Tamiya's Sloppy Mess BT-01 RC Build With A Twist 

Great tips thank you man.

For accessories I recommend the fastrax exhaust set #2202 . You get an inside bracket a rear numberplate surround to reinforce the mounting point and you can choose to have twin back box or single sided the bracket allows to slide exhaust in or out for personal preference can sit straight or angled . Use them on all my cars and their wing mirror set.

I'm literally unboxing and making the thank you video for the awesome Kyosho Datsun 240z that just arrived! Thank you Gavin, Raffall, and Rochester RC for this amazing gift. I need to pay some notes first, but a super thanks is definitely coming your way, sir. You're the best!

Let the Slop Continue!!!

Looks great mate, In the middle of doing a all out TAO2 build with a stupid amount of genuine Hop up parts, As i enjoy finding and collecting the parts. Got the Lancia body and Mustang SVT Cobra R body so far but going to collect more and just change out bodies, Then going to build another chassis and start again!! The Tamiya bug has hit hard again after 30 years.

I love that opel calibra cliff body. My favorite for sure...

Awsome job, seeing that calibra on here shows it off a lot better than pics, i acctually like it now 😁

Thank you for this video! Your bodies are so realistic! Opel Calibra on FWD chassis looks awesome. Frankly I am amazed that they did not realease a 4WD Turbo Rally Calibra kit to accompany the Toyota Celica, Escort Cosworth and Lancia Delta models back in 1994/1995. As I recall the only full Tamiya Calibra kit available back then was a 1/8 gas powered one.

It amazes me when people go for a scale look then have big body posts sticking out. Its about time manufacturers moved away from them.

great paint guide thanks

Love the work and it looks great

Calibra shell turned out nice 👌🏻 would of done the supra different 😉

I want a Calibra body. The Cliff looks nice. FWD was available up to late 1990. And AWD after I think

Yesterday, I tried to take out the play between the suspension parts of a MB-01 chassis, which took two hours. The problem isn't that much the actual play, but the fact that it takes quite a few screws and parts that influence the space between parts. These need to be put together and apart every time. Another problem is, that the sides (R/L) aren't necessary equal, which means two 0.2 mm shims on the right side may yield a different result on the left side. I think the main problem is, that there are two countersunk screws on the bottom that put the end "caps" up, but not necessarily towards the arms which creates some kind of random space every time the screws are put in. The whole frame is a bit weird. They seem to have designed this around modularity and symmetry. But I'm not really sure if I want that. After all, I don't mind buying a RWD chassis for a RWD car and FWD chassis for a FWD car. As for the decals/stickers: I use a cheap little (I think 300W) hot air "stick" from AliExpress and heat up the stickers, when they are in place after using some soapy water and a paper towel. It takes only 2-3 seconds to heat up the sticker to a state where I barely can touch them. It's a bit like magic sometime, since they completely take the shape of the surface. But it's important to note, that this needs to be the last step, since after that they usually can't be removed anymore without damaging them. A good tool is a cotton swap to push the stickers into corners and seams to get the water out and firmly pushing them on.

Those Opel Supra's are worth a fortune

Hi I wish I knew why utube unsubcribes me from my favorite channels but I am back again have a great day

Looks very nice 😊

Come on Gav get those Opel decals off the Supra! Doesn't need the whole lot removing just Opel. Get some TRD and Toyota ones on there.

Hi, I like the shelves you the buggies on. What kind of shelf system is that, and where did you get it?

Question with the water technique, can it be used on a hard shell such as the Lunchbox, I only ask as I'm about to build one with my 6yr old as his first Rc and want him to be able to do as much as possible. I will be giving the shell a lacquer coat after main colour is done.

Great job, Gavin! I still struggle to get these crisp lines after painting my fifth body. It surely takes a lot of practice and patience. By the way: Do you know what these grub screws are for in the upper and lower arms of the chassis? The MB-01 got the same, but couldn't find out why.

I need someone to finish my Tamiya body. 😢😂

Question might be a silly one but what is the best tyres for a tamiya tt02 when the motor is a brushless 4370kv just ive gone through 1 set already ? Thank you in advance for any advice

Calling fwd a Calibra DTM feels totally wrong

Tamiya just flubbed this one

How sloppy is it compared to the two decent tamiya benchmarks. A bit sloppy like the TT-01 or sloppistrophic like TT-02? Or worse?

Hey June bare with me

just think in 20 years time after youve installed a roof rack to the supra people on ebay will be like why has someone ruined that body

Is the title wrong on this video?

I think your version of the shell is about the only good thing of this car 😂 Sorry, i know I'm really dumping on this chassis.

I really don't get why you guys (RC RU-vidrs) are all doing these raffles cuz from what I can see it's only benefiting you guys and massively, because if 300 people have just 1 go £2 you get £600 for a car worth a quarter of the price, well less in this case. Not really giving back to the community when lining your wallets.
