I wish Tamiya made a dedicated RWD chassis for touring/rally car's. For a retro bodyshell line.

[@Pablo668]

Nice build so far!

[@PopalongRC]

Thanks!

[@barrycheesemore2928]

That looks like a quality kit and a nice build!!

[@markbruton-young9228]

Needle nose pliers or better still a specific e clip tool would be better than the normal pliers you use. Also some people assemble e clips while both hands are in a plastic bag as when it pings off it will still be in the bag and not on the floor

Pfft.!, No Way. You telling me for forty years I've been...... Man, such a simple, super simple idea, that NOBODY except geniuses would ever think to do. Thanks. Now I've been educated, I'll 100% be using this in the future.

You guys going to the Wheelspin launch party Monday

[@PopalongRC]

We have pencilled it in the diary

Hey Carl, on the diffs, there’s a notch’s where the plastic or metal cross pin sits that’s angled to allow the pin to smoothly go in. Didn’t know if you knew this. These notches are not on older oil gear diffs like the older TT-02 oil gear diff which are a real pain to get assembled properly without pinching the o-ring that would lead to leaks. 🤙🏽

The honeybee my mate said success. I said no 10 seconds and it landed like a rock. I'm going to work on my Lazer zxr

[@markbates3585]

Nice build mate, you know in that spec it fits nicely into our F21turn class at Milton Rc 😂 Just add some rally tyres and life the ride height, away you go

[@markbruton-young9228]

Also i would use AE green slime on the shock seals.

[@GeeShocker]

Nice build 👍 I'm negotiating with myself whether i should get the little brother XM-01pro. I have a 225mm wb L&L Lancer Evo 3 body i have no chassis for. 🤔

❤❤❤

[@Ianlfcm3]

Funny how tamiya can produce quality when they want!!! Its rare tho

[@tomprudden127]

RS is the tarmac/road version of the XV02 Pro, it's the same as the standard Pro but has lower towers and shorter shocks. A bit like the old XV01 TC version

[@PopalongRC]

Looking forward to testing it on the track

[@huubbouten3041]

Pro kits are nice.. not quite TRF.. but very nice!

[@trevorjones5625]

Nice build there mate. The bag with all the oils in, is that a kit or something you purchased over time? Would love a kit in a bag like that.

[@MalcolmHonore]

Thanks for the forecast! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

[@beandean356]

How much does it cost?

[@brianlangford7278]

No way i can settle for plastic diff gears in any car for any amount of $,doomed to failure
