Tamiya Ford Mustang GT4 TT02

[@mikeduckworth6691]

This is the kit I got for Christmas. I did mine in the metallic green. Love it.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent Mike 😊👊🏻

[@simonbarker9399]

Thank Glen. I have learnt something today. I never new about pre cut wheel arches until today. Thought the vintage kit I had had a body shell that someone had started to cut out the wheel on.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah it’s quite a new thing from Tamiya but they don’t do it in every kit which is bizarre lol 😂

[@mikebarger6919]

I’ve been looking for this kit!! Can’t wait to see what you do with it!!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks Mike 😊👊🏻

[@FastFreddyRC]

This is definitely one I’m thinking of getting!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Do it do it 🤣🤣🤣

[@FastFreddyRC]

@@TAMIYALegends where did you get that one? I'm seeing that where I usually buy kits from they don't seem to be coming with ESC's anymore.

[@hillrwayne]

this was the last kit i built, i added a brushless system to mine, and i also used the MST adjustable wheels

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic thanks for watching Randall 😊👊🏻

[@wayneyates700]

Who doesn't love a Mustang. Was thinking of getting a Mustang shell for my HPI as it's my street runner, dark blue with black lines looks well tasty😍😍.. got a couple on Forza horizon(Xbox) lol. It will look sweet when done Glenn looking forward to seeing it finished 👍👍 once I see it I'll probably end up been swayed into getting 1 lol.😁👍👍

[@barrycheesemore2928]

Ooh, great choice, love the Mustang!! And your idea for the paint scheme and wheels sounds awesome, can't wait to see it👍👍

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks Barry 😊👊🏻

[@Cobrazilla1]

Cannot wait to see your build video of this Mustang. I have one as well that needs to be built in the future. Greetings from Aruba.

This is definitely a car I have on my must have list.

[@bernardodejong8080]

My son has this kit a few years now he is 10 now and still loving it. It’s a sexy car and a great starter kit, but get ball bearings and oil dampers straight away.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent thanks for watching and commenting my friend 😊👊🏻

[@malm4640]

Are the oil dampers really necessary

[@tm5123]

@@malm4640 Well depends, if you just drive it in yard or a parking lot, doesnt really have to have oil dampers. If you start going to tracks etc, or just want a better ride, the oil shocks start to be quite a important upgrade.

[@taimaishu-nao1922]

@@malm4640 I’d recommend them. Are they truly necessary? No. But you won’t get the truest feel for the chassis unless you use oil dampers. However… there is a guy from Korea that modded the kit standard friction shocks using a body o-ring and friction shock grease from the F103 and it works great though it’s not quite the same as using an oil damper. Believe me, I felt the same way and thought I couldn’t justify the cost of the Tamiya CVA shocks until I caved and bought a set. The performance difference is night and day but to each their own.

[@malm4640]

@@taimaishu-nao1922 I'll probably upgrade them at some point then.

[@bradkalman2353]

The gunmetal such a beautiful color on that car and you want to put white you know me box art.lol

[@TAMIYALegends]

Your a box art man all the way my friend 😊😊😊

[@bradkalman2353]

@@TAMIYALegends yes.

[@AshleyAnimationsUK]

If the cardboard of the box cover isn't torn - damaged, use a hair drier low setting to heat the area where the sticker remains, then it should once warm - hot, make it easier to remove n peel the remains of the sticker.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent thanks I’ll give that a try 😊👊🏻

[@superstock9261]

Eucalyptus oil works to rub it off also

More cool stuff to look forward to 👍🏼

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks Andy 😊👊🏻

[@andrewmagro7703]

Sounds Great Glenn, I was Not Sure what to do with mine as its a 30 yr Anniversary kit so was firstly going box art then i saw many other nice looking styles online so i too may now go down the Scale Street Car Look as i've always loved the look of an Rc Car like a real One , thanks for another great video Glenn , Cheers Bud :-)

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent thanks Andrew 😊👊🏻

[@AddamsPlayground]

this was my first TT02 kit and I did mine in blue without a lot of the stickers and I love it! I masked off the front grill area, the side skirts and the rear diffuser area and painted those all black instead of using all the tiny black stickers. The front is tricky to mask but worth it! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!!

