Hey Glenn! My friend, that car is a beast!! And with hopups is taken to the next level!! A massive thank you to Kieth for sending Glenn those parts!! Top man!! This car will be a classic in 20 years mate!! Wes, Liverpool UK.
Nice video again Glenn. Don't be worried and try and make them too short, I always enjoy the content, even more at Christmas time when you were really pumping out the videos several times a week!
This is amazing. You have improved this no end. It is by far the best one I have seen. You embraced this new release like a pro. Said it before but whilst many got put off by the colour scheme you made it work and look epic.
Well tbh I thought it ran great already although it was in extreme winter conditions 🥶 I’d imagine now in the coming summer and the new improvements it will only get better my friend 😇👊🏻
Looks awesome Glenn. Well done Keith for making this happen 🙌🏻 The blue alloy parts from Tamiya do look great on the cars. I would imagine with the TD4 lots of it is also very practical.
Good morning Glen!! Gotta say still not sold on the buggy only reason is you have to do a lot of stuff to it to get it running properly out of the box. But I gotta say you do make it look DAM good when it’s all said and done!! Keith your a amazing person!! Thanks guys!!! Your awesome!
Hi Glenn , nice video , good on ya Keith ;) from A carpet racing point of view the sway bar set and rear wishbone mount made a big difference on track , still playing with it as well ;) I used the pills to add extra toe in on mine. Great stuff as usual ;)
To stabalise the servo I have used double sided tape directly to the bottom of the servo it’d made a huge difference Great content as always. Thank you Glenn
Funny you mention that. I know I’m on your channel always talking about my TT-02R clone but really it’s the one car that I have almost EVERY hop-up on that car except maybe the TRF big bore dampers. What’s ironic is how it was a standard TT-02 and well… it got out of hand. In truth, I spent WAAAY more on it than if I had started with a genuine R but that’s RC-ing for you! Lol Anyway, I hope in the future we get to see a running video to see just how much the hop-ups improved the chassis. I know in my case, the full steering upgrade kit made my car much more sharper. Until then mate, take care.
That’s awesome!! Don’t think, in my 35+ years, that I’ve ever built a full spec car either. Now I want to. Thanks Glenn and Keith. Now money must be spent!! Hahaha.
I did mine and loved the look. I also know how much you love bling. Figured it was the least I could do for you building the juggernaut. I know that build will take a lot of time. Enjoy my friend.
Thanks Keith I certainly wouldn’t of done this without you sending me the bits, but now it’s done I’m thinking I HAVE to do the same on the TD2 when it arrives 🤣👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends I know the feeling, I actually still have a pile of the hop ups. Me being a dummy sometimes, has a tendency to double order. Lol. In this case I ordered 2 sets of them all through rcjaz. Totally forgot, and ordered 2 more sets from rc mart. Didn’t realize until they were all delivered. Oh well. Happy to share.
I haven't started building my TD4...heck, I haven't even received it yet (should be delivered on Monday)...but, I can say this - you now have all the 'Hop-Ups' I've either already received, have enroute, or will be ordering (once back in stock), except one. You are still missing one 'Hop-Up...and, it's even better than the aluminum diff nut. What are you missing? Gear diffs...specifically, the Steel Gear Diff Units (54471), Gear Diff Shim Set (54589), and (optional) Aluminum Gear Diff Covers (54602). Get those, and THEN you'll have a "fully Hopped-Up" TD4. 🤙🏼
@@TAMIYALegends I might have also come up with a way to completely eliminate the servo-chassis torque flex...but, I won't know for certain until I receive my TD4 (should be delivered tomorrow). Once I have a chance to look at the chassis pan, I will know whether, or not, my idea would work. Will update once I know.
It looks awesome. I have 2 of the Hop ups so far, for when I get one, the Titanium Screw set and the Alloy step screws for the servo mount. I'll eventually get one when I stop buying Avante and Egress hop ups 🤪
Hi Glenn hope your well. The car looks even more amazing now. I’ve got a pre- painted on order so will be getting some hop ups now to match with the yellow chassis.Best Regards
Awesome Glenn, your just missing the titanium screw set to have "every option" for that chassis, LOL. Looks great man, I thought about all that stuff for mine but the blue wont go with the "theme" I'm going for.
@@TAMIYALegends Dude, I have a set already, but there is not enough screws in the bag for the whole chassis which kind of pisses me off, A titanium "screw set" should come with ALL the screws for said chassis I would think, coming from Tamiya.
Just the upper gearbox cases I thought- can’t remember missing anything of note from my build. It’s not a great mod really though, just “nice and cool” neither adds strength or much function. Saves a few grams that could be saved elsewhere.
Mine is still in bits after my diff nuts give up two minutes into its maiden voyage😔 still waiting for the replacement parts and have done since Christmas😡......nice one tamiya!
Yeah, I’ve had some torquing issues with my TT-02 before and most recently after I installed a hard coated 27T pinion, one of Tamiya’s newest. Put some blue Loctite on the nuts and torque them up as you did previously. It shouldn’t back off but if it does, it may be worthwhile to inspect the entire driveline for any vibration or binding. Anyway, I hope you get it all running again soon. That still sucks it happened though Loctite on nuts and bolts definitely helps.
That's looks awesome, there is a couple of bits you could add, these things are never really finished are they🤣. I've got the blue servo saver top and some blue servo screws. I don't think there are many more official tamiya bits after that. It seemed to take ages for the few bits I've got to arrive.
RC Australia convinced me to buy this kit after he dyed the wheels yellow. It totally transformed the car. Tamiya made a big mistake not making the wheels match the decals.
In my opinion, I agree that Tamiya goofed on that. However, I think they should’ve made the graphics with a high-vis yellow instead of what they did. I think if they’d done that, perhaps the car would’ve gotten better acclaim within the RC community.
I was always lead to believe the RRP price in Yen is the number on the right hand side of the hop-up packaging. Just shows how much we over pay in the west for this stuff
😁 what you adjusted the ride height so it looks good on the shelf.... don't you supposed to adjust the ride height for the conditions your driving the car in! 😁Shelf queens! LoL!! Sorry I just had to do it bud!😜😜
Yeah I’ve got a running video of it up on the channel. I’m waiting to buy another nice brushless combo soon. Once that arrives I’ll get it installed and get this out again hopefully on a track 😊
Price in Yen. Think of it as MSRP; that’s what Tamiya suggests you sell it for in Japan but can be higher if you prefer. As for us outside Japan, one has to keep in mind duties and taxes also involved with sending those parts to dealers overseas which is why prices and availability for hop-ups fluctuate wildly.

