Love it absolutely wicked truck, very cool, cheers KC Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😎👍
That's a BIG 10-4 Gavin. 🚛👍
the hell of stickers
definitely getting that truck. looks good
Trick it out. That foxx is bad ass!
What a stunning looking truck that is Gavin,like you said,upgrading to a lipo will make it come alive. Well done mate.
I rescued one of these and it was unpainted. I really like all the tips you provided. Thank you.
Nice build 🤘🏼
Very nice 👍👍👍
Love it! Inspired me to get one
Absolutely stunning work Gavin, well done, the gunmetal Grey inside like you said is a great idea. Thanks for the great video
Thanks for the kind words. Yep that’s my new body signature. Back all bodies in white then fun metal. It makes the body look a bit more classy.
Looks great Gavin! I’ve always turned my nose up at these....this has changed my mind! Think I’ll source one for a build once some of my projects are done!
Took me 8 hours to trim and assembly the body. Another 8 hours just for the decals.
you did a great job on the shell it looks fantastic
Thanks. A few little jobs to finish off but luckily it turned out OK after all the hours invested into it.
Looks amazing mate
Thanks Andrew 👍🏻
Great job my friend , love the look of that truck .Well worth all the effort you put into it , absolutely epic work .
Thanks Johnny, yep it was a bit of a challenge but I’m happy with the result. Still a few things to do but it’s 99% finished.
I really enjoyed the video. Was just at a local race and they had the Euro Trucks great
i know what it's like to be your own worst critic but this looks hot.
Out of all the builds, the Fat Fox body is the hardest and longest to do.
Great truck I did a custom paint job. I was going no where never those stickers. She is now 5400kv 2s Hobbywing and goes 45+ mph and smooth with it.
That looks pretty cool, pimp it up a bit.
im planning on getting a tt01e HKS nissan skyline! so excited!
Thats a shelf queen , would never dream of running that at a race .looks far to good.
One can of white is my best friend for a racing body. 😂
LOL 👍🏻
Gavin, that looks awesome buddy. The body certainly looked like a pain to paint and assemble. I would love to see that set up for drag racing.
Great job 👍 thanks for persevering through the heat to bring us RC nuts another great video.
Mark.
Thanks, that’s most kind. It did feel like the weather had it in for me on this build. The studio was a lovely 30+ with all the lights so that my excuse for the heat stroke rambling in this video eheheh. I think the video was filmed over five days in the end 😂😜
Excellent job looks great got a new sub👍👍👍
This is my favorite Tamiya kit. So tedious and so rewarding if you take your time.
100% agree Matt
very nice
great vid i am thinking of getting one of these and would love to see the upgrades
Very nice amigo 😀👍
NICE JOB 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Great Job Gavin!! Truck looks the Dog's doo dahs 👍😄
Thanks Ian 🙏🏻👍🏻
I love the look of this truck and I haven't considered.one before.
I wish it was in a more interesting chassis (TC-01?) Wink wink.
Nice
You should try BittyDesign liquid mask, I just started to use it on my body shells and it works great as you can brush or airbrush it on and can be thinned with water. Truck looks great definitely getting that kit to run alongside my Actros.
Thanks for the video, just got this kit now I know what I am in for with the body... throw some bearings and the aluminum prop shaft set in. I have mine ready to go before I start the build. Also planning on fitting Yeah Racing 55mm shocks and probably going brushless
The body is a real challenge but if you take your time it ends up looking stunning.
One of my customers and racer painted his F103 with TS paint and had no problems! He used TS because he wanted to paint it as a shark mouth P-40! Scuffing lexan was smart!😊 Can't remember the chemical name for the etcher for making paint stick to lexan, but do a Google search. Looks great! Nice job!
I ran into the same dilemma with my RE Kyosho Optima. Even without running it, the paint did peel off. I beat myself over my oversight. However mistakes do happen.. Cool video, excellent content and I learned a lot. Looking cool.
instablaster.
I had to stop and post a comment. You aren't kidding! I still haven't finished putting all the decals on mine what a freaking pain in the ass this body is! Keep it up brother love the videos. P.s I used velejo air acrylic for the blue perfect match. If anyone uses the velejo acrylic paints make sure that you put a layer of clear matt over it to seal it.
Accidentally wrote Lit instead of kit in the description & Wouldn't mind seeing some upgrades too this, some power upgrades maybe sensored 13.5t motor, 2nd tallest pinion you can stick in the chassis, & parts so you get adjustable camber, toe in, toe out etc...
Maybe dedicate a kit too use one chassis & do multiple different bodies.
