Tamiya XV01 vs XV01 Speed Test Brushed Absima 18T vs HPI Firebolt 15T 

Legendary RC rally boys out for fun yet again, appreciate these great videos 👍🏻

Wow Mark that was pretty darn fast 👏 nevermind Rob🤣 great video Guys love it thanks for my weekend viewing 😊 i really look forward to it 🙏

I always enjoy watching you and Rob enjoy this hobby! Excellent top speed on your refurbished car Mark!👍😊 Myself and a buddy are talking of building a couple of these so we can rally about!

Very nice, both were more than fast enough!! @9 was impressive Mark and Rob's was no slouch! Seems like everyone wanted to be in the video this week, lots and lots of extras! LOL!

Iol always a joy from you two! Hey that fence with those big heavy hard weights looked nasty with those cars on that slippy surface! Rob got a little close! Iol but all good! Great speeds both and 29 Mark that's flying and l can't say enough about the Thrust motors so cheap but definitely very cheerful! Great stuff guys Cheers James.

Fantastic run, Mark! And Rob, well, a bit below that but still a nice watch, ha ha... Bit of friendly competition, always worth it, probably gave you an mph or two extra... Always good entertainment from the two of you, I am sure all the others visiting that park also agree!

Rock on 🎉 thanks for your upload mate 👍🙏🐱

Hey Mark, another super speed run with a couple of awesome looking XV-01’s. I think I will have a go with my XV-01 to see how well it goes in stock form. You mentioned 16mph. That Absima motor is very good indeed. I have one in my Absima AT3.4 Truggy and I believe I got 33mph with it using my NiMh pack. For the money, they are fantastic brushed motors. Great video 😊😊best wishes to you and the family 😊

Hiya mate. Oh it's always such fun when you guys get together for some sort of contest. Especially enjoyed the outtakes. Anyway wow that motor you have is crazy quick for brushed. I need to look up what mine did on brushless but it wasn't much more from what I remember. Be good if you could get a radio with a gyro for speed runs as it should keep you away from those pesky fences when traction is low. Very enjoyable mate. Best wishes 😁👍👍

i liked the chap who stopped in shot 😂 great speed guys👍 considerably faster than mine😂👍

Nice one lads! So looks like the delta managed to win 🥇 but your both winners, it’s all about fun with you two 😂 cheers mark

Nice Mark and Rob,don’t think I’d want more with xv-01! at what around £8? those absima brushed motors make you wonder about 20-50 quid brushed motors?see also you chose a nice dry sultry day up there for your speed runs😉

Ok, now I busted out my XV-01 and gonna use a 19 turn motor with 22/68 gearing on 2S.... I need to get at least 25mph.... LOL Awesome my friend, almost at the 13K mark... Keep going dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ATB to all and let Lou know that app is working...

As you said in the description mate - you'd have thought a 15T would have outpaced an 18T, how strange. But anyway my fave rally car won, so no complaints from me. An excellent an insightful comparison. Have a good week dude..😀👍🏻😀👍🏻.

Who doesn't love a good speed run and a nice bit of friendly competition?! Great fun guys, and I'm not surprised people kept stopping in interest..... those two cars look devine! What dick put that gnarly fence up there? 🤔 That didn't look very lexan friendly to me,combined with those wet conditions and rest assured I would be going straight into it.... Or, over on the opposite side be-heading those gorgeous spring daffs! 😂 Great driving, and great upgrades guys. Oh, and thanks for winning Mark.... that coin flip worked out just right eh bud?!! All the best guys. 😊 👍 👍 👍 P. S Don't be too hard on Rob regarding getting the SDR and EPA muddled up on the transmitter..... I done exactly the same thing on the TTO2 speed run challenge! Life becomes complicated as soon as you have more than one nob to play with! 😂

24 and 29? Phenomenal speed run 👍 Wasn't quite expecting those numbers but well done for sharing with the rest of us 😂😅

Hahaaaa Rob just appeared out of thin air🤣🙋‍♀️funny as👌. We had our money on McRob for the lower turn motor and lost the lot🙆‍♀️😭. We reckon Mark had a dodgy label on his 10 turn motor hehe. We're surprised you chaps even kept them straight enough to get to top speed on the slippery path😳👍. Thanks for the great video and the laughs Cobber's!!! from your Aussie relo's🙋‍♀️🤠🦘🇦🇺

Awesome stuff fellas, a couple legendary rally cars driven by a couple legends! The poor bloke in the hi-vis vest behind you must think you're both nuts! Lol!

