbon fibre with 2k on it!, I'm not a fan of carbon fibre on cars and bikes but it looks awesome on an rc.

Haha I know how it is, I miss heaps too. They are a great looking buggy, I agree, I think box art looks great on the EVOs. Cheers mate! 👍

Thanks Chris! Enjoy the build mate, and that combo will be great in the EVO! 👍

Hi dear RC addict, did you give it lipo 2S or Nimh? 🙂

That's right, Eric! They are a great car. Thanks mate! 👍

G'day Mads! Glad you enjoyed it mate, 3 times lol. I went with the one-way as it's first runs will be in the backyard which will be a pretty tight track, so it may help on tight corners. The Hi-Cap shocks that come with it are quite decent shocks, but there is plenty of options out there. Will keep an eye out for your build! 👍

Thanks mate! 👍

G'day Chris! All good here mate, hope you are doing well. Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. I'm hoping to get it out for a run very soon! I have shown the soapy water method in a few build videos. That's pretty much how I always do it. I just use a few drops of dish washing liquid in a bowl of water. Some use a spray bottle but I don't see the point, just dip the decal in a bowl, too easy! I also use a heat gun on it's lowest setting to help the decals bend over curves and stuff, a hair dryer is also good. I may do a dedicated video soon, but until then you can see it in the video below. Hope it helps. Cheers mate! 👍 Skip to 2:20 in the video below. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdpnl5pk2s-YmWg.html

G'day John! I always like neat wiring, although sometimes I do get lazy lol. Oh yeah, that panel wiring would have given you plenty of practice. Thanks mate! 👍

G'day Mark! Oh yeah, they do look sweet. Thanks mate! Yeah they are the same gearbox. The TF is a DF-01, so it was kinda funny when I upgraded my Dirt Thrasher to the carbon chassis. I stood back and thought "Hmm, I now have a Top Force". 😂👍

@@RCHobbyShed Thanks, Mick, something I didn't know, we learn something every day in this hobby! Cheers, mate!

@@MarkBryanRC No probs mate. Tamiya are great at recycling chassis and parts. It's only those plastic bushes they keep sending us that become landfill without ever being used. 🤣

Thanks mate! They are a great looking buggy. Oh yeah, the Beetle is a great build and you can just feel the quality during the build. The semi will keep your wife busy for a while, they look awesome when built. I have a King Hauler and trailer I still haven't got to building yet. I'm hoping to get a wiring video done in the next week or so, I'm waiting on more plugs to arrive which should be here this coming week. Liquid mask is really only good for Polycarbonate bodies, probably not good for the Sand Scorcher. I tried it once over paint and it didn't go well. I think for scuffs and stuff on hard bodies, it might be better to use an airbrush (so you can get in close) with TS paint in it and kind of feather the area out with paint, then maybe polish when dry. That said I will do a liquid mask video at some stage, it's just that I'm out of practice since I haven't painted for a while with all these pre-painted bodies! 🙄 Haha, well you're addicted to a good thing, enjoy mate! Have a great weekend too mate! 👍

Thanks mate! Should be great fun, as long as I can stay away from trees. 😂👍

Thanks mate. They are a nice looking beast. Yeah these supply issues are a right pain! RCmart have them in stock more often that anyone it would seem, shipping is kinda high though. Hope you can get one! 👍

G'day Stevie! Thanks mate. Awesome, you're gonna love it! For the outdrives I just use some blue thread lock, no issues so far. It's just so the outdrives don't slide out a bit and strip the splines. Hope this helps. Cheers! 👍

I've had the 4px since around 2016. Still in love with it like the first day. 😍 A 7pxr would be nice, maybe one day! 😁👍

Thanks mate! That's a tough decision you have there. I have a TD4 in the post right now as I couldn't decide. 😂👍

I grabbed mine from RCmart since my local hobby shops never seem to stock them. To be honest, I've not run a Tamiya brushless motor yet. I have two, this one (15.5t) and a 10.5t but this is the first one I've installed. From what I've seen I think they're on par with most other sensored motors. I'll run this one very soon so will have a better idea of how it performs. Cheers Brian! 👍

G'day Stefan! Hope you had a great Christmas. Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I'm sure you'll love building the EVO, the build should be quite familiar to you after owning the original. Haha yeah, I like to mix up the metal shirts. Cool mate, I'll check out the Dyna Storm video! Hope you have Happy New Year! 👍

@@RCHobbyShed Thank you so much mate.One question for ya...what "Rubber Cement" did you use on the assembly of the diff parts,the first step in the build?I have a hard time deciding what would be best.I do reckon there is a reason for Tamiya suggesting Rubber cement(and not regular super glue) ,,as they do not want the glue/cement to harden ,and crack inside the gearbox when using the car.Which is why i do thing they want somewhat of a flexible glue when doing the ball diffs.Cheers,Stefan

@@TheCarTakerGarage No probs mate! I just used a little bit of thread lock. My car won't get a real lot of use though, so it should be fine. I've heard some people use Shoe Goo or E-6000 which will still be soft when cured. 👍

I used a Savox SC-1251MG low profile servo @5:25 @6:20 you can see there's not much room, so it's best to use a low profile servo. You could mount the ESC on the top plate, basically in the cockpit, then you could use a standard servo. 👍

@@RCHobbyShed Thanks for the reply. Something seems off. I tried a standard DS 25KG servo, and then a Futaba S148 as well, but with the standard servo horn on, if I try to mount using the holes in the chassis, the horn is pressed against the frame mounts in the front.

I know the feeling all too well! You get very excited about the new kit, then just can't find the time to build it. Whenever it does happen, you're gonna love it! 👍

@@RCHobbyShed you don't find the money too, when you've got an house and a family to live with 😅

G'day Alfred! You need "rubber cement" for the diff outdrives. Some people use CA glue or even Shoe Goo. I just used thread lock. It's just so the outdrives don't slip out a little and ruin the splines. You don't need a low profile servo, you can use a standard size if you wish. 👍

@@RCHobbyShed This might be the first R/C car by Tamiya where you need some glue for the outdrives. It is even more interesting that Tamiya did not include it in the kit. Tamiya usually includes all of the fluids that you need to build their kits. It is not a big deal. Thoughts?

@@alfredyost7972 Yeah I think it might have been handy if they supplied it.

G'day Will!👋 Thanks mate. Wow that's pretty crappy customer service, I'm glad you finally got a refund though! I guess my issue could have happened with eBay or any other company but being the first time dealing with Amazon it made me not want to go back.

If this was the original Evolution I would use a brushed motor, but being a 2021 EVO the brushless motor is perfect for it's period. 😉👍
