Tamiya Lancia TT-02 VS XV-01 Speed Test + Handling Test Run
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2018
- Rob and I decided to do a few tests with our Tamiya Lancia Delta Integrale rally cars - a top speed run followed by other handling tests:
Acceleraton comparison
180 degree turn at full speed, and full steering lock
Suspension test on a rough gravel path
Turning circle test (how tight they will turn on full-lock)
The cars are standard, except the TT-02 has a full metal bearing upgrade, which have affected the top speed run slightly.
The tests are very short, but the results verify what we have found during extensive runs together, and I think they are very representative of each car's performance.
Both cars are running on 7.2v NiMh batteries.
Feel free to comment about your ideas/feelings of this little test!
Thanks for watching and I hope to see you soon!
Many thanks to Rob Brennan, my lifelong friend, for his involvement and support with this video! Visit his excellent channel here:

What an excellent format! I have watched this and watched many other test/reviews and nothing is as illuminating and clear as the way you filmed and presented this! I seriously think that format should be a regular feature when people test cars. The turning tests, the suspension test, the turning circle test and even a straight forward speed test reveals so much about each chassis. Made it so easy for newbies to understand the different capabilities of different chassis! Thanks. Wonderful test!
Thank you very much, superchargerone! That is fantastic feedback and very nice to hear! I am really pleased you liked the format. I was really trying to show the differences between the 2 chassis, so people can decide if they think the XV-01 is worth twice the price of a TT-02. They are both great cars, but you definitely get what you pay for. But then, with a few carefully selected hop-ups, the TT-02 can perform so much better than stock, and still come in a well under the price of a XV-01. Many thanks again, I appreciate your comment very much. :-)
I like this video dudes. It was really good to see the cars side by side in comparisons. Really good idea for a video and well edited as usual. 👍👍👍
Thanks very much, Tibs! Glad you liked it, and it was a good laugh to do anyway - at least Rob and me enjoyed making it! :))
Thank you for taking the time to do this, and great pictures, cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it, David! I appreciate you taking the time to write a nice comment - Cheers to you too! :))
Really enjoyed this series of videos. Thanks for sharing!
I really appreciate the comments, Mike. Well, it was a lot of fun making this series, none of it is too scientific, but it gives a flavour of what each car is like (I hope!). I will make a run video of the XV-01 vs TT-02 Type-S when I get the chance, I think that will be much closer! Thanks again and I hope you have a great weekend coming up! :-)
Good evening Mark. Regardless of which Lancia is better or worse, I just enjoyed your Video just again.Especially the Shots like the Suspension works. Stunning!! Really realy great.The full Speed Cornering Test in Slo mo looks so awesome.Your Viedeo shows impressively how wonderful our Hobby is.I wish you a nice and relaxing Weekend.
Hi there Harry! I really like your comments - your words are from a true RC fan, I agree that it doesn't really matter which is best - they are both lovely cars and great fun to play with! So I am pleased that you just enjoyed the show! I too find the slo-mo shots very interesting because you can see things in detail that are invisible at normal speeds. Yes, this sure is a fantastic hobby - glad I can share it with you! As always, I wish you a great weekend too! :))
Reallly handy. This has just answered my questions of which rally chassis to go for. 👍🏻
Nice one, Tim! If you can afford the cost of the XV, it's a no-brainer! 😎👍
Good job on the tests👍you could definitely tell the difference between the two✌
Thanks RC VOODOO my friend! Yeah, the difference is clear, but things will soon change as we upgrade the TT-02! Thanks for watching man! :-)
A fairly interesting test there mark, and very nice demonstration video XV-01 for the win!!! nice video Mark...
Thanks Ady!!! Yes, it was fairly interesting! Glad you liked the comparison, the XV is a far more expensive car, as you know - if it wasn't a little bit better I would be asking for my money back! I think Tamiya have some cool higher spec models - I hope more people will give them a go despite the high price-tag, it's worth it! Thanks for the support my friend! :))
what a great comparsion test!
