The main modifications to the car in this video are listed below:
Tamiya red Hard chassis
Tamiya Super Mini CVA shock absorbers fitted with longer Mini CVA stainless shafts
Modified lower suspension arms
Modified front and rear uprights
Modified steering links
Full ball bearing upgrade - Check out rcbearings.co.uk
Absima Thrust Eco 15 Turn brushed motor
14T limit Etronix brushed ESC running a 4200mAh Zeee 2S LiPo
20T hardened pinion gear with stock 68T spur gear
Tamiya AW Grease in the differentials
3D printed chassis plate to block off webbing in the chassis and prevent steering lock-ups
Here is a link to the supplier I use on eBay for the stainless hex screws. ebay.co.uk/itm/181024489629
They are the cheapest I've found - about £3 for 50 M3x10mm button head screws! And a pack of 100 is only a few pence more. Free postage. They don't do packs for Tamiya kits, you just have to buy M3 screws of different lengths to match the length of the ones in the kit. I buy packs of 8mm, 10mm, 12mm and 15mm screws and just use the Tamiya ones if any longer screws are needed.
This chassis goes together very differently to most modern Tamiya kits and there are some important things to look out for. This video focusses on the build of the dampers (shocks) and attaching the front and rear gearbox assemblies to the chassis tub covering build manual steps 15 to 24. I hope you enjoy the build and the odd tip thrown in here and there - Cheers!
About the Tamiya Hotshot
The Hotshot, released in 1985, is a milestone as the first Tamiya 4 Wheel Drive chassis and the forefather of many similar chassis to come. The front and rear suspension both have single shocks and double wishbone system. The rear damper connects to the wishbones through a relatively complex lever system. The Hotshot chassis evolved during production, and was re-released in 2007 where the chassis has received a lot of smaller changes compared to the vintage ones.
Another massive thank you to @RCJunky for donating these kits to our channels!
Of course a massive shout-out to RC-Junky, pop over and give him a sub! Cheers!

Also, my awesome friend, Rob @robbrennanrc heard I was doing this speed test so he gatecrashed with his XV-01 with a 2008 Subaru Impreza WRC body fitted and an upgraded motor, the HPI Firebolt 15T budget silver can, about the same price as the Absima. On paper, the lower 15T should be faster... but is it?
Lets find out!!!!

I've had my Tamiya XV-01 Lancia Delta 1/10 RC rally car for about 6 years and it's still bone stock! But now it's time for some routine maintenance, a few Tamiya Hop-Ups and some extra power!
So in this video I take you through the process of adding the upgrades and a chat about what benefits they will hopefully have for this outstanding Tamiya rally chassis!
Many thanks to my good friend Craig @theoagrc for sending me some of those excellent Tamiya Hop-Up parts! Cheers!
Also in the video we chat about a Tamiya XV-01 project I have on the go for an upcoming video and as usual there is plenty of joking around from me and my good mate Rob @robbrennanrc , many thanks for being on the camera again my friend!
I've had my Tamiya Blitzer Beetle for about 7 years now and it's been thoroughly used and abused, but loved, too! So I think I'm in a good position to highlight the good, the bad and the ugly points about this RC kit in this, the first of my series of long term RC car reviews.
If you have any particular questions about this model, please feel free to ask them in the comments below. Which Tamiya RC car or truck would you like to see reviewed next?
About the Tamiya Blitzer Beetle:
A powerful electric radio control car assembly kit with a custom body and large diameter tires that mimics the style of the Volkswagen Beetle "Baja Bugs" that participated in off-road races set in the desert.
*1/10 scale R/C assembly kit
*Durable resin body is molded in Black and comes with side mirror parts.
*Driver figure included.
*The tough, lightweight ABS bathtub chassis features a rear-mounted motor, rear-wheel drive layout
*4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension is equipped with C.V.A. oil filled shock units and extremely durable monocoque-type lower arms.

If you haven't already, pop over to their channels and take a look, you won't be disappointed!
So Rob and I have been running our channels for quite a while now, creating videos about our (mainly Tamiya) RC hobby. Now we welcome the chance for you to submit ideas for the content you would like to see on our channels. Don't be shy, all ideas are welcome and will be gratefully received!
Please comment below - cheers! 🍺😎👍
Craig of The OAG RC had organised the build of this buggy for a very deserving charity. The finished DT-02 will be raffled off for one of you fantastic viewers to win and all proceeds will go to the selected charity. It's an amazing prize so I hope you all keep an eye on Craig's channel for details of how to enter the raffle - coming soon!
15 excellent RC YouTube channels have donated parts towards the build, and the buggy will be available to win including all electronics and radio gear!
Many thanks to the following channels for their generous donations:

About the DT-03 T kit:
This assembly kit R/C truck features a stylish body inspired by U.S. stadium racing trucks. Made from lightweight and durable polycarbonate, it features a rear wing, and can be decorated using the flashy markings included in the kit. The chassis provides suitably dynamic driving fun, and is mounted with front and rear wheels of differing offset, mounted with radial semi-pneumatic tires.
The stylish slimline form of this chassis stems from its lightweight yet durable monocoque frame, which features a longitudinally-positioned battery and the R/C equipment along the centerline for excellent balance. The combination of a long 287mm wheelbase and 4-wheel double wishbone suspension married to CVA oil dampers with long arms at a 25-degree attachment angle, allows the model to handle with stability on poor surfaces. The rear-positioned gearbox is sealed to protect from dust and dirt, with the built-in differential gear offering smooth cornering.

