One ball bearing. They’re just mocking us 😂
🤣🤣🤣 you said it! 🤣🤣🤣
1:36 😆😅😁 "I'm not your buddy, guy!"
I'm not your guy, friend. 🤣🤣🤣
@@poorboysrc 😁😅😆
Thanks for the presentation Fil.
I think this box in box concept might give some dealers headaches as customers start complaining about the missing parts😂😂😂
Hahaha, right? I can imagine the calls coming in already! 😆
I saw one review where the person stopped the review as he thought the parts were all missing out of the box
Ha ha ha, Fil, when you walked into the room, I was sooo scared you'd start singing "it's Christmas every day"... Cool intro the way you did it, though...
Not a chassis I think I'd be interested in (unless there is a speed challenge, of course), but still looking forward to see your build video with it, see how this weird piece of technology comes together, he he...
Oh boy! I don't think there's enough bandwidth for two Christmases every day. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah I'm really hoping this one is a little more stable than the MB-01. I'll have some more info for you guys this weekend. 👊🏼
Thanks for joining us Fil! 🤣🤣🤣
What did I miss??? 😳 😆👊🏼
Nice looking kit, can’t wait to see it run
Thanks dude! I'll have some running footage for you guys by the weekend! 👊🏼
Just ordered two. Also a Tamiya fan boy since middle school with my first 3 Tamiya Cars M03, FF02, and TL01. Now in my mid 30s the collect had expanded to 20 cars. Sadly my TL01 and M03 are long gone. My FF02 was converted to the blue chassis and shelved ever since. 👍🏽👍🏽
It's amazing how one is never enough! That's the beauty of Tamiya cars, they've each got their own unique personalities. 👍🏻
What a polite delivery man, taking off his shoes 😂
Great unboxking vid
I have already seen a couple of unboxing vids from "unknown" channels and they're like wow pre cut decals. So i have to tell them Tamiya chose an old body for this first release of the BT01 chassis hence pre cut decals. Also thats why there were no holes in the light buckets as this was one of Tamiya's first with a light bucket in the mid 90's
You will have great experience building this as you already built that MB01 👍
Aaaaah, I see. So what you're kindly telling me is to not get too excited about Tamiya decals in upcoming kits, as they're likely to be non pre-cut? You've got a masterful way of delivering bad news, sir. Are you some sort of high-functioning negotiator for a living? 🤣🤣🤣
@@poorboysrc Yes i am telling you not to get excited 😂 You can only be excited when Tamiya re release bodies from the mid 90's to around first years of 00's
As for your last question, no i just have a good memory :)
Brilliant work dude!! Pre cut stickers are sweet bud! Looks like a really interesting kit and a cool body. Can’t wait to see the build fella 🙌🏻
Pre cut stickers make Fil a happy man! 😆
Nice first look and sweet to see the decals were already cut.
Yeah those pre cut decals are a life saver! 😁
Hiya Fil and cool to see another new release on your channel! I do think this is more to my taste than it's little brother so I can't wait to see what you think of the finished kit. It should be more stable in RWD setup than the shorter chassis of the MB01. Having said that I did try my TT02 speed challenge car in RWD setup and it was totally undrivable! 😅😅 ...but then it was geared for 45mph! 🤣 Loved the connoisseur tire sniff! Cheers! 😎👌👍
I'm really hoping it's more stable than the MB-01, Mark. I'm considering some upgrades to help improve handling, but it only fair to star off stock, so we're comparing apples to apples. Fingers 🤞 pal! 👊🏼
I think that's a good idea, longer wheelbase should make it more stable, not sure about the the rear wheel drive though. All the leds are different sizes maybe it's so you can drill them out to suit your own fit.😊😊😊😊😊
Good news is, you're right! The longer wheelbase did make it much more stable than it's stubby brother, the MB-01. More on that in tomorrow's video! 👊🏼
Btw you can use Tamiya ts paint or any other lacquer on lexan. All you have to do is either spray the body with a ps clear, or something like duplicolor adheasion promoter
Those methods definitely work well! For the purpose of a video like this, I just keep the highlight tips simple and quick. I get into more of those in depth ways of doing things in the "How-to" series vids. 😉👊🏼
Love that chair Fil! It looks really cool. Wish the stickers that came with the Buggyra Fat Fox truck were precut because threre are so many to cut
It's a very comfy chair, too! Amazon, baby! 🤣
And I feel your pain cutting out all those stickers... My TT02 had 117 I think??? 😳😳😳
Eliminator RC may not be the cheapest place for Tamiya kits but they have a massive inventory and really decent pricing on most things. I buy from them all the time and I am in Ontario.
And what I've found is that if you shop Eliminator-RC, you can use my coupon code for $15 off, then you get free shipping. So if I compare to Zoom Room or Chris's House, they're still a lot cheaper. 👍🏻
@poorboysrc I think it depends on the Tamiya kit. The Zoom Room is typically better priced but not in all cases. The MB-01 is $30 less at the Zoom Room, even with the $15 coupon for example but theu don't have the Supra kit in stock.
