The Hardest RC Body I've Ever Done! Finishing And Running The Tamiya Buggyra Fat Fox TT01. Kit 58661 

Love it absolutely wicked truck, very cool, cheers KC Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😎👍

Beautiful!!!!! When I do a build I don't plan a completion time, in fact I love building so much I savor the time it takes, ok I'm obsessed.

That's a BIG 10-4 Gavin. 🚛👍

I rescued one of these and it was unpainted. I really like all the tips you provided. Thank you.

This is my favorite Tamiya kit. So tedious and so rewarding if you take your time.

i know what it's like to be your own worst critic but this looks hot.

Great job my friend , love the look of that truck .Well worth all the effort you put into it , absolutely epic work .

you did a great job on the shell it looks fantastic

Gavin, that looks awesome buddy. The body certainly looked like a pain to paint and assemble. I would love to see that set up for drag racing. Great job 👍 thanks for persevering through the heat to bring us RC nuts another great video. Mark.

Thats a shelf queen , would never dream of running that at a race .looks far to good. One can of white is my best friend for a racing body. 😂

Very nice 👍👍👍

Looks amazing mate

NICE JOB 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

Great truck I did a custom paint job. I was going no where never those stickers. She is now 5400kv 2s Hobbywing and goes 45+ mph and smooth with it.

What a stunning looking truck that is Gavin,like you said,upgrading to a lipo will make it come alive. Well done mate.

Great Job Gavin!! Truck looks the Dog's doo dahs 👍😄

Absolutely stunning work Gavin, well done, the gunmetal Grey inside like you said is a great idea. Thanks for the great video

Took me 8 hours to trim and assembly the body. Another 8 hours just for the decals.

I had to stop and post a comment. You aren't kidding! I still haven't finished putting all the decals on mine what a freaking pain in the ass this body is! Keep it up brother love the videos. P.s I used velejo air acrylic for the blue perfect match. If anyone uses the velejo acrylic paints make sure that you put a layer of clear matt over it to seal it.

definitely getting that truck. looks good

I had no desire to buy this kit till I seen this video, it really looks great!!! I would love to see some up grades on this.

I ran into the same dilemma with my RE Kyosho Optima. Even without running it, the paint did peel off. I beat myself over my oversight. However mistakes do happen.. Cool video, excellent content and I learned a lot. Looking cool.

Accidentally wrote Lit instead of kit in the description & Wouldn't mind seeing some upgrades too this, some power upgrades maybe sensored 13.5t motor, 2nd tallest pinion you can stick in the chassis, & parts so you get adjustable camber, toe in, toe out etc... Maybe dedicate a kit too use one chassis & do multiple different bodies. Like one with an undertray for rally along with tamiya rally block tires & fitting rims like the lancia delta integrale or similar classic 1990's rally car. A wide 200mm body with wide offset rims & tires like an hpi, dodge viper or something. And perhaps different shocks in the front making it a bit stiffer.

I love the look of this truck and I haven't considered.one before.

That looks pretty cool, pimp it up a bit.

Love it! Inspired me to get one

Looks great Gavin! I’ve always turned my nose up at these....this has changed my mind! Think I’ll source one for a build once some of my projects are done!

I really enjoyed the video. Was just at a local race and they had the Euro Trucks great

very nice

Yep the Truck is begging to be pimped up👍😄

Nice build 🤘🏼

One of my customers and racer painted his F103 with TS paint and had no problems! He used TS because he wanted to paint it as a shark mouth P-40! Scuffing lexan was smart!😊 Can't remember the chemical name for the etcher for making paint stick to lexan, but do a Google search. Looks great! Nice job!

Looks awesome Gavin!!! Turning radius looks a little disappointing

Excellent job looks great got a new sub👍👍👍

i've nearly finished a full aluminium upgrade on mine with a 16t pinion gear at the same time using the chassis as a rally car for club racing with a brushless set up on 2s so a bit of work to do my body is the team reinhart mann racing truck my brother has the buggyra

Thanks for the video, just got this kit now I know what I am in for with the body... throw some bearings and the aluminum prop shaft set in. I have mine ready to go before I start the build. Also planning on fitting Yeah Racing 55mm shocks and probably going brushless

Trick it out. That foxx is bad ass!

Very nice amigo 😀👍

Nice

im planning on getting a tt01e HKS nissan skyline! so excited!

You should try BittyDesign liquid mask, I just started to use it on my body shells and it works great as you can brush or airbrush it on and can be thinned with water. Truck looks great definitely getting that kit to run alongside my Actros.

the hell of stickers

Regarding your black paint , you could use the PS clear on the outside then respray black and it will adhere .

