[@doug64082]

Its official, At 50 years old, My wife has told me Im no longer allowed to watch your videos!!! LMAO. great vide, IM buying one!!!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Yeah I have been told that....

[@Freddie44utube]

My favourite part of this video was when you were driving it you started to push the handling by braking hard into turns! Nicely balanced car for the money

[@AMPROEngineering]

Yeah I was very surprised.

[@keithrx3c]

Looks pretty good, I was thinking the chassis looked similar to a TT01/02. A friend of mine has a 131 rally replica on the go but progress has been slow.

[@AMPROEngineering]

I know I was surprised. I thought the same but do not have those to compare to.

[@RockyMtnRCAdventure]

Thanks for the review. I just ordered mine today. Running me about $300 Cdn to get it here. Ouch. Still... a fair price considering most rtr's up here start at about $500 and actually... those usually aren't fully rtr in truth. No light kits, no chargers, no battery and so on. Anyways... I have a few weeks to wait. Getting pretty stocked for it. I also ordered the chassis cover from a guy in Italy who had one. Another $60 Cdn. I won't run it in snow or dirt without that cover on. Have you found a place to buy hop ups? I'm struggling with that right now.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Boy I wish I could say I have but in truth I have not looked. I have been told this is a common chassis built under license. I think someone commented that actually. I have some updated to this car coming soon!

[@VintageJoe1976]

You got a hell of a deal on this!!! Nice find!!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Yeah I know, it is really something.

[@jdpaslRC]

I like that rig. Looks unique and special!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Agreed!

[@martinjpayne1964]

Nice video review of an uncommon RC car, I think they are based on the Exceed RC MadSpeed chassis. With respect to the headlights, not all grills had large and small headlights, any combination seems to have been possible: [oo===oo], [Oo===oO] or [oO===Oo]. Like yourself, I used to drive a four door back in the day; a Supermirafiori 2000TC.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Oh....Exceed? I will check that out! Yes you are correct, you could have gotten so many like the large and small light reversed or both small. Oh nice! A 2000! Mine was also a 2000 but in 1979-1982, that was the only motor that US cars got. They had much smog components on them so they were slow without the optional Fuel injection in 1980 (made standard in 81-82). My 80 Strada was a carb car until I replaced the engine with the 81 Strada with Bosch L-Jet Tronic FI.

[@NordicRC]

I like it! Congrats! Nice body and lights .... like the chassis, gearing etc. too. Nice enjoyable speed and sound.

[@AMPROEngineering]

I know, it was remarkably good.

[@alfredsfunvideos4270]

Would you choose this or TT-02 for a beginner?

[@AMPROEngineering]

TT02 for sure. Way more part support.

[@maxrockatanski9194]

Not a bad kit. Thanks for the demo on it. Will have to get one myself

[@AMPROEngineering]

My pleasure!

[@hardtailflo4807]

Its a carson radio , a reflexwheel x1 , carson is a part of tamiya

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thank you! I had no idea what it was.

[@MrCaprinut]

I like it! My LHS do sell these, but at much higher price tag. Regarding the radio, that's a copy of LRP A3 STX, or a rebranded one. I have the LRP 2ch variant without the lsd screen, works flawless :-) Did you get the message about the Falcon part? Cheers Richard

[@AMPROEngineering]

How interesting...thanks for that! I did not get the message but I have not looked on FB or Instagram yet!

[@tiborvon]

I have one of these models. Very nice and detailed

[@AMPROEngineering]

Yes, they are very nice. I have designed a grille and headlights for it. I am excited to install it!

[@maxm1417]

Looking this video into perspective for that price this was steal. Today a rtr with less than that goes for 300+

[@AMPROEngineering]

Oh yeah they are super pricey now

[@maxm1417]

@@AMPROEngineering dont know if this brand still exists.

[@borisloncar3011]

What is LCD remote control for? You can drive a car like yours in Miss Rally Racer EVO. This game is played on a smartphone.

[@AMPROEngineering]

It shows trims and settings. Personally I dont like it.

[@CarlosCruz-mt9go]

AMPRO Engineering what can I’d if the remote isn’t responding with the rc cR

[@STEVOD313]

Looks really cool! 👍👍👊👊📹📹That remote looks like the same remote redcat uses for its ground pounder n 4ws crawlers

[@AMPROEngineering]

Oh that makes sense! There was a document in the package about crawlers and 4 channel radios! I need to look that up.

[@STEVOD313]

AMPRO Engineering ya that’s the only time I’ve seen that transmitter is with redcat, I was gonna get this just for the 4ws option for my monster truck lots of guys use it for the same reason

[@wolfenher6937]

I’ve actually bought on eBay and I bought it for $125 plus with a $25 dollar shipping. It’s actually an awesome rally car, but I’m having problems with the ESC cause when I turn it on, it’s suppose to beep 3 times and mines wouldn’t do that. The other one is the motor which really sucks and I’m not sure why. It just sucks cause I can’t it to launch correctly like all other rtr rally cars.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Oh man I dont know why the esc is doing that.

[@loquitos1972]

For a RTR and it's price it's looking decent. Love the light kit on it. Next a brushless set on it :)

[@AMPROEngineering]

I know, the price is great.

