Thanks mate, been having alot of fun with this MJX 😀✌

I have ordered a set and have them here as backup when these plastic ones break.....so far they are holding up....not sure for how long though 😀👍

Luv the lunchbox, too much fun, that goes for all the tamiya classics 😀👍

LOL, no mate definitely not...with the amount of mud on it It was lucky to ride on plastic rubbish bags in the boot 🤣👍

Thanks so much mate, I think if you want a car to race around a track it's better to buy a proper race kit than upgrading a car like this....for me this car will not be replacing a race car, this will be used as a practice car to learn the track and just have a ton of fun....you are right, the TT02b is a fun chassis to upgrade and since there is no shortage of aftermarket parts I just can't help myself adding some modifications 😁✌

Thanks mate definitely these cars will add much fun to a collection, with the right upgrades plasma edge becomes a very capable machine.... also have the TLR shock oils here, will be trying the 45 to see how it does thanks for the tip.....if we can get this car to do some nice clean laps I think it will be done to use as our practice car to learn this track before we go to a proper race car 😀👍

Thanks man, yeah the track was a mess that day but traction and steering worked pretty good , I was surprised how this buggy went round the track in rough conditions, it should do heaps better on a clean dry track....these cars are abit low to the ground but I think with the right suspension setup it should handle it no problem....and that's the beauty of this chassis....from box stock that's not meant to run on a track to a upgraded version that can 😀👍

@@rcbloka very capable buggies.

Thanks buddy, yes the original sand tyres will go back on at some point, this build was to be similar to the hornet so we can race them together and not let one car have an advantage over the other, except motor in this case, should be a close race 😀 👍

I changed the position of the front Shocks and that seems to work, the back needs to stiffen a touch, it's the back that slaps off the jumps, will keep working on it until we get it right , cheers mate 🙂👍

Cheers buddy , all will be explained at some point will do an origin's story but I will say I grew up with rc cars and muscle cars , bikes.....drag racing. So i am abit of a rev head.. bloka was a nickname or a call sign I got from a car, like a motor.....a big block engine , so it's all car related I just fuzed it to RC 😁✌

Thanks so much my man, yeah I'm determined to make this car work for this track, most my cars I drive on the road or off the beaten path but I want a few specific for a race track to get back into racing again, this car is strictly to learn the track more than competing, but will eventually do a race car for racing, just not sure which one yet 😁👍

Cheers mate so true, Tamiya have managed to capture the fun in all their cars , each one uniquely different but all fun 😀✌

Thanks so much mate, we have a few tracks in Sydney most of them are club, I know KaosRC is lucky enough to have a bmx track close to him luv watching his cars on that track 😀👍

Agree as an Australian expat in Malaysia we don't have many free tracks or bmx tracks. Though in South Australia I had West Lakes BMX track and many others plus endless spots and open tracks. Cops will not even send you away for running nitro as there happy your not doing bad things and tellt eh Karen's to go away, so can go to 12am 🤣

Thanks buddy, yes it did surprisingly well on a rough track, can't wait to see how it performs when track conditions are good, TT02B platform has potential 😀👍

Thanks mate, I think this car needs some fine tuning, correct gearing and tyres and on a dry track this car should perform very well, have to wait and see 😀👍

Cheers mate, this car did surprise me how it performed on a muddy track, I noticed alot of guys were running the 1/8th scale Losi truggys on this track 😀✌

Thanks so much mate, yes the track is rough, i spoke to the guys that race here on the weekends and there is still work going on and maintenance etc, it will be interesting to see when it is finished, definitely will be back when its dry for more practice sessions, eventually want to build a race car specific to this track 😃👍

Cheers mate ,yep same....memories never forgotten 😀👍

Thanks so much mate, will check it out, hornets are always a fun build and drive 😀✌

I have taken this car through puddles and have driven it in the rain with no problem but I wouldn't say it's waterproof as electronics are are not sealed 🙂👍

@@rcbloka thanks for information

I would like to get a hornet, are they original tamiya mini 4wd? Also need a race track for these so we can race them, think it would be fun with the family 😀👍

@@rcbloka the knock offs are very similar and look good, but not tamiya. I don't think tamiya makes a hornet or falcon at all.

@@mrdavester i dont know about the hornet but Tamiya makes the falcon, it's called Neo Falcon, i have one here 👍

@rcbloka yes, it's not like the 1/10 80s model tho. This one is

Mate I just got some track time with this car and the turn buckle set makes it a must, being able to tune camber and toe in /out and steering is a huge advantage 😀👍

Wow that's awesome man, enjoy japan and definitely pick up a few things from there the prices are too good to miss, heared the food there is also next level 😁✌

@rcbloka Japan is amazing place, as an Aussie expat I live in Malaysia and travel all over South East Asia. Korea also has some great shops and I'm dlways on the hunt when I'm away.