Don't get me wrong, Eliminator RC is one of my favourite stores...I have an order in the mail currently. I like to spread the retail love around to smaller and local hobby retailers when possible. We cannot afford to lose any more brick and morter stores!
@@canuckchuck8836 I agree 100% pal! The brick and mortar hobby shops made this hobby what it is today. There's still no better feeling than walking into one and seeing all the awesome products available (even if it's all Traxsucks garbage these days! 😆).
I make sure to order from these great Canadian retailers as much as possible. Easily 90% of my stuff comes from them, but occasionally ebay, amain, or RC Mart to the rescue.
I grew up in Ontario (in BC now), and next time I'm there I need to visit Chris's House. I have family in Hamilton that I can visit.
Gonna be popular…looks Supra cool.
My sons 13!yr old friends love supras….idk if it’s a fast and furious thing….i only know what’s cool in RC crawling lol….and behind the ball on that too!
🤣🤣
Those tires looks nice.
Supra cool, I see what you did there... 🤣🤣🤣👊🏼
Great adjustability. And it's nice to see a new on-road chassi. TT-02 is good but get a little repetitive to build if you want different models 🙂 Maybe this years speedrun chassi?
It could be this year's speed run chassis! I can't say just yet, we'll have to get some testing done on it and see if it's worthy of that position. 😉
Can’t wait to see it done… awesome video as usual Fil!🤜🤛
Thanks for watching, my man! 👊🏼
Looks like a great chassis 👍
So far, so good. I'm praying it's not as sloppy as the MB-01! 😳
nice one mate. interesting motor configurations to be had . 😊👍
Thanks Dom. Yeah this is a unique chassis, no doubt about it. It's quite a performer, though! More on that in tomorrow's video. 😉👊🏼
Interesting Brand New
Thanks for watching!
Loving this kit
She's a beauty! 🤩
Looking forward to getting one...I've got some pretty cool plans for it and nice that you can set this up sorta realistically? Not really but close I suppose. If the motor was dead centre at the front it would feel more like the real car but it is what it is. Guess we'll see how it performs.
It performs really well, actually! I was quite surprised, as it's got all the slop of the MB-01. I'll have another video for you guys in a day or so. 👊🏼
AWESOME VID!
Thanks brother! 👊🏼
Looks great. Enjoy. It’s one I’m thinking about
Right on, hopefully my upcoming video series on it will help you with your purchase decision. 😀
Can’t wait
Great video Fil 👌
Thanks brother! Appreciate you watching and commenting! 👊🏼
Mine is in the mail and should be with me in a few days
Right on! Plans for the motor? Staying stock, orrrrr????
Good stuff
Thanks for watching! 👊🏼
Nice one Fil, look forward to the build and running videos.
Thanks brother! I built this one off camera. I just needed a little "Tamiya Therapy", lol! But I've got a full video series planned for this bad boy! 🍻
@@poorboysrc Nice to see for once the pre cut decals! I wish the decals on the Abarth 131 were pre cut 😂
@@TonyGardnerRC oh man, I feel your pain dude! The worst I've had yet was my TT02 with the Nissan Motul Autech body. 117 decals I think??? NOT ONE WAS PRE CUT!!!! -- That's how divorces happen! 🤣
@@poorboysrc Damn, that's not good! I wont be doing another rally car for a while I think. Should be done tomorrow though all being well and I'll post the results on the FB group 👍
@@TonyGardnerRC sounds good bro! 👍🏻
Good presentation 🤩Nice Car with a nice chassi. I asked me if you can drive this car with two motors. Dual Power 😁 I am only dreaming 😂😂😂 Best regards. Markus 👋
It would take a lot of creative cutting, 3D printing and design to make a dual motor setup work, but I'm sure someone out there is probably working on it right now. 😆
I hope you choose the front-mounted rear wheel drive motor setup instead of the one they show generally for this car but it would be in front motored rear wheel drive instead of mid rear rwd.
I'm working on some setups and a video as we speak. I'll have more info for you tomorrow! 👊🏼
It would be cool if you came by to Frank's live today.
Sorry pal, I can't make it tonight. I've got a lot on my plate these days. Appreciate the invite though! 👊🏼
Sweet!!!!!!
My man! Shocker 4 life! 🤟
@@poorboysrc 🖖 going hard with the "Spocker!" Live long and spocker.
@@Paul__FC Live long and spocker!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi Mario.... I, mean Fil! 😂
Great unboxing Sir.
Osaka blend low profile rubber all good..... ONE lonely bearing not so good! 🤷♂️
Interesting looking kit matey, Tamiya are definitely trying some new things going forward.
One thing I don't like so much is plastic drive shafts and cups..... back in our day these were always metal, maybe I'm just set in my ways and need to give plastic a chance? 🤔
Be interesting to see this going together, and taken out for its first run..... hope that silver can doesn't meet the same smouldering fate as the last one! 🔥 😂
Nice looking body shell, have you decided what colour you are going with yet?
