Watching now ☺️ Half-way through ... Just had to ad ‘Yes, it’s a WR-01. The 2WD version which was introduced with the Blackfoot Xtreme a couple of years later is the WT-01’. And ‘Yes, 20 bearings is not right. You need 16 x 1150 for the WT-01 and 24 x 1150 for the WR-01’ ... but you probably figured that out in the rest of the vid ... gonna continue watching now to see ☺️
22 bearings? Why? It’s 8 for each gear box and then 8 for the wheels ... 24
Great video mate. And great with the gears. The gears are super tough, but take a look at my spur gear in my Wild Dagger tear down to see how much metal-paste from the alloy pinion gears there are. Just the sight might make you change them to steel ☺️ But I get it. I too have cars, like the Grasshopper and Hornet, where I just left it alloy. And yeah, extremely low geared and dual motors and extreme torque ☺️ It’s a blast. A tip: get a couple of budget 50-100 pieces packs of 1150 bearings. So many Tamiya models use them. Much much cheaper to buy them in big lots, than a pack for each car (especially when even ripped off and you didn’t get all 24).

Thank you my friend I actually have a stock of bearings now 😊👊🏻. Hope you and your family are doing well 👊🏻
Ah, silly me. I just asked this question without looking through the comments.. Thanks for answering anyway!
Ah so a nice easy fix to the gearbox. I once fixed a friends RC and it was the same issue but harder to see as it was a TT-01 and the motor plate is inside. Nice vid. I look forward to seeing how this runs :-)
Pete Wylie RC Videos
Cheers Pete 😊👊🏻
My daughter has the single motor version of this chassis, I fitted some eBay special metal dampers and it’s been a great truck, she now races a Schumacher KC but still loves her truck.
Chris Wizz
Excellent Chris 🤩
Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
I'm after a set of wheels and tires for mine ..no Idea where mine are lol
I obviously missed part 1. 😞
WOW that Brat looks GOOD!! 😁😁
Wild Dagger is one I wanted that I couldn't.
Back in NiMH days, that couldn't have had much runtime...
I can imagine with a Lipo, you should get 20min to half hour!! 😎
It looks lightly used and in great shape. The Lexan should still look good in the "City" livery.
Bad luck getting SHORTED 2 Bearings!! 😠 It's the idea, not the cost, which is at least small....
Cheers and stay SAFE! 😷

Thanks as always for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
That really was a bit of luck that the grub screw didn’t get into the gears. 🍀🍀
RC ModSquad
Yeah I was expecting the worst 😓
Thanks for watching 👊🏻
If it’s from (RCDamper) their alloy Damper Tower Plate, then you’ll need, 95mm or 100mm dampers. If you haven’t already check out RCDamper, nice range of Alloy up-grade’s for the Twin Detonator type chassis. I would also recommend their Alloy Servo Mounts, it holds the servo so much better no side to side movement & keep an eye on the standard servo saver, terrible. Also the rere Blackfoot (& Bruiser) tires fit, if you like those better?
Sorry I talk to much. Cheers 👍🏻😎
Rcalltypes
No I really appreciate your help and feedback my friend 😊👊🏻
I think I count 24 bearings. 16 for all the gears plus 8 for the wheels. Did they short you 4?
Greg006
Yes they did lol 😂
I was so mad 😡 but I’ve got spare luckily 😓
Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
Just use some of the bearings I sent you from Happy RC since that ebay set you got jipped you 2 bearings.... Dig the Pinion Gear Setting tool Hahhahahahaa
Gene
Hey this was before your delivery got to me, I’ve given you a couple of shoutouts on coming videos 😊👊🏻
Glenn we have the Blackfoot 3 (same chassis) and have the longer alloy shock towers with the long shocks. Looks and performs so much better.
Lee Hurst
Cheers Lee, yep I think I’ll head down that road with it 😊👊🏻
There is 3 versions of this truck, wild dagger, twin detonator and dual Hunter, the blackfoot extreme is also based on this chassis but is only 2wd.
Greg B
Thanks Greg 😊👊🏻
Glenn in your opinion what is the best Tamiya 1/10 off-road car in the budget/beginner range?
Top channel mate.
