I have always loved RC cars with great scale realism and one of my early purchases was the Tamiya Mercedes-Benz 190E Evo II AMG model based on Klaus Ludwig's DTM car. It has a superb body with injection moulded parts such as the front grille and rear wing to add extra detail. I also liked the fully detailed cockpit with driver figure. The chassis was the first generation TA01 and I built the car in 1993 with Acoms radio equipment. Everything still works perfectly. You can check out the car on my channel, BlackSeaRC, if you want to see it in detail.

Really good build, I want to mount a js scale range body to my vs410 portal, until now I wasn’t sure but I will now go for it 👍🏽

Just watched your Range Rover videos as I have just purchased one myself (great builds by the way), you say you got your wheel arch flares from a company called Loops but after a long search I can not find them, could you give me more info on the company as I might have better luck. Also what tyre size did you use on the blue Range Rover. Would really appreciate your help, many thanks

nice video , is that a tamiya colour ??

I'm buying a Tamiya Lancia RC 1/10. What parts will I need to buy to complete the assembly (radio, servo...)? Could you specify? Thanks

I bought the xv-02 and I'm putting a Trinity Mod XF-RevTech 5.5 in it. I race a Team Losi 22-x4 with a 7.0 mod Phenom and anything more that a 13.5 turn motor is too slow for me. The terrain I’m running on will be hilly and rough, so a mod motor will provide the extra power as needed. It's going to be a blast running a rally car!

I've just looked up the price of a slipper clutch for an XV-01..! 😲 🤯!!!!! A bit pricey to say the least.! £45 here in the UK... That's ridiculous...

So what happened? Can’t find the sequel!?. Nice looking car .

Merci many's😊😊😊

Love your Tamiya videos 😀 Have you stopped making these?

great build and lots of stuff I learned on this one. :) THank you!

Cool Video. Thxs for sharing

I just got the same trailer so this was very helpful. You’ve earned my subscription. Thanks and keep well.

very nice build, chassis and body!

great info on the build lovely work there

great video...ive just received my js range rover 3 door...although it says team raffee on the box....fab kit...will use some flory sticks to clean up the very slight bit that need it b4 washing the body...not looking forward to the assembly tho lol...

looks great...can you tell me what paint did you use and did you put any clear coat over it....lovely finish on it

Great video! I was hoping to replace the standard rear knuckles on my XV-01. Any advice you can give would be much appreciated. The standard knuckles take two bearings and a plastic spacer, so the GPM XV1238RST pokes out just enough for the pin that holds the wheel hub to be inserted into the hole. The GPM XV022 knuckles don't seem to work that way. If I try to use both bearings the CVD won't go far enough through the knuckle. If I only use the outside bearing the CVD goes too far. The plastic spacer from the stock knuckles doesn't do anything in the new ones. Am I missing something really obvious?

Excellent content! Can’t wait to see the next video! I was wondering about the battery compartment, it’s not that well protected don’t you think?

A very nice trailer. I ordered for myself. I like these extras for the pleasure of driving RC models.

Any ideas for slipper clutch. Can’t seem to find one.

Do you mind me asking which Tamiya blue you used?

Thanks, for great video. Any chance you can paste all parts which were used for this build?

Great trailer, my next one👍😀

Cool stuff! Subscribed.

Great content, subbed!!

Great update, definitely want to know how the stock axles hold up. Looking forward to the Krait rims too.

Would like to buy one from u a unpainted body that will mount up to the vs410 pro just Would like to paint it my self

Thanks! Didn’t know about the shims, good thing I’ve only redone one of my gearboxes so far. lol

So this is the vs4-10 with a rc4wd body? How did you mount it probably. I am interested in doing this.

Great videos man with excellent tips. Please make more videos. Would like to see the cars running.

Nice rig👌🏻you definitely need proline 2 stage foams, stock foams is way to soft for a heavy rig like that

It’s a great chassis .

Lovely lancers. I’m currently doing the evo 3 body . 👍

What is the tire size?

Great informative videos you have on your channel!! XV01 fan her as well! We've been using this platform for quite sometime now. Here is one of our many upcoming videos on the XV01 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKutfoWZdr9rfrM We will be uploading more of these soon. I hope you can check it out too!

Any update on durability?

hi! how to calculate the perfect heigth of the body post?

Halfaxis from Yeah racing is not good, buy cvd

Awesome! Just bought the Tamiya 911 RSR Carrera clear body shell to go on Kyosho MK2

amazing vid but background music is too loud :)

It’s a great chassis but for me was a horrible build. I really wish Tamiya would update themselves and make some small changes. The instruction manuals are from 1985, and could be updated and in colour. The way they package parts is just ridiculous. Parts bagged with other parts from different steps, it was frankly just frustrating searching all the time and it literally made no sense. Phillips screws in a kit that cost $400 Canadian. Tie rods are not pre-threaded and are dreadful on the fingers. If you happened to buy the Lancia body and managed to get the fender decals on without wrinkles or bends/cracks then consider yourself extremely talented and lucky. The decals are just a nightmare. I tried to provide feedback to Tamiya (Head Office Japan) but all they do is refer you to a Tamiya “Agent “ which for me was a small distribution center in Canada called Borgfeldt which is some mom and pop shop of 20 people. Borgfeldt was completely useless.

Why would you change your chassis design? My body fits perfectly to the chassis

Where can I get that chassis plate from?😍

Hi I'm looking at buying the same team raffee chassis and d90 shell. What did you have to do to get the chassis to fit low enough and also to correct the wheelbase? I was hoping it came ready to fit without the need for adjustment?

Nice!

hello, first of all congratulations for all the information given in the video.. I would like to know where I could buy the carbon frame kit (frame and upper deck). I would be very grateful

This video is really helpful because im considering buying the Team Raffee chassis but with the killer body D90 shell. Thanks!

👌

Of late I have bought vintage kyosho and thunder Tiger nitro car's both touring and rally they all work but have struggled to find parts for them so bought these for parts for the other ones I have but have decided to shelf queen all of them as they still all work but I prefer not to run them and get something that I can use with parts that are available than ruin the vintage ones ,I know I will get whinged at but I am not one to destroy car's just for the hell of it
