Just watched your Range Rover videos as I have just purchased one myself (great builds by the way), you say you got your wheel arch flares from a company called Loops but after a long search I can not find them, could you give me more info on the company as I might have better luck. Also what tyre size did you use on the blue Range Rover. Would really appreciate your help, many thanks
I bought the xv-02 and I'm putting a Trinity Mod XF-RevTech 5.5 in it. I race a Team Losi 22-x4 with a 7.0 mod Phenom and anything more that a 13.5 turn motor is too slow for me. The terrain I’m running on will be hilly and rough, so a mod motor will provide the extra power as needed. It's going to be a blast running a rally car!
great video...ive just received my js range rover 3 door...although it says team raffee on the box....fab kit...will use some flory sticks to clean up the very slight bit that need it b4 washing the body...not looking forward to the assembly tho lol...
Great video! I was hoping to replace the standard rear knuckles on my XV-01. Any advice you can give would be much appreciated. The standard knuckles take two bearings and a plastic spacer, so the GPM XV1238RST pokes out just enough for the pin that holds the wheel hub to be inserted into the hole. The GPM XV022 knuckles don't seem to work that way. If I try to use both bearings the CVD won't go far enough through the knuckle. If I only use the outside bearing the CVD goes too far. The plastic spacer from the stock knuckles doesn't do anything in the new ones. Am I missing something really obvious?
Great informative videos you have on your channel!! XV01 fan her as well! We've been using this platform for quite sometime now. Here is one of our many upcoming videos on the XV01 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NzJMRcAZ8HQ.html We will be uploading more of these soon. I hope you can check it out too!
It’s a great chassis but for me was a horrible build. I really wish Tamiya would update themselves and make some small changes. The instruction manuals are from 1985, and could be updated and in colour. The way they package parts is just ridiculous. Parts bagged with other parts from different steps, it was frankly just frustrating searching all the time and it literally made no sense. Phillips screws in a kit that cost $400 Canadian. Tie rods are not pre-threaded and are dreadful on the fingers. If you happened to buy the Lancia body and managed to get the fender decals on without wrinkles or bends/cracks then consider yourself extremely talented and lucky. The decals are just a nightmare. I tried to provide feedback to Tamiya (Head Office Japan) but all they do is refer you to a Tamiya “Agent “ which for me was a small distribution center in Canada called Borgfeldt which is some mom and pop shop of 20 people. Borgfeldt was completely useless.
Hi I'm looking at buying the same team raffee chassis and d90 shell. What did you have to do to get the chassis to fit low enough and also to correct the wheelbase? I was hoping it came ready to fit without the need for adjustment?
In the end I got some shorter shocks and the key then was to clear the front pan hard from the chassis. This took me getting a new pan hard mount for the chassis from Boom Racing for the front axle.
hello, first of all congratulations for all the information given in the video.. I would like to know where I could buy the carbon frame kit (frame and upper deck). I would be very grateful
Of late I have bought vintage kyosho and thunder Tiger nitro car's both touring and rally they all work but have struggled to find parts for them so bought these for parts for the other ones I have but have decided to shelf queen all of them as they still all work but I prefer not to run them and get something that I can use with parts that are available than ruin the vintage ones ,I know I will get whinged at but I am not one to destroy car's just for the hell of it
@@radiocontrolcarshed2236 I could run them but I have struggled to find parts for them so when I get offered complete car's as spares I would rather have running car's that are shelf queen's than wreck them and they look nice plus I service them and keep the ready to use never will ,I do admit my 5 RC collection 4 years ago has got out of control I now have nearly 30 now and still growing whoops
From what I've been told with d90s is always put 80mm shocks on short wheelbase trucks as this is going to greatly improve the control of the truck it is going to make it just as capable but it is going to be less prone to rolling because you're actually reducing the center of gravity
Unfortunately the reality is thst no matter what we do, with a heavy body shell and the short wheel base chassis.... This is not a crawler thst will have significant crawling capabilities. But for scale driving, its just perfect.
