This is a weird RC. It's the Tamiya Dual Rider. Fact #1, it's weird. Fact #2, they made two different ones, and you can still buy it today!

I feel like a lot of Tamiya fits into the weird, like those 6x6 trucks with a hundred gears in them. They really only have: touring cars, semi trucks and weird.

@Sysiphos Ай бұрын

In a motorcycle form the steering makes perfect sense, though the mechanics are probably closer to a shopping trolley. The footage of it in the sun is absolutely gorgeous

@DeadnCold Ай бұрын

Exactly, I have an RC motorcycle from the 90s of a Honda VFR750R that works almost the same way. The difference is, the battery was in a swing tray at the lowest part of the bike so a servo would shift the weight of the battery from one side to the other to turn. The front end flops around just like the Dual Rider.

@techspeedrc Ай бұрын

The 'wierd' steering is common on RC bikes, and reproduces how full size bikes work. It shifts the weight to force it to lean into the corner.

I bought my T3-01 Dancing Rider when they were announced. They released tons of option and hop-up parts for it. Among other things, mine has Tamiya Rally tires on all three wheels.

I have an idea for a neat video, do a WPL budget build off. Let’s say you get a 150-200$ total budget you buy any truck from their site I’d be interested in what would come out of it, there’s a lot of ways it can go and would be interesting to see what you guys can do with those little trucks

Monthly mayham idea, 1/10th scale tuff truck challenge. Light aluminum body to show all dents, must be on leaf springs, 4.19 tires, complete to scale. The catch: 6S brushless setup and reverse controls. Also, high speed gears. The truck: trx4 sport, the gray and green version

Riding a bicycle no-handed is the same principal as this steering. Steering axis angle combines with the amount of offset of the front fork to determine how much the bike will steer naturally when leaned. Weird fact of the day.

I ❤ weird RCs. Phil from @TomleyRC just mentioned a website were they have a go kart RC kit, I'm wandering if it's the Aliexpress one you mentioned. I believe I'll have to add one to the collection... 😅 This trike, does it traction roll easily on 2s or does it stay upright no matter how aggressive you are with the steering? Great footage, music and effects on the trike. 👌 Dam Matt, what smooth transitions you make to your usual "subscribe, comment, like, etc" lines! 😄

@scalebuildersguild Ай бұрын

It does traction roll at high speed, or when off throttle, and doing a full beans turn, but it’s pretty stable overall, as speed isn’t a strong point. I love it though!

Weird RCs are the best RCs so really glad to see a second episode of this :) Seeing the GoKart run is awesome too, I really wish those were more common as an entry-level open-wheeler class as they look like such fun (although tbh even open-wheelers aren't that common anymore unfortunately). The Tamiya 6x6 MTs (G6-01) are also quite weird, at first glance they're fairly normal but the engineering is interesting because Tamiya decided that driveshafts are overrated and decided to have a massive Gear Mechanism drive all 6 wheels. Of course its Tamiya so it only comes with bushings which means you then need to go hunt down something like 40 bearings to sort it all out, they're definitely very cool though when given a proper Brushless setup and 4WS (2WS has an absolutely god awful turning radius).

@kspectre21 Ай бұрын

@@scalebuildersguild you're welcome and thank you for reviving this series :) I really like 6x6s so the G6 platform is right down my alley, personally the Kong Head is my favourite but the Dynahead is probably the most interesting as it also features Portal Axles to be sort of like a crawler. I unfortunately haven't had a chance to see one irl so I don't know how well it can actually crawl though.

Instead of 50 cinematic drive bys set to music...it would be nice to just have some regular filming from the drivers perspective. I can't gauge from the slow mo and erratic editing what the actually speed is. I watch RC videos for the cars not the professional level camera work and film festival editing. This is pure personal preference and I can simply just skip passed to the parts i find valuable.

@scalebuildersguild Ай бұрын

Fair enough. As a professional film editor, this is my preference! Thanks for watching!
