Thanks. Slowly climbing 😁🤝

I discovered the 10t as I disassembled the motor. And before, I was looking for one (always thought mine had a 13t). I guess I will look for a complete, not bad, 13t + a can in the future 😁🤝

Yup. For now 😁🤝

I have one and will probably test it in the MF01x Challenge 😉 Still I will not go crazy with motor run on the PBRC challenge. Almost directly to the point 😁🤝

Either I will track a can or in my next "buyee" crazyness, I will acquire a not bad one. Or both 😁🤝

Yeah, the Clio Williams I guess. Hard to find in good shape 😢🤝

@@coygtrc Yah I miss it. I wish they would bring back all the ff01-03. And they all had ball diffs.

It was surprisingly nice. So much that later, I acquired an FF02 and an FF03 😇🤝

Thanks 🤝I was surprised by the handling and the lack of severe understeer. To be honest, the stock motor (and maybe the gear diff ?) does help in that case. It may be another story with even a simple Sport Tuned (not mentioning a brushless). As that car is cracked at several places, I went easy with her 😁🤝

Thanks Uncle Bob 🤝Yeah that's a cool setup. The Vectra is nice, but there are so many FWD out there. If only Tamiya would put some of their old body on the BT01 in FF config (Nissan Primera, Honda Accord, Ford Mondeo, Volvo 850 and many other) 🎅🤝

@@coygtrc Or just release the body seys again... I think the last FF Tamiya made was a very limited FF-05...

Thanks 🤝

Thanks 🤝 Well, now there's the BT01 chassis that can be setup as FWD, but for added realism, you would need an adequate FWD body, not the Supra who is a pure FR (front motor, rear wheel drive). Or you can probably find some "used" FF01,2,3 here and there (Kleinanzeigen in Germany)😁🤝

Wow, a NIB 😮 This one is not perfect (lots of cracked parts), but more than enough to display (and doing a mild run with). As Tamiya has again a FWD chassis (BT01), I wish they re-re some of the iconic bodies to go with🤝

@@coygtrc yeah it was a lucky fimd at a decent price from Japan. Really meed to build it.. and as for the BT01, i really hope they do. It would be a great platform for them

Maybe that's the driver 🤔😁😁😁FIrst time driving a on-road FWD. My previous and single front wheel drive run, was a test of a Kyosho Maxxum, around 35 years ago (1989 I guess) 😵 Quite unrelated, but I wish I had a Maxxum (Although Kyosho may re-re it, we never know) 🤝

Thanks 🤝 I wish I had a longer smoother disturbance free road to go even faster 😵🤝

Yes, we're sniffing Mark's bottom 😅 I love brushed motors, some are so beautiful. Of course, that's more work than brushless 🔧But with speedruns, not that important unless you're doing 10 passes 👀

@@coygtrc Definitely mate!! Cant be any worse than sniffing Barbara's beaver!! 😂 😅 🤣 👍

It was the motor to have, for sure 😉 I remember it was quite nippy in the 959 and Celica that I restored almost 2 years ago, maybe too much because of the fragility of this chassis 😮🤝

@@coygtrc Definitely mate..... It was a great match for that small light chassis back in the day. But like you say, those cars were so fragile. My first 959 back in 89 was broken more than it was running! I also restored a Celica and 959 to as new condition a few years back with new old stock parts, after all these years the ABS is as fragile as glass! The projects nearly bankrupt me, but they are pride of joy in the shelf collection now! The runner 959 I built recently gets run regularly, and in all fairness is pretty reliable since upgrading to aluminium arms and hubs. We have a few videos up of the fully restored ones at Green Hawks RC if interested. They are true icons despite all their issues! 👍 👍 👍

I'm with you. The GT Tuned was bland on the rpm bench, but performed better than expected. As for TZ, I was disappointed by the rpm, so much that I dug out the BZ and RPM were the same ( this almost eliminate a so-so ) motor 🤝

Adding that I will probably add bearings in them. I was not impressed by them (1 in Super Astute, 1 in Egress) but let's not forget these are 23 turn... not 14x2-17x2 like we used for example in late 80's 🤪

@@coygtrc Bearings definitely help the overall efficiency and temp..... and I gained 1mph speed on average by fitting them. The RZ is the best of the three, slightly quicker than the BZ and TZ. Like you, I found the BZ and TZ equal. And yeah, I miss the sheer choice and variation of the eighties brushed motors for sure! 👍 👍 👍

Not rolling was kind of mandatory on Tarmac if I did not want to cry. I built my fair share of cars, and I found this one relatively difficult probably due to the size. I'm not into into super Monster Truck, but felt that a collection was empty without it. I do not regret (except for the space it takes) 😁🤝

@@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC Thanks 👍🤝

Thanks. Not easy as we know the time only in the video editing software. I will try the TA08 with a different way to measure (phone app ?). I think it was 7.17 with the Fantom, so with time measurement variation, it's a tie. But as someone wrote, for a fair comparison with Mark, we both do not use a rally tuned chassis (while there was no specific rules on that). More importantly, there is no prize 😁

@@coygtrc Still an an awesome achievement either way fella! 👍 👍 👍

Thanks Mark. It's crazy to think that there was an 11 turn from Tamiya where now the lowest turn available is 23 turn (with bronze bushings...) 🤪 🤝

@@coygtrc Yes, absolutely crazy! 😅😅👍👍

Thanks 🤝

Thanks. Hopefully, it will sound even better next time 😉

Yep, it's coming along nicely. The poor gearbox of the DT02 (screwing, unscrewing) 😥🤝

Thanks 🤝 Can we break 40 next time ? Who knows 😉

@@coygtrc i need to get out there and try again. The work bench has been cleared ready for some 'tweaking'.

