Massive Tamiya RC race event near Nottingham

[@scottblowers9592]

What a great day! Didn’t realise you recorded my M05 race thanks 👍🏻. Have to say I really enjoyed racing my M05 for its first ever outing! My trusty TT01 let me down. See you guys at West London!

[@vennemans9113]

Great track with the little bumps. Need more of those. Have great memories racing Tamiya's of the past 👍

[@KCRC-SLC]

I love seeing your tracks mate!! I'm not gonna lie, I am jealous!!!

[@coygtrc]

Congrats on the best body win 👏 What a track 🤩 The little jump with the F1 👍🤝

[@PopalongRC]

Thank you

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

Great session. The track looks amazing, a good drivers circuit. Especially that banked sweep. It resembles an F1 type lay out. Thanks for sharing.

[@PopalongRC]

Cheers buddy

That looked like an awesome day.!! 👍 👍 👍 I've been in RC for about 6 years now, I've got around 50 RCs of all shapes, styles & scales but I only recently got into Tamiya, I was put of by the plastic diffs, pogo shocks & reputation for being delicate... I'm not too proud to admit I was totally wrong.. I've got a TT-01 MAN, an M06 & an M05... I bloody love them.!! I'll definitely be getting more Tamiya RCs in my fleet.! I don't race them (my nearest club is 55 miles away), I just street bash them or make my own tracks with markers, I especially love the TT-01 MAN, it's got beautiful Yeah racing shocks that make it handle soooo nicely & a mild 3S brushless system in it. It's quite top heavy so it forces you to be very smooth, you've really got to control the body roll. The M05 & M06 being front & rear wheel drive also force you to adapt to them, you've got to really control the throttle inputs. Those 3 RCs have probably made me improve my driving technique more than any other RC I own.!!! Tamiya are just a little bit different than all the others.! Stay safe out there mate & the very best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏 ❤️ 📻 🕹️ 🔋 🚗 🚖 🚕 🚔 🚚 🚙 🚘 🚓 🚒 🚑 🚐 🚎 🚤 🚁 🛩️ 👍 👍 👍

Great video of what looks like a great meeting. Can’t wait until I’m at Broxtowe in September for the Revival💪

[@davidwatson22]

I was so gutted to find out that I had missed this race meeting. I would have popped over to say hello. At least you had some good weather for the weekend.

[@barrycheesemore2928]

Wow, that looked like a shed load of fun, and well done!!

[@thegreatoutdoors2000]

That was great. Looks great fun. Thanks

[@user-pj7pj9vi7e]

Nice driving. My favorite tires on asphalt/tarmac is an old bald set that should have ripped a long time ago, best set I have for "power sliding" instead of grip rolling on the street.

[@howardsmith5898]

Nice to have a chat with you, despite you racing and filming you still made time. Keep up the good work

[@PopalongRC]

Cheers buddy

[@tm5123]

1:29 good lord, have those rims been passed through 10 generations of owners. LOL

[@PopalongRC]

They keep going

[@SonnyBurnett85]

That track looks great. Any tips for tyres for Touring cars welcome for Stevenage. I'm determined to make a B-Final lol.

[@lo2713]

Congrats on getting that concourse win, now you know whats been holding you back from winning 😂 i think i need to reduce the buggy races next year, and do the iconic event. We will have to see

[@krisby1]

click bait. I came for the thumbnail cars and no where to be seen.

[@PopalongRC]

Think there are a few shots The iconic cup runs Touring car -M chassis -and F1 We do have other videos that just feature F1 only but this was my best photo in the day so had to use it … sorry you had to watch the video

[@ksmith1298]

Thanks for saving me time

[@herbert4247]

Hi all, new fan of the channel. Really been enjoying the content. Was wondering if anyone could provide their experience with stripping the plastic on Tamiya chassis. (possible tips episode?) I have an M-05 and have stripped not only where the screws go into the main chassis on the steering, I have also stripped the plastic where the servo attaches to the main chassis. I know not to tighten the screws down too much, but I noticed if I go to swap a servo or replace a part, the plastic no longer holds the screws as tightly or is completely stripped and the screws no longer tighten at all. Is this a common issue with Tamiya kits? Are there any tips or tricks that would help prevent this issue? I really enjoy the m-chassis Tamiya cars, not only building them but racing as well. I understand anything on the car has a potential to break, but stripping the screw hole plastic on the main chassis of the car seems to be a big re-occurring issue for me. Does anyone else have this issue? Am I specifically doing something wrong? Any bit of info would be greatly appreciated....Thanks, ur loyal American viewer.

[@PopalongRC]

Sounds like you are over tightening screws Don’t need to go hard with plastic

[@evo4ralliart]

That looks awesome fun , I used to do indoor 1:10 buggy racing with a Carisma 4xs , I’ve got a Schumacher sst pro touring car would that be allowed in the iconic cup ?

[@PopalongRC]

Iconic cup is Tamiya only But there’s other comps for vintage touring cars

[@dalejohn3233]

I’m not having a go but i think that TRF guy has all the gear and no idea.😂

[@PopalongRC]

I’ll let him know

[@kentonian]

Well done Carl, tidy driving.

[@mhrcracing]

Why is Tamiya racing not big in the US like the rest of the world? Its weird, we'd rather grow mini-z here than introduce box stock 10th scale racing.

[@travellingsimon]

The Tamiya Championship Series is held around the US and in S. Calif the tub chassis GT class is very popular with most tracks having their own version. Usually not exclusively Tamiya but the TT02 is the most run chassis.

[@mhrcracing]

@travellingsimon but that's extremely niche. Most onroad tracks in the US don't offer tamiya classes for some reason. We've tried VTA and USGT as beginner classes, but I don't think those have delivered as expected

[@PopalongRC]

I find it takes a few people to decide on a class and have some close racing so others want to join in the fun…

[@samuelwong4152]

still rubbish compared to brands like mugen, kyosho, yokomo, serpent and etc, tamiya are good for kids toy grade stuffs, not touring racing.

[@carlbergen2553]

Very cool! 💯