Thank you so much for the great comment! Much appreciated! :-)
Great video! I really like all the different types of comparisons. Same shot in slow mo and normal speed plus for each car. My only complaint is that after a bit it was hard to tell which car was which. But well done.
Hi there and thanks for the great feedback. Oh yes. it can get difficult to tell these two apart which creates a big problem if we are racing them together! Cheers! 😎👌👍
I’ve just watch all the videos you made comparing the two. Brilliant and very helpful. I was tempted with the XV01 due to a different chassis to build but the cost put me off - seeing how much better it is in stock form (and quieter) has made me decide to get the XV01. Thank you.
Hello! Great to hear that the video was of some help! Music to my ears. I know what you mean about the cost, but at the end of the day, the XV01 is such a more capable chassis and is beautifully designed with quality components throughout. Definitely smoother and quieter! Thanks for the great comment, much appreciated!
@@MarkBryanRC I’ve subscribed to your channel, looking forward to watching some of your other videos too 👍
@@woorusty That's great news! Thanks very much, appreciated! Hope you enjoy some of the other stuff I get up to! 👍
Very very well made video. Excellent job guy's.
Thank you very much!
Hi Mark I keep coming back to your videos, and enjoy them every time 👍😄. And the music theme.. it is so good. Perfect match for your channel I say 👍😉
Many thanks, Michael! I'm so pleased to hear that you enjoy the channel. Oh yes, I really enjoy that retro music theme, so glad I found it in the TH-cam music library! All the best to you, my friend! :O)
@@MarkBryanRC you too my friend. Have a great sunday 👍😉
Great video mark great speed run, looks well faster than the Gps shows, nice side by side running video Mark 👍😝👍
Cheers Tony! Thanks for the nice comment - yeah, if you drive past the camera close-up, even 10mph looks fast! TBH, they don't feel that slow to drive - still a lot of FUN! :))
@@MarkBryanRC , they look great fun Mark 😜😝
They look so much faster than that, I was surprised to see 14mph.
Good video!
Thanks Joe - yeah, with the low mounted camera and a close drive-by, the cars do look a lot faster. But I must say, when these cars are run off road as they are meant to be, 14mph feels fast enough to me. That's still 140mph scale speed! All the best from Mark... :)
Thanks, great video!
Thank you, I really appreciate the comment my friend! :)
Good comparison. Another top vid.
Many thanks, Ben! Well, for the money you pay for each kit, they are both actually pretty good, although I wish Tamiya would ditch those springs with no shocks and include oil dampers in every kit! :)
Love it wen you do these videos 👍
Much appreciated, my friend Kirk :)
Mark thank you for your videos.
Love em bro.
I have a problem, my drive has gone.
Sorry to hear that! Was it the TT02 or the XV01? It might just be a simple fix, like the pinion coming loose. Thanks for the kind words, I'm really happy that you like the videos! Cheers!
Great vid. Own both and love them both. Just according to your budget.
I couldn't agree more, Jason! They are both fantastic Tamiyas, and as you say, it depends on how much money you have to spend on an RC car- the TT-02 is a great kit, and you would not be disappointed if you got one - especially if you fit the CVA shocks! Thanks for the great comment, much appreciated! :-)
lovely stuff!
Many thanks, Marko! Yes, these Tamiyas are excellent cars for sure! Best wishes from Mark... :O)
Absolutely amazing video. Such a good job. Very interesting. I must say that I would love to have them both ☺️ (Apart from the friction shocks ... I’m sure Rob will fix that now when the stock tests are over). But great test. Yeah, I don’t mind oversteer as long as it doesn’t spin around. Oversteer is half the fun ☺️ Ohhh, but that dreaded understeer... I was surprised at the TT-02’s top speed (many many thanks for converting it into kph), but maybe it’s the same spur and pinion as the TT-02B. That would make sense, the buggy going a little faster because of the bigger wheel-gearing. But the speed and acceleration is not bad for off roading. Hmmm. Now I want a TT-02 and an XV-01 even more. Great video.
