Mk1 Escort by any chance?

Without a shadow of a doubt 👍🏻

@@SANDSCORCHER And put it on the wrong chassis too 🤔

Have you cut out your Micra shell yet? And if so, how's it looking?

Hi mate, no I'm not sure, how do you calibrate a SKY RC gps?

Probably you didn't keep the top speed for long enough. This is at least a 40mph car

Cheers mate 👍

Thanks very much mate👍 More upgrades soon 🙂

Cheers mate! Subbed👍

@@maninshed5485 thanks man ... keep bashing 🙂👍🏻

Cheers mate!

I was wondering how easy this K11 I've just had would be to cut, I'm hoping it'll be fairly easy as it's a display piece I'm building up and haven't done one in a long time! 😂

Yeah I'm happy with it, thank you :)

There's the link to the item, from Blacksmithproducts on ebay. Recommend you check the dimensions before you buy. Yes I was never a fan of the Tamiya U bolt, especially in a top chassis like this. I have now combined these pins with an alloy gearbox cover, and the front end is completely sorted now. Have fun with your Top Force :)

Thanks, yes it runs really well now, hopefully that's enough upgrades for now :)

Thanks very much John. Yes it was a bit tricky and time consuming, but very rewarding once it all came together. Looking forward to taking it out in the woods. Cheers mate!

Thanks Charles, I'm using the stock spurr and pinion that came with the kit. The pinion is 21 tooth. Thanks to another channel, (Paul Foulton I think) I've discovered that I can fit a high speed gear set from another Tamiya model. They're currently out of stock in the UK, so standby for another speed run in the spring!!!! Cheers mate. PS cool channel BTW, which parts did you use to make your DF01 sway bars?

@@maninshed5485 hey! 69 and 66T spurs will be rere later this year as a pack of 2. Already booked 2 sets at TTP! Add me on FB!

@@CharlesGarnierRC Yeah man

Cheers mate :) Yes I love my Top Force, and I love to drive it too. Happy new year!!

@@maninshed5485 happy new year bro

Cheers mate!

Hi John, thanks for your comment, and Merry Christmas to you too. I'm also looking forward to more content from your channel. :)

Thank you for your lovely comment, we've got 30mph out of this setup so far, and that was off road with a 17 tooth pinion. I look forward to seeing your speed runs. Merry Christmans!

A up mate. You're not missing much I've got a terrible cold. Cool channel BTW, got a sub from me. Thanks for watching, here's a link to the wheels: www.louiserc.eu/1-16-Scale/Louise-RC-ST-UPHILL-1-16-Truck-Tire-Set-Mounted-Sport-Black-2.2-Wheels-L-T3279SB/

Cheers mate!

Thanks for your lovely comment mate :). Most of our cars are 1/10, so I don't want to go too crazy with the jumps, nice soft landing on the golf course too. Regarding the shocks, I'm tuning them specifically for this kind of driving, so you may want to try something different depending on your terrain etc. The wheels are from Ali Express, and the tyres are from Blacksmith Products - an ebay seller in the UK. Cheers mate!!

Thinner oil and more valves the piston will compress and rebound more freely but thicker oil and less valves it moves about slower..then there is the whole spring rate needed for the piston and oil used..it's mostly trial and error lol

@@philthyco1 Ok thanks, good reason to give it another test :)

Cheers, yeah my lad is really happy with it. 3S next!!!

ive sorted out the gearing now cuz it was only doing about 20mph. just waiting for the metal spur. put the 32 pitch slipper and spur in and it does about 35-40mph on 2s using 57t spur and 17t pinion

Cheers! Good luck with your build. Yeah the upgrades are RCJAZ / JAZRIDER. Deffo get the front hubs and the propshaft. 👍

Use the blue loctite..Rather than red..The PTFE may be similar to blue loctite

Cool front bumper and pin upgrade..I was thinking of putting the rear bumper from the Mant Ray on my Top Force..Score on the Thunder shot!!!

@@philthyco1 Thanks for watching - and listening too. I've tried blue Loctite before and ruined a chassis plate when I had to drill out a screw.

Cheers mate - more to come.

Cheers mate!

Thanks, link to the wheels below. They're for the 1/16 E-REVO, but are perfect for 1/10 buggies. The ones I have are Louise RC, but I think they're the same as Fastrax / Duratrax. Cheers mate! www.louiserc.eu/1-16-Scale/Louise-RC-ST-UPHILL-1-16-Truck-Tire-Set-Mounted-Sport-Black-2.2-Wheels-L-T3279SB/

@@maninshed5485 Sweet thanks man!

Hi mate I used the spur gear that came with the kit. I've just looked in the manual but it does not state the number of teeth. Hope this helps :)

According to Tamiya, stock Spur that comes with the kit is 74T and use pinions from 16t to 21t. 21t pinion comes in the kit. 23t pinion can only be used with the high speed gear set on a 69T Spur. Hope this helps.

Cheers mate, that Zorro is a lot of fun but it keeps breaking. It has an all metal drivetrain but the metal is not as good quality as Tamiya. Yeah I love my Top Force. I'm running it with the stock 23 tooth pinion with a 5200kv 12 turn motor on 2s. I use a program card with it so it was turned all the way up for the speed run, and then turned back to 70% ish for off road. I guess it was doing about 30mph top speed, which is about right for 10th scale off road. Thanks for the sub too.

Cheers mate, the Top Force Evo is an amazing car. The paint job didn't go exactly to plan. I wanted chrome into black, but because I keyed the body with a scotch pad it appeared silver. Lesson learned I guess. Definitely get those front hub upgrades, as I stripped the thread on my plastic ones on it's second run.

Hi, it's a FLYSKY FS-i6. I'm very happy with it. You have to do a bit of surgery to make it work better with cars, I'll try and find a link. It has model memory and loads of adjustments, lost of range, takes 4AA, receivers are about £15. Cheers.

@@maninshed5485 thanks for the reply! I'll definitely go check it out! :)

Cheers mate! have you upgraded your steering yet? if not, pick up a pair of turnbuckles to give it some toe in, and a metal steering bell crank set, makes a big difference to the handling, have fun!

I assume you've adjusted your trim on the remote?

Let's go!

Cheers mate!

Cheers mate! More coming soon I hope...

Thank you J speed!

Here you go mate: www.rcjaz.co.uk/tamiya-ta01df01-aluminum-main-drive-shaft-wjoint-red-set-p-90085271.html

Oh yes!

Cheers mate :)

I used the program card to turn it back down to about 70% for the run on grass. Plus because it's a golf course the grass is kept nice and short. So tbe motor didn't get too hot.

I've never heard of one. The Top Force Evo has ball diffs, so I should imagine that's the upgrade for the Top Force.

@@maninshed5485 They both have ball diffs..The evo just has upgraded ones

@@philthyco1 Thanks

Thanks, it's a practice area of a municipal golf course. We don't go on there if golfers are using it, and I don't let the kids do doughnuts on the green :).