@@kanenstuff Asia has always been on my list in places to see especially Japan, hopefully sometime i will get to go 😃👍

@rcbloka I moved from Adelaide 10yrs ago spent 4yrs in Singapore 4yrs in the Philippines and 2.5yrs in Malaysia and seen all of Asia. I'm just lucky it's all paid for by work. You should get over and have a look go to Japan and stop in Thailand you will love it and get some bargains.

Cheers mate yes I think the layout is similar , both entry level but I think the DF02 has some slightly better components like the gears, I haven't built one yet so I can't confirm, but both are a step under the DF03 😀👍

@rcbloka I have a DF02 Gravel Hound and the only real difference I see is the battery tray but everything else is almost identical

This is a 1/16th scale ✌

Sure is mate, the fact that you can go all out on this chassis and set it up they way you want definitely makes it popular 😀👍

That's awesome thanks so much man, will look into it , first will see how it goes on the track with these upgrades and then will fine tune, thanks again for the tip, cheers 😀👍

Thanks so much mate, alot of fun building this only thing left is to see it in action 😄👍

@@rcbloka can’t wait to see how it does!!

@@shadowracer2311 i know it still needs are few things and tuning but need to take it on the track for some practise laps to confirm, track was wet last week will try again this week, this car will see some action very soon 😃✌

Thanks so much buddy, for all the things you can do to a TT02B it's hard not to be a fan of this buggy 😀✌

Cheers mate, let's hope so, have been trying to get some track time with it but the weather has been holding us back, hopefully soon with abit of luck 🙂👍

Thanks so much mate, awesome entry level car to start with and upgrade , the loads of upgrades made these cars so popular , just need to see now if this car cuts it on the track for practice 😀👍

Thanks mate, the new track is at Lansdowne, across from the old track, the first track I have raced at in the 90s 😀👍

Thanks so much mate 😀 👍

Fingers crossed Tamiya does a re release of the Falcon sometime, for sure will be getting my hands on that car 🙂✌

@@rcbloka Great channel by the way. Love your approach to videos.

@@hilltopperblog thanks so much buddy, have been trying different things to get some entertainment into the vids, will keep trying to do better 😀👍

Thanks so much CrazyDad, will see how this does on the track 🙂👍

I was in competition with my neighbour also, always upgrading and racing each other, good fun.....yes you see plenty of Losi and Schumacher on the race track these days 😁👍

Thank you mate, had tons of fun making this and for most of us these cars will have that special place 😃👍

Thanks so much mate, yep for sure will consider oil, springs ,want to take it on the track first to see how it does and see what we need to fine tune, definitely going to need tyres 🙂👍

Thanks mate, will be taking it to the track soon, waiting on a fee good days for the track to be dry, I take my time with the builds so this one took me from the morning to afternoon, roughly 🙂👍

Thanks so much mate, i haven't driven the car yet i took it to the track today but was too muddy, will try again next week, hopefully with the upgrades we will able to do laps without too much trouble will have to wait and see, yes Scaleworks inspired us with his speed run to get the TT02B built sooner rather than later, amazing work, will need to check yours out too soon😃👍

No problemos man, I want to get it out on track soon and just learn the layout , jump speeds etc, I'm sure now this buggy is up for the task 🙂👍

@@rcbloka Awesome.. It's really nice to feel like part of the community 🫡

Thanks buddy, these cars being an entry level are pretty affordable these days 👍

Thanks so much buddy, will look into the settings am always striving to make a more polished video, I didn't think the new LEDs was the cause thanks for the tip 😀 👍

I never got to experience a Bear Hawk but the Hornets steering is pretty good for the type of car it is, I'm running a TSU05 servo so nothing high end as you will not get precision steering out of this like a race car, but for having fun on the grass , sand , dirt and road, steering this car where you want it to go is no problem 🙂✌

These cars are all fun and laughs, cheers 😁👍

Thank you mate, there was some epic crash landings also 😄✌

That's awesome man, it's amazing to hear all the different unique mods people used to do to these cars, springs from a ballpoint pen that is a first for me, brilliant 😄✌

This mini 4wd looks pretty good now sitting on the shelf, thanks again buddy 🙂👍

Thanks so much Mate.....much appreciated, it is a cool car from MJX had so much fun with this little rig 😀👍

Thanks so much buddy , I think MJX is up there with the best if not leading the way of budget RCs, definitely going in mine also 😁👍
