What Tamiya RC car to buy
Рет қаралды 33,223
Күн бұрынWe check out SC Models a local shop that stocks Tamiya RC Cars.
We are well an truly hooked on Tamiya racing following our induction into the Iconic cup and we have been planning next year already.
Following the West London leg we got hunting for spares and bits we needed to get our Tamiya M03 cars up to scratch, but following the endless evenings of scrolling the web we came to the conclusion that spares are becoming increasingly difficult to source. Therefore we plan to start again from scratch but we need another car. So join us as we go Tamiya shopping...
Lets see what they have got down at SC Models

We had a basically tamiya only store an hours drive from me. I got all my stuff there, one day I walked in and they were packing stuff up. They were closing. So I got all the hop ups for my db-01 and my df-03 for basically nothing. Would rather have a store like that near me again.......

Not sure if you still got the chassis. But tamiya does release some killer bodies with their kits. I had 2 tt01s and a basher tt02. The tt02 offers a MUCH more rigid plate especially when you buy the “hard” option. I would keep this for parking lot type stuff,but look at a TA or TB. They are much more rewarding to drive and handle. I prefer shaft driven.

Cheers for commenting We are in the process of building the TT01 at the moment as we hope to race them next year at the iconic cup… check out our best of west London iconic cup video if you have not seen it before… I have raced the TRF416 in the past which is a lovely drive and I am interested in the TA cars … they are on my wish list.

If you were to choose a bodyshell. For me, the Raikiri GT is the closest to competition grade touring car shell. That is a tamiya of course.

Welcome to the channel we have lots of Tamiya content as we race in the Iconic cup series which is a Tamiya race series. Some of the fastrax and yeah racing hop ups are very good for tamiya and often easier to get hold of. Fastrax are distributed by CML so easy for modelshops to order

Hello, what can you recommend to me as a beginner in rc, which is better tt-01, tt-02 etc, thank you
@PopalongRC Жыл бұрын
If you have seen our Talbot race vid you will see that the TT02 is quite Racable straight out the box and there are lots of upgrades available. We have a lot more experience running the TT01e and have lots of guide and tip on how to get the most out of them. We plan to do the same with the TT02 cars so more content coming soon

My list 1. TXT 1 2. Bruiser 3. F350 High Lift 4. Blackfoot 5. Frog 6. Clod 7. Mustang GT4 8. Ford GT MKII 9. Fast Attack Vehicle 10. I would love to build a Abrams tank - Iʻll have to mortgage the house for a Tamiya tank. Can I send you my wishlist? Tamiya is so underrated in the RC world, and I feel that Tamiya offers the best engineered products for sale today and I donʻt think any other brand could demand high prices on NOS like Tamiya kits do.

I'm planning 2 Tamiya builds this winter. I've just taken delivery of project 1 which is a fun one - the Grasshopper II - cos I've always wanted one. 😁 When that is completed, project 2 will be either a Neo Scorcher or a Plasma Edge II - I'm still undecided.

Nick, some great projects in The pipeline, I must say I’m tempted by the neo scorcher👍

Have you done an episode where you look at entry level RC cars? Going to buy my son a 1st one...had a tamiya as a kid but are they not the go to/entry level anymore?
@PopalongRC 2 жыл бұрын
We have done a few vids on the subject, the Brushless ftx vantage is a great entry level car👍
@PopalongRC 2 жыл бұрын
Depending on age there are cheaper cars to get tuoi started such as the ftx comet which is a great 2wd buggy which we race at Sundon models. Tt01 is a great starting point for indoor carpet racing and is used in the Tamiya junior series. It depends on the sort of driving you want to do… let us know and we will point you in the right direction.
