stupid crash - destroys chassis - rebuild Tamiya rc car

[@steven-vn9ui]

Bloody hell Carl, you're a rough builder. Take a leaf out of Mark's book lol😅 thanks for the upload fellas

[@Pablo668]

Nice work. Funny how innocuous accidents sometimes cause the most damage.

[@PopalongRC]

unlucky to clip the barrier where it was sticking out

[@oopster74]

So annoying when the smallest of crashes does the most damage, yet you can drive away from cataclysmic crashes

[@rudyrots]

I did the same thing to my TA08 Pro… in the process of rebuilding it now!!!

[@geenster77]

Easily fixed and up and running very quickly nice vid as always. Keep em coming

[@PopalongRC]

will do

[@SVRadioControl]

The ritual of race, break, order spares... and maybe a new car. Been there. 😁 Thanks for the great content guys.🙂

[@PopalongRC]

did you say new car

[@BrianRae-up5ho]

Tinker Bell 🧚 in full effect 😂

[@ScottBlowers-jq1hy]

It’s a shame that happened so close to the end of the race. Think all 3 of us would have been so close at the end! Connor also had to replace his chassis and lower arm after the race.

[@stephenlay9580]

Probably a good thing as the old chassis Probably has alot of wear,🤷‍♀️ and people can see it's not so scary to build or rebuild a car .Great video mate 👍

[@PopalongRC]

cheers buddy relatively quick turn around

[@markharper4693]

Do you have a contact for the Leighton Buzzard track to sorce some of those 'raised curbs'?

[@PopalongRC]

Best bet is ask on Facebook

[@RobSay53]

All I saw in the video was that one blue shock cap on the red shocks. Sacrilege! 🤣

[@PopalongRC]

i clearly dont have OCD

[@adrianharrison5208]

It looked like the Marshall picked up the dogbone in the video.

[@iannjadejones1982]

If your garage is hot and cold and sitting that long just got brittle but great racing

[@barrycheesemore2928]

That didn't look like a big impact, but it just goes to show how easy it can be to break something! At least the TT01 is cheap and easy to fix. I'm currently running an Xpress XQ3S, and so far I've only broken the left rear body post and the right front spool outdrive, the car has been really solid otherwise....

[@PopalongRC]

the barrier had a kink so rear wheel drove into the end of the guttering

[@MECH01_]

Hi what gear ratios are you guys running? And are the core 21 motors you run better than the touqe tuned ones?

[@archer8096]

Torque tuned are 25T I think? I ran a base spec TT02 at a GT event at my local club. Some people were running Core 21T motors which were definitely quicker on the straights. Not a huge difference of course, but enough to get the edge

[@garysmith70]

Oh, eck total carnage..it was filthy as well.

[@PopalongRC]

carpet fuzz gets everywhere

[@leedavies2267]

That breakage is more common than you think. Chassis need replacing more often, might look ok but all that outdoor then indoor then outdoor racing fuggs the plastic

[@PopalongRC]

nice new chassis now for the next indoor season

[@leedavies2267]

@PopalongRC recommend you have a dedicated indoor and a dedicated outdoor car.

[@BasRikken]

always use a bright body , this is to dark to see well

[@PopalongRC]

True This is my darkest shell I race with … more for looks than performance

[@CassieRowlands]

💥💥💥

[@Robert-gy4lv]

Would have been a good time to service the bearings diff and shock

[@PopalongRC]

shocks and diff were checked and all good.... bearings is a good shout though

[@dalejohn4035]

Upgrades time.

[@PopalongRC]

not on a tt01

[@peterdering4922]

That's the problem with [toygrade] Tamiya. You only have to blow on them and they break.

[@steven-vn9ui]

Ripped a front wishbone off my Jok3r doing the same thing last night

[@madmoo8836]

Watching the video of the crash you can see the marshal / spectator pick up what i suspect is your missing dogbone :)

[@leedavies2267]

That's not wearing a hi viz as per brca rules !

[@bradkalman2353]

It looks like it broke you.

[@markbruton-young9228]

Way too much WD40 😮

[@PopalongRC]

Hahaha

[@brianlangford7278]

Any car cost that much and can break that much at slow speeds,nah

[@SuperSweetok]

Never got the whole Tamiya thing. Even as a kid the couple of mates that had them they seemed slow, flimsy and now look so old compared with everuthing else on the market😅

[@PopalongRC]

Fair point

[@ianjohnhorwood2605]

To be honest , i think you'd be better off with the kyosho Fazer RC car chassis , rather than the Tamiya TT01 & 2 chassis base 🤣🤣🤣 .