The Acto TRF is absolutely superb. The "Super Modified" is just an 11 turn armature inside a "common" can. At least, it's 50% faster than the Sport Tuned. But yeah I was a bit underwhelmed. Next, still Tamiya, vintage, iconic last pair (and one is faster than the 11t, but is not a Transpeed). And after that, this will be a Team Orion 😉 Stay tuned 🤝

@@coygtrc Very cool, when those were all around, I was very heavy into Trinity (Epic) motors. Now that I'm getting old (almost 60), I check websites almost everyday for vintage motors. The Acto TRF is at the top of the list but looking for new in box. I been also looking for a Transpeed MS brushless motor..

Thanks Joe 🤝

Thanks 🤝They still run ok 😊 Won't be up the chart, but that's for later 😉

That's the issue with a lot of old Tamiya Motor, quite strange (or not common) end bell. So parts are scarce and expensive. But, it's a fraction for "scientific" research and the rest for fun. Next video, the caliber is bigger, bye bye 25 😁🤝

Yeah not bad for this antique motor 😁 Not easy to reach 40 with Tamiya motors 😥 As they are "old" and a lot are not sporting the common end bell, very difficult to freshen them up 😵 Thanks 🤝

Not as vintage, but for sure faster this time 😉

I did too

It's an old motor. Maybe with fresher brushes and a fresh cut commutator... Also, I wonder if my test strip is too short and that's why a lot are topping at 25 🤔

Thanks 🤝 Yes, not bad, considering the dying NiCd battery 😵

Thanks 🤝Soon, it will have to look "fast" 😁 Will you take part ?

@coygtrc I did dust off my holiday buggy. Hopefully, I can get a run-in. Where did you get that motor analyzer?

@@JoevsRc Nice 👍 Got the dyno on Ebay but not common. Not the best as there's no torque value, but here, we want to be the fastest, not the most efficient around a track 😁

Yup, TA chassis are very nice; and the 58157 is very hard to find 🧐 My favorite (look wise) is the TA04 TRF with the SSG chassis (49278) 🤩 And of course the TA05 of the 30th anniv. Porsche, but that's another story 👀 Thanks for watching 🤝

@@coygtrc Agree... But lets not forget the TB series like the TB-EVO.3 SURIKARN LTD #49283, that was in the rare Tamiya Red alloy parts. I seen it, I wanted it, I could not afford it...

Ah yes, the TB Evo 3 Surikarn. Got one "cheap" (~200 USD without the red radiator) 🎅

@@coygtrc That is cheap but** never seen one with a "radiator" . Fixed from "bot" to "but"... LOL

I mean red "heat sink", sorry.

Thanks 🤝

Thanks 🤝 Ford Escort are very nice (especially with the big rear wing) 👌

The bumps and pebbles have haunted me since the 2023 TT02 Poor Boys RC Speed Challenge 😫

@@coygtrc Ioh I have had my fair share of spin outs crashes ect I feel for you.

We have to take into account that they are fully rebuildable, contrary to the Sport Tuned. Next run, most recognizable Tamiya Motor. We'll have to wait for the crazy motors 😁🤝

@@coygtrc Agree and was going to mention the fact that the brushes can be replaced and the motor is "serviceable" opposed to a "sealed" can motor... I am getting ready to add ball bearings into my BZ motor to see if I get any more performance over the bronze bushings, rumor has it you can get from 300 rpm to 800 rpm more (I need to double check this).

I will probably add BB, too, in BZ and TZ. With the right tool, it's "easy". I'm a bit lazy these days and too many motors to prepare 😢

@@coygtrc I hear ya Gabe, can I call you Gabe or do you prefer Gabriel? A hair dryer to warm up the can at the output shaft end and they almost fall out, as for putting them in, (heat also) a wooden dowel 8.25mm really helps seat them back in, could use a brass or alloy punch too, the endbell is super easy..

Gabe's fine 😁I used a Muchmore bearing removal tool (not Tamiya motor, but similar 23t type), without a sweat 😉

Thanks 🤝 Well, while more expensive, the Superstock ?Z are rebuildable (easier to clean, can change brushes and true the commutator). Also, they may be more suited for dirt track, than speedrun. I wonder what the RZ would do, but I don't have one. Next vid will be very vintage... with the most iconic Tamiya Motor... ever 😁🤝

Thanks 🤝 Yeah result was unexpected (but on par with RPM). And the tested Sport Tuned was a vintage one, far from new. Next run, most iconic Tamiya motor (and one of his "brother") 😁🤝

Thanks 👍 The more the merrier 😁🤝

Thanks 🤝 Hopefully it will be very good🤞🤝

Sure, performance is not important on this kind of machine. Still, handling is not that bad, considering I did not setup the radio (100% steering without expo, not ideal on 4WS) 🤝

Would be better on a beach in the Vancouver area 😆 But it's like several thousand km or miles from here 😥 👍🤝

@@coygtrc just a quick road trip and a little swim away! 😂👊🏼