Hi Mikael. Shocks now changed. As for the gears, the spur is 70T and the pinion is 19T steel (surprising, a steel pinion stock from Tamiya). I must admit I was the same until filming Mark build his XV and the sore and blistered fingers he ended up with.
I am so pleased with your comment, Mikael! Glad you want one of each - Rob and I are lucky in that we can swap and drive each others cars! Both are a real blast to drive, even at these relatively low speeds, that's Tamiya for you! I think some of the TT-02's understeer is exaggerated by the more limited steering lock, and the loss of grip due to the bouncy suspension. But all this is about to change as you may have seen by Rob's comment. He plans to upgrade the TT and we will have some more little tests. Even with quite a few goodies thrown at the TT, it should still cost less than the XV - I think that will be even more interesting. Thanks for watching and for leaving a fantastic comment! :-)
Grazie a te del bel video !!!...w la Lancia Delta Integrale !!!
Thank you again Daniele - so pleased that you liked this video my friend - Grazie! :))
Nice comparison
Thanks, glad you liked it - best wishes!
great test
Hi kazacorpora - thank you for the kind words! It's not a scientific test, but I think it gives a good idea as to how the cars compare, and I'm very pleased that you enjoyed it - great feedback - Thanks! :-)
Those things are so freakin cool. I love the Delta.
Agreed! The Delta is a timeless classic for sure! 😎👌👍
Nice bit of driving there Mark cool video 👍👍👍
Thanks man, nice of you to pop over to my channel for a browse! I'm really happy with your great comments, ta very much! As for the driving, well, I cut out all of the bad bits =)

Thank you so much, Daniele! :-)
Both are great vehicles.🤘😎
Well said RC Basher Boi! They are two fantastic Tamiyas for sure! :))
Wow, I love class b. This is amazing !
Thanks for the comment, Hobby Media! The Lancia's are very cool, aren't they? :)
@@MarkBryanRC Indeed my friend! I love the metro 6r4, and I would loveee to find a class b Audi s1.
Ahh - the Metro 6R4! Now there is a real rally car! Hope you find a S1 body, maybe Killerbodies do them? Not sure. All the best my friend. :)

New subscriber here buddy I've just got lc racings version of the lancia delta awesome rally cars really enjoyed this bud
Awesome thank you! I must take a look at the LC Racing version of the Delta! All the best from Mark.. :)
@@MarkBryanRC yeah there definitely worth it m8 ive got a video of mine on my channel ill be doing a more in depth video but waiting on new tyres to arrive all the best to you also buddy
Fantastic video Mark! I love those tests, especially the suspension slow motion view! Lovely. Stock TT02 shocks? Get rid of them :)
Many thanks, Charlie! We had a great day filming this one in the sunshine, we had a lot of fun off-camera just goofing around with the Lancias! Yeah, I was pleased at how the slo-mo came out, it showed off the suspension working better than I expected. As for the shocks - they are already in the bin - Rob was cursing me for asking him to keep the TT standard so that we could make this video!
Have a good weekend! :-)
Nice cars and good Speed test... Like + Abo for you.... 👍🏼
Thank you very much RCBroiler - I really appreciate it! :))
Bonjour mon ami
Très jolie modèle magnifique vidéo 👍
Hello my friend
Very nice models and good job
Congratulations
I am subscribed of France 🇫🇷👍
Thank you Jean Mark of France! Very nice comment mon ami - much appreciated! :))
I think that from the Tamiya product range the TT-02 is the street race car, and the XV-01 is the rally race car. That could explain the difference. They both the legend.
Hi, Cheng Lee - I agree with your comment, both of these Tamiyas are legends. I love both of them, for different reasons. The XV01 has the advantage that it is also a great street race car, too. But then it is much more expensive. The TT02 is awesome value for money. I appreciate your comment very much. :-)
very interessting comparisson
Cheers Rooster RC - much appreciated, glad you found it interesting! : )
Excellent video. I’m off to buy a XV-01!
Hi Thomas, good choice, the XV01 is an awesome rally chassis! Have fun!
Great comparison vid. I'm surprised by how different the results are.
