Tamiya DT02 Speed Competition Shakedown NiMh vs LiPo 14T Brushed

[@cw-01creations46]

Congratulations with the 36McMPH shakedown run 👍 You never fail to impress me Mark with you and Robs shenanigans. Thank you for an entertaining speed run 🤘🤘🤘

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi Peter and many thanks my friend! Off to a good start I think, I was hoping for over 30 so I'm chuffed! Glad you liked the video, we always have fun out there. Thank you for organising this comp for us all to enjoy. Cheers! 🍻😎🦫👍

Dang! You guys went full drag race mode on these!!! That was a great run Mark and nice speeds! I hope to work on mine next week and get it out for a trial run soon. We will see if I will be able to top that!!

[@MarkBryanRC]

We sure did go all in with these "dragster" Addam! You know Rob and me by now! 😅 Thanks for popping over and I hope you get some time to get your DT02 into shape! Good luck my friend and have a smashing weekend there! 😎👊🦫👍

Argh, the police are coming for you! The speedrun police, he he... You guys mean business! With those lengthened chassis, they're awesome! They look cool, and very stable at speed, very nice! Thirty-Mc-Six-Mc-Miles per hour! Excellent, dude!

[@MarkBryanRC]

Thanks Mads, oh yeah the police sirens always seem to start up when I'm doing my outros! What the hell?!?!?! 😅 You know us mate, we just have to get creative with the designs, all part of the fun. But yes, they do run straight, just need to add a little more speed! Cheers dude! 🍻😎🦫👍

[@thecontractor365]

Fascinating stuff Mark. It's 'thinking outside of the box' videos like this that elevates your channel and content beyond most others. Who would've thought to lengthen the chassis of a Tamiya buggy so it looks like a dragster or an F1 ( I can't decide which ) and then do a speed test. Brilliant stuff and so original. My guess for the Lipo run was 35mph, so not too bad. Awesome, that was so cool boys..👍🏻🤝🤘. More of the same please..🙏🏼🙂.

[@MarkBryanRC]

Many thanks, dude! I'm glad you like my thinking... I looked at how the front suspension assembly fitted to the chassis and a lightbulb lit in my head! These buggies are very skittish even at 20mph so i wanted something the tame that. As a bonus it looks pretty cool too! And I can report it works perfectly. As you can tell I was chuffed with that LiPo run - good guess mate (closer than mine!! 😅) More coming soon - have a smashing weekend! 😎👊🦫👍

Great runs Mark and congrsts on the 36. I was really curious for this as I had seen Rob's video before.

[@MarkBryanRC]

Many thanks Dirk! 😊 Yes I was very pleased with the speed! Not sure about Rob though!!! 🤣😎👍

[@BasBoyRC]

You turned your DT-02 into a snow plough 🙂29mph but gearing is a pain on these so limited. Wow 36mph on Lipo so cool. I use Zee Lipo's

[@MarkBryanRC]

Haha 😄 yeah a snow plough ❄ And yes the lipo made a hell of a difference, I do rate those Zeee batteries 🔋 Cheers mate! 😎 👊👍

[@theoagrc]

Great start Mark!!! Seems a lot easier to drive than the TT02!! Looking forward to seeing what else you get going with this awesome buggy!!

[@MarkBryanRC]

Thanks Craig! Yeah as you saw I was quite pleased with that speed! Got that 10T motor to try and higher gearing... it's gonna be fun my friend! 😁👊🦫👍

[@scaleworksRC]

Thanks for the positivity and much needed laughs, Mark! Going through a bit of a rough time. Pretty good runs, and 36mph is respectable for a brushed setup

[@MarkBryanRC]

Oh no, sorry to hear that, I hope things look up soon... struggling along here too, to be honest (health issues). But glad the video raised a smile. Yeah, I'm very happy with the shakedown and a decent starting point. Many thanks my friend. 😎👊🦫👍

Thanks Sean! Yeah I also think they look a bit like F1 cars, it was fun to add those plates to the chassis to make them longer. I ca report that they run nice and straight as you saw. Time to start adding more power! Cheers! 🍻😎🦫👍

[@PeteWylieRC]

Hey brilliant mate and yes, very nearly the same as with my brushless set. So we need to get on with trying a 22t pinion and I'm going to put in the 4600kv motor I have. Your long one definitely keeps its front end down better than mine! Great start to the weekend and I now need to check out what Rob did. I think I haven't commented on your last build vid yet but I did watch it so will get round to that. Hope you have a smashing weekend lined up young man. Best wishes 😁👍👍

