    It’s nice to see what the TC-01 chassis looks like. Actually and a bit ironically, I wanted to build one for my first hobby-grade RC and drift car project as a bit of a tongue-in-cheek joke because many people say “fOrMuLa E iS lIkE wAtChInG rC cArS gOiNg ArOuNd A tRaCk”.
    Kinda glad and yet bummed I didn’t. I settled on a TT-02 instead because it was more well-known and better supported. But man, what a beautiful chassis!

    Oh No, I am in Love with the chassis already , was just watching the guys abroad using them in on road racing and they seem to handle as if on rails and man they look great too, Well Glenn this looks like its on the christmas list for this year he he , and what a body shell - that part i wont look forward to as that's going to really test my skill and more so, my paitence lol will but definitely enjoying this build so far ,Thanks again for yet another amazing kit build :-)

    Love the video of course Glen, I have to say I am excited to see the next video. I love the chassis but the formula E body is just weird looking to me. You always have such a great take on your paint and stickers so I am excited to see what you do I might come around on the body, we will see.

    You usually want the front wheels toed out at rest on a four-wheel drive RC. This is so that under acceleration when the wheels pull forward and remove slack from the system they are basically pointing straight. If you start with them straight at rest you're going to end up with a bunch of toe in under acceleration in the front which is not going to be ideal.

      You’ll 100% need the front UJ’s to do that my friend 😅👊🏻

  • @superjimnz
    @superjimnz 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Finished building mine up yesterday. There are a couple of areas where you have to be careful, the front and back end are mostly the same, except you use different number of washers. Also the shims in the diff, I saw elsewhere that you should omit the 0.1mm shims when building new (the manual has a note to fit them to adjust clearance). Finally, I found it odd that the springs are too short to fully extend the dampers, so will actually be fully extended with some play (using the recommended spacers, both front and rear).
    The body will be a separate project, takes up more than half the box with all the different pieces!

    Thanks for the video! I've been curious as to how you'd feel about the TC01, and perhaps one day when you get to run it and compare to other touring chassis. It was one of the first few Tamiya kits I built and it did feel precise. Luckily, I haven't popped the drive shafts yet (running on a 10T motor). I agree, it has quite a tight tub and has some heft. But I think the chassis design looks beautiful without a shell. Seems like the TD4 Super Avante borrowed some of the front suspension design. Thanks again and hope to see what you do next with it.

    • @TAMIYALegends

  • @FredLombardo
    @FredLombardo 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I built this same car and went a bit overboard. I put bearing throughout the car including a tiny one for the steering. Not a single bearing in my car. It was my favorite build. I preordered this car when it was first announced. It’s a beautiful car. Also put a light in the back to simulate the real car. The body shell was very complex and I shudder to think what it would feel like if I hit something lol. I have only driven the car one time and very gingerly at that.

    Just finishing a TB05R a lot of this is very familiar I almost went with a TC01 for my next TC but decided to stick with the conventional suspension setup of the TRF420 used on the TB05R and it just came with more race spec upgrades out the box.
    Something to note how it’s so low slung you could almost drive it with the chassis upside down this is a thing on a lot of the current generation of Touring Cars not just Tamiya but the Mugen MTC2, A800, BD10 etc. gone are the days of shock towers peaking above the top of the wheels

    I agree that it looks so much better with the body off! I actually took a full year of admiring the assembled chassis before I finally mounted the body. Then I immediately tore off the stock body and turned mine into a rally car, which suits this chassis SO much better than Formula-E.

    I forgot to mention something…I had issues with my rear differential spaces inside the diff housing when following the kit instructions. It seems Tamiya recommended shims on the wrong side of the crowns bevel gear. My gears were grinding due to large gap in the alignment. I had to shim the rear diff differently than what was in the instructions. It fixed the issue.

      Yeah the rear diff it too tight you have remove the smaller spacers. It makes the car want to tail slide going in a straight line

      The 0.1mm shims are optional to adjust clearance, I did not fit them in mine; I guess they are for once the diffs are worn a bit.

      @@superjimnz Hi James. I believe you are referring to shims BC8 on Step 22; inside the Diff. Seems there are lots of shims used in this kit. For my issue, I was referring to the BC6 shims (.2mm), also on step 22. The manual shows 2 on the Diff Housing B side and 1 on the À side. This pushes the crown bevel gear away from the BC2 bevel gear when mounted. I had to swap the .2mm shims ( 1 on B and 2 on A) bringing the gear mesh closer because it was too far apart and was clunking or grinding.