Matt
Hey Matt,
For me that has to be the Manta Ray buddy 😊👊🏻
I had a Wild Dagger. Bought it in Sept 2000. Until today,the truck is still in good condition.
Yusman Jamil
Excellent 🤩👊🏻
All the bearing kits did miss a pair of bearings as I recall it. The pinion was made out of chocolate :-) All the parts from WT01 will fit as spare parts.
Michael Ekstrom
Thanks Michael 😎👊🏻
I had a wild dagger in 2002. A fun truck, but lacking in power in my opinion
Lukebourne99
Cool 😎
Thanks for watching Luke 👊🏻
I would love one of these but its theBlackfoot next for me.. I would like to see the upgrades done but then its easy to scratch up so it becomes a shelf queen.. really looking forward to seeing this one driving
adrian harrison
Blackfoot 🤩🤩🤩
Absolutely love that truck 🤩👊🏻
My wt01 chassis has severe death wobble in the rear suspension arms...its so bad it causes most of the suspension screws to back out lol. Have you seen anything like that?
viper 76
Oh wow that’s not good 😂
I’ll have to see how this runs 🤷🏼♂️
Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻
i had the blackfoot, same as the dagger, i tried it twin gearbox for a bit but never got a proper esc to drive it, also i fitted twin servo o it had rear steering, which could be turned off with the 3rd channel switch, i dont recommend it because it makes the rear wheels "floppy"
bittasweet symphony
Excellent thanks for the feedback my friend, it’s much appreciated 😊👊🏻
Hi Glenn, only problem I had with mine is steering servo mounts are not the best, someone made a 3d piece so it sandwich between each side of the chassis, four wheel steer is a waste of time done it went back to two, 3s way to go got a cheap esc for about a tenner of eBay with a fan runs excellent, don't waste your money on Ali parts, but then mine is a runner.👍
Marc Ford
Excellent Marc thanks for the feedback my friend 😊👊🏻
How are the motors connected? I am assuming there is no clutch so unless the motors are balanced surely it will pull the thing apart?
Gareth Cornell
No buddy, the motors run off a 3 speed mechanical speed control.
Thanks for watching 😊👊🏻
Cool. I've got a Sand Shaker on order at the moment, which I believe is the same body as this on the TT02T chassis.
Adrian Stevens
Excellent Adrian, I don’t know that model I’ll have a look 👀
Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
4 wheel steering conversion... hmmmm 🤔🦘🇦🇺
Outback RC Australia
Yeah I dunno 🤔🤷🏼♂️
Nice Truck Glenn. Would be great to see the 4 wheel steering mod. 👍
Gareth Roberts
Cheers Gareth 😊👊🏻
The Wild Dagger is a cool truck. I can't help but wonder how it would be with, I dunno, say two 4300kv brushless motors and a 3s LiPo strapped on each side of the chassis. 🤣. Will be looking great when it's finished. 👍
RC Hobby Shed
Yeah now that would be pretty insane Mick 😂🚗💨💨💨
@@TAMIYALegends Figured I'd put it out there, plant the seed so to speak. Who knows, maybe you'll get bored during this time at home and crave some insane RC action.😂🤣
If you find a good way of gluing the tyres please do a video as I made a right mess last time I glued tyres
Emaxxman Uk
Yeah I’ve not had much success recently 😬
Hi Glenn, alwaysed loved the wild dagger, are you going to get a Konghead, king yellow or dynahead in the near future
hendrahendra
Yeah there not really on my radar but yes hopefully in the future I’ll get one of them on here 😎👊🏻
Normally I only upgrade parts when I break them. But I think I would look great upgraded
Emaxxman Uk
Thanks man 😎👊🏻
wait city Chevrolet on a ford truck? wild man
mattallica0
Yeah I think so 😂👊🏻
The taller shock towers & shox are a must IMO. Would love to have a mint example one of these in my collection. Tiny Tom Cruise would love it!
Steve Moon
Thanks for watching Steve 😊👊🏻
If this was my truck, I would do minor upgrades. Put oil filled shocks on, full ball bearings, and better motors with a dual motor brushed esc like an EVX 2 or Hobbywing 881
David Jenkins
Thanks David, yeah I’ll get it painted and run it as standard first before I do anything.
Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
The real Tom cruise will fit in there though he might object to being epoxyed in place;) I do understand what you're saying about not doing easy fixes,forensic lab auto_topsy revealed the mind set/or lack of!!! I think in general that people are losing their ability to focus properly and actually use there brains instead of apps !!!:)
James Cunliffe
Well I couldn’t agree more with that James 👊🏻
I had this kit back in the day. I ended up swapping the motors an ESC out for two Trinity 17T motors and a Novak (Rooster??) ESC. It would scream. It also had bearings, oil filled shocks and the quick-release battery cover. I kinda wish I kept it.
John Olson
Oh wow John I bet that thing shifted 😎🚗💨💨💨
@@TAMIYALegends Yeah it definitely was no slouch!
Can’t wait to see that sticker set on that truck. It’s gonna be mental!
Andy Saliba
Thanks Andy 😊👊🏻
Where do people think Tamiya RC is rated these days? Back in the Late 80's it was in the Top two manufacturers but these days with the likes of Arrma, Losi, Team Associated, Traxxas, HPI and numerous Chinese Brands Tamiya doesn't seem to even make the Top 10 anymore. What do you think?
Tony H
I think it’s a great question Tony, I don’t have the answers but I might do some digging about to get some figures together 👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends thanks it would be interesting to know and also why people aren't rating Tamiya as much these days? Looking forwars to the Days of Thunder paint job 👊
wow that thing is amazing, i might try to find one!! instead of painting the wheels, have you ever tried to dye them?? i dye plastic parts all the time, just use some Rit clothing dye, works great. i recently did all the blue plastic's on a super clodbuster black, painted the body orange and all the blue just looked horrible, you really should try it.
bill cox
Cheers Bill, I thought only nylon plastic would dye?
It would definitely be easier I’ll look into it my friend 😊👊🏻
Love the Wild Dagger 😎👍🏻
RC Action Australia
Cheers Adam 😊👊🏻
Nice one. The wild dagger was my favourite Tamiya model. I’ve owned two of them. 👍🏼👊🏼 Tamiya legends please check your btinternet email, as I’ve shared something regarding this model with you. Cheers. 🍻
Synapse
Excellent I’ll check it now my friend 😎👊🏻
Cool video
First thing that sprung to mind is an extra set of front suspension arms + all related steering components to stick on the back?
James Cunliffe
Yeah that might be a future project 🤓👊🏻
You need alloy in your life and 4 wheel steering that would be epic keep up the great videos 👍
Patrick Sadler
Bling 🤩🤩🤩
Thanks for watching Patrick 👊🏻
When is part 3 coming ??? I just bought a WT-01 and put a vintage Nikko Toyota Hilux hardbody on it. Runs nice on 3s Lipo and 3000kv and some big bore shocks :)
Hey Glenn. What a find, lucky for you that all was ok with the front Gear box.
Personally I would go for all the bling, that chassis is shouting out for it.
Great film once again . Thank you. D. 😊👍🏻
Dave Pearce
Yeah could be the next Bling project 🤩👊🏻
The chassis kind of reminds me of my Blackfoot Extreme but with one motor. Are those related by any chance?
Can't wait for paint job. Just watched days of thunder at weekend.
Ryan Newby
Love that film Ryan 🤩👊🏻
There was tons of help back then for these. Got mine in 2001 and I was on Tamiyaclub.com and there was tons of advice I got for this. Mine is heavily modded but I have not taken it out for years and it needs a redoing. I put a couple of titan motors in it but I think I will upgrade them to brushless. Which means a new dual motor esc which I have no idea if they even make them for brushless motors these days.
What year did this car get released Glen?
tamiya frog
99 I think 🤔
You can also make it 4WDS
Bill OBrien
Yes I’m definitely going to have a look at that Bill 🤓👊🏻
Gears look same as in the CC01, even if both chassis so different.
vander82
Thanks for watching buddy 😊👊🏻
Great video, this model looks very similar to the Tamiya Baja Champ, the difference obviously being the tyres, chassis and the extra motor. I think the shock upgrade is essential with the longer shocks, it seems crazy that Tamiya restricted the full suspension limit. Your videos are very helpful, thank you!
