TAMIYA BBX BB-01 TRACK DAY

[@RCBirds]

Awesome run and you've my respect for finding all parts on the track.

[@neiltowsey4289]

Having a magnet in your pocket/tool bag is a good idea for these moments

[@Skilpadjie1]

LOL. I cant even find one to buy.

[@tkan5708]

Love that slo-mo 45 footage!

[@MauzyrockRC]

Beans! No Beans! Too much Beans! Great run there. what a rig. Nice edit! Cheers!

[@ezrc7724]

Wow amazing you can actually find your parts in the tracks! Thanks for sharing your BBX videos! Thumbs up!

[@Rangoli_rc]

Love that beautiful bean footage

[@briancarsen6315]

I am in North Dakota and am assembling my own BBX. Love the looks of yours. Also, the factory shocks included seem super smooth!

[@lo2713]

Thats an awsome track for the BBX, loved the bloopers at the end man. Made me laugh 😂

[@PhilipCockram]

Looks like you had fun Buddy .And some exercise . Ha . It handles and looks really nice . 👍🏼🤠

[@Toystheyrenot]

Very nice! Looks like you had fun out there.👍😊

[@Lokithefeline]

you got some goood eyes to find those tiny parts haha. nice...

[@kirkhill9239]

Wow! Love it Rex. Give it more wheel speed to compensate for the lack of traction. When in doubt, go flat out.

[@toyolien1694]

Did the changes you made to the rear dampers stop the drive shafts from popping out? Would you still recommend the BBX, even with it's issues?

[@rexrcs]

The changes to the rear shock did not prevent it from popping out, but does help. You could add one more oring but you wont get full compression anymore from an individual side during sway. Im going to tear apart the gearbox again to find what this issue is, as it stands, my only issue is this ticking gearbox, pretty sure im the only one though so thats not a common issue it seems. The buggy is amazing in strength and looks, i smashed a tree and a concrete curb head on and nothing broke, in terms of driving, you could make any buggy drive almost any way you want, for me, its about the chassis design, i dont love working on it because i have to open so much to get inside, but its a very nice option compared to the typical tub chassis delta wing shaped buggies available today, every other buggy is meant for tracks, this one sacrificed some track design for scale model looks, i like it very much so far. Is it worth it? Depends what it costs in your area and of its worth it to YOU as an individual

[@EMPTYPOCKETSRC]

Great job! I found lots of traction in a skate park.....can't drive the dang thing straight in the dirt.

[@rexrcs]

Too much power/wheel speed, im going to go down in pinion, or go more turn motor

[@AddamsPlayground]

Nice you got out on the track with it! Being 2wd with the narrow rear tires it is gonna be a slippering ride! From up top the track looks really nice and smooth but the up close showed it was a bit rough in spots from the rains so that wasn't in your favor either! It still looked like a good way to spend an afternoon out there learning things!

[@ioskaioska5166]

Great Video! Which one is overall better: the bbx or the dt-02?

[@rexrcs]

ooo....dt-02 is easier to work on, bbx is much more unique...thats a tough one...

[@UncleBobsRC]

Awesome run Dude!!!! I do like the looks of the kit tires, maybe Tamiya will come out with (a) different compound(s), What tires fit the wheel? You sure did give it the beans.... Great Video Rex!!!!!!

[@rcadventuresunlimited]

very cool buggy 👍 like 2wd on the track

[@JF-RC]

Hi there Rex, after those small teething issues, the BBX started to rip around well, sorry it was a noisy though. That’s the thing with ‘kidney beans’ they can catch you out here and there 😂😂😂😊😊nice running. Best wishes to you and the family 😊😊

[@therealderjett]

What options are out for better tires? Mine is still on backorder with Tower.

[@rexrcs]

Depends on your surface, loose stuff calls for Soft compound with small pins, high grip surface, harder compounds to prevent traction roll or grip flip, also depends on your driving, some run an uneven staggered setup. You’ll feel it. Hope you get yours soon

[@bluegroovemodelsports9650]

Great video. That looks like a fun track. You need a volunteer marshal.

[@MaxxPainII]

I want to see it run with some better tires, great job running it.

[@roberttierney9284]

I am still waiting for mine to show up. The rear tires look like short course tires. Is that right?

[@rexrcs]

They look similar to general sc race tires yes. I hope yours comes soon

[@quietrc]

Seems like I have repeated issues with Tamiya driveshafts coming out. I can’t be building all these wrong, right?

