any link for getting the upgrade parts please
It was a while ago but it looks like they are still available here: www.rcjaz.co.uk/spares-tamiya-ta01-ta02-t-48_103_556.html?page=2
That looks suspiciously like a MKI shell 🧐🤔
Mk1 Escort by any chance?
Without a shadow of a doubt 👍🏻
@@SANDSCORCHER And put it on the wrong chassis too 🤔
What kv is the motor please?
Hello friend, how are you? I saw your review and I'm thinking of buying this plasma edge ii (my idea is to drive it at 25-30 mph, max) do you think I can clear the gears and diffs quickly? Are there metal engraving updates? (differential, spur gear) Regards😊
Hello friend, wonderful video! I am going to buy a tamiya plasma edge ii (what is it like to get spare parts?) in fact, the important spare parts are what has led me the most to buy this car, is it easy to get them? greetings
Legend, appreciate this video as its been a very long time since I worked on RC shells, just had a Kamtec Nissan Micra K11 delivered and can't wait to get it looking sweet now! Was clueless where to start with the material so big help mate, thank you! Let's hope I don't mess this up!
Have you cut out your Micra shell yet? And if so, how's it looking?
Wheel looks so good! Can you give an information about that?
👍🏽 👍🏽
Good job. A friend of mine has a stock one of these. Wanna upgrade to brushless. Which setup are u running + maybe some other parts you suggest upgrading
You sure the GPS was calibrated right? This seems A lot faster then 31mph.
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
top!!!!!!!
Cheers mate 👍
That is one fine looking setup sir! Wow!
Thanks very much mate👍 More upgrades soon 🙂
Nice man and good bmx track you have to run on ... subbed ya 👍🏻
Cheers mate! Subbed👍
@@maninshed5485 thanks man ... keep bashing 🙂👍🏻
1,000 views!!! Cheers guys❤️👍
Beautiful...
Cheers mate!
You could have just used a pair of the small curved lexan scissors for this job. These Kamtec shells are only about 1mm thick but they certainly do take a hammering even if you're not using them as banger racing bodyshells 👍
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! 😂
Top 🔝
Yeah I'm happy with it, thank you :)
Can you tell me where you got those pins to replace the U bar with please? They look so much tidier and im sure will do a better job as they are no doubt much better quality and machined better than the U bar. Great Vid 👍My TFE on the way and can’t wait! 😀 such an awesome looking chassis.
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250518153186
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 :)
Looks like a beast! Great how far you can take this chassis
Thanks, yes it runs really well now, hopefully that's enough upgrades for now :)
Hi there, looking good and there is lots of detail to absorb. Your doing a cracking job, referencing back to WPL’s web guides and the manual being a touch vague. All the best to you and the family in 2022. 😉😊😉
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!
Cool! Which spur and pinion do you have?
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
This buggy is very good(and very nice😉)
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 there, what a very highly upgraded TT-02 buggy chassis. Lots of time, money, effort and love has been spent on making that a highly tuned performer. Maybe a new rear wing for the cosmetics. But very good. 30mph off road speed is impressive. Be interested in the on road top speed, I’ll stay tuned. Merry Christmas and a happy new year. 😊😉😊
Hi John, thanks for your comment, and Merry Christmas to you too. I'm also looking forward to more content from your channel. :)
That was really cool to watch! Funny enough mine is upgraded almost as much, but I've done different parts. In the beginning I didn't like my TT-02B much, but as I changed bits here and there it became really quite nice. I think mine is mostly on-road by now... Yeah, those Louise wheels are great, I got a few of them, too, they're also awesome on Rwd buggies. Yeah, was nice hearing your opinion on this car, I'll be soaking in as much knowledge as I can as I prepare for summer, take mine for some more speedrun attempts... And Merry Christmas, very soon, too!
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!
Nice i like it, what wheels and tyres are they? sorry my volume has stopped working so can't hear what you are saying lol.
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/
Awesome looking rig, Great job.
Cheers mate!
👍🏽 👍🏽
That was really nice to see! And your result seems great, I guess the golf course will tell you if you tuned it right, ha ha! Those jumps in the beginning, perfect for Tamiya 10th scale, gets some air but nothing crazy! This was really useful for me, I'll start building my second Top Force next year, I'm still undecided how to do the shocks, my brain is working overtime, so watching this helps! I love those wheels and tyres, are they the JC Racing big block ones? I just ordered two sets of those, I totally fell for them when I saw them on the website, haven't received them yet...
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!!

Great family fun!!!!
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 :)
I got one of these the other day..The 3s version..Yours rips good
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
That was nice to watch! I'll be building my second Top Force next year, from scratch, so I think I will skip that u-pin. I did the same on a G6-01 recently, I used the pin screws from a DT-03, fit really nicely, too. Your car looks great with the red aluminium, is it from RCJaz?
Cheers! Good luck with your build. Yeah the upgrades are RCJAZ / JAZRIDER. Deffo get the front hubs and the propshaft. 👍
Very nice build!
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.
Cool rc
Cheers mate!
Very nice..What tires are those?
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!
quick question mate,what size spur gear did you use with the 23 t pinion pls
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.
Ha ha, the torque twist on that Zorro... The Top Force is awesome! I'm aiming for something like 50km/h, so probably 5-10 mph slower than yours, but it's a good fun speed. It looks great when jumping, definitely that chrome looks better than if it was just plain silver.
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.
That was a nice video with your nice Top Force build! I really do like the paint job, I will be doing similar but reversed, so it's black in front. And nice build, too. I'm in the process of buying in parts for a build, will be my second Top Force, so this was really useful for me. I also subscribed to see more of your stuff.
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.
Great video. May I know what stick transmitter are you using? I'm looking for a good stick transmitter to buy but there's not many choices available. Cheers!
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! :)
Well done 👍 I wish I could get my one to run straight instead of pulling to the right under acceleration??? Thanks for your upload 🙏
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?

Here you go mate: www.rcjaz.co.uk/tamiya-ta01df01-aluminum-main-drive-shaft-wjoint-red-set-p-90085271.html
Carbon parts are great.
Oh yes!
That's great speed. good
Cheers mate :)
Nice. Did you check motor temps during the ran in the grass?
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.
Do you know if there's an oil filled aftermarket diff option for the Top Force? I looked online and didn't find anything.
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
What an awesome place to run your cars! Cheers mate :)
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 :).