Woah great runs out there guys. I think we need to stiffen up some of those steering components for a straighter run. lol Thumbs up again for a FUN video

Great video chaps, Ive been using this motor after seeing your tt02 run. It's brilliant, got 31mph out of a fighter Rx buggy ! Only thing is both motors burnt out pretty quickly, so I'm going to try the absima rebuild motor in future.

great speed tests marky those firebolts have come a long way tbh under hpi i remember the old ones were terrible i had a 11x3 turn that couldnt keep up with a racing 17turn lol 😂😂

Nice little motor that mark , and only £8 at model sport ! I’ll order a couple of those 👍🏻

I think you two should have drank a few less pints before driving modified rally cars on wet roads😀 The cars got really loose but were still fast. Love the brushed motors and it’s good to see you and Rob having fun. Take care -Paul

Nice run😊

Nice speed runs guys, just needed a bit more grip haha

Great vid Mark and Rob 😁👍. What were you running to get 16mph previously mark? Was it standard silver can with nimh?

I think the 15T is a 550 motor,which would make it something like a 21T 540.That would explain the lower performance of the "15T" motor. 550 winds are different to 540,and not equivalent. Just saying....the XV-01 is on my list as the next rally car., always heard good things about the chassis.

Wooo! 29mph nicely done. What was Robs speed ? Never mind, nobody remembers 2nd place hahah😅😅😅 have a good day guys

Nice and funny race. Great entertainment

Great to see the rally cars out for some action, I think the xv01 needs some weight added on the rear in those conditions, both cars looking sweet though 👍

Well done Mark, sorry Rob 😅 great video 👍 take care 😊

Great run, both rally cars are awesome👍

This was really enjoyable to watch after an enjoyable EFL final Rob sure was all over the place 😁 I knew you would win 👍as that HPI is just not good. What pinion did you use ? 22 ? (I'm sorry if u said it in the video)

Lol!!! Oh my God! Hitting that bag of tamiya hotshot tires hard today! Great video guys! Almost had coffee come out my nose. :)

That was great 😂 laurel and hardy have nothing on you guys 😂

Good speeds but you need a dry day and a place with out a fence to hit as Rob was very close.

I use the same motor for racing, amazing!!! It is 9,99 in my country (germany) and for 10 euros more u can get the rebuildable one. The absima brushes also are cheaper tham tamiya

Did I say they rob is going to win , it made a mistake I mean it's going to be your win Mark 😅😂

Terrific shakedown! I am curious as to the gearing. What pinions are in play here? Cheers

Found it. 😅👍🏻

Trim those XV01s to go straight!

😎👍

❤ very cool car Video 😂💧🔥♥️♥️😍🤩👍😎👑👑🤣🌞😇🏆👉😊

Are you going to get an XM 01 pro? And bt01 and a mb01?

"Have you got that?" "No!" 😁dang people throwing off the video but you guys made it work. Awesome cars and a good laugh.. can't ask for much more. Decent speed for scale driving too! Thanks Mark and Rob!

That hpi motor must be either faulty or your gearing is very low as I use the hpi 15t firebolt in a couple of my older RC's and in my hpi sprint and tamiya ta04 I get just under 40mph... 78spur 36- 40 tooth pinion on zippy 4000mah 2s and HW 1060 esc, and believe it or not it doesn't even get above 80°c. It's most likely down to the internal gearing ratios 👍👍
