Tamiya TC-01 First Run

[@barrycheesemore2928]

Wow, what a thing!! It goes really, really well, and I was surprised how fast it was with the 21-turn motor in it. Personally, as much as I like the Formula E bodyshell, I'd probably run it with a similar body to the one you used in this video, it looks awesome! Excellent video as always!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah tbh I really didn’t fancy running it with the formula e shell 🤕🤕🤕

[@jaxonbeilner9258]

She runs smooth,nice video Glen!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks for watching my friend 😎👊🏻

[@Ratty_Rex]

That's amazingly quiet...... and 21 turn 2s..... pretty fast too!! The bodyshell really does suit it.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks buddy 😊👊🏻

[@slebdad]

Looks really good. Great handling out of the box. Much better than most of their chassis.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah it’s feels like a high end car but tbh it doesn’t have a high end price which is awesome 😎

[@markhollinshead5795]

ive just orderd one sounds smooth

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent 😊😊😊

[@bravo0105]

It looks EXCELLENT with that body and the wheels! It makes me want to assemble one in a similar fashion with an Onyx brushless setup.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Do it do it 😎👊🏻

[@mattmclafferty6265]

Fast man, and smooth, very cool. Gauranga!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks Matt 😊👊🏻

[@n22pdf]

Wow quick with the brushed motor.. be great to see it on brushless motor and speedo upgrade

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah we’ll definitely have it out again with a better set up Pete 😅👊🏻

[@webhead8030]

Got the chance to run mine for the first the other day lowered the ride at the front more than the rear it just felt so planted, though I may have too much power with the brushless motor I put in didn't get to fully open the taps but it's like a bullet (painting up a "nice' body after a couple of bumps)

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic 😊😊😊

[@darkstorm303]

She gets a wriggle on and amazed at how quite it runs and grips well now tyre's wearing in ..nice run video sir . 😎👊👌🔥🔥🔥

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thank you 😊

[@alphawlff]

Thank you for this. I have been curious about normal car bodies on this chassis.

[@canuckchuck8836]

You are absolutely right! I live in the same city as you and trying to find a large flat surface that is not all cracked or strewn with gravel is next to impossible. I don't think we even have any RC tracks in our area let alone any opportunities for rock crawling...not that I am bitter! 😜

[@TAMIYALegends]

Haha great comment my friend 🤣👊🏻

[@UncleBobsRC]

Wow Glenn, that's a great running chassis. It's so very quiet too, I thought I heard a mouse fart. Awesome run my friend, Great job!!!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Mouse fart 🤣🤣🤣

[@Freddie44utube]

It is very quick! Maybe over geared a bit it’s lovely and quiet I assume you haven’t changed the spur gear for the 0.4 pitch… Your drive has improved so much over the last year no more pumping the throttle, you’re looking very professional!

[@andrewmagro7703]

Very Very Nice Glenn, Handles well and i can see theres lots and lots of potential in this kit- Super quite and so so smooth yeah 10/10, so chuffed i have one on the build list and that setup you have as in motor and box stock setup is pretty good straight off the bat, once you tweak it up a little this thing will definitely rip nicely around the track and now i can see how there is possibilities for doing well in touring car racing , cheers and thanks for the enjoyable Video.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks Andrew 😎 Next time you see this car, we’ll be adding bling to it 🤩🤩🤩

[@adrianharrison5208]

Love it and what a chassis! I think one of these will have to bought very soon 🤔. I love how smooth that chassis is and the way it puts the power down

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent 😊😊😊

[@craigroberts8105]

Very nice running video that looked pretty rapid with a 21t motor body shell looks very cool with the original nsx rear spoiler good video Glenn 👍👍

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks Craig 😊👊🏻

[@jasonsrcstuff9278]

I love the handling and great attitude this car has. I think it’s so forgiving that it just seems to want more power!!!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah I’d love to get it on an actual track Jason, car park and cones isn’t ideal 🤣👊🏻

[@jasonsrcstuff9278]

Come visit some time sir. I’ll take ya track racing.

[@rcicons4915]

Great fun! Nothing like a great handling touring car on a nice flat parking lot. The TC01 is a great and affordable chassis. Tamiya did a great job with its design. Hoping the TD4 and TD2 will follow suite.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Absolutely my friend 🤩👊🏻

[@paulus842000]

Absolutely wonderful car. I would of been a bit further down the carpark so I could do a few speed runs and not worry about the curb at the end of the carpark. Brilliant video.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent we’ll definitely have it out again soon 🤩👊🏻

[@taimaishu-nao1922]

Funny I almost bought this chassis as my first hobby RC kit. Really amazing to be honest. Nothing against the TT-02 but you honestly can’t compare this chassis against it. It’s just *that much* better. Hopefully we get to see more hop-ups made for them.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent thanks as always for watching my friend 😊👊🏻

[@craigbailey7096]

Awsome I'm running a tamiya 11t supermodifed drives lovely

Thanks for watching buddy 🤩👊🏻

[@DashDrones]

So smooth and quiet.. nice speed too👍

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks buddy 😊👊🏻

[@crutlefish6592]

Defo interested in a speed run! Really interesting video, the TC-01 chassis seems really interesting.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah it certainly is, it’s completely unique and we might not see it again 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️ I actually think this would be a great speed run platform with one of those ultra low touring car shells or indeed a Le Mans shell 🤔

[@crutlefish6592]

@@TAMIYALegends I really like the idea of a 1/10th scale electric race car that is also an electric rc car. I'm lusting after the F104 Pro 2, but I also think this is going to get snuck into the same purchase. But I've got three kits to build now, so it'll have to wait until after then before I could justify the purchase. I think I'd also, like you, have custom liveries.

