Thanks , another great video! Can't believe these little cars can go so quick. I thought my technitune was quick back in the day. Thanks again. Love your work.
Good morning Glen!! That was very entertaining! I wish I can help you or offer some advice but I only stick with sport tuned motors. Just getting my feet wet again because of your channel. Not brave enough yet. Keep up the awesome videos. Loving it! Thanks
that next motor you are about to try is the one I used to have in my lunchbox, took it out and sold it on as it was just too much for it.. to be honest I was not expecting that Tamiya brushless to go any better so glad to see it did.. sounds better also
You know when you have reached the peak of speed for these when you have to go retrieve them lol, I lost signal on my old TA03R at about 60mph.... that didn't end well!
That's going great on 3s. Maybe some foam tyres might have more traction on that surface. I found my old TA-04 was a lot more driveable on asphalt after changing from rubber slicks to foams. Goes great though! 👌👍
RC Hobby Shed Thanks Mick, and yes I completely agree with your comment on Facebook about me being tired. You’re absolutely spot on my friend. I lost track of why I’m doing this, well actually doing it for the wrong reasons now. The content will slow down dramatically from next month onwards 👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends Rest up mate. The frequency of your videos each week is a huge amount of work, especially doing them in the detail you do. I say just cruise and do it at your own leisure. Take it easy mate! 👍
Nice! Its awesome youre doing this, mate, as I have a TB04 & TA06 both NIB still yet to build & don't yet know how best to chose a gearing, motor, esc set up for them. But 3s Lipo on the tble02? Wow! Spec in manual says like 7.2V max! I am amazed that it isn't tripping its safety cut offs & here's why... I run my Blitzer Beetle with the tble02 hooked up to a 13.5T Speed Passion & a 4000mAh 7 cell 8.4V nimh (specially made off center hump pack to fit the strap) & use the bigger of the 2 pinions available in the gearbox (15 tooth?). Now I must be pushing it pretty hard, it runs good & never cuts out, but... The tble02 will NOT pull the Speed Passion 10.5T I have on the 7 cell bomb, as it just trips the safety cut off (current draw or temperature?). Now my multimeter tells me the voltage of the pack is over 10V straight off charge, & obviously the BB has got much bigger wheels than the TA05 so I don't know how the ratios compare. But that's still quite impressive it ran so well without tripping. Maybe the cold weather is helping after all! Awesome!
Makes for some interesting footage, high speed with only rear brakes. Next, Glenn will say “ I should have fitted the front diff” well maybe. Anyway it’s fun to see. 👍🏻😎
I think for reading a few people don't get on well with the Tamiya electronic speed controller because it just keeps cutting out after about 8 to 10 minutes. The BZ Superstock is very fast at 36 mph on 2s
Hi Glenn, you need some 20R radial tires to get some grip on cold days. Speedmind mounted should be good and the dish wheels should help with aero as well
@@TAMIYALegends Excellent! I totally understand that you need a break. So many of us have depended on you for our 'fix' over the past few months. Thank you so much for all your hard work!
how things have changed i used to have the sprint motor back the day with a black can and red end bell and the endurance one with the blue end bell they were fast back then ... but didnt last too long when all you could have was a 1250 battery pack ha ha
Really need too swap out that front one way diff too a 2nd rear diff or if possible buy another ball diff so you can actually stop with all 4 wheels instead of essentially pulling the handbrake too slow down with. (Usually for very grippy surfaces you want the rear tires too brake like racing indoors on carpet kind of stuff or with an esc you can adjust the brake force on quite a bit or if you are making a drift car essentially, it helps throwing it around the corners.
Getting closer to the ton! The 5750kv will be insane. I like Mick’s suggestion foam tyres, should grip better, but when you hit the brakes that might tear them to shreds. I’ve never used them on 1/10th asphalt so I am only guessing. 👍🤓🇦🇺
Couple of plastic spacers and fit the protection bar (you rebel) To switch reverse on/off simply fire up speedo holding button then release when LED is on red. Didn’t know you could run a TBLE02S on 3s did it survive
In my opinion the Sport tuned is for the purpose of more speed the most buck for the money. They are not that expensive and fine to run on the tble 02s wich come with most cars. And you keep everything in one piece.
As Marcus says adjust the drag brake on the ESC to help pulling the car up Also try to find a spool for the front give you a little weight saving over a diff
If you want to calculate loaded rpm, use 3.6 volt rather than 3.7v. If you want to get nuts, give the new TP Power 3630CM 7000kv motor a try. It's 3S rated and physically a 3658 size can... A real beast of a 540 style motor.
Hi Glen Top video love watching all your tamiya legends videos. Im in the process of building a tamiya TT02 type s with a few upgrades and cant decide on a body shell for it though? What shell is fitted to this car please as looks really cool 👍👌
I'd recommend when running on the street run a tyre with a tread pattern instead of full slicks. Makes alot of different when it comes to grip and stability.
Great run, will we see 60mph? I'm running a ta04 with a skyrc cheetah 8.5t 83 spur 46 pinion(48pitch) and on 2s I get 50.6mph with foams on front and rubbers on rear. However when I run my Hpi sprint with the same spec it hits 53.9mph.. But they both r insane with 3s as couldn't get it to stay straight lol. Looking forward to seeing the next vid 👍👍👍👍
Forgive me for asking an unrelated question, but did you prefer the DT-01 chassis with the Mad Bull tires or the Stadium Blitzer tires? Never been into the 2wd cars, but your Rookie Rabbit Mad Bull made me order one. 😁
