e255: Tamiya TT-01 Type-E EURO Truck RC Racing On The Fender Bender Speedway

We take a quick look at my Tamiya Tide Euro Truck (TT-01 Type-E Chassis) and then hit the Fender Bender Speedway for some RC racing action.

[@VINTAGEBACKYARDRC]

YES! So very happy to see a racing video again. The trucks are absolutely perfect for some old school parking lot racing. This is how we did things back in the day! The paint is on point bud.

[@RCRetro]

Thanks. Yes keeping it Retro with some parking lot racing... thanks for the comment. and don't forget to eat your Kale chips..

[@VINTAGEBACKYARDRC]

[@RCBirds]

Very cool, I still want one. Like your design and cool you showed the complete race.

[@RCRetro]

Thanks. Yeah I have a few more vids like this lined up for the future.. Eventually, Phil will be taking over but until then.... I'll show a few here and there...

[@grduprc]

Thank you for the shout out decals were worth the effort they came out great and looks even better on the track can't wait to get back into a rhythm of some race days and race vids!

[@RCRetro]

Anytime Phil. Thank you again. Also I need the driver sticker "RC RETRO" thats above the window. It ripped off.. Thanks bud.

[@Riki-eu1zt]

[@jeramiahweston8095]

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Love it

[@Mr1stlevel]

Awesome

[@Geo_art_RC]

I need one of those for my collection, they are so cool. Your paint job and stickers are excellent!

[@RCRetro]

Thanks.. Yes I really love this one. Sometimes box art is not the way to go.. Glad you enjoyed the video

[@All_RC_Fun]

Great design. Love the look of the truck.

[@RCRetro]

Thanks. Love the way it turned out. One of my best looking RC's for sure.

[@danielburke6536]

Looks like a lot of fun

[@bluegroovemodelsports9650]

Very nice video

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

i like the paintjob!

[@roccomarcelli821]

Awesome running and great decals. You guys should come out and run the Tamiya TCS races in Jackson NJ we have a large euro truck turnout.

[@RCRetro]

Hey Roc! We all contemplate it... perhaps one day.. maybe spring... we shall see.. In the meantime.. I gotta get out to SI and check out that hobby shop by you. I keep telling my wife about it and how I want to go... she just rolls her eyes lol...

[@roccomarcelli821]

Anytime you want to come will be more than happy to take you or meet you there.

[@barrycheesemore2928]

Awesome stuff, love the truck by the way! I race a Fat Fox truck at my local club here in the UK, we're allowed hop-ups, but I haven't gone too crazy, Steering turnbuckles, CVA dampers, alloy centre propshaft (kit one is terrible) with alloy diff cups, and hex head screws. I've got Rush yellow inserts in the tyres, backed with M chassis hard foams, seem to work extremely well on carpet to be honest. Keep the truck videos coming!!

[@RCRetro]

Thanks Barry. These fly around the Fender Bender speedway so if we were to hop these up and make them faster, there would be carnage on the track lol... wait till you see some of the race videos with our faster RC's....

[@barrycheesemore2928]

@Total Tamiya Rc I race at Stevenage in Hertfordshire :)

[@barrycheesemore2928]

@Total Tamiya Rc No problem mate. Our next race meeting is the 5th January, we usually race every Thursday night at Barnwell Middle School in Stevenage :)

[@tm5123]

Euro truck racing is epic, the more stock the better, nice even driving.

[@scottnorton6834]

Look at you going all fancy with an actual timing system. FWIW I would take the winning truck to tech inspection, it seemed visibly faster than the rest.

[@garethbannister8333]

😀I have said this since we got them but the only difference is mine came with a TBLE-02S ESC and the others came with a HW 1060. Both legal but not sure if that can make that much of a difference? Its not my driving skills, I know that a much.

[@scottnorton6834]

@@garethbannister8333 maybe he discharge rate on the battery? Same pinion in all trucks?

[@RCRetro]

@@scottnorton6834 All trucks are built right out of the box.. I assume all them came with the same size pinion... but if someone changes it who'd know... other than visually seeing the truck boogy down the straight away faster. Gareth does use some pretty good LIPO's though.. Higher discharge more PUNCH

[@RcScaleTales]

Very cool

[@MikeLouie_TKD]

Funny how different tracks/regions have a BIG following of Euro trucks and some are non-existent. We had a handful show up at HOD a few seasons ago, but now nothing. Great video! Love to see the racing is back.

[@RCRetro]

Thanks.. Yeah this individual race video's are a lot easier to edit and do. Def some more to come.

[@janrbh17]

Watched the 2022 world championship 1/8 nitro buggy yesterday. I would perhaps claim that the expertise level was higher there than here...? Hehe. But I would have come last if I joined you guys, so keep up the good work. Fun to watch! The TT-01 chassis on a truck seemed wrong to me because of the narrow ( single) rear tires and 4WD. But I must say they looked really good on camera.

[@RCRetro]

They are actually really fun. We have a blast with them. Not as bad as you would think.

[@RFVCXR200R]

Seemed to be a lack of dirty drivin from a certain missing individual hahaha

[@charlesyoung8600]

Great paint scheme 👌 👏 👍are you using an airbrush?

[@RCRetro]

Yes I Airbrushed this one. I haven't been airbrushing as much as I'd like to ... but I have a buggy that I'm going to do a scheme that I have in mind.. some bodies I have custom painted too. Just had a whole bunch come in...

[@bradkalman2353]

Yeah lipos finally.

[@LightningBuggiesRC]

Great video. What timing system are you using?

[@MustangsCanTurnToo]

Are you guys running the stock servo saver? TT02s don’t like to return to center and looked like those TT01s were having the same issue

[@RCRetro]

Everything is stock. Thats the rules.. But I see what you are talking about. Regardless, these are still a blast and super fun.. If we were racing for real competition and allowed to upgrade parts then I'm sure we would upgrade the steering and servo saver too..

[@bradkalman2353]

How many months ago did you film this cuz I know you guys got hit bad with this past or my least in Buffalo.

[@RCRetro]

Back in October. I am months behind in video editing..

[@ripriotrc4561]

What timing system are you using

[@bradkalman2353]

I looked up and put in pcrc and I can't find Phil.

Now race it into the ground. 😂

You a Long Island guy?

Your rear end likes to fishtail too much.
