KZfaq will always be KZfaq. You will always be you. In the end you took a car that has a stereotypical view as being a low grade rc car and you made it great. I think it was a great eye opener to those who watched and the enjoyment we received was priceless. Great job my friend.

Glenn don't apologize mate. The TT02b videos were great. Not sure why all the naysayers. The series was brill. Great to see the underdog coming through

The work put in vs the reward doesn't marry up on KZfaq. On top of that, the demand people put on a channel is very high like they deserve amazing free content as a given. It is tough to make it in this arena, especially with a niche hobby. We live in a high demand throw away media sociaty is my take on things. I appreciate the details, the passion and the knowledge you have shared on this channel and learned a lot. You are unique in the way you present and make me feel excited about RC so many thanks as always 👍🏼

I liked the track videos. Something quite relaxing about the robot woman calling out the lap times!

Massive thanks to Tony & everyone else who have made such generous contributions for all our viewing pleasure! What a brilliant series this has been, I've thoroughly enjoyed it.

Hi Glenn, I respect your decision to retire the TT 02B but I have to say I would have loved to see it at the outdoor track, I think it would have been awesome. Like most people, I look forward to your video's every week and please be encouraged to know that you are making this reborn, midlife crisis RC loving 45 year old very happy! Keep going!

I want to start off by saying I love your channel, I've been watching it for a long time and you do a great job. You put in a lot of work and effort and you deserve way more than what you get. Your new second channel is great also. You always have a positive attitude and as always our entertaining to watch. Keep your head up keep a smile on your face and keep doing the good work your great.

Don't feel down buddy, everything about this project was awesome, do another project where you max out another cheap car they are very entertaining, especially now you have that awesome combo. Don't retire a car that you have so much fun with that would certainly be a shame, use it for your pleasure and don't think about KZfaq just enjoy it 👍🏻

You are our legend👌Thanks for this project, so awesome. And big thanks for you being a nostalgic a time traveller for us that grew up i the 80:ies. Cant say thanks enough🙏

I always enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming! Pay no mind to the Negative Nellies!

Aw Glenn I feel for you man. I would be pissed if my vids didn't get good enough views too with the work you have put in them. I really appreciate your vids and truly look forward to seeing them. Chin up Glenn n keep making golden vids that the true followers enjoy 👍👍. Have you ever thought of doing a rally car build tamiya inspired from a car back in the day as you say ??

Never apologise for being honest and true my friend, always wear your heart on your sleeve ❤️ I’ve followed project performance from the start and loved every minute! What you have managed to do with a TTO2B chassis is incredible! I’m planning on doing the same thing with mine once I’ve got all the parts. Thank you sincerely for all your inspiration, you’re one of the main reasons I’m back in the hobby full time 👍🏼

Glenn, just fyi deans are only second to Tamiya plugs for lowest amperage rating. Only 30amps for a deans. The yellow (XT) plugs are rated at their name size. XT60 is 60 amp rated, XT90, 90amp etc.

Awesome Glenn, loved the TT02B series. Great viewing. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hay Glenn as long as your in joying what you do that is the main reason for doing it the bonus for us is that we get to come along for the journey keep up the great work 👍

I've found that the "journey" is often more fun/fulfilling/enjoyable than the "destination". I wouldn't get too down on the response to the track video. I've enjoyed watching this series.

There is no shame in over 60mph , you basically took a 110 dollar buggy that’s usually good for about 18 mph and made it respectable. You had fun doing it and we had fun watching it . Thanks Glen .

Chin up oppo, I love the series!

Love your honesty mate. Never apologize for your feelings...ever! I absolutely loved this series. 🙏✌😉

It’s all good brother don’t sweat it - hard to know exactly what will appease the KZfaq deity but fret not for you have an extremely loyal following here! Any chance you’ll resume the Patreon thingy so those of us who are inclined to help you out a bit more financially can do so directly? Or is it more about views/comments in general you’re bummed about? We love you Glenn don’t let this stuff get you down 👍👍

your a bloody legend my friend , love all your vids

Hello Glenn I really enjoyed the videos on the tt02b top work as always my friend 👍

i watched it glenn !!!!! it was very entertaining..

