It's that time of year again, speed demons! Time for the Poor Boys RC Speed Run Challenge!!!
Last year was a total blast, and I really hope that every contestant comes back this year with their eyes on the prize! Bryce, I'm coming for ya!
This year we'll be racing the affordable and very customizable Tamiya TT-02. Be sure to watch the video to get all the rules, as this is a pretty open challenge, but there are some parameters we have to stay within.
Contest ends September 30th, 2023. So there's plenty of time for you to buy, build and start speed running your own TT-02. Be sure to tag me in all of your speed run videos so I can keep track of all entries.
If you don't have one already, be sure to check out www.e-rc.ca (Eliminator RC) and use coupon code: Poorboysrc to knock $15 off your already well-priced kit.

Very cool I have a tto2 laying around I might have to get in on this
Right on, it would be great to have you join in the craziness! 😉💨💨💨
Nice! Fun! 😊
There's still time to join in, if interested? 😉
it's all for the babes , most excellent Ted , most excellent Bill 🤣
A most triumphant comment.
Ooh I've got a TT-01E racing truck which I can put a car body on. I wouldn't go mad trying to win this but I'll have a go this year I think. Just need it to stop raining! Thanks for setting this up and good luck to all who enter 👍👍
Wicked, great to have you on board, Pete! Looking forward to seeing your times. 👊🏼
Time to figure out how to use my GPS.
Haha right on man, let her rip!!!
Nice man! Ive been speed running tt02s for a few years. 101mph soo far on 3s! Contact foam tires guys.
101 mph?!?! Holy crap, dude! That's bonkers! 🤣
@@poorboysrc just geared it up a little more today and ran it. 106mph. Ive been trying for a long time to get those kinda speeds with a tt02
Hi there Fil (I hope that's correct!) You might know I was helping Rob Brennan last year with his Luncherarri. Great fun was had! I'm toying with entering this one, I have a "spare" TT02 and a 15T brushed motor. Times are tight so can't afford to buy a load of kit for the challenge but think it might be a laugh to enter into the spirit of the speed run, I know it's not a serious competition, hey it's big boys playing with toys after all! It sounds like there might be a brushed motor category if I got that right?!?!?! Good on you for spreading the RC love! Take care and hope to put a video about this challenge soon! 😎😎👍👍
Hey Mark, (yes you spelled it correctly! Haha!), absolutely I remember you and Rob last year. You two had me in stitches laughing. Your commentary and banter was pure gold!
I'd love to have you enter in this competition! The more the merrier! I'm breaking it up into two categories this year, brushed and brushless, so feel free to enter your TT02, I'm sure it'll be plenty quick with that 15T motor!
I've got a new video set to air Saturday explaining the new rules. But for now, giv'er heck buddy!!! 👊🏼💨💨💨
@@poorboysrc Thanks Fil - you convinced me, I'm IN!!!!! 😜😁👍
@@MarkBryanRC yes sir!!! Wicked pal, I'm stoked that you're in! Put a little pressure on Rob, too! Haha! I'd love to see him turning out some speed runs. 🍻
Awesome! Thanks for hosting the challenge again! I'm throwing my hat in and looking forward to the competition. I have never built nor run a TT-02 so it will be interesting for me. I have some pretty hot brushed motors so might try out those first before moving on to brushless.
Yessss! Last year's winner is in the game! Can't wait to see your build up this year, Brice!
Ordering chassis kit today.. Bare bones I'm in.. This is going to be cool.. I got just the electronics for some fun..😎👍
Reit on, pal! Happy to have you in the challenge, it's shaping up to be a fun one this year! Good luck with your build and your top speeds! 👍🏻
@@poorboysrc Hey bud not a big deal but I'm not on the list, 😢
Time to dust off the Tt02 BRZ and get to work. :)
Woo hoo!!! TT02 Rally spec is in! Yesss!!! 💨💨💨🍻
Should extend the deadline we don't all have money to go out and get hop-ups right away,give us to the end of oct.
Hey pal, I'd love to extend it, but I'm having a hard time keeping up as-is, lol! I'll do it again next year, maybe we'll see your speed runs then? 🍻
Going to be fun fun fun!
Yes sir! Hopefully there's no casualties this year. 🤣🍻
I'm going to enter! I have a brushed RZ in mine, and I may just keep it in.
