Noce car. I runs very cool. Thinking about addig a FWD to my collection

Thanks 🤝 Well, now there's the BT01 chassis that can be setup as FWD, but for added realism, you would need an adequate FWD body, not the Supra who is a pure FR (front motor, rear wheel drive). Or you can probably find some "used" FF01,2,3 here and there (Kleinanzeigen in Germany)😁🤝

It looks great and was running very well out on the track! I have heard a lot of good things about the FF-01 cars and this goes right along with them!

It was surprisingly nice. So much that later, I acquired an FF02 and an FF03 😇🤝

Looks great! Handles really well and I’m surprised the back end doesn’t swing out. Car must be super stable. FWD can definitely be a lifesaver through the corners.

Thanks 🤝I was surprised by the handling and the lack of severe understeer. To be honest, the stock motor (and maybe the gear diff ?) does help in that case. It may be another story with even a simple Sport Tuned (not mentioning a brushless). As that car is cracked at several places, I went easy with her 😁🤝

One of my first FC cars i used to race at local clubs back in the day. I now have one NIB that I can't wait to build

@coygtrc 3 ай бұрын

Wow, a NIB 😮 This one is not perfect (lots of cracked parts), but more than enough to display (and doing a mild run with). As Tamiya has again a FWD chassis (BT01), I wish they re-re some of the iconic bodies to go with🤝

@@coygtrc yeah it was a lucky fimd at a decent price from Japan. Really meed to build it.. and as for the BT01, i really hope they do. It would be a great platform for them

First! Handles very well. Funny because it had a reputation of being the opposite.

@coygtrc 3 ай бұрын

Maybe that's the driver 🤔😁😁😁FIrst time driving a on-road FWD. My previous and single front wheel drive run, was a test of a Kyosho Maxxum, around 35 years ago (1989 I guess) 😵 Quite unrelated, but I wish I had a Maxxum (Although Kyosho may re-re it, we never know) 🤝

Very nice run Gabe.. Oh that's a thing of beauty, Love mine but I have the more recent (FF-03) body set but still the Vectra... The chassis I have is the FF-01.. I should copy your set up and give it a go...

@coygtrc 3 ай бұрын

Thanks Uncle Bob 🤝Yeah that's a cool setup. The Vectra is nice, but there are so many FWD out there. If only Tamiya would put some of their old body on the BT01 in FF config (Nissan Primera, Honda Accord, Ford Mondeo, Volvo 850 and many other) 🎅🤝

@@coygtrc Or just release the body seys again... I think the last FF Tamiya made was a very limited FF-05...

@coygtrc 3 ай бұрын

FF-04 Evo the last one, very limited, quite high end (almost TRF) 😉🤝