[@adrianharrison5208]

That is going to look so cool!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks buddy 🤩

[@waitthatsgoingtocostyouext5450]

Stunning looking car and your colour scheme sounds epic!! Can't wait to see the finished vehicle. Awesome!😃👍

[@tm5123]

Could paint it like a police car, could be kinda fun. Have some lights on the top etc.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah I’ve seen that done a few times, it does look really good 😊

[@sco771e]

Gonna look great!!!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks Scott 😊👊🏻

I might have some ford decals I will look and get a hold of you

[@TAMIYALegends]

[@mad-beerc3818]

Totally agree Glenn lol yeah tamiya stop sticking them damn stickers on the front of the box right on the boxart👊😫 I have cut out and framed a few boxarts of tamiya's and they look amazing as pictures but l have had that little orange sticker spoil one and l just managed to saved some too! Anyway lol well enough of that! What a great kit Glenn and looking forward to seeing the end result! Got to have a muscle car in your on road collection mate!💪 Hey buddy did you ever start your Hopper? I could do with seeing more old school buggy stuff!😉 l can't really get into the on road stuff even though its very cool! Great vid again mate🤩👍

[@TAMIYALegends]

Hey 👋🏻 So I’ve not been actually building anything as I’ve been working on launching a 2nd channel, but yeah my plan on this channel is to switch over to build videos only in April. I’ve got so much to build I’ve really gotta get into it all 🤣 The new channel is RC Legends and is launching on the 2nd April, I hope you’ll come over to it my friend 😇🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@mad-beerc3818]

@@TAMIYALegends Damn right l will be watching that channel Glenn 🤩👍 Fantastic to hear you are growing again you Glenn and Mick are the two guys that keep it real and have the right balance in your presentation style and great content! Plus very enjoyable to watch for me anyway! Two fantastic RC Channels😉 I am really intrigued about this new channel now sounds great 👍 I am still loyal to Tamiyaclub and have been a member since 2008 but KZbin has really opened up this hobby in many ways to so many people! Its all good for folk like me as there really is not much going on in Cornwall regarding the vintage side of the hobby! So you guys on KZbin have added so much to the enjoyment of the hobby!👍👍👍 l have persuaded a mate to buy a Fighter buggy RX last week though haha so hopefully he enjoys it and he seems well keen and hopefully his interest grows from there? Appreciate the time and effort you put into your fantastic channel/channels buddy as we all do l believe! Keep um coming 🤩🤩🤩

Absolutely gorgous car this Glen. I love the american muscle cars, they have such presence and the engines ( obviousely in real life car ) sound incredible with their beefy V8 Super-Charged roaring! Thanks as always Glenn! Wes, Liverpool UK.

[@taimaishu-nao1922]

NICE!!! That was my first car I bought and… now my chassis is a BEAST! The body masking is a nightmare though. Keep in mind the body does have precut arches but the holes need to be reamed. Another thing is that you should hand paint the PS-5 because masking it up to paint JUST the black details like the splitter and side skirts is redundant and while the manual doesn’t say to do it, you really should mask the taillight panel in the middle because it just looks better in black. Lastly, Tamiya is releasing a pre-painted version of this body set in Corsa Grey. Not sure why when the actual concept car and the box art models all show PS-23 Gunmetal… Wish my body wasn’t thrashed because that gunmetal just looks amazing!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic information as always my friend 🤩👊🏻

[@JF-RC]

Hi Glenn, great Ford Mustang GT4, May I make a suggestion….when you open your video’s you always say ‘welcome to Tamiya Legends and once again thank you for stopping by’! The ‘once again bit’ implies that coming to your channel is a chore? Glenn, your channel is not a chore, your presence on YT is cemented, your content is absolutely great! Please, think of better introduction, fitting to your greatness 😉😊😉take care and best wishes. 😊😉😊

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

[@bamabiker750]

I got this kit a couple years ago when it was first released and did it in full boxart. My first TT-02 as I recall. Anyway, I really enjoy the car. Regarding the ESC mystery, I've noticed this myself with kits I've recently purchased and I think what you have is from a very recent production run of a kit that was first released years ago. So perhaps your kit isn't actually from original stock. Hope that makes sense. Anyway, looking forward to seeing the finished car. Cheers.

Yeah I think you’re spot on my friend 😊👊🏻

Go magnetic body mounts for a sleeker look 😉👍

[@williamberkley9581]

Agreed, putting holes in the shell and having ugly body posts sticking up is never a good look.

[@philmoffett366]

I'm liking your thinking on this one👍 a bit of a modern day shelby GT350? Very cool, I'm with you on those bloody stickers they put on front of the boxes I have a avante black special which has one of those on the front and its really annoying🤨

Thanks Phil yeah those bloody stickers 😡😡😡

[@rcicons4915]

Looks great

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks buddy 😊

[@CharlesGarnierRC]

Hey Glenn! Can I suggest using magnets instead of drilling holes? Does it came with oil shocks or springs like in Europe? My educated guess on the fact it's a TBLE04S: the pandemic didn't allow to find all components to build enough due to chip shortages. Hence fitting a TBLE02S in the Top Force Evo of the GT1 for example.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah I haven’t checked the shocks yet 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️

[@prophetate]

Hi Glenn :) any plans for building this bad boy? one of the coolest cars ever

If you can’t repair the box I’d just put the sticker back on, at least it’ll look original 👍