That's awesome, dude. Welcome aboard! 👊🏼
oooh. Im going to have to get in on this one 👍
Haha, perfect! Welcome aboard! 👊🏼
Sounds like a fun idea, will see if i have a TT-01 or TT-02 to sacrifice 🤣
Haha right on bro, thanks for joining! 💨💨💨
Sweet!! can't wait to see the mods 😁
I'm gonna get working on it today! Woo hoo!!! 🍻
Challenge accepted! Although I am not sure I will compete with the Brushless 3S LiPo crowd with my brushed nihm packs but let’s see how we get on! Maybe like Rob and his Luncherarri this will be the speed run challenge that keeps giving!
The Luncherrari! Hahaha! Man, those two are hilarious! Looking forward to your entries, my friend! And thanks for participating! 👊🏼
Fair play to you Craig..... this is guna be FUN!!
Green Hawks crew could well be in as well..... just waiting to hear back from moo moo to see if she is willing to sacrifice her TT02 Mustang for the project..... she hates that car anyway! 🤣
👍 👍 👍 👍
@@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC yeah baby! Got the yodadarkside crew in on this one! 👊🏼
@@yodadarksideGreenHawksRCgot to be done mate! Let’s go!
Missed out on last years, have a few tt-02's I can rebuild for this. 😎
Yeaaaah baby!!! I was hoping you'd join in the fun! 😁😁😁
Nice challenge! I'm too late this year but maybe next year. Subscribed! Keep on racing 🐄🤣
Wicked, dude! Thanks for the sub. We'll be speed racing again next year! 👊🏼
Yeah man. That sure sounds fun. Got way Too many projects going right now. But I will definitely be checking out all the fun.. :)
Right on, thanks for watching! 🍻
Great video
Thanks Mike! You wanna join in the challenge this year?
@@poorboysrc probably not. Love to do donuts on baseball diamonds
You know what's realy poor watching U rc guys. Having fun .
Come on and join in, there's still a few weeks to go!
@@poorboysrc our rc shop in holland don't have replacemend part or upgrade parts for tt-02. Have to wait for of minimal of sic weeks for minimal. Most of time i got it after 3 to 6 Mounth. Now I have to wait up to a year . So for me it's a no go.
Nice . Subscribed 👍🏻
Nice, dude. Welcome aboard! 👊🏼
Yessss!!!!😃 This is going to be awesome mate👌. I hope you get the same contenders as last year and more. It was such a great fun challenge last year and now on an even better chassis that's not worth mega dollars👌.
Thanks for running your challenge mate, I hope you guys are well👍🦘🇦🇺
I hope so, too. Last year was a ton of fun, this year should be just flat-out silly. Haha! 🍻👊🏼
I'm up for it.
Decided not to enter until I had a respectable speed recorded.
Had a 40.6 mph run today on budget brushed 7 cell, with a cheap build. Need to gear up now to get more speeeed!
Nice done, my man!!! Thanks for coming on board. 👊🏼
@@poorboysrc Cheers, up to 45.7mph now, but need taller gearing to go any faster.
Looks great fun . Looking forward to seeing the results 😊👍
Thanks for watching! 🤙
Gonna have to take the Tt02 Impreza off the shelf and enter the speed run challenge😅
Yeaaah baby!!! 💨💨💨💨💨
Very cool 😎 looking forward to seeing what you come up with !
I don't have a tt02 or tt01 so I'm out but will try to keep in touch .
Absolutely having fun is the one and only thing important!
Thanks for watching, my friend! 👊🏼
Dang, I’m out this year, don’t have one of these. Can’t wait to see the videos though
Oh no, that's too bad! I bet Tower Hobbies has them on sale pretty cheap... 🤔👊🏼
@@poorboysrcthanks to one of my awesome subscribers, we’re in with a TT01E
BadASS looking car brother!
Thanks bro! The decals almost killed me, lol! 🍻
Most excellent challenge matey!!
Last year's CWO1 challenge was such an entertaining series.... especially as lots of my favourite channels entered!
Hopefully us at Green hawks rc should be up for the challenge this year..... just got to clear it with the other guys first, and make sure they are willing to sacrifice their TT02! 😬
Just digging through my motors and ESC's as we speak...... this is guna be carnage!! 🤣
👍 👍 👍 👍
Y
He'll yeah, My Yota Dude. The dark side is upon us. As Yoda said, "do or do not, there is no try." I'm certain, you'll walk out the champ! 😁👊🏼🍻
@@poorboysrc
😂😂😂😂
Brilliant mate, that made me chuckle!
