Think I mentioned in a previous vid that the Sanwa MX6 is terrible. Every person who has used it at my local clubs have all suffered brown outs with this radio. I contacted Schumacher as the UK distributor and they admitted it was an entry level radio and is not designed for racing. I now only use mine with my lunchbox/mad bull bashing, as I do not want to injure a marshal when the car browns out with no steering full chat at the end of the straight. (it happened, but thankfully no injury). Myself and others got the Noble NB4 and the difference is night and day. Every racer has massively improved since binning the MX6 as their car is more responsive and does not act oddly in every race....causing random crashes.
Second this, I moved over to an MT44 and no such issue, considering the MX6 is £70 or so and comes with a receiver you can tell its just as cheap and nasty as the ones in most RTR kits. Just not good enough for racing. The nature of racing means there's no room for 'budget' control gear imo.
I completely agree (sorry Carl) with you. I persevered with my mx-6 for the best part of 2 years! The brown outs were terrible and yes I crashed full speed into the barrier at the end of a long straight in a final of course! That was the last straw for me and I moved on to the Sanwa MT-5....Amazing bit of kit that.
I used to run the MX6, found it also lost signal/brown outs, however this was lessened slightly but changing batteries very very often, making sure the voltage stayed high. Now running the Noble NB4 and am loving it, would recommend to everyone, build quality is just so much nicer than a lot of the 'higher end' radios(was able to hold a KoPropo EX-2 and that felt cheap despite being extremely expensive.). Carl, if you want to have a go/feel the Noble NB4 come and speak to the Frontie guys at Stevenage Indoor Raceway, most of us run them and will be more than happy to let you have a go :) Casey
Mannnnnn, that truck looked so much more consistent on the track. It also looked waaaaaaaaay happier in the corners. Thanks for keeping on with the truck stuff, not enough of it around. Nice vid, cheers.
I’ve got no idea 🤷♂️ what most of the stuff on this channel means, it always amazes me how these cars do what they do, 25 years ago when I had rc cars you were lucky to get them to go in a straight line and not fall apart. This channel is like smith and jones meets RC and is definitely different to the motorbike Chanel’s I watch, I wonder if a RC car could keep up with lamb chops H2 or TeapotOne beast
I sold my tt02 because they don’t run the class in Florida, and I needed a faster chassis, so I traded it for an express xq1s. Now I have five setups, one of which is still a Tamiya, but it’s the tyrell p34 six wheeler, I also have a nitro powered yokomo gt4, as well as my front wheel drive which is sadly out of commission for now, and the two I run are both awd, one being usgt and one being 17.5t. I’m happy that I’ve actually gotten better with the 17.5 than usgt because it’s a more competitive class. Nonetheless, the tt01 in my opinion, seeing it run, it was very much better than my little tt02.
Hey fella's love the channel... Just wondering any videos coming of outside running on the grass with the Muraco etc? Was hoping with you guys being in summer some popalong vids would be coming.
Lowered it a bit Reduced the steering end points Superglued the tyres even further round Down geared to 24/58 Need to do shock mod and the car will be on point
I think the TT01 is better stock out of the box than TT02, just because the tt01 "E" upgrade sprue makes the steering a lot better. Once upgraded, the TT02 should pull ahead. The Tt01 truck seemed to go on rails for you, so I guess you had the front tires glued nicely etc. :D Pity you got tangled up in traffic (that white truck needed to lower its steering rate a lot), the A final woulda been fun to see, the B-final looked like pure domination. Love seeing the trucks scurry about on the track. :D Cheers
hello thank you for your very informative channel. I hesitate to take an M Tamiya chassis, I would like to know what will be the favorable result for the TT 02?
Hi. Hope you are doing well. On one of your videos I saw a car suspended with its wheels off and had orange camber adjusters mounted to each hub…all 4 wheels. I can’t find seem to find the video but was wondering where I can pick up this set. Thanks!
Quick question, I've had to re vert to the tamiya plastic pretend disc wheel hex's as the alloy ones start to bind when nut done up, is this an issue, what do you guys use+ what size?? Cheers

Looking forward to testing it out

We have one one or 2 in the making but the weather has been naff …
@@PopalongRC Sorry to hear that.. As an Aussie watching the ashes that weather saved our backside that's for sure! 😂
Hahahaha
What did you to the truck to make it better ?
Lowered it a bit
Reduced the steering end points
Superglued the tyres even further round
Down geared to 24/58
Need to do shock mod and the car will be on point

Hahahahaha cheer bud

For racing I guess it depend what classes are raced locally.
Good night racing at Stevenage mate. Where is the popalong GP ?
Gatwick raceway … info is on Facebook
I didn't know that they put these trucks on the tt02 also.
Tamiya don’t but I did and others do
that was some nice neat and clean driving in this video, how are you getting on with the sanwa?
Not run it yet as too busy with truck and buggy.. will be running it soon

Not one we’ve experienced… on tt02 Carl is running the disc ones mark put the wide ones on the rear wheels
Can I ask what oil or grease do you run in your Tt-01 for carpet.
Cheers
Tamiya AW grease in the front diff only👍
@@PopalongRC cheers do you pack loads in ?
Yes, but it still needs very stiff diff action,
Obviously.
Not vid related. Are you old boys racing at wlrc this weekend?
Not this week
Hope to Popalong soon though