I know it won't make much of a difference but I think you need to retest the RZ motor with new bearings instead of the old ones you pulled from the acto-power motor. I was just wondering if it would help it's top end significantly or not. 🤓
This might be a reach of a request, but will you be able to compare the Traxxas Titan 12T 550 brushed motor, Arrma Mega 15T 550 brushed motor vs both of the Tamiya Super Stock brushed motors? PLEASE????????????
Did you have to calibrate your radio to your ESC if not some time's it doesn't hurt to re do it, turn your end points and dual rates to 100% before hand that mite give a bit more speed every little help's
Brill vid 👍🏻 my hotshot has the same set up ( apart from drive pinion size) and is rapid. I didn’t think the Esc could handle lipo as no cut off. Is 2s safe on this esc in your opinion ? Thanks, keep up good work 👍🏻
ESC's don't "need" a cut-off to be lipo safe; they just need to be able to handle the voltage and current output of the battery. The lipo cut-off setting is to prevent permanent damage to the battery from over-discharging. Just make sure to stop running when the car slows considerably and/or use an external voltage monitoring/warning device and you should be fine. I've been doing this for years and have had no issues.
1114mat the TBLE-02s maxed out at 23T brushed and 8.5T brushless. If you have the newer bigwig re-re, the stock motor is equivalent of BZ motor. The ESC would not be able to handle Technigold or Dynatech 01R or Dynatech 02H. If you have an older motor, it is best to get some old LRP ESc or some tekin brushed instead. For servo, any newer metal gear servo will work. Please keep inmind that the Bigwig has the Rack and Pinion Steering not the regular setup
The kits should come with an esc in the box tbl02s & a standard 540 motor, you'll need a radio, receiver, servo, paint (i think for the top force at least.) battery & charger. It's all fairly standard these days for everything unless it's micro sized uses Futaba plugs with 3 wires. Or mentions it's non standard in any other way. Like say a sensored brushless motor or non sensored brushless motor doesn't always work with every esc out there if it doesn't meet the specs of being able too manage a say 5.5t sensored brushless motor on an esc that has 8.5t as the top end brushless motor limit it will certainly fail after a bit if it doesn't manage too shut down while overheating. If you are just going too be running these buggies about outside & not on a track & don't want too buy a new radio for every kit I'd recommend flysky's gt3c (Can bind up too 10 different receivers & can just switch between them on the radio pretty much.) If you don't mind multiple radios on the shelf the flysky gt2e works fine or any of their similar radios. Specially if you don't do any racing on the track at all really. bunch of different models here too check out. www.flysky-cn.com/car-1 Could ofc just buy one radio & a spare receiever & bind too one car every time you go for a drive with one of the two or have it attached too the car via velcro & just move over the receiver too the other buggy when you want too drive the other one. Planning too run higher end brushless power similar too the video ? I'd look at hobbywings sensored trackstar esc & motors they are pretty good quality wise, on par if not much better then tamiya's esc's, motors im not sure there is a whole lot of difference performance wise other then the trackstar motors perhaps having more adjustability on the motor timing as well. Can buy those on for example hobbyking.com or similar sites. If you want too keep it cheap though you can stick with the tbl02s esc & get a sensored motor for that included esc (down too 10.5t i believe which is fairly decent speed wise as you can see in the video here with a tall gearing, specially on 2s lipo with the motor timing turned up a bit.) If you need a stronger esc for some modified brushed motors like say a 15t 540 motor or a vintage motor of some sort with similar specs or lipo batteries I'd go with a hobbywing 1060 for sure. Down too 15t brushed motors on 3s lipo is pretty quick if not faster then what you've seen in the video here as long as the gear ratio is balanced somewhat. & 12t brushed motors on 2s lipo which is also quite fast. You can run 2s lipo batteries in the tble02s voltage wise but you'll need an external low voltage alarm of some sort so you know when too stop running the car before the battery starts taking damage from running too empty beyond it's safe cutoff voltage limits.
I laughed out loud at all that panting! Great job, thanks Glenn. How were the cars temps after the 3s? Do you think that speedo will hold using only 3s? Do you have any plans to do any videos at a local track?
Peter Renaud It was barley warm tbh, but literally only in the car for a couple of minutes. I’ve run 3s before a couple of times with the TBLE02s in 540 motors and haven’t had one go bang yet 😬 Unfortunately no indoor or outdoor tracks even remotely close to me Peter 😭😭😭
@@TAMIYALegends the barnyard in Perth doesn't look that far?? It's not that fancy, but still looks like a good time. I am hoping to go colasanti's in kingsville this summer, about 30 minutes from my house. Pretty sure there won't be any other Tamiyas there, but I don't care. Thanks again!
HI Glenn, you would not really need to adjust the timing on a brushless sensored motor with a proper ESC that can program the timing. i can do 2s 85Km/h easy with a 10.5T brushles with an hobbywing xrun esc boost and timing configured. you would be amazed with a programmable esc. I don't know if tamiya even makes that kind of ESC
Wut ? the 10.5t motor did 64 km/h though on top speed running 2s which is faster then the stock 540 on 3s lipo. + The tbl02s is not exactly the greatest brushless sensored esc as it's very conservative on timings for less heat & more runtime which gives less of a punch under acceleration if that's what you are wondering about.
I think we need a “it might go pop!” T shirt making 😂