I dumped a fair amount of money into a Plasma Edge II after seeing you mod the TT02B to be competitive and plan on taking it down to my local track. Your videos have done a great job of showing that the TT02B is a competitive chassis and can go real fast.

this video reminds me of back to the future standing in a big empty parking lot testing a car all you needed was marty mcfly on his skate board =) =)

You can't be done with this lol more track videos on this please I can't wait to order mine.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series Glenn, and such a great collaboration from the community with such generous donations. I have a similar project for the future myself and from this I can take a lot more experience, so many thanks!

Awesome video series Glen don't be disheartened I loved every minute of it and I'm sure others will too! Loving the videos great inspiration 👏

Glenn, your videos are great and I watch everyone as soon as I can, my wife is not so keen! Your channel is great and just reading the other comments you have a great following! Keep the RC faith! G

Wow that's quick

I wouldn't worry so much about the response, thing is if it makes you happy to bring the project full circle that's what counts. If racing is not your thing anymore no biggie. Stick to what makes you happy, all the videos you do (builds, reviews, runns, mods, rare stuff etc) are relatable and easy to watch.

Great stuff damn fast either way lol😎👍

I think you need a battery with a higher c rating and XT60 plug. Great on 2S though!

Just did a quick math. A 64 t spur combined with a 29t pinion will bring the final drive ratio down to 5,74:1 and a theoretical top speed of 110 km/h or 68 mp/h with the 5400kV motor. This was calculated with 8V battery voltage, 90mm wheel diameter, and an overall loss of 10-12% in the drive train. As a comparison, i have calculated a top speed of 88 km/h for your video setup with these assumptions. Not too bad...😉

Glenn your channel is awesome. I really enjoyed this series. Growing up in the 80s Tamiya are special to me. I watched your white impact series in 2020 and your enthusiasm for Tamiya and love for hop ups made me purchase a dark impact myself. 2 years on I now have a great collection and the dark impact is a fully hopped carbon chassis Df03 MS. Without knowing you put a big smile on a lot of faces with your videos Keep up the good work buddy

Don't be down about it Glenn. I'm of a similar mind set as you regards tamiya RC stuff... I love to build them a run them . But I'm not so fussed about taking them out into the great wide world... I'm not stuck on box art or worried if it's a re,re.. but I get to enjoy way more cars through watching your channel to than I could ever justify buying and owning myself .. so keep up the great work you do in your unique way .. love it..👍

TT02B enjoy your time on your shelf 👍. I personally loved every minute of the journey, the building and ideas and all in-between. I was only 10mph off 2s speed which a bigger pinion or smaller spur would of sorted out😁. I think something was going on with the 3s battery coz the speed difference was nothing to write home about, didn't even accelerate any quicker.. but 5000mah upwards should be plenty of power for 3s. Glenn I appreciate and Love all that you do and I'm grateful for you gracing us with 2 brilliant channels👍👍 KZfaq and it's algorithm is crap at best.❤️👌👍👊👏👍

Fast! Great run.

Wow that's Rapid 👌

Hi Glenn! it's been a really good series- don't retire the car for YT's sake, I'm, still looking forward to seeing the TT02B at Barnyard and further upgrades! I Reckon there's more to be had from the Beastie! It's Difficult for you I guess, the extra effort to film on location and the stress of running on track, plus all the extra editing, but I personally think it's been a welcome addition to your channel(s) and no loss to the loyal followers, -I've been here since 2016 when you were in UK (silent watcher) and I've really enjoyed seeing you get your racing side back on the go :) Don't give up on this one mate, keep running it next to the modern buggy- one will inform the other :) -I think it'll be fun for us and you! All the Best Mate :)

I must say I kinda like this car. it's so cheap, but it's cool looking and with the upgrades it's a a proper good car as well. A car that you can start from kit form at a low price and build yourself up to a great car 👍👍.

Another great videos, thanks

Absolute Amazing Finally to the TT02B Glenn, Seriously 97 KM/H is Insane , the total project was a great one and you set out to achieve that and then some , and then KZfaq didn't match up to it but you personally went way further than that my friend you are Happy with the Car and what you did do with it and it made you feel good for that hats off to you Glenn , Top Job and 100% Awesome effort Regardless , that's what matters Most :-)

No need to be disappointed Glen, For many its the journey and not the destination that is the part they are most interested in. Personally loved the whole series and you have given me some inspiration for my Plasma Edge 2 project i have in the works at the moment.