Thanks for the comments, Gavin! Well, it's not really a fair test, comparing a £100 (ish) to a £200 (ish) Tamiya, but we thought it would be interesting to see if the more expensive chassis really was worth the money! And now my friend is upgrading his TT02 while my XV01 stays stock, to see if the performance gap can be closed by spending a little cash on hop-ups. We have yet to make the third "VS" video now the TT02 is really hopped up, but it should be interesting! Thanks for watching! :-)
Cool little on roaders
Thanks for the comment, Tom! Yeah, they are a blast to run on tarmac - even more fun on a bit of dirt or gravel though - but nothing too rough! :))
Hiya Mark. Just enjoying this one again. I'd forgotten how good it is. I just started building my XV-01 Lancia and I'm at the point of putting the motor in and am not sure whether to go brushless or not. Might build it brushed to begin with. Also I have been revisiting your build guide on this as I've already messed up a few times. Really I need to study the instructions better. Great kit though. Anyway, how are you getting on with the dreaded virus? Hope you are ok. A friend of ours who was at our new years eve party tested positive the next day. The other guests including me have tested negative so far. It seems to be everywhere at the moment. Hopefully not as serious as previous variants. Wishing you well mate 🙂
Hi Pete. Sorry I missed this one - just replied to your email, too! I'd go brushed if I were you, but then it'll be way too slow for you!
Funny how it took you a while to test positive, this really is a sneaky little virus, ain't it. Hope all is good with you, take it easy my friend. :)
I love the XV01 👍 it handles so well.
You got that right, Dom! Gotta be at the top of my rally car choices, for sure! 😁👍
Thanks for the good video, I bought a Lancia Delta on a TT-01 chassis. I would like to improve the steering, do you have a tip for me?
Hi - we haven't run the TT-01 yet, so not sure if we need to mod it - but I would guess the easiest mod would be to change the bushings to metal bearings and change the steering arms to adjustable turnbuckles so you can adjust the toe-in or toe-out. :)
😉👍Nice tests...Oil shocks on the TT02 and tune it and the XV-01 will never catch it!
Thanks Steve - yeah, the oil shocks are now fitted to Rob's TT and he is getting it ready to try and thrash me next time out! Cheers for the fantastic support as usual, I really appreciate it mate! :))
So basically upgrade one and not the other and the upgraded one is better?
Nice duo
WOW! That was fast - FIRST - how do you do it? Thanks for the comment dude! :))
@@MarkBryanRC my name is patapouf... Rc patapouf
Yes, I know!
I just used Google translate, it says "patapouf" = "chubby" :))
@@MarkBryanRC me too i tried it and chubby want to say " joufflu " in french 😂
Hi Mark. Very interesting and useful comparison of these kits. I think that the friction shocks have a lot to answer for and should be banned in all Tamiya kits apart from maybe the lunchbox! My TT-02 rally car started life as a drift spec chassis so it had the oil shocks and also they gave you the sticky AW grease for the diffs. The result was a nice amount of oversteer and good handling on most surfaces. The only problem I had with it really was that gravel could get in the steering gubbins and also it did tend to fill up with grass and stuff. Be interesting to see what you guys upgrade on your cars and what difference it makes. I think eventually I'd like to have both of them for myself to play with. Don't think I've told you my latest plan which is to convert most of my garage into a hobby room. I think it will be better in the long run but will be a while until I get it sorted. My wife is using the room that was my hobby room for her studies now so I do need to pull my finger out in the garage conversion! Meanwhile still much to do in the house but we are back living upstairs now which is great. I will hopefully find time to do some kit building this weekend. Are you up to much mate?
Good to hear things are going good for you both Pete. Did the insurance man come through yet?
@@hollyhillrc Hi Derek. Yeah we are getting there thanks. Can't remember if I said already but we ended up taking a cash settlement for the work on the house and arranged it ourselves as the building company appointed by the insurance weren't in any hurry. Did you get your house back to normal after the flood from the water tank?
Hi Pete - great to hear you are getting back on your feet, it has been quite a long haul for you! Good luck with the garage, sounds like a good solution...