Like one with an undertray for rally along with tamiya rally block tires & fitting rims like the lancia delta integrale or similar classic 1990's rally car.
A wide 200mm body with wide offset rims & tires like an hpi, dodge viper or something.
And perhaps different shocks in the front making it a bit stiffer.
All that sounds fun 👍🏻
I had no desire to buy this kit till I seen this video, it really looks great!!! I would love to see some up grades on this.
Chassis is the basic TT01 so loads of upgrades for it but apart from bearings, motor fan and an alloy prop shaft, really it’s good to go. This is a stunning body but the hardest one I have ever done. It takes hours and hours but the end result is well worth the pain.
Nice..please have it shipped to my place..😛
i've nearly finished a full aluminium upgrade on mine with a 16t pinion gear at the same time using the chassis as a rally car for club racing with a brushless set up on 2s so a bit of work to do my body is the team reinhart mann racing truck my brother has the buggyra
Regarding your black paint , you could use the PS clear on the outside then respray black and it will adhere .
Yep the Truck is begging to be pimped up👍😄
Looks awesome Gavin!!! Turning radius looks a little disappointing
Just brought this today Gavin and amazed but also how much is involved with painting and masking the body and cutting out.What sort of brushless set up would you recommend for this bad boy.Would be great if you did an upgrade video too.I see what you mean about all the decals there is.😊👍
Yes what upgrades would be the best for that model
Very nice! Apparently my brother is hooking me up with one of these fir my birthday. I am very much a nimh driver (no interest in switching to lipo) so what do you think would be the hoppiest motor i could get away with in this thing to get a bit more zip out of it??
You spent hours and days getting it to this stage............. Be a shame to stop now = upgrade, boost, pimp, supercharge! I'll wait for that so subscribed. Thanks
Don truck!...
Don't be so hard on yourself. Back in the 90's when I worked in a body shop, I painted just about everything with PPG paint. If you scuffed it, you should not have any issues. I raced a losi XX with multiple colors and it never chipped at all.
Hi, just building the Fat Fox. Yours turned out great! Do you know the colour code of the backing gun metal colour you used on the body? Also where did you get the Goodyear tyre decals? I enjoy watching your videos, thanks.
our local track is running the euro trucks as a stock class. They look fun and arent as serious as other classes. Whats the spoiler that you used as that looks sharp? I'm leaning towards the buggya vs the cabovers.
Hi, Yep these are great fun to drive and not super expensive to get into. The spoiler is a bargain eBay special that you can get for a few $$
I will eventually start mine which i bought 8 months ago,but the body and graphics are scaring me.lol
Yep it’s a challenge for sure.
I found it to drive better and fill the fenders nice with the wide axle set on front and rear. Its not race legal but i am not also.
Would be good to see a video about the upgrades
I sold it Brian. I have another NIB but I plan to put the body set on a better chassis
Took me 8h to decal the beast
Yep, it is the hardest body set I have done. It just takes hours.
You used the wrong paint 🤨 so you just glossed over it 🤣 took me a while but I got it 😂. Very funny
One or two small issues lol
Does that wing come with body, if not, where did you purchase it?
My hornet is done in metallic blue it really nice in sun
I really like this Metallic blue. I wish I had painted my Terra Scorcher in this.
@@RCKickschannel yes it would look great in the metallic blue
Looks great. What would you suggest if you where to take the truck racing? Witch is what I'm planning on doing
Well a lot of people run them in the stock Euro truck racing so you can’t do much. Glue the tyres and I’ve seen people glue the side wall of the front tyres to stop the tyre rolling over on the rim.
Running Lipo really helps this chassis.
Tamiya stickers the pain of my life , When you have big fingers, I like the body will it fit the TT02 as they are almost the same I think 👊🏻👍🏻
I would think so yes.
Question Gavin, what did you do to the tires in white? Is it just white paint over the Tamiya marking or is it a sticker, looking great/
Hi Nicolas, It’s tyre decals.
What spoiler did you put on?
Does it suffer from torque steer on high speeds?
I almost buy this every time I get on Amain hobbies. I love the looks and the idea. You saying that the body is hard is everything I need to know about this kit. I love RC but not cutting lexan or cutting stickers. Just not good at it. Thanks for pushing off the kit until I’m ready for the body work.
NEW SUBSCRIBER 😀. 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
What makes it worse is they aren’t peel & stick stickers. Where did you get the wing? My body
kit did not come with a wing. PS-40 is guaranteed not to stick, you can respray it after it flakes off.
Nice. Does the body scratch on the under parts when turning fast? Also does it feel heavy with the high center of gravity - like a truck? Or do you need to put some weight up there. Cool as.
