[@chloedevereaux1801]

the white 10 spokers straight off the bat........... :D

[@TAMIYALegends]

chloe devereaux Yeah I’m there now myself, they look much better 😊👊🏻

[@GrandTrunkWestern85]

Appreciate you and the passion you've got for the hobby. It's alot of work for not much return and we're grateful for it. I dig the two piece wheels but until the shell is on you never really know. Thanks again Big Glenn!

[@GrandTrunkWestern85]

Them steering arms are such an improvement over stock especially on the 02. Not all my blingy bits give a performance upgrade but I do love those. I left all the steering/camber turnbuckels off mine. I know you've got other kits with them on. Do you have a way to set them up or do you just eyeball it? I'd be cool to seena setup vid if you don't already have one.

[@GrandTrunkWestern85]

The kit for the 02 had bearing in the swing arms. Thats silly to have a plastic bushing in them the low friction bearings are what makes them so awesome

[@TAMIYALegends]

FreddyBoomBoom's Channel 1985 Thanks buddy 😊👊🏻 Yeah your right I won’t know for sure until it’s build with the shell on 😬 Regarding set up, I do it by feel tbh, which I know isn’t the best method lol, but it’s good enough for the running I do. When I was into racing 1/10 touring cars, I use to have all the set up gear, that was next level stuff 🤩👊🏻

[@StewMac570]

Love the build. I like the all white wheels.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Stew- Mac Lol 😂 Stewart, I didn’t expect the wheel choice to be so much fun, but since making this video I’ve got another two sets 😂👊🏻

[@StewMac570]

TAMIYA Legends hahaha different wheel for each corner?

Stew- Mac Love it 😂👊🏻

Leons rc hobbys Cheers buddy, it’s been expensive, I could of bought a TRF lol 😂 but where’s the fun in that 🤩

[@marcstewart2984]

10 spoke is the one. You could bling them with a Molotow Liquid Chrome marker if you wanted.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Marc Stewart Oh I’ll google that now buddy 😊👊🏻

[@davepearce6359]

Well done Glenn, another stonking fun video, a bit frustrating at times for you but you will overcome and sort it. Thanks. 😎👍🏻

[@TAMIYALegends]

Dave Pearce Yeah it is frustrating Dave, but then I think what I’m actually doing and how much fun it is 🤩👊🏻

[@DoRC]

11:41 I think those top spacers on the steering need to be flipped. The side that is currently up looks chamfered so it doesn't drag on the bearing shields...

[@TAMIYALegends]

Do RC Excellent feedback buddy it’s much appreciated, I’ll check that out 😊👊🏻

[@brianl426]

On the stock black wheels use Tamiya white or grey primer and then a gloss white. Personally think a Gunmetal color would look nice as well.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Brian L Thanks Brian, i’ve now decided to wait until it’s fully built and the Shell is fitted, before I decide on what wheels I’m going to use lol. I need to make sure that my off sets are correct too 😬 Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@RCVHX22]

Looks great so far my friend wow nice job

[@TAMIYALegends]

RC VHX 22 Thanks for watching 😊👊🏻

[@mitymike]

Check the thread length on the yeah racing CV axles I believe they are longer than stock, I have two piece wheels on my tt01 project and have a few threads showing past the lock nut but I used the clamping hex drives not the discs

[@TAMIYALegends]

mitymike 1996 Oh excellent I’ll have a look, thanks for letting me know buddy 😊👊🏻

[@TAMIYALegends]

Mr B Excellent welcome to the channel my friend 🤩👊🏻

[@korc2157]

Great in depth video, definitely should go the 10 spoke, more detail. I always found the 2 piece tamiya wheels odd looking. Cant wait to see you put this puzzle together.👍👍

[@stevo5222]

Glenn, if the posts are to short which I think they will be, add spacers between the posts and chassis.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Steven Butler Great idea buddy, I’m waiting on the carbon strap to turn up, then I can have a look at it 😬 Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@eddiebottoms1353]

Looks great so far. I personally think that the plain white wheels look sharper; the tyres have a better low profile presentation without the chrome surround and the discs are more pronounced. 🙂

[@TAMIYALegends]

Eddie Bottoms Yep totally agree Eddie 😊👊🏻

[@mavos1211]

I prefer the silver rims on the wheels, after all it is a bling project.