Glad you liked the tests, as I have already commented, not very scientific - but hey, it's just a hobby and at least it shows a rough idea of the differences. Both cars are ace, and with a few changes they will become awesome! Heard a lot of good things about AW grease in the diffs, must try that! Definitely need a bit of oversteer, makes the car more fun too!
We took the cars on a gravel track last week, and as you say - both cars had locked up steering every couple of minutes as gravel got in - but the XV was the worst affected! Those mudguards on the chassis are a waste of space!
Anyway, my daughter is back home from uni for the weekend, and it's Alf's Birthday soon, so a little get together this weekend and some catch-up time! And beer. And more beer. And maybe a glass of wine. Or 2. Or 3. :))
Might do a little RC on Sunday. Enjoy yours Pete!
Yes thanks Pete. Well, all except painting the ceiling. Haven't done that yet. I hate decorating and I am extremely pants at it lol. At least settling for a cash payment got things going again and I'm pleased you are getting back to normal. It must be a weight off your mind. A hobby garage is a great idea. Sorry for hijacking your thread Mark ; )
Haha Derek - hijack away my friend, you are very welcome - and it's interesting to me anyway!
Hello Mark greetings from Greece new to your channel but it is amazing the way you explain things and also the content you guys are making. I have order my XV-01 Lancia. As you know though in my country it can get pretty hot especially in summer. Any solutions? I have ordered that heat sink for the motor but I am not sure whether it will work. What’s your view on this? I appreciate your help and keep up the good work.
Welcome, Nikos! Thank you for the supportive words, much appreciated. Great choice of car, I must say. If you are using the stock motor, I don't think you will have any problems with overheating, especially with a heatsink fitted. I run mine without one and it never gets too hot. The motor is located at the front outside of the chassis which helps a lot to keep it cool. Enjoy the build of you new car! Best wishes from England! :)

RC 4 LIFE!
@@MarkBryanRC Yes always! I am still waiting for Rustler 4x4 VXL!!!
I hope it will be soon, JD :)
No wonder the XV01 cost more, it won't spin out so easy like the TT02 did, thanks for your demonstrated how much different the two cars perform, however I already bought each of them
You bet! The XV01 easily outperforms the TT02, but then it should as it costs twice as much! Good to hear you got both, best of both worlds! All the best from Mark... :O)
What an excellent comparison video Mark. Perhaps the XV kit supplied shock oil is too hard for tarmac? Not sure myself because haven't done much on-road running . Looked good on the gravel though.Definitely better than my DF LoL. Is that a tyre off the rear rim on Robs TT @0:42 Thumbs up for this. Very interesting and very enjoyable mate.
Bollox, Second. I shouldn't write so much. There were no views and comments when I started ha ha ha : ))
LMAO!!!!! :)))))))
Cheers for a great comment Derek! Haha - I put 700et oil in my shocks - the stock is 600wt!!! But yeah, I love it as it does work spot-on when the ground gets rough!
You are eagle-eyed mate - I didn't spot that on the video, but yes I do remember it coming off on the run. I think it's because there are no foams with the TT02 kit, and the XV comes with foam inserts that help keep the tyres on too - we haven't glued them on!
Thanks for the support and interesting words mate :))
Holly Hill RC How on earth did you spot that, Derek???
That's exactly what I thought. Mikael! :))
most beautiful rallye car ever 👍👍
Yes indeed! Well either this or the Lancia 037. Thanks very much! 😎👍
nice
Thank you very much, Wynn FPV!
Hi, are the shocks between the two of them interchangeble. I mean stock xv01 with stock tt02 (friction and oil)?
Hi Enrico, yes, you can fit the XV01 shocks to the TT02. :)
Oh Sorry . Big Thumbs up of Course :-)
:))
Nice Video nice Edeting
Thanks for the nice comment! Very much appreciated! :)
is the XV sold as a kit too? I only find them (partially) assembled.
Hi John, yes the XV01 is available in kit form, but as with all Tamiyas, they are hard to find for sale during these Covid-19 times! :-/
Speed isn't as much as a factor as handling is. I'm surprised that the turing radius for the XV01 is so small! I like Tamiya for their chassis variety.