[@ELPONCHIK86]

Have a question what other brand of parts i can intall in the rc legends rally u know like hpi or redcat

[@AMPROEngineering]

Oh sadly I do not. My onroad collection is very small and other than this, all I have are a couple Tamiyas.

[@christophercoconis2575]

Nice rallye, Think I might have to get one of these and give it a try!! ☺

[@AMPROEngineering]

It is a pretty neat car I have to admit.

[@DeadnCold]

Very nice. Any chance we can get a link from where you bought it?

[@AMPROEngineering]

Hey man, it was just on ebay. It was the sellers last one but several more have them.

[@noordaniel8263]

Hi. Will you be coming out with new parts for the Boomerang or the new Manta Re-release?

[@AMPROEngineering]

Well for the Hotshot yes. Maybe the boomerang will get new arms but I do not have a Manta Ray. I have had people asking me about stuff for them so that is a possibility.

[@noordaniel8263]

Sounds good thanks!

[@keithgunter6823]

Hellooooo, The remote looks like my futaba from the 90s and it is a great remote!

[@keithgunter6823]

Helloooooo, I said 1990s I'm sorry I ment a 2002-2006 futaba remote.

[@AMPROEngineering]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@robertobuenrostro2781]

Wow I love it.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thanks!

[@RonBernardino]

Thank you for making videos man.

[@AMPROEngineering]

My pleasure

[@blzr2bull]

Do you have a link on where to buy this car? Great review btw👍🏼

[@AMPROEngineering]

I just go it on ebay and it was the sellers last one. Take a look on there and you can find a lot of versions of it. Thanks!

[@mikronbus3239]

Looks like a good deal and could be a hoot with a slightly hotter motor. Have fun with it.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Thank you. I am already looking to make some printed upgrades for it.

[@cwatson42785]

That car looks great!!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Sure does Chris.

[@morhozhaelroth3253]

Very cool! Thanks

[@AMPROEngineering]

My pleasure!

[@nironnami5674]

I have a similar remote from LRP but it's just the steering wheel and the startupsound that is the same but I have a catalog where a similar remote is shown. Sorry for some Gramattig "fails" because I'm from Germany

[@AMPROEngineering]

Yeah I think many of these are from Chinese contract manufactures. Guten tag!

[@ShenRC]

😊👍actually looks pretty nice!

[@STEVOD313]

Shen RC I think he likes tamiya rc’s more then u Steve lol!

[@AMPROEngineering]

I dunno man, i do complain a lot about Tamiya....haha!

[@AMPROEngineering]

Yeah it is

[@RcBasherBoi]

Looks awesome. I like it.😎

[@AMPROEngineering]

I was pleasantly surprised.

[@thestuffz]

wow. its quite nice actually

[@AMPROEngineering]

Yeah I was really surprised.

[@jaredsayrc4947]

Do you have linked where we can buy this

[@AMPROEngineering]

I found it on ebay but they are gone now.

[@rosolinotv3690]

Where did you get this from?

[@AMPROEngineering]

I found it on ebay a couple years ago. It is by rally legends.

[@morrron5]

i love this channel !

[@AMPROEngineering]

Wow that is kind of you!

hola donde se compran estos coches.gracias

[@AMPROEngineering]

eBay

[@gregoryguza4623]

Very nice car. I think you did pretty darn well for $160.

[@AMPROEngineering]

I agree?

[@allhaillordtachanka1957]

Buying it

[@AMPROEngineering]

Nice, it is a good car.

[@marsgoufwang7869]

not bad but seems a little slow. The receivers & controller I guess they are OEM by FS as your daily used ones.

[@AMPROEngineering]

Well that was because I was driving with one hand and filming with the other! Haha! I didn't want to crash it. What is FS?

[@marsgoufwang7869]

a factory focused on RC controller & transmitter, I remember lots of your receiver has a FS logo, that's it.

[@marsgoufwang7869]

www.flysky-cn.com/ this is FS rc controller website.

[@AMPROEngineering]

OH gotcha. I have dozens of these FS receivers and two radios. I love that brand.

is there not a link to buy this

[@AMPROEngineering]

Ill add it. This is all polyjet so it is expensive and not very strong so I assumed no one would want it. Ill make a link

[@AMPROEngineering]

Links are there now. It was in the link to the store as it turns out.

[@MrPaulb1982]

@@AMPROEngineering they only seem to be for parts... any links for the actual RTR version please

[@joannewhilde7359]

Ditch the prop shaft and make it read wheel drive only. It would be the ultimate mod for the original car.

we have the TT02 but the rally legends runs ways bether

[@AMPROEngineering]

Wow really?

[@shownomercyfromgraz]

yes its an copy of the TT-01 with bether things in it . bether stearing , harder plastics and so on . tho russian and polish rc rally drivers drive this cars . we make the fails that we begin with tamiya. they are good cars but not so good . ithe first problem is the stearing from the TT02 this is crap . TT01 is bether but the best of tamiya is TA01 stearing . the stearing ob the rally legends is way bether than TA01 . look the videos of "rc rally " than u see for which race they are build . for example this is RC Rally kzbin.info/www/bejne/poHKnI2ebc59a9E