You spent hours and days getting it to this stage............. Be a shame to stop now = upgrade, boost, pimp, supercharge! I'll wait for that so subscribed. Thanks

great vid i am thinking of getting one of these and would love to see the upgrades

I found it to drive better and fill the fenders nice with the wide axle set on front and rear. Its not race legal but i am not also.

Don truck!...

You used the wrong paint 🤨 so you just glossed over it 🤣 took me a while but I got it 😂. Very funny

our local track is running the euro trucks as a stock class. They look fun and arent as serious as other classes. Whats the spoiler that you used as that looks sharp? I'm leaning towards the buggya vs the cabovers.

I will eventually start mine which i bought 8 months ago,but the body and graphics are scaring me.lol

Took me 8h to decal the beast

Nice..please have it shipped to my place..😛

Don't be so hard on yourself. Back in the 90's when I worked in a body shop, I painted just about everything with PPG paint. If you scuffed it, you should not have any issues. I raced a losi XX with multiple colors and it never chipped at all.

Hi, just building the Fat Fox. Yours turned out great! Do you know the colour code of the backing gun metal colour you used on the body? Also where did you get the Goodyear tyre decals? I enjoy watching your videos, thanks.

Yes what upgrades would be the best for that model

My hornet is done in metallic blue it really nice in sun

NEW SUBSCRIBER 😀. 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

Sell the body and do it again. Win, win, win!

Would be good to see a video about the upgrades

Just brought this today Gavin and amazed but also how much is involved with painting and masking the body and cutting out.What sort of brushless set up would you recommend for this bad boy.Would be great if you did an upgrade video too.I see what you mean about all the decals there is.😊👍

Im going to have to stop watching your channel Gav! its costing me a fortune! I remember the days when I only bought vintage tamiya's, Im not going to go into how many other rc cars I now have thanks to you haha, but needless to say they have burned a very large hole in my pocket. Now I can feel another purchase coming on LOL!!! That truck looks awesome, I want one :):):)

What makes it worse is they aren’t peel & stick stickers. Where did you get the wing? My body kit did not come with a wing. PS-40 is guaranteed not to stick, you can respray it after it flakes off.

Hi Gavin, which spoiler did you use?. Steve.

Tamiya stickers the pain of my life , When you have big fingers, I like the body will it fit the TT02 as they are almost the same I think 👊🏻👍🏻

Does that wing come with body, if not, where did you purchase it?

I don't understand why England doesn't use Air conditioners. It gets hot and humid. How do your possessions and houses not get full of mold?

Very nice! Apparently my brother is hooking me up with one of these fir my birthday. I am very much a nimh driver (no interest in switching to lipo) so what do you think would be the hoppiest motor i could get away with in this thing to get a bit more zip out of it??

Sorry one last thing I really think you should start using magnets for body. I know there all the cheap magnet options but a Magnet with a 3mm or 4mm hole in it from the factory can fix all bodies that are not “pre drilled of course” you can buy these magnets in bulk and they are cheap. I’ll send you a video about it.

The spolier, who make the wing?

So, using a Scotch brite pad to give the plastic body a key won't show thru on the outside?

What spoiler did you put on?

Why is the HOLOUBEK on the hood/bonnet mirrored? looks odd.

I almost buy this every time I get on Amain hobbies. I love the looks and the idea. You saying that the body is hard is everything I need to know about this kit. I love RC but not cutting lexan or cutting stickers. Just not good at it. Thanks for pushing off the kit until I’m ready for the body work.

Sweet looking truck but I don’t like all those decals on them. If I build one it’s going to look like a semi truck with a trailer.

Even harder than the TC01 Formula E Gen 2 bodyshell?

Question Gavin, what did you do to the tires in white? Is it just white paint over the Tamiya marking or is it a sticker, looking great/

What would be a good brushless setup for these chassis tto1e and tt02

Looks great. What would you suggest if you where to take the truck racing? Witch is what I'm planning on doing

Have you tried liquid mask?

Does it suffer from torque steer on high speeds?

Man i want one so bad now but no where to drive it.

Nice. Does the body scratch on the under parts when turning fast? Also does it feel heavy with the high center of gravity - like a truck? Or do you need to put some weight up there. Cool as.

TS-40 ,You are a one!

Hi mate is it possible to purchase any of you're builds or indeed get you to build a kit for me.? Thanks

Would backing it in PS help stop TS from cracking? It should be more flexible?

Can anyone send me a link for the exact spoiler that is on the rear of this truck? I like it and would like to order one. TIA

hi do you know where I could get a new body for a suboru impretza

Just wondering can it fit to touring chassis like yokomo bd8? Anyone has try?

upgrades

Way too many stickers, but was a fun kit to assemble.

Using ts instead of ps......... We've all done at some point lol.

Get a chassis. (Check my FB page for the one I got. Slick.)

Nobody wants to buy that truck foo