Got to agree with that! A better handling car would be my choice over a car with more speed, any day. Yeah, the steering mechanism on the XV01 is far superior to that of the TT02. Metal dogbones and drive-cups also allow a sharper steering angle. I have many different Tamiya chassis, and they all have their good points! Cheers!
my tt02 D was with a speed tuned motor around 28kph with a nimh pack. I think i test it with a lipo. Should maybe hit 30
I'm sure you can hit 30 with a lipo - good luck my friend! 😁👍
Awesome video, think I should buy a fully assembled never used painted one with ball bearings for £150? Thanks
Thanks, Freddie! If it's a XV01 it's a great price and I'd definitely go for it! If it's the TT02, it depends on how well it was put together and painted. If it comes with the radio gear, it's still a bargain! Cheers! :o)
@@MarkBryanRC Thanks so much Mark, sorry I didn’t specify. It is a TT-02 and looks very well put together and is within walking distance, with the radio. It saves me putting it together as I have done it before but just don’t have the time. Thanks a bunch!
@@freddieparrydrums Hi Freddie - no worries my friend - that TT02 ticks all the boxes! Have fun with it! :)
I'd love an XV01, but does the belt drive cope well with uprated motors (also brushless)?
Thanks for the comment, Merrick! I have had no problems with the drive belt so far - but I am only using the standard silver can(Johnson motor) so far. I also have the Tamiya hop-up carbon-reinforced drive belt, but have not needed to fit it yet, I will probably fit a mild brushless motor soon (17.5 or 13.5 turn) and I will report on how that goes - stay tuned my friend! :-)
These belts are pretty tough. The belts in my XV-01 and TRF503 has no issues. As for the diff gears in my TT02? Well, there's a reason why they have been replaced by metal gears. The TT02 diff gears are horribly bad when you run on anything but pavement with a bone stock 27t motor.
@@AB-80X Sorry that I missed this comment my friend! Thanks for the info about the belts! And I agree, the plastic diff gears in the TT02 are a terrible weak-spot. Many thanks for watching and contributing to the discussion :)
Did you get the long damper spec for the xv-01?
No, my friend, this is the stock XV01 with standard dampers - still drives excellent, though! Cheers! :O)
Thank you!RS-540 motor?
Thank you too! Yes, both cars have the standard kit-supplied motor - the TT-02 has a Mabuchi RS540 and the XV-01 has the Johnson RS540.
Hello Mark, its me again 🤗 wondering if different body affects the car handling in rally? What body would you suggest? Many thanks master!
Hi there again, good to read you! No, I haven't noticed any real differences when running different bodies on my rally chassis. I think that if they are about the same weight they will be very similar. All the best! 😉👍
@@MarkBryanRC thanks so much Mark. Yes I was wondering since many people at my place say that hatchback body drives better than sedan shape. Was thinking maybe that was due to weight distribution that affects center of gravity. But if you say so, then I believe you more.. stay healthy!!
You are very welcome! The bodies are so light that it doesn't have a significant effect on the heavy chassis! Take care too, cheers! :)
0:42 - You didn't glue the tyres, did you? Awesome video anyways!
Hi Peter! Ahh, you noticed!!! No we didn't glue the tyres, but most of the time it's OK without glue. With the foams fitted the tyres stayed on just fine. I hate superglue! Thanks for the comment and all the best from Mark 👍 😀
👍
Always great to see that thumb my friend! :))
Nice.
I can get to tt02 for 109 without esc which is fine as i always upgrade a little but the new version is so interesting. Double price though. What to do...
Thanks for the video!
Cheers for the comment Ric! Yeah, Rob got his Lancia TT-02 from timetunnelmodels for £102, no ESC. Plenty of money left for upgrades compared to the price of the XV, but then you do get a lot of cool performance parts with the XV, including a full bearing set, oil shocks, oil-filled diffs, belt drive and fully adjustable suspension and steering - oh, and lots of carbon reinforced plastic parts!. None of this comes with the TT version. However, they do look exactly the same from the outside! :))
@@MarkBryanRC I wouldn't buy a TT 02. It has so much torque steer
@@RC-ty5ym Gotta agree with that! However, the type-S doesn't seem too bad! :)
@@MarkBryanRC yeah.