I know the car is a Honda NSX but is it an actual Tamiya?
with a gool rc setup in my tto1e it'll run 50 even on a 3s . maybe time for a new chassis LOL
Esc limits the motor. Better off with a sensored hobbywing esc. The difference is massive.
the issues is that you still need to let off sooner than you are
Time to break 100kph

Oh yes 😎🚗💨💨💨
There is a tz motor and a dirt tuned motor and gt tuned motor.
Nice body would look much nicer with some smoke ps paint on windows try it

Once I’ve finished the speed runs with it, I’m fitting a Tamiya cockpit into it 🤩👊🏻
No, dont start smoking bad for your health
😊😊🤝💪👍👍👍
Thats slower than Stock Mabuchi Can Motor
Huh?? The stock motor was the first one he ran, and it's the slowest one yet.
Wut ? the 10.5t motor did 64 km/h though on top speed running 2s which is faster then the stock 540 on 3s lipo.
+ The tbl02s is not exactly the greatest brushless sensored esc as it's very conservative on timings for less heat & more runtime which gives less of a punch under acceleration if that's what you are wondering about.
You what mate? Somebody hasn't followed the series.
You're gonna need a bigger road.

Yep I found one, but it turned out to be not long enough for the 6.5 motor 😂👊🏻
Please please please get you a proper 540 brushless motor and leave that 380 in a grasshopper!

Pmsl 😂
All I’m doing is trying every motor I have 🤷🏼♂️
