I bought the xv-02 and I'm putting a Trinity Mod XF-RevTech 5.5 in it. I race a Team Losi 22-x4 with a 7.0 mod Phenom and anything more that a 13.5 turn motor is too slow for me. The terrain I’m running on will be hilly and rough, so a mod motor will provide the extra power as needed. It's going to be a blast running a rally car!
Great video. Informative, to the point. Good ideas/tips. Nice cars. I’ve got: XV01 w/ Lancia Delta, TB01 w/ Lancer EVO VI, DF03RA w/ Toyota Celica. I keep the motors either stock or experiment with sport tuned and torque tuned. Never brushless in tamiyas for me. Subbed.
Hi. What upgrades are unnecessary say for performance sake? You mentioned upgrades causing tweak several times during a crash. Does that mean the plastic parts are actually better in this instance?
Hi. Nice video, builds and cars. Can you please provide more info on the traxxas parts and also heat sink on the shafts and part numbers for the aluminium upgrades? Thanks.
I have no reference point at the moment unfortunately Jack as the xv01 is the very first rally car I have ever driven unfortunately. But compared to touring cars all I can say is that the xvo1 is very tail happy yet very controllable once the rear comes out and it's what has got me hooked on rc rally driving now.
It’s a great chassis but for me was a horrible build. I really wish Tamiya would update themselves and make some small changes. The instruction manuals are from 1985, and could be updated and in colour. The way they package parts is just ridiculous. Parts bagged with other parts from different steps, it was frankly just frustrating searching all the time and it literally made no sense. Phillips screws in a kit that cost $400 Canadian. Tie rods are not pre-threaded and are dreadful on the fingers. If you happened to buy the Lancia body and managed to get the fender decals on without wrinkles or bends/cracks then consider yourself extremely talented and lucky. The decals are just a nightmare. I tried to provide feedback to Tamiya (Head Office Japan) but all they do is refer you to a Tamiya “Agent “ which for me was a small distribution center in Canada called Borgfeldt which is some mom and pop shop of 20 people. Borgfeldt was completely useless.

Great looking cars. Thinking of picking up a XV-01 myself. These look great.
You will love them mate. Absolutely great fun and reliable enough.

I’d be interested to know more about the xv01 I have one I never ran along side my tb01 and I’d love to set them up correctly
