Tamiya Aqroshot Review and Speed Test. Brushless 3500kv 

If you don't want to listen to me blathering on about the car then skip straight to the speed test at 4:14

these are back out, in the UK, out of stock in HK, love the looks of the stock street tires, nice demo run, thanks

You are right about those weaknesses. I have a 13,5 T in mine and i have universals at the back with some pro line tyres and i have bent those universals so easily several times. So now i only use it on flat surfaces.

Excellent video Pete, informative, interesting and most importantly fun.

Lovely stuff Pete my mate! This is exactly what I was looking forward to, a Pete Wylie talkie video! Great to hear you - I know what you mean about it being strange when you watch it back - but you will get used to it eventually, well I did anyway. Great mix of information and action, I think you are spot on - and a super smattering of innuendo makes it perfect for my taste - love the tiddly wibbly reference! And honoured for the Mark Bryan reference of course. Wow - 39 mph is really motoring for a Tamiya of any description, and I was really impressed how Ric followed it past at top speed completely in frame - top cameraman! All in all a big treat on Thursday evening - keep 'em coming Pete! : )

Hi Pete. Well for starters there is no way on earth I would have run my Aqroshot through that horse manure lol. But it does put my speed run comparison to shame. I only got 25mph out of mine with a supposed 43000KV motor (think it may be a fake GoolRC one). As I mentioned in your other video those stock tyres are great on the tarmac, no grip at all, just backing off the throttle makes it spin almost 360 degrees lol. I have some Ground Assault to fit to mine for off road but still want to run it some more with the stock for a laugh. Great video and great camera work by Rico.

Excellent test and review, Pete! Yeah, not the strongest but definitely not the most expensive Tamiya kit either (the cheapest actually together with the Rising Fighter?). Uhh, now I got it, about the wheels. Wow, the axles. Never had anything like that happen with my DT-02/03s. But broken the c-hubs a million times I think. And the bulk head/front tower of the DT-02, which is a lot stronger now on the DT-03. But yeah, must've been due to the offset of the blitzer wheels. But strangely I've never had that happen to the Tamiyas with the same offset, particular the 2WD Trucks like the Monster Beetle, the WT-01, Blitzer Beetle etc. So, maybe a combination of the DT-02/03 axles and the blitzer wheels and then some Pete Wylie bashing :-) But excellent review. Mph makes no sense to me so I'll have to convert that, but it sounds fast :-) Love it in black. My Vajra (it's not a silly name, just sanskrit, it can translate to English words like diamond or thunderbolt etc.) is black too, my Super Levant blue/red - but really, love that body in all colors, although I know it's not the most popular buggy among Tamiya enthusiasts. Got a silly plan of converting one of my DT-03's to an Aqroshot one day. Got the wheels, tires and the body. Think I just need the body mounts? Ohh, well. And your orange E-firestorm body is much better looking than mine too (got that red old one). Loved the vid, Pete. Hoping for more videos with you talking. Good choice with the non-Mark Bryan :-) And loved the take 1 of the speed run :-)

Nice one Pete , this beast flys along. Great review, just hope they make upgrades for the universals. I really like these beasts .

Such a cool looking tamiya, I havent seen this model before, but I do really like it

Hi Pete, thanks for the info about the why the wheels look buckled when they turn. Most of my Lunchbox's turn like that. Probably too many rollovers in their 30+ years. Keep up the mega vids my friend...

I think HPI makes a new one of those now since they've been bought out and I think you're slowly coming out with cars I know they're getting parts out.

LoL, this was a fun packed, innuendo filled video which had me chucking away while tucking into my Spotted Dick and custard hahaha. I had to stop eating at the horse poo bit though! I was going to use my Firestorm wheels on my Aqroshot for off road, but after your experiences I think I will stick to the stock wheels and tyres and use it on road, and just use my Neo & Racing Fighter off road. Yes, I love this chassis so much I have all three ! Your Aqroshot is extremely stable at speed with a brushless system. I was very impressed. Great video Pete : ))

Nice speed test good looking truck one i havent seen before👍👍😁😁

Do you do other RC (drones, planes, helis, boats) or just cars? I'm not complaining, I love these videos. P.S - I liked the "blathering" before the speed test.

Hi Pete I find the Kit Tyres to hard as a rubber compound. I´m not using Brushless systems but Torque Tuned and Sport Tuned Motors. I also tried other Wheels and Tyres like the ones that come with the Holiday Buggy but I went back to the Kit ones and I like it.

Very nice video big thumbs up my friend XD 😀👍👍

Hi There, i am looking to get these wheels and tyres for my HPI jumpshot v2. 1/10. They are 12mm hex wheels fitment but 2.8" Would you be able to let me know if these would fit if i got them? I just love the look of slick wheels and tyres. If you could let me know if they would fit that would be much appreciated

I raced the dt03 for a few weeks as a beginner and after breaking the gearbox 3 times I gave up. They just break for a past time.

Hi can I ask do you know if the wheels off a Tamiya Madbull will fit the Tamiya Aqroshot?

17T or 19T pinion? Are there after market spur gears for this kit?

maybe you should get the upgrade parts for the axles front and rear.

Good evening! Does the Aqro body fit to a DT-02 or is it too long?

So why did you run it through excrement?

Those tires would be good for wet asphalt ain't going to puddles on the asphalt or concrete.

My DT 03 goes only 14mph with the stock pinion and motor

Wobbly bits. Lol