I don't think it needs all the alloy parts but the shock mod sounds like a great idea 👍👍
mitymike 1996
Thanks buddy 👊🏻
The only drawback is that the tierod ends hit the bottom of the gearboxe when the suspension alloy shock towers are fitted, I have had to try and find a different servo saver that is not to tall ,I also sanded about 1mm off the servo mounts
I've seen a comment that Tamiya never actually used the name "WR-01", and that that name was made up by fans and hobby shops. I think Tamiya just called it the Wild Dagger chassis, since that was the first variant released.
Funny thing about those gearboxes in these kits: they come fully built up, so it seems someone in the Tamiya factory made a mistake screwing in the motor on the wrong pinion setting. It's either that or the previous owner opened the gearboxes up and made a mistake putting them back together. Great build, great result! Personally I'm going to build a new in box Twin Detonator in the near future that has all the suspension hop ups in alloy (cost about as much as the kit itself!) and 2 Sport Tuned Tamiya motors with the 20T pinions on. Can't wait to see that blasting through the garden. Keep up the good work, I will be watching many more of your vids!
I've run standard gearboxes and bearings in mine throw hell and it been awsome ...your making me wanna drag mine out the corner and sort it out .

Here is mine that is heavily modified. I just dug it out of a bin in the garage and need to do a complete teardown of it and perhaps a new transmitter and receiver to modernize it a bit. I might get rid of the alloy arms as they don't seem as sturdy as the stock ones. Guess I will decide that on the teardown.
I've got this truck, had it for years now, mine looks bit different to yours though. I put longer shocks on and changed the body for a landrover 110 from kamtec, with roof and headlights.
I would invest in a carbon or alu chassis it cost 50 to 100euro but it is worth it because the orignal is a weakpoint its to hard after a few jumps my first one Cracks i repaired it but a little time later it happened again. So i bought a carbon chassis for 60euro and New oil shocks it was nearly perfekt after this 100% better driving than before;) nowdays i need a body but no way to find one new iam looking since 2 years for one. But its good to see in your Videos someone who keep vintage cars alive.
Love days of thunder ...and love the wilddagger ...
It's going to look epic!! Hey mate👍
Mad-Bee RC & BB
Thanks buddy 🤩👊🏻
I’m interested in seeing how quick it is and how it handles. I didn’t realise it was a twin motor. That’s a nice pickup 👍🤓🇦🇺
Paul Garwood
Thanks Paul 😊👊🏻
It's actually 24 bearings. 8 in each box and 4 on each end.
It's a Blackfoot Xtreme with two motors....
What is the pros and cons of the wild dagger model
Just catching up on some of your previous vids. I picked up one of these (Twin Detonator) before Christmas in similar condition new built, never run, shell to finish. Tore it down checked it over & rebuilt it. Put 2x cheap goolrc 3900kv brushless motors on 2x esc & 2x 3300mAh nimh battery & made it 4 wheel steering. (You need untimed motors - but you knew this) It was heavy so fitted 4x GF01 alloy dampers & stiffened up the springs. Result - fast but undrivable with 4ws & broke the suspension mount on the gearbox due to the weight. Conclusion - add mods slowly! Lol. Now runs on 20t pinions 2x silver cans, famous dual esc & a 5000mAh nimh. So what to do next...?
Dremel out the battery bay for a lipo?
Crawler motors & longer spring mod & 4ws?
I watch you & nordicrc with interest!
Have you painted it already? Go with the yellow!
You can pick up white wheels from the Twin Det, I also found a 2nd hand set of gold chrome ones too. You know the Blitzer Beetle rear wheels are the same size right? You could use 2 sets of rear yellow stadium thunder wheels or white Stadium Blitzer ones. That might work! I have orange ones on mine to match the orange decals.
You can also fit the standard cva mini shocks on too which I have fitted currently.
Can't wait for the end result! All the best, Toby

TAMIYA Legends no time for your reply shinangans, get making the next vid. I’m getting a bit obsessed with this “not a out n out monster truck, just a big wheel truck! Need to see the finish and Tamiya better start making this again or I’m coming to Canada for yours!
I'd be interested to see how close the motors are in rpms at different voltages. Love the mellow yellow paint scheme!

I would just take the whole thing apart and put all together just in case.
