Far out that is so cool, having a budget on road car. I may go and present thus to my club.

Ahh, good ole Futaba s3003.....I’ve still got dozens still hanging around in various cars, boats and planes......and other weird projects❤️.

@viper-qi1po 3 года назад

I might buy it simply because they had the balls to give it a mechanical speed control in 2020

@MrVolvobloke 3 года назад

Easy fix and can take the hits !

@keithdowsett8685 3 года назад

This is mainly due to the rules of Banger Racing but they work really well.

Ace👍 I going to add one of those to my collection for me and my daughter to take out, so she can get to grips with a car without me biting my nails down to the quick 😁

@RCKickschannel 3 года назад

That's why I like these so much, just for that reason. Especially as the vintage RC cars are now so expensive and fragile, having one or two of these kicking around to take outside and swap paint knowing these are simple, tough little RC cars that don't cost much to purchase or repair. It just takes the stress out of it and keeps it 100% fun for younger RC fans and RC Dads / Mums. Trash a body, well that's, £6.99 and some old car paint that the kids can spray it on. Slap a few personalised banger decals on it and you are back in action.

@bravo0105 3 года назад

That is interesting: simple, robust, and in line with the first generation of Tamiya’s RC cars. It’s effectively the old Tamiya 934 kit in the 21st Century.

@captainchaos3053 3 года назад

Old school tamiya fans will remember those speedo set ups. Very good for running to much battery and motor! Orings are what I used back in the day to hold in batteries.

@mcjjordan 3 года назад

I find it easier to cut windows out first as less flex then trim arches out etc

@freddieflanders 3 года назад

ive used kamtec models before and there great

@darrenclewes6218 3 года назад

As a Kamtec user and RC Banger Racer, well done for your video, Ive built a few and raced a few, the battery being loose is because you are using a 6 cell where as we use a standard 4 cell and does fit and hold down with the bolts on the top plate adjacent to the two square holes fixed with two 3mm bolts and nuts with a nylon round spacer. The manual speed controller isn’t as fierce when a 4 cell battery is used.

@MrVolvobloke 3 года назад

Manual speed controllers are excellent for this formula, after all you don't want to hit your opponent slowly do you ? Yep, re bodyshells, might as well cut them out as they're meant to be done. Don't be nervous just trace around the windows with a pencil first, then score with a sharp knife . Next score again a little deeper, now go through on one side and apply pressure, the window will 'pop' out. Don't bother with dremels or such this way is quicker and more precise, I must have done close to a thousand of them over the years.

@ifeyecouldpaint 3 года назад

I buy most of their body shells and find it easier to use a soldering iron with a blades and then clean it up with a decent pair of scissors also rubbing it down with sandpaper as for holding the battery in i use a very strong elastic band going around both sides the battery and underneath the chassis

@brsrc759 3 года назад

That's a cool little car

@garethwilding2067 3 года назад

Very impressive quality ,love the simplicity of it, but the Granada body will finish best, best banger car of all time

@keithdowsett8685 3 года назад

@stefff13 3 года назад

I personally use black vinyl for my window on my kamtec body's it works really well

@svenvangroen1351 3 года назад

Love it. Can’t wait to see it running

@gasflange 3 года назад

In my experience a dremel is the best way to cut out windows etc paint wise just chuck it on nothing special as most of it will be on the track sides and other cars after your first race lol. And as for the car build it to last before you try to go fast. And don't even try banger racing if you get a wobbly bottom lip if you don't like contact racing and break your car before the end of your first race because someone has straight lined you into the fence while they haven't even lost pace (it happens a lot) . But if that doesn't put you off its a total riot to do and there's always someone willing to help out with hints and tips to stop you breaking it to much.