I enjoyed all your running videos,even the track days videos.60 mph is pretty quick! It’s a great car! Thanks for sharing!

Glenn, first of all a big thank you for the awesome series. About the views...I think with this kind of videos or series is more a marathon than a sprint. The views will increase, you'll see. Sometimes it just takes more time. Personally, I've enjoyed them a lot, so thanks mate! Saludos amigo 👊👊👊👊

Well I loved the 'project performance' series of videos but I suppose you can't please everybody all of the time. As for the car itself, then I think its amazing. So fast!! I know you are retiring it but id love to see it open up on gravel. Anyhoo, great video as always. 😉👍👍

A great series of videos 👍 I have a TT02B that is now going to receive some upgrades thanks to you.

I'm stunned at the speed on 2s, pity the 3s battery wasn't up to the job. I'd love to see you do another performance build with the max10 on a vintage chassis like a hotshot or boomerang.

I enjoyed the track vid dude 😁

Definitely more in it on 3S, something isn't right there Glenn. I have the same motor set up in my, but the 3300kv, on 3S (75C) battery, and I am getting well over 100km/h (68T w 29T pinion and larger tires mind you). Edit: After watching until the end, I just wanted to say, you do you mate. Try not to get too caught up in the mess of the internet. This has been a fantastically fun build and progression to see, and while the stats on your last video may not indicate it, its been really awesome to see it all pan out. Thanks for all of the content!

Loved the 2s! Thanks Glenn. Gauranga 🙂

Nooooooo ! That car is a Tamiya Legend

Another great series Glen. I don’t often comment but I’m there for every video. Keep doing what you do, the way you do it, heart on sleeve, no pretence, that’s what we love.

I was pondering wether to get a Max 10 combo for a while for my dark impact. I think this video has sealed it for me. Going to get one thanks Glenn. Really enjoyed the journey you’ve had with this car watched everyone from start to finish. Keep up the great content.👍🏻👍🏻

I loved these videos different then what everyone else is doing I'm definitely going to get one and race it at our 1/8th track first project I'll have coming soon.

Thanks for the video... I love it and it gives me some inspiration for my own TT02B (some of the things I already did anyway ;)

Thanks for your honesty glen I've personally really enjoyed this tt-02b project I have three tt-02b for me n kids ...we started a similar process a little while before you and are now running a similar setup to yours in one of the buggys...I don't have a speedometer so was really intrigued to see your speeds...plus I personally really enjoyed your track day vids thanks Glenn

Glenn I would love to see it on the outdoor track

I personally enjoyed the tt02b series that you have worked hard on Glenn it has been great to see your journey as with all the projects you do hopefully my tt02b will be almost as good 👊👍

Think the whole TT-02b series may have encouraged more people to try racing or tuning their cars even when just zipping around a carpark. Great video showing another use for the TT-02 chassis think the only thing I haven't seen a TT-02 do yet is fly 😄 That that particular max 10 combo is made for 2s rather than 3s the ESC can take 3s but the motor is only rated for 2s iirc. squeezed one in to a TC-01 and its ballistic 😀

It's been a fantastic series Glenn. Love to see more like it.

Wow rapid Glenn great job man that speeds crazy amazing 🤩 don’t feel flat buddy your channel and vids are excellent and I look forward to seeing all your latest creations and running vids

Thanks for the awesome work you've done with this car! I am currently building a Plasma Edge II and your work has given me an awesome standard with which to work from 👍 Keep up the great work ❤️

The KZfaq gods seem to have more to say on how a video goes down than anything else, I wouldn't worry about it. I think you've done what you set out to and then some, it's a great little series. Maybe it's down to your audience being more build focused than racers? I really enjoyed seeing the progression at the track and have never seen a modern track so personally I really enjoyed the 'finale'. Really glad you got some good use out of the motor, I guess it could be the battery or even the ESC? at 60amp it's not a massive esc. If you have a 2000mah 30c or 3000mah 20c it should at least match the esc.