[@paulv4130]

I'm interested in the lay down shocks and suspension. How does it compare to other Tamiya touring cars?

[@wayneyates700]

I'm still loving that NSX shell Glenn 👍, it did run really quiet. I'm defo up for seeing it again for speed runs think it might surprise us all👍👍

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent thanks Wayne 😊👊🏻

[@tm5123]

This was a fun watch mate, I'm looking to get one of these for xmas, but see how that goes. The tc-01 seems lovely to drive, perhaps a bit understeerey, but looks really solid to drive.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic next up is to do the Formula e body set, not looking forward to that at all 🤣👊🏻

That was interesting how quickly those tyres scrubbed.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah it didn’t take long, it was cool because obviously the longer a ran it, the more grip I got 😊👊🏻

[@andrewsartorius7350]

Amazing love it

[@ericwood2790]

It looks like a nice street chassis, kind of reminds me of the TD4 and 2 with the inline shocks and upgraded plastic. And yes I definitely want to see you put in a hot motor so we can see it fly .

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent thanks Eric 😊👊🏻

[@stephenstott4970]

Hi Glenn, I suspect your grip problem will down to fuel and oil patches that are made worse with the wet surface!. Steve. UK.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Hey 👋🏻 Yeah it’s funny you thought it was a wet surface , that car park has just been out down and the conditions were hot and bone dry. But I see on the video it did look wet lol 😂

[@lionelplunkett9428]

G'day Glenn yeah that thing bloody fly's mate. After watching charging a battery to run in my TRF416 blow off the cobwebs. Awesome car Glenn 👍👍

[@TAMIYALegends]

Oh wow you have a 416 😍😍😍

[@lionelplunkett9428]

Can I send you some pictures of my collection mate just the Tamiya's I have original grasshopper hotshot and a few re re and the 416 and a VDF drift spec lol and a on road race truck

@@lionelplunkett9428 Yeah please do my friend 😍 [e-mail]

[@KamalNsouli]

Excellent vid Glenn. I recently bought a TC01, and I'm planning a special build for the chassis. All its hopups are going to be non-Tamiya (and there are lots!). Also I'm thinking of making the body flat black, like a Batmobile of sorts.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent my friend 😊👊🏻 Next time you see this one I’ll be adding some hop ups too 😇

Yeah it was quicker than I expected tbh 😊🚗💨💨

[@TheRCScotsman]

_Beautifully_ smooth sounding! I do love a sweet sounding touri- I mean Formu- I mean NSX! Have always been interested in this chassis. Think it would be a good basis for a 1 make series.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Yeah it’s a lovely chassis but that formula e body set 🤢🤢🤢

[@TheRCScotsman]

@@TAMIYALegends Hey, I like it! Even though I don't care for Formula E.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Fantastic you can cut my body set out at the same time your doing yours if you want 🤣 Just can’t seem to get the will to start it 🤕🤕🤕

[@mikeymike3240]

Hi Glen, you should get a set of Tamiya super slick tyres for your testing, they stick to the road like cow 🐮 shit to a blanket, lol 😂, they really do, and they grip just as well in the wet as in the dry. Awesome rc that is, and it’s really quiet 🤫, as you said. Niiiiiiiiiiice video. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks buddy I’ve actually got a couple of sets of them, I just hate glueing them on the wheels 🤕👊🏻

[@robertlongley9153]

Looks like a pretty good handing car. Needs some fans on the electric stuff. Can’t wait to see the body on it

[@TAMIYALegends]

Thanks Robert 😊👊🏻

Nice car. Do you have a link for the tires you are using?

[@TAMIYALegends]

I don’t have a link unfortunately but there on the Eurorc website if that helps 👊🏻

Always use those servos, excellent for the price. 20 odd quid on eBay. As good as 1s iv bought for twice the price 😉 and low profile 👍 Thanks 1ce again for an excellent video Glenn 🤝

[@zosozoso2]

Absolutely cool thing!! I have a TA04 & TA06, but been looking for this thing as well ;-) Now, I got an idea, why not make some timings with different cars on this set-up of cones, or a different one. The thing is that the cones need to be set the same way, but that is manageble ;-)

[@TAMIYALegends]

Excellent idea 😊👊🏻

[@wadeskelton7585]

🤣🤣🤣 the cone on the first lap

[@TAMIYALegends]

🤣🤣🤣 But that was the only one 😇😇😇

[@TheWoodlandhoBo]

My question to you is… how is it when I put 2s on a brushed motor it stops after 2 minutes with overheating? Cools down and off it goes again for 2 mins. Tamiya TBLE2 with an RZ motor. Thank you

[@TAMIYALegends]

That’s because that set up is right on that speedo’s limit, the esc is going into limp mode due to the built in thermal cut out when it gets too hot. The hop up Tamiya fan should hopefully cure this 🤷🏼‍♂️. I’ve used this set up a lot with the fan and never had an issue Tim 👊🏻

[@TheWoodlandhoBo]

@@TAMIYALegends top man. Have a good weekend 👍🏻