'Dark side forces are strong'.....
But, we certainly won't be winning dude! 😬
We all know that the good guys always win.... and if you have seen any of our running videos, you will know that they always end in carnage!!
But hey, we will be joining in anyway, for the fun if nothing else! 😉
👍 👍 👍 👍
Nice. I'm down. Just found out about this challenge but already have a head start. Been doing a TT02 McLaren speedrunner since April. No official runs yet but already getting 70mph in less than 600' on 3s geared 45/45 with Mamba X/2280kv.
Nice, dude. Welcome aboard!
Not quiet sure yet. If I'll get this into my schedule, I gonna enter with my TT-01E Iron truck (brushed section)🤔
Hey brother, great to see you considering coming on board! I was wondering if you'd get the itch, haha. I've been reading your comments on all the other guy's videos. Jump on in, my man, plenty room for more action! 💨💨💨
@@poorboysrc thanks. First I didn't recognize the 01s are aboard. And then there're othe projects/videos in progress yet. Later I'll go into the cellar, think there's a body in spare. The truck would produce too much drag. Right now I'm searching for a GPS speedometer. Man I'm on fire, wife's not so😉
@@RCBirds Wait until she sees the speed runs, then she'll melt in your hands. Lol! 🤣
Guess I need a go pro now because im gonna gave to participate in this.bout to go run mine right now!
Yeah man, love it!!! GoPro, smart phone, whatever you got! Let's see that TT rip! 😁
@@poorboysrc I use my phone for my gps app soo I dont know how id film that while filming with my phone. Lol
Hi there, a very nice challenge. It’s a shame, I’ve got the TT-02 spec car, already built, but unfortunately I don’t have a speed meter, they’re quite expensive for what they are and don’t know which one to buy, as some bicycle unit speed meters, don’t always grab the satellites. Anyway, I’ll watch. Best wishes and good luck 😊
I picked mine up on Amazon last year, and if I remember correctly, it was only like, $30 CAD. Grab one and join in the fun! 💨💨💨
If you have an old cell phone that can download apps just delete everything and put a speedometer app on it and tape it to the chassis, a little heavier but more accurate than a bike speedo I've found.
I'll give it a try. Thanks for doing this. Sounds like it's going to be fun! @TheRCGarage
Awesome, man. Welcome aboard! 👊🏼
I’ll probably enter for the first time this year. Not likely to be a serious speed challenge threat but the F1 Safety Car build in progress would be a fun tangent if this was an in person challenge. 😊
Just like your name says, it's all for fun! Glad to have you on board! 🍻
My boy has a tt02. I'll see if he wants to challenge himself 👌
All are welcome! 💨💨💨
AWESOME! just found your channel, wish i knew about the speed run challenge! would of loved to join in.. any hint on what frame the 2024 challenge will use? i was actually thinking of doing something similar to this, but on the budget side..restricted to 2S...
Right on dude, welcome aboard! Glad to have ya! The 2023 SRC was a great one! 124 mph TT01 says it all, lol! 💨💨💨
2024 is still top secret, hidden well in the Poor Boys vault. Hahaha. I'll give everyone 4-6 weeks of prep time (so you can purchase, build, and get to know the car if you don't already have one). And the contest runs for 8 weeks, so you've got lots of time to get runs in, break, repeat. I hope to see you there next year! 🍻
Hey there, nice videos, I love the content! Is there going to be a Speed Run Challenge 2024? Would love the challenge again for the TT01 and TT02!
Yeah, we're definitely doing another Speed Run Challenge this year, but it'll be on a different chassis. We change the chassis every year. It'll be announced at the start of July, that way entrants have time to buy the chassis, get used to driving it, mods, etc... Then the SRC runs from August to the end of Sept. Stay tuned for more details! 😉
@@poorboysrc ah damn! I was excited to enter with a TT01 and a TT02. Can you share which brand is it going to be? :
@braco222 not yet, pal. I'll make the chassis announcement in about a month, so stay tuned! 👍🏻
Sounds like fun. Challenge accepted! Greets from Germany 😊
Ah, nice. Another representative from Germany. Welcome aboard!
Damn I’ve got to get my skates on for this one…I race TT01e at my local club (asphalt track) so have got a great car that only needs a brushless heart transplant 😂
There ya go, man. You're pretty much there! Hope to see some entries from ya.