I just love that build!! I am building mine right now! 😁

Nice job - especially the last video which was great, it really performed well at the track - this feels like unfinished business though. A better performing 3S, for a final flourish to end on a high...it's written in the Tamiya stars...

scary fast

Thanks for taking the time and effort to make this series as I have really enjoyed it. Now I am off to watch the last track video in the series as for some reason I managed to miss that release, probably just yourtube notifications and wanting trying to push other non tamiya stuff for what ever reason. As for ending this series, if you are no longer enjoying it as much its time to move on to the next project. As you can always come back to it in the future if you find a different combo of stuff you want to try and share with us, or not. Either way It was really good seeing a TT02B breaking the UK speed limit for an A class road, even if was only my point something of a mph and that feels like a big speed mile stone for a 1/10 RC car you assembled and setup yourself.

nice video glen. sorry to year it did not get the attention it deserves. the people here will all be here for any endeavours. keep your head up mate.

I have enjoyed watching you prove that these cars can be great. I was particularly interested as I recently built the on road tt02 '73 porsche kit over the winter. My first Tamiya kit since my falcon in 1986. The car is breathtaking and with a few key not too expensive upgrades like bearings, oil shocks and improved steering linkage, the car is fantastic. Quick, reliable, and amazing scale detail. These tt02 kits may be the best current deal in rc modelling. They are high quality build kits. Reasonably easy to build, tons of available parts and upgrades and the scale bodies are epic. Also, the price point puts these within nearly everyones reach as modern rtr cars can be $800- $1000 or more. For $200 ish tamiya kits you simply cant do much better nowadays. Back in the day, I switched to team associated to race with. I still have my A stamp gold pan and my original kyosho ultima from the 80's but this modern kit has proven to be great fun for a few hundred bucks. Not going to race it as I dont care about any of that anymore but these kits are great fun and thats what matters most. I converted mine to a 2s 2p 18650 lithium ion battery and it runs well over an hour on a charge! Quite different than the 4-6 minutes we used to get. Hats off to Tamiya for stiil making affordable, kit build experiences in rc cars. They are really good fun. Cheers.

I've run brushless combos like this in my old DF02 Gravel Hound. Speed was awesome but jeez it hammered the drive shafts. Great vid and fitting "send off" for the chassis

Hey Glenn, it was certainly great to see the improvement in the lap times. I could be wrong, but I think with you taking the car to the track, people may have been expecting and looking forward to seeing you race the car, especially now that you had the lap times down, so I think it’s more just that people probably just thought that last video was another stepping stone to seeing this car race. All the best mate, as the saying goes, you can please some of the people all of the time… you know the rest 🙂

Keep pushing forward enit… fastest tamiya hornet 🐝 next .. or re doing the old tamiya promo videos.. get in touch with me I’d love to help

Great vid Glenn, don’t get despondent with the Tt02b ( or videos related to) enjoyed all of them myself! ( check C rating on battery, I suspect you need at least 60c preferably higher for that kind of power drain ).

Great series on this buggy! Keep up the good work! Someone else here mentioned the xt60 plug over the Deans style and I have to agree with them. I ran almost the same combo of motor and esc in a Tl01b, started with a deans but when it bit the dust I swapped to a xt60 and the difference was very noticeable... more punch and seemed to be faster on top end as well. 2s was fast 3s was almost uncontrollable.

Hi! As according to instruction manual for motor.It is recommended to use motor below 3900kv for 3s best efficiency.As 5400kv will flats at 50000rpm .so you will find that not much speed improvement on 3s.

G'day Glenn wow can you imagine having a car like that back in the 80's. We all had mate's back in the day who would claim to have a Hornet with a sport tuned motor and it does 100km and it was lucky to be doing 34km in reality. Your little Tamiya has wings mate she fly's 👍👍

Hi Glenn, great video! That speed on 2S was amazing. I would agree with other comments looks like either thermal cut out or the battery just not having a high enough C rating. It looked like your return passes were slower which made it look like the car may be slowing down due to overheating. However a better battery and XT60 might help too. Whatever the case, 60mph is also pretty decent for 3S. I also enjoyed the journey you took this car on and how it did at the track 👍

Really enjoyed this project!.. and that definitely includes your track time with it. Sorry your views / comments were disappointing and left you feeling a bit flat. I think it was time we’ll spent! That 3s battery is definitely not up to the job - but that’s possibly a blessing in disguise as far as your new motor combo is concerned… that 5400kv is not meant for 3s as 11.1v takes it to almost 60,000 rpm (unloaded) which is 10,000 rpm over its rated max! Weak battery probably saved it from self destructing! I was really impressed how stable it was at the speeds you achieved. Testimony to a considered and well executed build. 👏🏻👏🏻

Glenn, with that ESC, you can literally go into 17.5 stock class racing! I mean, I get that you’ve hit the goal you’ve set out for with the TT-02B but I feel with that Max10, it can be so much more! Glenn, I enjoy the running videos. Lots of things to learn and learn from. But even if this is the last we see of her, what a series it has been and it just goes to prove you don’t need a big budget to have a good car. I think more people should watch this series before writing the TT-02 chassis off completely. I love both of mine and I couldn’t think of a better first chassis than the TT-02.

