Looks like a pretty easy build, and no major issues. Awesome!!

Yokomo kit quality is unreal. Instructions aren't quite Tamiya quality, but the fit and finish of parts are unlike any other kit, especially at this price point!

Just to think the Tamiya TT02 comes in at the same price different class yokomo, you can't race with Tamiya box tyres as someone commented no tyres included. Some comments on chassis flex don't worry some of the pros with £800 cars at my club like some chassis flex modern TC have very thin top decks with thinner options for aspallt/tarmac outdoor. Nice video let's face we're all not going to be top of the A-final we must learn how to drive first so it's a perfect choice. Also when you see racers with say an Awesomatics or Schumacher they are constantly on camber gauges or something after every race, sometimes best to be simple.

I've a follow up video to this, highlighting some of the more subtle changes between the RS1.0 and the RS2.0. it's also compared to my full blown MS1.0. the 2.0 is actually stiffer than the RS1.0 and not far away from the MS1.0. Then I've put it into context by pointing out the front hubs of my MS1.0 are more than half the price of the full RS2.0 kit!

Cracking insight on the build of this kit. So the drilling of the shock cap, that’s something you have to do / you choose to do as it helps? Also enjoyed the old skool Chicago / Detroit house track 😉

[@Gingapaint]

We just find the shocks are easier to make equal with the holes drilled. The diaphragm is there to compensate for the additional volume that the shaft takes up on compression. If it's sealed above this, the air trapped can act like a spring, which works well in an off road shock, but can make shorter shocks difficult to get consistent. Also means that the oil damps and the spring rebounds. For tyres, we're running a control tyre at our club. Rush I believe. Body wise, it's personal but an Extreme Twister is always a good place to start! :) hope that helps!

[@chowettgoes]

Another couple of questions… I’m guessing no wheels and tires in the kit, what would you recommend for carpet. Similarly what body shell do you run?

[@Gingapaint]

No wheels or tyres in the kit. It's not a bad thing, I used to have loads of those useless Proline treaded things from tc3s etc years ago! We run control tyres at our club. They're the same tyre as the BRCA nationals. For bodies , start with an Extreme Twister and go from there. This car will run an HPI Impreza Type C, because I've 4 of them, I bought them cheap and my young fella is hard on them!! 😂😂

How stiff is the chassis when everything is bolted together please? I am tempted by one of this to try TC at our local track but all the guys are running alloy chassis and i am worried this will have too much flex. Cheers

[@Gingapaint]

Hi Matt. I was a little wary of how flexible this would be, as well. When it's all built I would say it's actually slightly more rigid than the RS1.0. I'll be doing a comparison video with the old car and the MS1.0 after this weekend. If you haven't already, hit subscribe so you don't miss it! :)

​@@Gingapaint brilliant thanks for the quick response, I've subscribed 👍

Hi, Do you speay shells for customers? If so what do you charge ? Its a B7 Btw i dont have FB Thanks Adrian

[@Gingapaint]

Hi Adrian, I used to paint commercially for Club racers, world champions and everyone in between! Unfortunately with health issues I've had to cut back to only painting for a handful of friends. I'm trying to pass on what I can, though :) If you're based in Northern Ireland, my buddy Graham Kenny ( KPAINT) is really good and efficient. Otherwise, I can point you in the right direction :)

[@douglaspuglas6888]

@@Gingapaint ok no worries thanks for letting me know. I'm in Staffordshire (UK)

[@Gingapaint]

I'm trying to think who's local. Terry from Tels Shells, Jon from RCS, Paul from Puppy Paint are all great. Best bet will be to ask who's available at your local club. If you're really stuck and in no rush, I have a B7 body sitting at the moment. You can email me at [e-mail]