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi Pete, how you doing mate?!?! Oh yes, we are closely tied at the minute but with your 4600 motor and higher gearing you are going to be hard to catch! But I'll give it my best shot to beat you even though we are in different classes! Yes the stretched chassis is stable and keeps the front down just as I hoped. I just pray I can get some more speed out of it to do it justice. Same to you, have a cracking weekend and best wishes to you and the missus! 😎👊🦫👍

[@K-Anator]

I really ought to get my first run uploaded. Unfortunately it was before the 2S restriction so it's not a valid run as I was on 3S, but there is something entertaining about watching a car slide through 4 frames of video on it's roof at 52km/h.

[@MarkBryanRC]

Oh yes that would be cool to see! You were clocking a good speed even on it's roof! All the best! 😎👊👍

[@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC]

Crikey mate..... That's a long one, I bet Barbara's beaver enjoys that! 😂 Off to a stunning start mate, and what a difference the lipo makes! Could you imagine if you beat brushless Pete wylie with your brushed runs? 🤔 😂 Great to see the UK's drug dealer in every car park tradition isn't just reserved for here down South..... Either that or you may have a stalker in a Beema, I'm sure it's the same guy as last time! Fun watching these runs, we need to get our finger out. Superb stuff lads! 👍 👍 👍

[@MarkBryanRC]

Thanks James, I knew I could rely on you to get a beaver joke in! 🤣🦫 Oh boy I didn't expect the LiPo to make such a difference, that battery Paul got me is a cracker! I was hoping to give Pesky Pete something to worry about, and I did, but he's got a massive one to slip into his (A huge brushless motor that is!). So I don't think I'll stay so close for long, but you never know! Haha, yeah the dodgy Beemer Boy is back and up to his dirty work I think. Na mate, these punks are everywhere. Glad you enjoyed it - and yes, get your bleedin finger out!!!! Cheers! 🍻😎👊🤣🦫

[@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC]

@@MarkBryanRC Lol..... What with long ones and beavers you set me up for that one matey! 😂 As for the battery..... I know there isn't supposed to be a huge difference between a 6 cell nmh and a 2s,but I've noticed a lot in some instances. I think the age of the batteries makes a LOT of difference. Some of my 3+ year old nmh packs are so slow. Compare a brand new 2s lipo to an old nmh and there's likely to be a large performance difference. I also think the discharge rate (c) on modern lipos makes a noticeable difference when it comes to these kind of tests. Yep, I'm still waiting for Taylor and Moo moo to build our holiday buggy chassis..... 🙄 I've done my part, I've completed two body shells for it- A box art one, and a Hanky special just for the speed run! This one will be a convertible, with Mr Hanky the speed run poo sticking through the top! You have a beaver, Rob has a squirrel, and we have a piece of s**t..... go figure! 😂 💩 Stay tuned buddy, it's guna be fun! 👍 👍 👍

[@MarkBryanRC]

Yep the batteries are an important part in this as we are restricted to the max gearing... Haha can't wait to see McPoo sticking his head out! 🤣 I'm always tuned to what you are up to buddy! Cheers! 😎🍻👍

Hello, when the car stopped, you needed your antenna. Or to hold the radio up higher. Cool cars 🚗

[@MarkBryanRC]

Hi there dude and thanks for the tip. What I didn't show though was that the wheels had completely locked-up when it stopped. Either it overheated or a small stone was stuck in the motor and it freed off when I forced the wheels to turn. All the best! 😎👍

[@thebandit1974]

Nice. Quite curious how you lengthened the car. I’ve just purchased a dt-02 second hand, so will have a crack at this at the weekend.

[@MarkBryanRC]

Cheers Nick. It's actually really simple to extend the chassis, you just need to make a couple of plates. I used 1mm alloy and cut it with tin snips! The front suspension and steering is a single unit that can be moved forward, the only fiddly bit is moving the servo onto the bottom plate you make, but it's quite straightforward. If you want to see close up pics, PM me! 😎👍

[@thebandit1974]

@@MarkBryanRC thanks for the offer. I think I’ll run my standard first and then perhaps with the front wishbone reversed which will give a bit of extra wheel base. See how that goes first.
