Tamiya TT01E Racing Truck Bodywork

Welcome to the wonderful painful world of putting together the body of the Tamiya TT-01E BUGGYRA FAT FOX racing truck. Honestly this body took me 4 days to complete 2 of which were cutting and sticking the decals. I ended up with 51 minutes of footage which I managed to edit down to only 21. I know, I know it's a bit long but by the time I got to this point I was tired and had almost lost the will to live😁😂
Hope you enjoy and don't forget 'Don't Fear The Pooper'💩💩💩💩
This model recreates the Buggyra Racing Fat Fox piloted in the 2018 season of the European truck racing circuit by 2017 champion Adam Lacko. The realistic body is a 3-piece set made from lightweight and durable polycarbonate, with separately moulded plastic side mirrors, coupler and rear bumper parts. The TT-01 Type-E chassis is a proven performer, and this chassis is fitted with dedicated semi-truck wheels and tires for the model.
TT-01 E Chassis
The bathtub frame of the evolved shaft-driven 4WD TT-01 Type-E has its motor and battery close to the ground for lower centre of gravity and optimum balance. Mounted on the bathtub frame is a fibreglass reinforced nylon upper deck and gear covers improving rigidity, as well as a 3-piece tie rod providing a smoother steering action. The low centre of gravity, great balanced design, 4-wheel double wishbone suspension system, and front and rear differential gears all come together to produce excellent operating ability. 70mm-diameter radial tires are paired with wheels developed just for this model; the high sidewalls make for forgiving turns.
• 1/14 scale R/C model assembly kit. Length: 420mm, width: 187mm, height: 188mm.
• The Buggyra Fat Fox form is captured by a 3-piece polycarbonate body (2 cab components and body) put together using double-sided tape.
• Separate polycarbonate rear fender and coupler parts, moulded plastic side mirrors and 2-piece rear bumper.
• Included stickers recreating the sponsors and livery of the #1 truck for the 2018 season, driven by Adam Lacko.
• Black moulded wheels and 70mm diameter radial tires are specifically designed for racing truck models.
• Features moulded parts compatible with 5mm taillight LEDs in separately-sold Tamiya LED Light Unit.
• The TT-01 Type-E chassis features shaft-driven 4WD with easy handling and great customizability.
• TT-01 Type-E chassis Hop-Up Options available.
• Includes 540-Type Brushed motor (Torque Tuned).

What a great looking truck, awesome work, Rob. And those decals... Holy cow, it's as bad as the Nissan Motul Body. Lol!

[@robbrennanrc]

Cheers Fil. Well if that's the case then I won't be one of those anytime soon😁

[@RCBirds]

These bodies're challenging and take more time than thr chassis. But they're Tamiyas and come great togeteher in the end. Great job Rob

[@robbrennanrc]

So true Dirk. Many thanks and all the best buddy.

[@cw-01creations46]

Once again Rob, you have knocked the paintjob and the intricate job of putting it all together, out of the park. You are a Master Craftsman at building Tamiya RC kits 👍👍👍 The L.e.d lights are the finishing touch on the chassis. Congratulations 🤘

[@robbrennanrc]

Hi Peter. I don't know about that, more like good covering up and editing 😁😂 I do like to add LED's when possible. Once again Peter thank you so very much for this fantastic gift my friend.

[@James-bristol]

That’s a hard body to do so many stickers … great work

[@robbrennanrc]

Thanks James it was a marathon for sure. ATB my friend

[@stevemoon2136]

[@michaelpollard9450]

Well done. I didn't do box art,so I can pick what stickers I want

[@robbrennanrc]

I don't blame you Michael but it was one of those kits that I love the look of box art and it was a gift. Many thanks and ATB buddy.

G'day Mr Rob🙋‍♀️🤠 That turned out looking awesome mate👌🏅 I've heard they're hard to build but you made it look easy!, the decals look spot on too Cobber 👍. Good to see the production Manger and quality control Manager on set keeping an eye on you🧐. Sheila said to say hello Cobber💁. We hope you're having a great weekend mate😁🦘🇦🇺

[@robbrennanrc]

Hi Bruce & Sheila. That's the good thing with editing, you can removed the minutes/hours spent scratching your head trying to workout how something should go together hehehe. Ken and Shoebert are fine thanks but may not be in a future vid. Well all was good as we were having some dry, sunny days but now back to overcast rainy ones😫😞 Many thanks and lots of hugs Cobbers

Hi Mr Rob, It looks brilliant and I like the driver idea!👌 I’m building one at the mo (my first build) And I was wondering…. Do I need to glue the tyres on and do I need the foam inserts? Also….what driver did you use? I might get one 😂 Many thanks 👍
