Mark Bryan RCIn this video we take a look at my latest project, the Tamiya TT02 red white and black special parts 1/10 RC Rally car. The main chassis components were graciously donated by my friend Peter Smith @cw-01creations46. I was also lucky to be sent a 3D printed chassis cover by my friend Mal @BasBoyRC. So I've assembled the chassis and have made modifications to improve it's rally performance - as we all know the suspension is the key to off road running so I go into detail about the mods and upgrades made to increase suspension travel, ground clearance and the smooth running of this popular Tamiya chassis.
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.Tamiya CC02 Ford Bronco Unbox & RC Chat!Mark Bryan RC2024-03-22 | Hi and welcome to this unboxing of my new Tamiya Ford Bronco 2021 on the CC-02 chassis.

I recently fitted an Absima Thrust Eco18 turn brushed motor. It's a budget, non-adjustable silver can for about £11. How much faster than stock will it be? 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!!!!Tamiya Hotshot Re-re Unboxing and Chat!

The 1/10 scale RC truck is almost stock, the only changes being a set of ball bearings and a Team Orion Super Stock 12 turn brushed motor. Oh, and the tyres have been replaced with stock Blitzer Beetle tyres. The battery is a 4500mAh 2S. I was hoping for a top speed near 30mph, what do you reckon?
Many thanks as always to my partner in crime, @robbrennanrc for braving the freezing weather conditions and recording the run on camera. At least the sun came out for us! Cheers!
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.

#tamiyarc #rcrallycarTamiya DT03 Aqroshot Unboxing and Best Hop-Ups!Mark Bryan RC2023-10-06 | In this video I unbox and chat about the best recommended hop-up options for the Tamiya Aqroshot RC buggy / short course truck on the fantastic DT-03T chassis. Joining me on the camera is my mate Rob @robbrennanrc who got this kit for me as a gift. He knows a lot about this chassis and added the best hop-ups to the kit he could think of.
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.

Tamiya TT02 Speed Challenge Run 10: 43mph+ @poorboysrcMark Bryan RC2023-09-29 | This is my 10th attempt (and most probably my last) at a top speed test for the Fil @poorboysrc Tamiya TT01 / TT02 Speed Challenge 2023. I'm entering the class for brushed motors and 6/7 cell NiMh batteries. My main focus is to beat that pesky Craig @theoagrc , he is now at 37mph and has a last run coming! I have another friendly challenger across the pond, Paul @Paul__FC who whooped my best speed with a 48mph run last time out. Well done Paul, no way can my setup match that! In this video I run my new LRP V10 Spec.6, 10x2T brushed motor but with lower gearing of 26/64, the rear wing removed and a 7 cell, 8.4v battery. Having hit 43mph on my last run, can I improve? It's not going to be easy! Many thanks to my mate Rob @robbrennanrc for the help and filming of this speed run attempt.

I shall be enjoying a good Birthday drink this evening, cheers!!!How to Detail the Tamiya Cockpit Set - Tamiya Lancia 037Mark Bryan RC2023-09-22 | So this is how I detail a Tamiya Rally Cockpit Set, part number OP1491. Using generic matte black spray paint for the most part and a mixture of Tamiya acrylics and artists acrylics paint for the Driver and co-driver figures. The handy fine black Sharpie pen comes in handy, as does a soluble acrylic pencil for the detailing. This is how I did the interior for the TA02s Tamiya 037 Lancia rally car, but the process is the same for any Tamiya rally car interior. I did a previous video about this cockpit but in this video I go into more detail about the processes I use. Many thanks for watching!Gravel Hound Day! Tamiya DF02 Restored as New - First Run!Mark Bryan RC2023-09-17 | Hi there and welcome to this First Run of the latest addition to my Tamiya RC collection, the awesome Tamiya DF-02 Gravel Hound. This kit was originally released in 2003 and a friend of the channel sent me an original, but restored example that is in concourse condition. So a massive thank you and shout out to Coryn for donating this wonderful RC buggy. Because the buggy is so immaculate, I only give it a very gentle run on grass for the camera. I hope you enjoy watching it all the same! Cheers!Pain & Gain!

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.
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+.Tamiya TT02 Speed Challenge Run 7: New 7 Cell Battery! @poorboysrcMark Bryan RC2023-09-01 | This is my 7th attempt at a top speed test for the @poorboysrc Tamiya TT01 / TT02 Speed Challenge 2023, many thanks to Fil for arranging a competition again this year.

So we took the mighty Tamiya Clod Buster and the awesome Tamiya Agrios TXT2 out for a run and threw them at some different terrain to see how they coped. Although the Clodbuster is a much older design it certainly held its own against the Agrios! I hope you enjoy the mayhem!