My lazer zx5 with 5,5turn motor is up at those speeds i think, but never tested it. In the beginning I crashed every time out..... Glad I had parts=)

Just come to say I really enjoyed this series of videos and don’t like to see you upset by the response of the last video (I watched all the laps you did and really enjoyed your last laps when you got your best time I was well invested at that point 👍) it’s entirely up to you if you want to retire the car but I won’t lie I was really looking forward to seeing it on the dirt track 😁

Went well Glenn 🤩 I’m yet to fit a brushless into my TT02B. It’s definitely a great platform… I’m hearing you about KZfaq! It’s definitely disappointing at times!

Great vids be building my 1st rc soon build similar to this, max 10 only rated to 4000kv on 3s may have been the issue not battery or maybe combo of the 2.still great build series thank you for the effort.

I’m interested to see this car on a race track!

Hey you can do what you choose todo on the channel it’s your channel What ever you do it’s how you present it and you always make a good presented video with something of interest 👍👍👍

Hi glen fantastic video as always, electrically speaking the high the c rating on a battery the less voltage drop you get from the pack eg with the 3 cell lipo the voltage probably dropped to just above the 2cell pack. Think like this big Diesel engine trying to start on a motorcycle battery v car battery both are 12 volt but only one will spin the engine fast enough to start

Great series Glenn. I reckon there is more speed on 3s for it something didn’t seem quite right. She deserves a good retirement!

It sounded real smooth and looked solid for a plastic car going that fast! I am more than impressed with the whole journey 👌 that ESC will work great in the b6😜 Ps. I'll do better on the next series 🤞🤞

That 60 amp esc can only run 3s with motors under 4200kv. That's the problem, the esc went into protection to prevent getting fried.

Absolutely enjoyed the video. Sounds like it's cutting out on 3s.

You need to change your deans plug, to start....lol

Nice job Glenn, i have really enjoyed the series. I would have liked to see you feel the motor, speedy and battery plug to see if there was excess heat causing the lack of power, or your 3s battery just isn't putting out enough current and causing voltage drop under load. Great job on 2s though, looked and sounded so smooth. Ps, i don't agree that dean's plugs can only handle such low power as one of your other comments said. I run them on most of my cars including several 4s powered 1/8 scale buggies with much bigger motors and 160amp speedys,, drawing WAY more power than your are here, and they never even get warm during use, indicating they are not high resistance even at that load.

Hi Glenn great speed run and all around excellent video can you tell me we're you got your blue front wheel hubs thanks

So my speedrun car is a TT02 running the exact system you put in yours, but I'm geared at 68/34 and running a 7100 mah 70c 3s with foams and front & rear aero and best I've done so far is 70mph. Don't trip too much bro. It takes $$ and time trying new things to get up in the high speeds.

I'd like to see it on the dirt track. Been watching from beginning would like to see it get dirty!

Your buggy sounds great. It's possible the speed control is not liking the voltage. Or the thermal sensor is protecting the speed control. I'm sure your battery is good. Anyway it's awesome and loved it. I have a 5700 Castle on my Dark Impact buggy. Haven't ran it yet because I only have a 3S that fits.

Try running it with the thermal temp wire unplugged on 3s and see if it's going into a temperature or load protection and pulling timing out. I run a easy run Max 10 with a 4000 KV and I've been able to smack it with the 3s I usually only run it on 2s because it tends to tear my truck up on three and I do know that you have a higher KV but that motor should be able to take a 3s but it might be getting hot with that pinion gear size. Anyway you should still be very happy with this speed you reached I have a tto2 b that I'm currently building doing an RC from toy story replica can't wait till it's finished

LIKE 👍👍👍👍👍