i really like that car, i remember seeing it a while back and thinking it looked ugly, but it has grown on me a lot.
Excellent yeah it’s not the prettiest body set that’s for sure 🤣
Wow, those hop-ups seriously transform the look of the TD4, and definitely for the better😉 Awesome video as always, keep up the great work mate!!👍👍
Thank you Barry 😊
That blue makes it look so much better, loves a bit of bling under the hood👍
Haha me too Damien 😅👊🏻

@@TAMIYALegends make a tape board tape sandwich to get the height and stiffness
Looks awesome liking the tire choice 😎👌👊🔥🔥🔥 ....Just a suggestion Glenn how about putting future hop up parts/numbers in the descriptions .
Yeah sorry I really should be doing that, I’ll try get that up and running in future videos 😅👊🏻
That look like a proper race car with those wheels on. I’m really getting tempted to add it to my Avante family .
Go on you know you want to lol 😂

Wicked looking td4 buggy especially with all that bling lol 😆. Great vid as always Glenn 👍 has Keith got a TH-cam channel ?
Stayed tuned Alex he’s just in the process of getting it ready to launch. And oh boy wait until you see what he has 😍
Well sir, once again, the RC community comes in to do a great thing. Well done bud. Enjoyed it
Thank you 😊
Hats off to Keith! Looks seriously good with all the hop ups added 😃. I’m particularly impressed with those sway bars! Nice one Glenn 👍🏻

Haha not for awhile we’re under snow at the moment 🥶🥶🥶
It looks great! Do you have a 2nd rig to drive? This one belongs on the shelf!
I’ve ran this quite a bit before I did these changes so it’s going to have an easy life now lol 🤣
Fantastic 👍 can you list the part numbers? Want to cross check the hop ups I’ve got for mine.
Oh no I’m sorry I didn’t write them down I just showed them on this video 🤕🤕🤕
I hope you get the td-2 and you put all the hop-ups on that that's like for supervante.

Lovely and I had also did the same as you but with one more hop up which is the oil filled diffs. Check them out…
It looks so good, but its also worth more than an egress haha.
