Great to have you this year! See you soon again!

Nice speed, on the seafront, with the sun as background 🤩 The handling of this car is a mystery, maybe oil shocks ? Hopefully it will be easier next year. Can't wait to see the Cooper M05 project. Take care 👏🤝

Nice work slowly getting there but it's not as easy as it looks to go faster. I'm running a tamiya TZ motor a 63t pinion and 25 spur gear and it's a lot faster. I have a 31 and 33T but yet to try as I need to get a speed meter first.

Such a shame you didnt break 30. Some didn't have many issues yet others spent most of the time on their roof! Looking forward to the CC02 and M chassis stuff. I'll be doing those throughout the winter too. I hope to keep one of my speed run cars and push it to see what I can get with it like you have with the TT02. Cheers for now 😊

It was a pleasure watching your videos

You would probably gain more top speed if current wasn't passed through a Tamiya battery connector. If you have a non contact thermometer, read the temperature of the battery connector vs it's surroundings after a couple passes. It's going to be much warmer, heat is wasted energy. This drains your battery quicker as well.

Great work, Ian. Those motors seem to be quite popular with racers these days.

That´s awesome. i tried it too. different Motor´s and gearing. now i´m using the 68T * 20T gearing, with an old school Motor. it´s a Kyosho Atom Smasher 12 Turn Motor. Rpm by 1Volt is 5200. ^^ so with 2s Lipo (8,4 Volt) it has an Idle Speed of over 40.000 RpM ^^

Catching up on vids. good stuff brother.. 👍🤙

Nice..... Great movement.. thanks for sharing 👍🤙

Ftx 20t 540 motor on 3s 😊

There are so many things you can do to make it handle better, its a great chassis and endless fun.

Great looking mate I'm thinking of doin the same, what the did you use frog tape

Nice work, any improvement is good! Like Mark said I'm sure there is a 30 in there with that setup. I'd be tempted to jump to a 25 or 26t pinion as that's the biggest you can go without gearbox mods and should give at least mid 30's without too many issues.

WHATS UP SIR!!!! Getting dark there too I see.

That's a great speed increase but I'm sure it would crack 30 if you had been able to get another clean run in! Good job though, at least you know the motor is up to the job! :D

I got the 3° towing uprights and it made a huge difference for stability

29 sounds really high won’t your motor overheat?

Curious, what is the Poor Boys Speed Run Challenge? Can anyone compete?

oh wow you have found a great motor there. And it went really smooth, no wobbly driving what is the pinion/spur ?

I use a 1080 hobbywing standard Tamiya motor with standard gearing with race bearings and a 5500 120c 3s 😊 I will be upgrading to oil shocks and alloy steering next week. I have just subscribed so I will look forward to future videos.

This looks great, spectacular. I need to ask please because ive never painted an abs hard body shell rc car , but what preparation is needed? Specifically priming and scrubbing the body shell? Ive painted smal 1/24 and 1/25 scale model cars made from abs plastic years back and mostly used Tamiya paint and got beautiful results. But i didnt ever prime or undercoat them.

Gaining speed! Great Job!

Great Run!

Nice job, Ian!

Don't rush to go brushless. Once you do, you'll never want to go back, and that'll be a shame... Enjoy the brushed challenge while you're there. There's quite a bit more you can do to get it going faster.

Good stuff, mate. More gearing will liven it up.

Nice to see a bump in speed with the upgraded motor! Looking forward to the next run!

Nice improvement! Looking good

Nice! Great jump in speed…looking good!

4mph gain.. Nice!

Good work. I'm sure there are many pinion gears in your future. Doing great, watch your temps.

Congrats to,the improvement.

Good little increase there, changing one thing at a time is a good idea 👍

Do yourself a favour and get rid of the Tamiya battery connectors. They are like in line resistors, use deans or xt60 connectors.

I just put a suoer stock TZ with a 25t pinion. I have no idea what the speed is I no GPS but it's a lot faster than the tourque tune.

Hey I did wonder why Taylor Swift was on the thumbnail for a speed run 😂 I think that you got the best deal with the Sand Scorcher and a speed run in a windy car park. Nice run and I think that motor can cope with some higher gearing. Great vid 😁👍

Great jump in speed, Ian! And how about that Sand Scorcher?!?! Tay Tay's got nothin' on that classic! :)

Nice improvement.

That's almost as fast as my first open run. Great Job! Car looks great.

Still improving, that's the spirt. Keep on keeping on dude.😊😊😊

Nice little ramp up in speed there! I got those gears too. Loving the Sand Scorcher! Good luck with the next motor. :D

good improvement though. Took mine apart to change the motor and forgot how small the original pinion is.

Doesnt matter if its 160 mph or 16 mph a speed run is a speed run, fun, clean and runs smoothly. Doesn't get better than that.

Nice video my friend ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ A very creative idea ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I look forward to seeing your designs. Congratulations on your journey forward

That body has pretty good aerodynamics. I also use one on my TT02 speed runner! 👍

Keep away from those pesky curbs 😆

You have no chance on speed run challenge as been some really fast speeds to date over 50mph

First comment??? Good luck on that run!

Talking tyres - I have a number of TT-02 speed runners, I run Corally Attack Foams on all mine. So far they've been good to 185Kph.
