Great video! if you need anymore info on the 201, just hit me up. European Champion in 2010, 2011 & 2012. 2nd place at World champs in 2013 with the XM mid motor prototype. Thanks for checking our the RC Cars that Rock video! more coming soon :). Lee Martin
Great find!! I've recently finished a DN-01 ZAHHAK with all the trf201 upgrades. Its one of the best handling rc buggies I've ever driven. Great video..👍
The XR & XM are add on kits for the 201 , the XR kit had the aluminum chassis with the motor over the rear wheels & XM made it a mid motor set for high traction tracks . Then I think it 201 xmv finally the 211 with the white chassis . Great video Glenn can't wait to see what she ends up looking like .👍
Great video, great car! I had two sealed kits and the exotek conversion kits that I ended up selling to two of my racing freinds. I needed money to buy two car seats for my kids. Later I ended up buying two of the 201 XMW chassis along with two TRF211XM conversion kits. They are still sitting in my closet factory sealed, LOL! I have a problem... at least that is what my friends and family say. Maybe I should make some vids and show my crazy TRF collection... I think I have them all, or darn near close.
yes I remember these being sold of dirt cheap like you and I tried to buy one but being Canada also I could not get it shipped, I was not happy.. cool vid and cannot wait to see that one on the track
Check to see if you have one of the weighted front bulkhead. They come with a different blue aluminum front brace. Great upgrade as it puts much needed weight on the nose. They came in 0 or 5 degree. The US kits came with body, wing, and wheels, but no tires. Also came with the blue aluminum motor mount. There were I believe 3 different motor mounts that were available. The white springs will have a small color dot on the bottom to signify their rate. I’ve had my trf201 since 2013, never raced it though, which is a real shame. Life kinda got in the way after buying it.
Really love the TRF201 and I still have one new sealed. Could you send over the details for Craig in the UK who paints the shells? I'm looking for get a few done. Thanks!
Wow, 190 euros? That's a fecking bargain dude!! I love the bodyshell, and that silver colour is rather sexy ;) Excellent video as always, looking forward to seeing it running!!
Awesome, I have one of these and I love it. It is very much a copy of the B4 in layout/concept (I have a B4 as well). I'd suggest leaving the hex drive on the back if you plan to drive it often/race it, it is a common mod that increases the amount of different wheels you can use. There is also a mod to put hexes on front for a more modern front end set up. These are a classic for those who love TRF's It took me a while to find mine, had to get help from a forum. Funnily enough I'd seen a few recently for sale....but I already have one now....
Hi Glenn, so happy to see you get one for your channel! Great video too! Quick notes, the blue motor plate, as well as the blue front suspension mounts are kit standard for this car. Apologies if anyone previously have mentioned that already. I can’t wait to see how it comes out! I’ve got a couple of these, and am a big fan. Cheers!
TAMIYA Legends Ah, I’m glad I wasn’t being redundant! I will add, there are a couple of different Blue motor plates. One that came with the kit that I thing was pretty solid on both sides, Another that has heat sink ridges machined into it (which I have on my 201). There might even be one more if my memory serves correctly. I’d have to look into it to be sure. Keep up the good work and that contagious enthusiasm!!
We are interested to see this going further as we have one waiting cleaning and refitting on our workbench. We hope to hit the International Race Grand Prix circuit in Kampenhout with it in the spring of 2021
Hey Glenn nice ride. I still have my 201 that I bought from Tamiya USA when they were practically giving them away. It really is a beautiful buggy. Looking forward to seeing how yours turns out man. 😉👍🏻
Cool! Im looking forward to seeing the end result. Im sure it'll be a proper bobby dazzler!!😄. Another great video, sir! Also, i see your subs are steadily going up. Awesome!!!😃👍
If you are wondering what the Patreon thing, that Glenn mentions at the end of his videos, is actually all about, it’s like those behind the scenes spin off shows that popular TV programs have. It has exclusive videos, real time build updates. It’s definitely worth a look if you are a die hard Legends fan 👍
Almost all 2wd competition buggy back in that day had tendency to eat corners of rear spoilers due to wheels contacting it. I had losi xxx cr, rc10b4 and x factory x6 and all of them had the same issue :)
Hi Glenn, great video as always! I might have found a TRF201 in good condition, the body is stuffed. Would you be able to point me in the right direction on where to get a replacement one from? Im in Australia. Cheers!
Great video, really big value to me, definitely following along your 2WD mission. I bought a TRF201 a couple months ago, it works but really needs a lot of restoring, very worn, I have no idea how many owners it's had... I got two bodies with it but both painted not to my liking, so I got a new body and wing ordered. I also have that forward cockpit body you mention, it's really cool looking, and as you said, it's got better space in the rear, the one you got there, not much space for an ESC. Lots of work to do on mine, hoping to have it ready for summer 2021.
I know it’s just an optical illusion but I could swear the front wheels/tires look larger than the rears - will be cool to see this one on the track for sure 👍
Great looking car, do the rear wheels need spacing out further to stop possible tyre rub on the wing? Or a change in wheel offset, as front wheels seem spaced wider than the rear👍
Hi Glenn, love the knowledge and passion you bring to your vids. I’ve got a Durga and a Zahhak that I am fitting with a tblm 10.5T and tble-03 esc (with the built in fan) each. Can I use a 7.4v lipo safely? Or will the esc explode?
I know someone who has front suspension arms constantly on order as a result of them snapping due to landing every jump nose down and bending them backward,wouldn't happen if it had something protruding past the front wheels,ie bumper lol even if it doesn't look cool! Worked out he'd spent more than the car was worth,ended up saying that they'd last longer if he drove 100 meters away into the brick wall !!! Was it the top cat that fixed this problem? I like the colour of the shell already but decals are lacking,not a fan of pink flames sorry if offended!:)
I’m not offended James 🤩 I know the TRF style seems to be very marmite to most people and I totally get it. This is the last two I’m doing like this, although my future Dynastorm and Top Force will be in those colours but in a totally different design. I’ve got fingers crossed they look as good as they do in my head 🤣👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends I like marmite but not spread an inch thick:) I like the paint on the new Russian su 57 fighter,like a blue shade transition to white edging in digital block,would look good on something with a bubble screen and narrow body!
TAMIYA Legends it definitely gives you more bite. As for the wing, seems it’s not back far enough. I believe they give options on how it is cut. Proline wing would work, it does resemble the B4.
I got the Zahhak for 110 and every hop up they had available at the time . Built it and still haven’t got around to running it yet . If you see a deal on tamiya USA and want it let me know I’ll order it and mail it to you .
Hi Glenn ! I have a Schumacher Courgar SV 2WD Buggy here with a custom paint job in really good condition. If you are interested in buying it, let me know...I don´t need it anymore. I am totally in love with the WLtoys 144001 at the moment and don´t need any 1/10 daily drivers anymore.
Yesterday i bought a Zahhak, the downsized version of the TRF201. The Zahhak is not so popular. Maybe because the bodyshell looks very ugly. My comes with TRF body. I also bought a set of TRF BigBore shocks for it. It is my first 2wd buggy. I hope he performes very well.
It was not so long ago they were peddled off dirt cheap. I saw one advertised about 2-3 odd years ago going for $125 on amazon. It was from tamiya USA, and therefore came with a body. AND Amazon were willing to ship for a reasonable cost to my neck of the rural woods in South Africa. So I bought one, along with some proline tires for it, and it arrived something like a week later. I had very little idea of what it was. When it dawned on me that it was a score, I tried to order another one. Except that now the price was revised to something like $505😮. To this day I have never built the thing though. It’s still in its box somewhere.
Every time I'm watching videos of Tamiya fans I'm wondering if I also would've ended up like that if my first (and last for that matter) Tamiya car wouldn't have been a Terra Crusher, which really turned me away from buying another Tamiya car.