@MarkBryanRC 3 года назад

Love it Gav! Looks like it will be a ton of fun - I've got a couple of Kamtec bodies and they are excellent. Good to showcase a British made kit! Looking forward to that Jag body! :O)

Interesting little kit with simple suspension and driveline. I'm looking forward to the finished Jag! Breaking news - "RcKicks main suspect in the ToyTown Bank Job" well, it had to be - the S type shell looks close enough to an old Mk.2; beloved getaway car of the British mobster! Mind you the Mk.1 Granada was used in later episodes of the Sweeney (after the Ford Consul).. Maybe you're lining up to play cops & robbers? "SHUT IT!" :D

@RCKickschannel 3 года назад

Thank you TD for a great post. Made my evening :)

Looking forward to seeing how the Hot Rod and the banger perform as tarmac bashers. I love the look of them and would love to give it a go and get one - but I don't want to end up stuck with a car that's no good on anything but carpet. Need to see how they go first please Gav and Kamtec.

@CarminesRCTipsandTricks 3 года назад

Now THAT looks like a great idea for my 5 and 8yr old Grandbabies!! Does look tough. I would definitely fit an ESC, so it's not running away every time they plug in. (I have "fond" memories of MSCs in the 80's!)😖 But as a Yank, I'm at a loss..... WHAT'S A BANGER?? It's not like Demolition Derby, is it?

@RCKickschannel 3 года назад

Yep it’s old cars racing and bashing into each other.

@KLUTCHdot58 3 года назад

Yep pretty much. Banger refers to the term 'old banger' for a car heading for the scrap / junk yard.

@keithdowsett8685 3 года назад

You can fit an ESC or even order it that way . Banger racing IS Demolition Derby Wreckfest style

@RCBirds 3 года назад

Hmmm, that's really an option. I thought about giving each lf my granddaughters a DT-03. But now I'm thinking about this. Anf off-road car would probably better, but a destruction derby is much cooler. The bodies remind me to the hulls of my boats.

@RCKickschannel 3 года назад

Kids love to bash stuff so this is a low cost way for younger RC fans to go at it without the expensive parts bill.

@toddleavitt3366 2 года назад

Been watching all your tamiya videos. Over 20 years ago I built a tamiya 4WD rally car and a team associated RC10T and just within the last 3 months got back into RC vehicles(after retiring from the Army, divorced, new relationship crashed, inpatient VA TBI program and now back home). I am thinking in a bit to get a kit and build it just not sure which one yet. But on top of that my grand father had an Austin Healey 3000 and back when Zia had the RC vehicles 20 years ago my parents found a Austin Gealey body shell for 1/10 scale rc and now I am looking for a new one do you know anyone or anyplace that I might be able to get one or 2. Thank you love your videos.

Currently building the kit. The instruction manual is terrible, vague pictures, parts in bags not labelled correctly. Having to watch this build on here multiple times to get it built. Coming from a background of MRI installation and medical equipment manufacture the documentation level is shocking.

@JamesToward 3 года назад

unless you have a indoor carpet track near you that do banger/oval racing then they are just paperweights!!

@RCKickschannel 3 года назад

Because tarmac roads or car parts aren't a thing?

@whome7004 3 года назад

Are the rc kits more fragile than other hobby rcs

@RCKickschannel 3 года назад

These cars are designed to bash into each other. Did you see the chassis in the video lol. That's why I think these are perfect little low cost RC cars for bashing around on the street, especially for younger RC kids. The other benefit is parts are amazingly low cost so any damage will only cost a few £ or $. £1.00 - £4.00! Even a replacement body is just £4.99 - £9.99 depending on what version.

Isn't the whole point of a banger race, to deform the bodies of the vehicles for dramatic effect and to survive? Id prefer to see RC cars with realistic but deformable bodies.

@RCKickschannel 3 года назад

Yep the cars look good after a few runs

@keithdowsett8685 3 года назад

The bodies are hard but we do 3 heats , final and DD so it's quite an effort to last that long with repairs between races . You can wreck other cars as per full size so make no mistake , these cars are very realistic the way they damage each other