No issues at all with clearance on the wheels and I have the body as low as possible to look good. It’s basically a car chassis so it drives like one with a bigger body on it.
Sell the body and do it again. Win, win, win!
Shelf queen body for sale by RCKicks $179 get it now! ..... bodda bing bodda boom!
I am not doing another one! Not for a long time hehehe
Would backing it in PS help stop TS from cracking? It should be more flexible?
I’m not sure, possibly support the TS paint a bit more but I think what saved me was I key my polycarbonate bodies before I paint them so it gives a good service for the paint to grab. That and the body doesn’t flex that much in the centre.
Hi Gavin, which spoiler did you use?. Steve.
Also interested in spoiler here Gavin pls :)
I wish I could tell you but the first one came with the truck and purely by chance the one I used in this build came in a job lot randomly. I recognised it so kept it knowing I was going to do a Fat Fox myself. It fits the truck really well. Sorry
What would be a good brushless setup for these chassis tto1e and tt02
A Hobbywing motor and esc combo is worth a look as the price and quality is reasonable. Just don't go nuts on the KV lol
TS-40 ,You are a one!
LOL I know. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
So, using a Scotch brite pad to give the plastic body a key won't show thru on the outside?
Nope not if you don’t go mad and stay off the windows. Truck looked OK didn’t it?
@@RCKickschannel The truck looked great!
hi do you know where I could get a new body for a suboru impretza
What one are you after?
@@RCKickschannel Remember that kit you could build weekly from hacheti
Have you tried liquid mask?
Yep and I’ve never had any luck with it. Getting sharp lines is just impossible.
Sorry one last thing I really think you should start using magnets for body. I know there all the cheap magnet options but a Magnet with a 3mm or 4mm hole in it from the factory can fix all bodies that are not “pre drilled of course” you can buy these magnets in bulk and they are cheap. I’ll send you a video about it.
Just wondering can it fit to touring chassis like yokomo bd8?
Anyone has try?
Check the TT02 wheelbase against the chassis you want to use. After that check the chassis width and it its close you should be able to make it fit.
Can anyone send me a link for the exact spoiler that is on the rear of this truck?
I like it and would like to order one.
TIA

Man i want one so bad now but no where to drive it.
I have the same limitation.
@@RCKickschannel unless i turn it into a tt02b then i can take it out on my track in the back yard
The spolier, who make the wing?
It’s an eBay special. It’s a generic drift car wing
Im going to have to stop watching your channel Gav! its costing me a fortune! I remember the days when I only bought vintage tamiya's, Im not going to go into how many other rc cars I now have thanks to you haha, but needless to say they have burned a very large hole in my pocket. Now I can feel another purchase coming on LOL!!! That truck looks awesome, I want one :):):)
LOL thanks Arnold. Well I just put out another unboxing video you might like, the Ultima? Your welcome, enjoy ehehe 😜
Hi mate is it possible to purchase any of you're builds or indeed get you to build a kit for me.? Thanks
I sell stuff as and when. As for building others, it would be super expensive as it takes time to paint up bodies and build kits. If you see something you like, just drop me a message. Nothings for sale but everything has a price lol 👍🏻
Way too many stickers, but was a fun kit to assemble.
Why is the HOLOUBEK on the hood/bonnet mirrored? looks odd.
It’s so the camera in the real race truck while it’s racing can read the advertisement correctly.
@@RCKickschannel Ahh... yes... I see I was wrong in stating it's mirrored. It's "upside down" so that a in cab camera reads it, like you say. Got it!
Roy Brueren Well that’s the only reason I can think of that would explain why it’s upside down lol. I had to check the manual a few times to be sure I wasn’t going bonkers.
Even harder than the TC01 Formula E Gen 2 bodyshell?
I don't understand why England doesn't use Air conditioners. It gets hot and humid. How do your possessions and houses not get full of mold?
It’s only for a few days a year so it’s not really enough to justify the cost of fitting air conditioning to the house. It’s the same with snow, we only get 1-5 days a year so no point having snow tyres.
Sweet looking truck but I don’t like all those decals on them. If I build one it’s going to look like a semi truck with a trailer.
Using ts instead of ps......... We've all done at some point lol.
Stupid mistake but it’s not my first and I’m sure it’s not my last. I try to keep it honest and show my stuff ups as we all make them now and again. 👍🏻
Get a chassis. (Check my FB page for the one I got. Slick.)
Nobody wants to buy that truck foo
Whats a foo? Let me have a guess, Full Of Optimism?