[@TAMIYALegends]

mavos1211 Yep I know what you’re saying buddy 👊🏻 Thanks for watching 😊

[@mavos1211]

TAMIYA Legends I wrote that comment before you made your decision, great minds think alike! What a shame it didn’t work out. Absolutely love the disc brakes and the decals they really do make a massive difference! Taking things probably too far I wonder if you could wire an Orange / red LED behind the disc to glow slightly

[@TAMIYALegends]

mavos1211 Oh now there’s an idea 🤔

[@OurBarbieFilms]

Keep the Yeah-Racing brake-disks with the white-wheels, regardless of which car they're put on. The chrome-wheels don't show the brake-disks off, well enough, and actually hide them quite a bit. I have painted standard Tamiya disks, in silver, to a similar effect, which would be a good solution here also.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Mark Beezhold Yeah that a great shout on the Tamiya plastic discs Mark. I’m now waiting to get it built and sit the shell on before I make any more decisions lol 😂 Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@NordicRC]

Nice one, my friend. Bling TT-01 sure looking bling now. Nice! Maybe one can get gear boxes carved out in diamond? Would look cool :-) Nah, seriously, I love these projects. Keep 'em coming bro. Great with the chassis and the other parts. Good fit. If you need more height on those battery mounts when the carbon stay arrives, could a few aluminium spacers help? If it doesn't destroy the looks, that is.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Nordic RC Visions Oh I missed this comment my friend 😞. Really sorry I don’t always get notifications for the comments 😬

[@NordicRC]

TAMIYA Legends No worries, my friend. Happens to me too 🙂

[@DoRC]

To me the chrome wheels kinda look bad. Because if the way they are made they don't look like real wheels....

[@TAMIYALegends]

Do RC Agreed buddy, a lot has changed since I made this video 😂👊🏻

[@chloedevereaux1801]

take the white insert out and put it on the other side of the chrome, then it will fit

[@GTiR23]

Those chrome two piece wheels came with the Castrol Supra kit back in the day (TA-02W)

[@TAMIYALegends]

Gary G Excellent information Gary, I didn’t know that buddy 😊👊🏻

[@stevo5222]

Glenn, In my opinion the tamiya 53232 wheels suit the escort a treat, I have some on my Repsol escort, I'd send you a picture but I don't do Facebook.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Steven Butler Hey Steven you can email me buddy, my email is in the about section 😊👊🏻

[@jamescunliffe9872]

Thin spoke! I think you could invest in a set of specialized tools to create exactly what you need + an airbrush,thread taps etc. I was never happy with the way the body shells mounted with split pins and I changed to either plates screwed to the inside of the polycarbonate with Velcro or small screws with flat heads tapped into the post with washers

[@TAMIYALegends]

James Cunliffe Wow James, yeah I don’t think my skills are at that level unfortunately buddy. I really would like to do so much more and learn new tricks! I need to get out of your comfort zone don’t I 😬

[@jedi69outcast]

Have you seen the brake disc that light up red when you want them to? They glow red to simulate hot brake discs during racing

[@stephenstott5898]

Hi Glenn, again you can't bodge the two piece wheels because the screws hold the rims to the centre part of the wheel. Steve MCR UK.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Stephen Stott Yeah as it’s a display car I was thinking I could glue them and the wheel but would keep it all together, but that’s not really a fix, so I’m hoping the other 10 spoke wheels will all line up on the Porsche shell 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@johnjosey5184]

Another cracking video glenn 👍👍👍 A man after my own heart. You do all the stuff i should be doing but cant be arsed most of the time. I have the discs and calipers fitted to a nearly 20yr old TG10 chassis and they look superb. The calipers i have are mounted to the hub where the outer bearing goes and then you fit a smaller OD bearing in the caliper mount. To stop the caliper rotating a long'ish' set screw is screwed from the calper bracket to the plastic upright. The calipers are stamped 'brembo' in white lettering. They really do look super cool. My advice would be - do whatever it takes to get them on the car, they really are the cherry on top 👍👍👍👍👍 I've grabbed your e-mail from your channel, i'll try and send you some pictures if it'll help.