I'm going to buy a brand new XV 01 pro, because I hate the torque steer of my TT 02. When your turning left, you've got understeer. When turning right, you've got oversteer
@@RC-ty5ym Wow! XV-01 pro - that is gonna be awesome! You will certainly have a lot of fun with that. As for your comments on the TT02, you really got me thinking back to my short time running my friend's TT02 (I don't have a basic TT02). And yes, you are spot-on, I remember suffering from understeer on a particular left hander, but then oversteer when coming back on the same corner in the reverse direction, i.e. a right hander! :))
Ciao! Quanto dura la batteria?
Hi there! The battery lasts about 20 minutes! All the best! 👍
Are the rtr models?
No my friend, they are kits and you have to build them. :)
how fast could you get it to go with a motor upgrade?
I know 30mph is easily possible with a moderate brushless setup (I might do this at some point this Summer) but I'm sure 40mph is possible with a crazy low-turn brushless, but I'd rather keep it at sane speeds and enjoy the handling of the car! :)
Thanks I'm very new to rc. Could you maybe recommend a good motor and the type of battery?
I use the Turnigy TrackStar 13.5 sensored motors with the stock Tamiya TBLE02 ESC, very good and no problems with any of them after many runs. I use the old NiMh 7.2v Turnigy 3000mAh batteries, also from HobbyKing. You may prefer a LiPo pack but I have no experience with LiPo's.
@@MarkBryanRC how long does the 3000mah battery usually last? plus do you know what the top speed is with the brushless motor you mentioned :)
@@malm4640 The 3000mAh battery lasts about 30 minutes+ but it dpends what surface you are driving on, sometimes I get over 45 min on a smooth surface. The 13.5T motor goes 25mph in my buggy, but it will go faster (about 30mph) with higher gearing. :)
Wow so beautiful
Thank you so much - yes these cars are beautiful! :)

Thank you! :))
La xv01 costa quasi il doppio della tt02. Le differenze sono appropriate
Thank you Valberto! I totally agree with you! The purpose of these videos is to see if we can upgrade a TT-02 to be as good as the XV01, but without spending more money than the cost of the XV01. The next 2 videos in the series show how we upgrade the TT02, and see how much better it is. The results are very interesting!
Km/h?
Yes! The Km/h is on the screen next to the Mph at the end of each speed run! :))
Think the xv is the better so far, good comparison
Cheers, rc-nut! Yes, the XV is better in stock trim, but the TT will be upgraded and we will test again - can the TT be better for less than the cost of a standard XV - we will see! Thanks for watching :))

You're welcome I would like to have bought it myself but no money for that, "apparently food is more important "
Haha! That made me laugh my friend! Yes - food is very important, and I know exactly where you are coming from! Enjoy the rest of the weekend - with some nice food I hope! :))
Sunlight go through the shell is not good
I totally agree! I have learned my lesson and now back all my paint with silver and black! 👍
I will stick aluminum sheet.
Good idea! 😁
XV-01 all day, wish Tamiya made more forward motor chassis.
Yep, I think you are spot-on! Same here, I like the way the forward motor chassis handles, my FF03 is very similar! All the best! 👍😊
Owning both, to me there is no comparison. The XV01 is better in every way, despite what Steve (Shen) says lol. Granted, they have 2 very different design philosophies, but I still stand by my statement.
Great comment, Omar! Yes, I know that we all become attached to our Tamiyas, I love my TT02B Too! And I enjoyed driving my friend's TT02, but as you say, the XV is in a different league, design-wise. Being objective, those who have built an XV will understand, the design philosophies are very different, with the XV being very performance oriented. As Rob upgrades his TT02, we will see how the performance gap closes - I think! Thanks for watching and commenting, very much appreciated! :)