Speaking of your love for logos, just working on project 'tube box' as we speak..... Your channel logo pretty much takes up the entire rear end of the lunchbox shell, its as if it was designed to go on those rear doors buddy! 👌
Just need to find somewhere to spray now..... as its still raining every day here in this awful United Kingdom! ☔
Hope all well your end matey!
👍 👍 👍
Yeah there's definitely a lot of sloppy plastic on this chassis, much like the smaller brother, the MB-01. I'm hoping the longer wheelbase makes it a little more stable in the RWD configuration. Fingers crossed this one doesn't go up in flames! 😆
Can't wait to see the "Tube Box!" And I feel your pain, bro. Lots of cold rainy days here, too. Don't tell the wife I've been painting in the house! 🤫😆
Loveing this kit, could this be the speed run chassis 🤔 time will tell 😁 im very close to getting this kit. I just love the body set. And the chassis looks interesting aswell. I’ll have to get saving as i didnt set out on buying loads of kits this year 😂
It might be the next speed run car... Hahaha... I did some testing with it and I'm actually quite impressed! I'll have more info for you in a day or so. Just catching up on editing now. 🍻
Nice walk through of what's in the box! I am waiting for mine to get shipped! I am curious if it is going to run better than the smaller MB01 or is it going to have some of the same issues...
I'm really hoping it tracks straighter than the MB01! The longer wheelbase will definitely help. Fingers are crossed!
I'm super curious about the front motor, RWD setup. It makes NO sense, but just watch it handle like a 4WD touring car! Lol! 😆
Hi Addam, I hope you didn't order it from Tower Hobbies! You will be waiting a LONG time. If you get it at all ! Lol
@@roloreoandy9867 No!!! TH is not even a consideration for me! I ordered it from Amain and they just got their shipment in so it will should be shipping in the next couple days.
I will assume the BT suspension arms will fit the MB to give a wider track.
I haven't tried it, but I don't see why they wouldn't. They're engineered the same way, and fit together the same way. I'm sure it'll work! 😉
Oooh the Osaka blend!!! Not to be confused with the Okinawa Rally block blend. So I wonder how this one will handle compared to it's little brother? Cheers!
Hahaha, a fellow connoisseur of tire aromas, finally! Haha! 👊🏼
My gut says it's going to be a bigger (and just as sloppy) MB-01. But time will tell! 😳
@@poorboysrc that's what she said!! cheers bud.
if i cant get the mk4 supra that isnt $500,000 than ill just have this lol
It's all about the budget, isn't it? 🤣
Precut decals? I never thought hell could freeze over. I wonder what kits will have this now.
He'll hath frozen over, Joe! Buy a lotto ticket today bud! 🤣🤣🤣
I might just buy the kit so i can say i was alive to touch a precut tamiya decal LOL @@poorboysrc
Rising fighter does
If you're going to supply a motor, why not toss an esc in the box as well? Are fewer Tamiya kits coming with esc's now? Kinda seems that way.
Drives me nuts dude! I see in the UK and China their kits seem to come with esc's 90% of the time. Here in Canada, it's more like 50/50 these days. 🤬
I wonder if you will go FWD before you build. Looks like the MB01 slop from the design as it looks the same with the links. Result die-cut decals. The annoying thing with this new kit, it costs more than the TT02 and that's 4WD. The TT02 start from £50 cheaper so why the price for 2WD and the MB01 the 4WD series are less.
That's a really good point, I hadn't thought of that! I suppose being that it's new, Tamiya is hoping to cash in on some of the excitement of a new release.
I'm still not sure on how I'll configure this one. I might do an entire video series comparing all 3 configurations. 🤔
@@poorboysrc Will be interesting a test between all 3 versions and against a TT02 maybe. Price wise I do not know but not like the Squash Van I had to have that one 🙂
@@BasBoyRC oh yeah! The Squash Van is SO awesome! 👌
I wish it have option to make it 4WD too..
I know, right? It looks so tempting... Just slap another diff in there, some dogbones, a little prop shaft, and BAM! 4WD! 😉🤣
@@poorboysrc Actually, I saw some guy transformed it to 4WD.
Is this officially released? I preordered ages ago but still haven’t received it
It is indeed, I paid retail for mine from Eliminator-RC. Tamiya releases their kits in an odd order. Sometimes USA first, then Asia next, then UK, then Canada... etc... We just happened to get this one pretty quick. 👍🏻
Will you go front or rear wheel drive with this one. Although I think that 4wd is still best.😊😮😊
I think I'm gonna start in RWD, then test out all 3 configurations, and see which is best. Hopefully the longer wheelbase makes it more stable! 🙏
Way to go, hope it's good.
Is that a 10 second car or a 10 minute car lol
10 minutes and very shaky. 🤣🤣🤣
Is it going to be the fast & furious Supra bro ?
It miiiiight be.... 😉😉😉
Hmmm... I wonder?
Hahahaha, it's too early to wonder! 🤣👊🏼
This is by far the worst Tamiya kit I've ever built. Worst handling I own as well. Really disappointing :(.
Yeah the handling leaves a lot to be desired. I'm working on cleaning up the slop to help improve this. If successful, I'll have a video on it for you guys. 👊🏼