[@TAMIYALegends]

John Josey Oh yes please do that would be awesome John 😊👊🏻

[@niklas2378]

use the 10 spokes, they look better:-) you should also consider scratchbuilding some calipers for the discbrakes. im thinking evergreen styreen sheet (it glues fantastic with tamiya super thin liquid cement) the only engineering would be to make a bracket to attatch to the hubs so the calipers dont move while driving. you can almost make anything with evergreen (im not sponsored btw:-))

[@TAMIYALegends]

niklas2378 Yeah it sounds great but I feel that might be above my skill level 😬 Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻

[@TAMIYALegends]

niklas2378 Yeah it sounds great but I feel that might be above my skill level 😬 Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻

[@DrDiff952]

The chrome wheels clash with the blue anodizing. 10 spoke is thinner so you see more of the break disks. The chrome 5 spoke rims hide the break disks!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Dean Cory Yep totally agree Dean, that’s the wheels I’ll go with as long as the off sets are correct to match the body shell 😬 Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻

[@stephenstott5898]

Hi Glenn, the discs are drilled not vented! Vented discs have holes in the edge. Steve MCR UK.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Stephen Stott Oh I stand corrected buddy 😬 Anyway they still look cool 😎 Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻

[@markcargill1185]

Why not just use a barrel nut like hex extensions use. Cut it down and shorten it, itll give you threads that go inside the wheel and should work great.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Mark Cargill Yeah that’s a great shout Mark, thanks for the feedback buddy it’s much appreciated 😊👊🏻

Great car! In the next time can we see it on road? Thanks

[@stevenwilson5737]

Paint the 10 spokes white gloss, it makes them look a lot more scale with a bit of reflection, I’d use them.

[@TAMIYALegends]

steven Wilson Nice one Steven, that’s a great tip thank you 😊👊🏻

[@DrDiff952]

If you had a side by side battery pack it would sit down in the chassis and the blue battery posts wouldn't be an issue!

Hopefully you can use the two piece wheels and do the rears in the deeper dish set up for the Porsche. Nice vid looking forward to the next episode.

M Cook Thanks buddy, yeah until it’s built and the shell is on, I’m not going to know for sure what works and what doesn’t 😬 Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@Beastnappy]

THIS👍

[@ss9c1]

Might I suggest using 1" gorilla tape [duct tape] to strap the tyres before you put the foams in and glue the tyres to the wheels. To prevent ballooning on the speed runs.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Karl Johnson Nice one Karl, I’ll definitely do that when I finally decide which wheels I’m using 😂👊🏻 Thanks for watching buddy

[@driftcraze2138]

The steering rack looks tight the bushings looked thinner than the bearings you put on that's why you may be getting the tightness or the stiffness because it looks like you're really forcing it with your fingers.

[@bamabiker750]

To be honest, I really don't like the chrome two piece wheels. The 10 spoke ones are identical to the ones I have on my 1:1 Mustang Shelby GT500 tribute project car so I'm partial to them. Plus they show the disc better. The tire decals look awesome!! Is there a faux caliper available to go with the discs?

[@TAMIYALegends]

As a bling project i would have been looking at the aluminum rims. Which i did get off aliexpress.. which are on my tt02 toyota 86 .. the rims are shiny . They are slightly larger in diameter. It has a triangle and oblong shape pattern to them.. they were around $20aud.. there are huge amounts of designs.. there are also ones that might blow up the budget.. at around 60 for a pair . Spider like in design.. So see ebay/aliexpress.. if as i watch your wheel attaching issue..

[@somefuckingprick]

It's a shame about those two piece wheels. The ten spoke should definitely go on the TA05R speed run car tho (They're lighter, so less rotational mass). I know this hobby gets expensive as it is, but you can always add some aluminum rims :) (They're are nice sets on eBay for cheap, in a bunch of different styles and tire patterns). Looking forward to the rest of the build, and seeing it completed!
