A tweak to ze rules, a speed run, and a rad running vid. This video checks all the boxes. 

Love it, Fil! Great news for me as I don't have a fast brushless setup! Well, I'm not sure if my 15T brushed will be that fast but we'll give it a go! Your TT02 looks awesome and a decent benchmark speed. Don't know what gearing you're running but stock gearing is very limiting. Great video and boy, that vacation spot looks beautiful - enjoy!

Fil that camping destination looks fantastic! So awesome.

Nice to divide brushed/brushless 👍 I'm tempted to accept the challenge 🤔

Yes Fil! Love the rule changes and there is something there for everyone now!! Run number 2 was supposed to be today but it is cats and dogs here in the UK!! Enjoy the hols pal 🙌🏻

Great video. It’s a fun car

Only just got wind of this years speed challenge. Loved looking at last years entries. Funds aren't there this year to compete with you all, but roll on next year, whatever that challenge will be. Love the rule change as I am Nimh and brushed still..... Good luck to those taking part

I like the idea of the two classes, makes it a lots easier for a lot of folks! Gathering my bits and pieces now for the build and my attempt! I loved seeing your run around and it looks great! Have fun on the getaway!

Great idea!… not sure which way I’m going to go…. Great video.

That's a cool thing to split the motor competetors. If it isn't for the money Yeah Racing has great upgrate parts for the TTs. You'll loose the sloppy steering immediately.

Cool idea I already filmed my intro with a brushed motor and a lipo but I plan on going brushless

I think the rule changes a great idea. You really need to get some much taller gears in that thing if you’re gonna have any chance of going fast! That motor should easily get that car to 60 mph with the right gearing. Depending on the gearing options available, really 70 mph should be doable. Good luck.

Hey brother I’m in, just recently found your channel and I’m happy to see another BC boy making some RC RU-vid content. Picking up a TT02 this weekend and going to start getting it ready to compete Btw great spot you live in, took me a minute to figure it out but was able to see the high school name. I used to live in Alberni so I’m well aware how awesome it is living the Island life 😁👍💯🇨🇦

Great rule adjustment Fil! This challenge is obviously firing up quite a lot of interest in RU-vid land, you're guna have your work cut out keeping up with all the entries! Yep, the steering on these things is slop city...... potentially a main factor in that huge amount of torque steer they suffer with. Cars looking great dude, I'm thinking gearing is guna play a huge part in this challenge..... bet you can squeeze a fair bit more out of that with a few tweeks. Enjoy your break fella, looks delightful! 👍 👍 👍 👍

Hi Fil. Late again to the party but just to let you know I'm doing a couple of runs on brushed and also some on the brushless. Lovely looking car but yeah I would expect more from a brushless system like that.

Nice 😊The Tamiya brushless motors are extremely slow for their turn rating. I also had the 10.5T. Switched to a Hobbywing 10.5T combo and a big pinion and was hitting 88km/hr easy but limited by control. Couldn’t keep it straight!

Nice rule modification. I’ll still stay in the Safety Car category. 😁 Fun to see all the entries.

Adjust the timing on the motor to squeeze some extra power out of it.

We are in and will be putting a video up soon. We are already doing a Tamiya semi speed run challenge that ends on the 31st and have hit 53 mph with close competition

Yeah, man, yours is a Nissan, mine is a Toyota! Well, yours looks cool, I think mine will look like a weirdo, ha ha... 26.7 is really nice, but now it's time to play with gearing, I have a 64 tooth spur coming, haven't bought a pinion yet, even... Regarding on-road setup, I can't help you, never tried it, ha ha... I know it needs to have a stiff suspension... Great to see you added the brushed category also. Have a nice little holiday there, dude!

Kinda wish I could enter my Plasma Edge II speed run car. Can’t be assed transferring everything over to the BRZ roadie. 😅

Car looks cool makes me want to get another tt02 or maybe another body 😅

Hey the new rules make sense but it's a shame for me because my only goal here was to beat Mark Bryan and he's running brushed whereas mine is brushless 🙁 Nice run you had there but you can defo go faster 🙂

Shim the wheels and anyplace else that needs it

26mph? You have to bump the gearing to 64/29 on the pinion and spur. and run 3s. the speed will knock your socks off.

Can I just check, are there any rules around gearing - not so much gear ratio, more so around pitch? Only ask as I have a few different pitches but not sure if we’re limited in this challenge. Cheers from across the pond mate 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸🇱🇰 Ps do you have a set of scales? I only ask as for club racing I was taught how to balance my car on a set of Rc scales, which helps with balance / car control on track so I can only assume it crosses over and applies here too. Also, not sure what suspension set up your using but maybe try messing around with different springs and shock oil (hard vs soft) and see if that makes a difference when running on bumpy ground …and of course get a set of YeahRacing /TRF 50mm suspension kits - these help with lowering the ride height. Hope this helps buddy 👍😎🇬🇧🇺🇸🇱🇰

Good stuff got mine together waiting on hop ups for first run.. Build vd is up and running.. Whats the feeling on RW drive or locked diff? 😎👍

Your driver front tire looks loose at the end.

This challenge just keeps getting better!, I'm so glad there's 2 categories now, it means more awesome contestants and more awesome video's too🏅👌. Hey that body turned out to look hot!. Good luck with your car and thanks for the update and run video mate, we're revved up ready to see more from everyone👍😁🦘🇦🇺

I wouldn't limit the brushed guys to only nicads or NiMh packs... What if a guy only has lipo packs and knows he has a fast brushed motor, faster than any brushless motor he has? Just my 2 cents.

Does that car have to have a bodyshell on it for it’s time to count?

LOl Poor Boys RC as he sits there with 10 grands worth of RC cars on the wall. not hating but cumon..........

Tighten the nut on your left front and you will loose a lot of the slop you showed. LOL! If the wheels are still loose you know how to use shims. Traxxas gets most of it's vehicles over 50mph with a 3500kv motor. A 10.5 is closer to a 4300 to 4500KV motor. You are WAY TOO UNDER Geared.

Much slop in the steering can be reduced by using a long enough M3 bolt from underneat the chassis and a washer and nut on the top. Also, i'm not sure if you have the option nr1 alu steering set, but that is rubbish. If you don't have it yet, don't buy it. The best steering set is sadly enough the Tamiya one. And i say sadly, because of the price. On ebay there is also a little carbon bridge that ties the to pivot points and the ballbearing cap together. I got it with the option nr1 alu steering set (that's how i know it's rubbish), but you can get it separate too.