@@poorboysrc count on it mate 🫡👌...now if you don't mind, I'm going to nosey around your back catalogue 😆👍
Hope you do not mind but I will be a late entry if my GPS arrives in time. Just going to see what My TT-02 will do stock and what old motors I have and some are old :-) Just got to work out how to tag.
All good pal, all are welcome. Just hit @poorboysrc in the description box, and boom, I'm tagged. Best of luck with your times!
@@poorboysrc Thanks 🙂
Darn, I got to get my TT02 ready for this challenge. We talked about it on my Live RC Talk tonight and a bunch of us will join in.
That's awesome, dude. Thanks for spreading the word, and for joining in the fun! 💨💨💨
Okay, okay... arm twisted... I guess I am modding a TT02 to go warp speed now! LOL!! If I could keep the Lunch Box from exploding and got some decent speed out of it this should be interesting! No that I have said that I will probably stuff it into a curb on the first run but it should be a fun challenge!
Hahaha yeah brother! Glad you're back on board! Thanks for putting in your best, I know you're gonna slay it! 👊🏼
I got the same car as you im doing some mods to it now and hope to get a run in this weekend
Right on man, looking forward to it. 💨💨💨
Well I'm pretty much ready to go. I built a tt02r last year for speed runs but kept destroying tires once I went above 50mph. Castle brushless motor/ hobbywing esc on 3s. I'll have to dial it in and try and get a good run on video. 👍
Right on, welcome aboard! What kind of tires were you running? I've got a couple different sets I'm gonna try today.
@poorboysrc I was using different tamiya compounds and they all blew up lol. I ended up getting gravity rc usgt premounted wheels and tires. They come preglued, you can get them on amain. My servo died last time I was out and I only got to test them once, but they seem pretty good.
@@steelcityrc133 blew up? That's too funny! Well hopefully mine hold up, I have a feeling they're not gonna cut it though. Haha. 🍻
Yeah, man, I'm in! September is way better than October, ha ha! I got my own speedrun project I need to get out of the way first, and it's still like 4 weeks away, so I need to take it easy until then... NOT! While I do have a TT-02, it's a buggy... So I need to get me a few things and stuff, smaller wheels, shorter arms and axles, and a suitable body, it'll be really cool, I can't wait! Which is why I'll start on Monday... But brain starts now, ha ha! (I'm definitely not going to win...)
Yes, Mads!!! Can't wait to see what you bring to the table! Hopefully no smoke and fires this year. Haha! 🍻
@@poorboysrc ha ha, yes, old Holmes went up in smoke...
I posted link to your video in the TT-02 group I am in, and I'll post to another Facebook group also...
I'll try have a short video up today or tomorrow where I officially accept your challenge, I also just ordered me a new kit, seemed like a better idea than just select parts to revert to non-buggy version... And a few upgrade parts too...
@@madsrcbuggy good stuff, Mads. Glad to have you on board! 🍻
Now I’m going to have to buy another car!…..glad I found your Chanel….. subbed!!
Right on, welcome aboard! I just had a look through your videos and subbed ya back. Looks like you're no stranger to going silly-fast! Haha! Can't wait to see your times! 🍻💨💨💨
@@poorboysrc awesome man… I appreciate that…. I do love a challenge so this is right up my alley…. I’ll post and see if any of the Al-917 guys that are out want in on this…. Looks like a fun challenge!!
Is there a big difference between the tt01 and the tt02…. One better than the other I mean?
@@Rcprescription that's awesome dude, thanks! The more, the merrier! 🍻
@@Rcprescription I'm no expert on the platform differences, but from what I've read, the TT02 is the updated version of the TT01. There are many versions of the TT02, from simple, stripped down entry level kits, to fully ball raced, CVA ready kits. There's tons of mods available for both platforms, too! Hope that helps!
You should get a drag car
I thought about it a couple of times now. 😉
Awesome challenge buddy👍👍 Question: is this a single entry comp or as many entries until dead line date? New to your channel and found out about challenge last night on Tank rc’s live! Already started working on getting my ol’TT-02 ready😂 and looking forward to participating! 👍👍
Hey dude, welcome aboard! And thanks to Tank's RC for sending you over! -- You've got until Sept 30th to get your speed runs in. Enter once, or enter twice a day, whatever you want. Top speed wins! Two classes, brushed, and brushless. Ze rules are in the vid. Best of luck, amigo! 💨💨💨
can you use any body ? or should you stick to a tamiya body ? as we all know bodies make a huge difference !