[@rexrcs]

If youre referring to tt-01/tt-02 thats normal lol

[@quietrc]

@@rexrcs TT-02, TT-02B, XV-02, Hot Shot, Wild One... the list goes on.

[@rexrcs]

@@quietrc sorry to hear that

[@atomart_rc]

Did it make that gearbox noise in the park? I’m tuning up my M08. I’d be interested to see your comments…. Not on my poor driving though 😂

[@rexrcs]

For sure, let me know when its out. Have you had a chance to check out my m08 videos?

[@rexrcs]

Yes, it started making that noise from the first time i took it out. I will open the gearbox again and double check all the gears. Something is clearly wrong and i can only ignore it for so long lol

[@atomart_rc]

Posted my M08 tune race. On 225mm. I’m trying 210mm this week

[@robotwaflle]

What waterproof brushless motor combo would you get? I’ve gotta hotshot II and looking go faster

[@rexrcs]

Ive seen a lot of people run between 3500/4000kv on youtube and its ridiculously quick, most of them flip at those speeds when trying to turn as the suspension lends itself to lots of body roll. Id try a 13.5 turn myself, try this one- amzn.to/3rnFznv And you will need a sensor cable- amzn.to/46kEnA4 You can also increase the pinion gear size for more top speed If you use my links you will be supporting the channel, thanks

[@robotwaflle]

@@rexrcs and the occasional puddle or wet grass will be okay with this? I will be on snow and ice later this winter. Thank you!

[@rexrcs]

@@robotwaflle it is a waterproof system but i recommend highly to blow off and clean when finished playing

[@bradkalman2353]

You sure it's not the slipper clutch or the Ball diff.

[@garymorrison3003]

Great ending! How are you recording those shots?

[@rexrcs]

Iphone XR on a stick, and gopro 5 on my head. Thank you 🙏

[@rcinhand9671]

Good run. It looks like you need a larger pinion.

[@Triggered-RC]

I got an 8.5 turn for mine... Hope that works out for traction...

[@rexrcs]

Im going to either go with smaller pinion, or go for 13.5t motor

[@Triggered-RC]

@@rexrcs BTW: one hint for turning. You won’t get under steer if you let off the throttle. That’s just a 2wd thing. Nothing really wrong with the BBX’s handling.

[@rexrcs]

@@Triggered-RC right! No understeer here!

[@Triggered-RC]

@@rexrcs Had mine out bashing/filming today. No understeer, but damn, it is fast! Fastest buggy I own. Had some epic crashes. Lost some bolts. A good day done!

[@Triggered-RC]

8.5 turn, turbo, and 21 tooth pinion

[@DudesRC]

beans!!!

[@RFVCXR200R]

How long of a drive do you live from that track?

[@rexrcs]

An hour, not far, but still 2 hours round trip

[@JoevsRc]

What was the slipping issue from the last run?

[@rexrcs]

It was a loose diff from breaking in, it has not let up since and Ive done a handful of packs, lots of full throttle asphalt bashing also. Tonight i brought it out in a high traction situation and i noticed the slipper slipping on hard throttle, maybe I might tighten it up a touch more

[@JarrettDorough]

I get the impression this car is not ready for prime time

[@allanmonster111]

Where is this? I need to take my bbx out

[@rexrcs]

Rctrack . Ca

[@allanmonster111]

@@rexrcs ahhhh. That's about 50 minutes north of me. Damn I wish there was some place closer.

[@CRRCracer]

@@rexrcs. Good run video

[@ShenRC]

Don't know this reminds me of my kyosho sandmaster ez series it sure looks good but really was not!

[@rexrcs]

This is a great buggy, ive had quite a few crashes and its unscathed, head on into a concrete curb , it just bounced off… head on into a tree and it flew and popped a driveshaft but i just popped that sucker back in and voila. Its not all sunshine and rainbows but I will save that for a video in the future “things i hate about my xyz”

[@bradkalman2353]

Instead of beans you should have got burgers that they sell there.

[@pureretro88]

Curious to see what tires the local guys are running there. Would be nice to at least pin some of the blame on stock tires and not your driving skills 😀

[@rexrcs]

I believe guys are running holeshots here, it was the tires for sure

[@bradkalman2353]

You're the only one who seems to have the most problems with this car than anybody else why is that?

[@rexrcs]

Everybody else is either lying, or not playing with their car

[@bradkalman2353]

@@rexrcs I'm seeing plenty of people playing with their vehicle and nothing's happening to them.

All new releases have bugs. We’re going to figure them out