Driving the buggy was shared by me and my pal, Rob @robbrennanrc and the filming was me with my trusty GoPro Hero 7 Black.
The Wild One is stock except for ball bearings.
I did most of the filming of this one with my GoPro on a stick. The driving was done by my mates Rob @robbrennanrc and Dom @rc-dom-uk , you can get a glimpse of them at the end of the video! Thanks guys for a great day out!
This is the first video I have edited using Microsoft Clipchamp. I'm still learning how to use all the controls. The colour adjustments and the slomo rendering is actually pretty good, what do you reckon?
The Subaru Brat is totally stock except for ball bearings and a Tamiya Torque Tuned motor.
This set is one of many that are available for the Lunchbox and other RC car kits from the website stickerlicker.co.uk
The sticker kit was an awesome Birthday present from my good friend Peter Smith @cw-01creations46 so a massive thanks to him!
So I open the box and have a good look at the contents - all I'll say is that it's something very Tamiya and something definitely to be treasured by yours truly!
A massive thanks to Bob and many thanks to you for watching! Cheers!
#tamiyarc
The LED set was sent from Peter Smith @cw-01creations46 , many thanks! The LED set is from 3Racing and is called "RC Car Flashing Light". The LED kit comes with a control box and 12 individually wired LEDs as follows:
3mm orange LEDs x 4
3mm white LEDs x 2
5mm white LEDs x 4
5mm red LEDs x2
The control box is connected to channel 1 and 2 of the receiver via the provided 3-wire "Y" connectors. You can see a demonstration of the functions of the LEDs at the end of the video.
Thanks for watching!
The tyres came with my recent Hyper-Go H14BM and were a perfect fit for the TT02B. The buggy was a ton of fun with these tyres and made a good go of clearing away those leaves and sounded awesome on the harder surfaces! I hope you enjoy the run, as you will see the dog enjoyed it anyway!
Many thanks to @robbrennanrc for his help with the filming! Cheers!

Hello and welcome to this build of the UGEARS Dream Cabriolet VM-05. It's an ingenious 735-part wooden model made of sustainable plywood that fits together without glue. There are many moving parts and the model is powered by an elastic band motor. I focus on the trickier parts of the build and show the model in motion at the end of the video. I also include a brief review of the kit.
I did focus part of the video on the building of the functioning V8 engine complete with working crankshaft, and the fitting of the working gear selector mechanism, which is important to get right.
For more information visit their website: ugearsmodels.com/?utm_source=MarkBryanRC&utm_medium=yt&utm_campaign=infl
Unlike models with simple static displays, each UGEARS model is capable of a unique range of self-powered movement, using rubber band motors and fascinating systems of gears, flywheels, weights and gravity. There are no batteries or cords—these machines work all on their own! And there are over 90 models to choose from!
Every UGEARS model embodies simple engineering principles that make assembly and play an exciting, educational game, bringing you hours of pleasure and fun.
Made of art-quality plywood, each model assembles easily without the need for glue or special tools. UGEARS model kits arrive at your door with everything you need for assembly right in the box. All steps of the assembly are described in color diagrams and detailed, step-by-step instructions in 11 languages (English, German, French, Polish, Spanish, Ukrainian, Russian, Italian, Japanese, Chinese and Korean). Customer service is available 24/7, with spare parts provided and shipped free of charge.
The models shown in this video are rated by the manufacturer as for ages 14+.
In this video I run the LRP V10 Spec.6, 14x2T brushed motor and raised gearing of 27/64, and try out a new 7 cell, 8.4v battery! But will the new battery out-perform my old Awanfi 3600mAh NiMh?!?!?!

Mtroniks Trident XT-12 brushed ESC
YEAH Racing alloy motor mount
ball bearings
oil CVA shocks
alloy propshaft
22/64 gearing
In this video I run both the Core RC 15T brushed motor and the Absima Thrust Eco 15T motor - can I break the elusive 30mph barrier?
Many thanks to my mate Rob @robbrennanrc for the help and filming of this speed run attempt. Also, many thanks to Craig @theoagrc for sending me the Schumacher Contact foam tyres and wheels, what a star! You can see how the TT02 does on the foam tyres at the end of this video. And finally, many thanks to Peter @cw-01creations46 for donating the Core RC 15T motor, cheers, Peter!