You can use any body you want! Totally up to you. 👊🏼
Are tt02 based carbon chassis kits included?
Yes sir! 🍻
I have 65 mph tamiya's but they are buggies! ugh! ..maybe i'll enter my man truck it does 50 plus still on stock gearing lol
That's the spirit! I'd love to see a Man truck doing 50! Haha! 🍻
@@poorboysrc many older videos on my channel of it
Sounds like a fun challenge 🙂 you have a deadline?
It's gonna be a good one this year. The action is already getting good! All your answers can be found here:

Challenge accepted. I all ready have everything I need just need to put all the proper stuff in place
Roger that man can't wait to see tour times
@@poorboysrc I got a tt02srx and 3.5 turn motor from my drag car. I'm sure to get at least 80
Phil you didn't elaborate on the shocks?
I must've edited that part out accidentally. I'll show you guys why they're so terrible in an upcoming video. They're not even true oil filled shocks. The piston doesn't have any holes in it, and there's no oil in the shock body. Just a little grease, so the shaft slides smoothly. 🤦
When does the 2024 speed run season start?
Chassis is announced in July, then the SRC starts Aug 1 and ends Sept 31. I'll have an entire video series to announce things, so stay tuned for that. You can also join the Facebook group for all the latest updates! 😀

Perrrrfect! Welcome aboard, my man! 💨💨💨
@@poorboysrc Do you have any recommendations on a good GPS unit for the run? I’ll have to pick one up

Challenge accepted. Brushed competition. How do I sign up? Just make a vid and tag you?
You got it. Make a video, tag me in it, and you're in! 👊🏼
Is the skyrc gps with no screen acceptable?
I'm not familiar with it? Can you send me some more info? Poorboysrc78@gmail.com 🍻
Ok, New sub here, came over from Craig's channel; The OAG RC. I'll give it a try. Still not sure what a tag is or how to do it.. Isn't it just like typing your channel name?
You just gotta use the @ symbol in the title and put Fil’s channel name in. Should come up as you are typing pal
Welcome aboard, glad to have you! And cheers to Craig for sending you over. 👍🏻
Ok. I'm in. Seriously though where do you draw the line on customizations? Any body? Plastic tub chassis? Or are TT-02 specific upgrades ok? How large a foam tire that is meant for on-road are we allowed to run? As long as it's 3s is the only restriction? I'm asking, cause I like to build some pretty crazy cars.... my best with a TT-02 is 85mph on 2s so far.
Right on, welcome aboard! Yeah any body is OK, all TT02 upgrade parts are OK. Buggy tires are against the rules, so as far as your foam tires go, keep them the standard 1/10 scale size (65mm, I believe?). 85mph on 2S is insane, dude! But ya, the cap is 3S.
I'll have lots more videos coming out with the speed runs, so feel free to ask any questions. 👊🏼🍻
@@poorboysrc Great! Thank you! Making the switch to smaller tires offsets the move up to 3s. I'll to get a carbon chassis car going down the road too. I noticed in comments they'll be a brushed motor class as well. Also 3s? Forgive me if I'm a little too excited and yappy about this. This is right in line with what I normally build (Tamiyas).
@@craziestmonkey hahaha all good pal! Yeah I've modified the rules a little bit to level out the playing field. I'll explain fully in my upcoming video, Saturday. But basically: 2-3S lipo with brushless motors (category #1), and 6-7 cell nimh or nicad with a brushed motor (category #2).
This should give all entrants a fair crack at winning the title, and prize! 🍻😉
@poorboysrc Sounds good! I've got plenty of parts around so hopefully I get to building something for both classes. Cheers!
@@craziestmonkey both classes, right on dude! Best of luck with your builds! 🍻
silly question but how do i enter? thanks
All the answers are in the video, my friend. Just watch, record, tag. BAM, you're in. Looking forward to seeing your times!
Who can enter?
Contest is open to everyone! Just follow ze rules, and have fun! 👊🏼
Don't forget to peel the body shell before you put apply the decals 🤣
Oh my gawd, could you imagine?!?! I'd lose my s**t!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Just so happens I got a TT-02 about 2 weeks ago. I think I'd like to enter this competition, but I have a couple questions. May I Email you or should I ask here?