Thanks Adrian I think it’s crazy Tamiya USA won’t ship to Canada 😤🤷🏼♂️
I know mate its strange for sure
Wow. Can't wait to see that shell sounds epic, & maybe once your secret supplier supplier is revealed ;-) I can pick one up for my Zahhak.
Hey Nick,
The shell is made by Team Azarashi my friend, Google that name with TRF201 on the end and you’ll find it 😊😊😊
@@TAMIYALegends will do. Ta. 😀

Thank you 😊

Cheers David 😎👊🏻
Great car! Interested to see the progress on this as I'm getting a Zahhak in a few weeks and I understand the DN-01 is based on the TRF201.
Excellent my friend, cool you’ve bagged a Zahhak 🤩🤩🤩
It's pretty much the same car (TRF201) with hop ups.
Cool! Im looking forward to seeing the end result. Im sure it'll be a proper bobby dazzler!!😄. Another great video, sir! Also, i see your subs are steadily going up. Awesome!!!😃👍
Thanks my friend 😎👊🏻

Yeah this one should look pretty trick my friend 🤩👊🏻

Sweet!!!!!!!! Damn finest 2wd buggy Tamiya has made. It is equal to my RC10 B3 or better!
Excellent Paul 🤩👊🏻

I know it’s just an optical illusion but I could swear the front wheels/tires look larger than the rears - will be cool to see this one on the track for sure 👍
Hmmm now I’m thinking the same 😂🤷🏼♂️
Love the lines on the current shell, curious to see what the new one looks like...
It’s just arrived from the painters and it’s completely different from the Tamiya shell, but me likely 😊😊😊
Wow its going to look great,😀😀😀
Thanks buddy yeah I’m looking forward to seeing this one finished 😊😊😊
So am I, can't wait,😀
The Zahhak DN-01, which looks like the same version, comes with that blue brace on the front.
Excellent thanks for letting me know 😊👊🏻
@@TAMIYALegends Just checked, it is basically a TRF201. Should make it easier to source parts, should you need them, with that still in production.

Yeah I remember that Tamiya USA offer at the time, what a bargain that was my friend 🤩👊🏻
Not that it probably matters in this case, but Lee actually won the Euros 2010 and 2011 with the TRF201.
Excellent thanks for sharing that 🤩👊🏻
Well if you are going to copy a car the B4 was the one. It basically dominated for about 5 years straight if i remember correctly.
So what are you going to do with the existing shell?
The one thumbs down comment doesn’t own one 😂
Team.... Azarashi? :)
Yes 😊😊😊

Yeah I kinda know what you mean, I’m a little different the Grasshopper was the first ever RC car i saw 🤷🏼♂️
Sad Tamiya dropped the TRF, the cars were legit
Well if you're going with all the two-wheel drive you still have to get the dt03.
They were selling them for $175 with 2 wings and bodies. Tamiya USA
Yeah that’s it, god looking back now what an absolute steal that was my friend 😊
that body come with the kit I mean if you had the kit first of all it's good looking body but I don't know if that's to my body?
I wish I could get a Zahawk.... For 160€...,😉
Yeah me too 😤
You might as well collect every trf they ever made since you're going in that direction just to say you have them all. Lol
People don't seem to realize that Tamia used to win races more often than they didn't back in the day decades ago.
You still need a DN 01 or otherwise known as zahhak.
You should be able to for free or very little money from Tamiya get the instructions for it.
