Yes! I definitely recommend having a screws tub/tray. I’ve just searched those trays, what a great idea especially with some bags having more than one screw length in them! Thanks for the feedback and for taking some time out to watch! It’s really appreciated!

​@@RC.89I'll be doing an unboxing/build of the MS1.0 hopefully later this week. Really excited to see what looks like the next step in TC Design.

I will definitely be tuning in to see that! First thing that springs to mind is the new shock installation!

​@@RC.89Yeah, it's been on the BD12, just seems to give infinite shock position options and get stuff a little big lower. Very interested to see how the new top arm and c-hub- less setup changes things. I *think* it's so we can play about with KPI (king pin inclination) but I stand to be corrected!

Thank you! Cheers! I’ve got a BD11 build on the way so I’m hoping for a new shell to go with that!

Yeah I’m hoping to get a little more uumph out of the motor. For sure il have to do an update on how that is. I think the usual method is a low voltage through the motor but all I’ve done is just run the motor just by increasing trim in soapy water. Once completely dry used brake cleaner and then Oiled the bearings. The Mardave channel has done a video on a water bath so that may be worth checking out too! Now I’m sure that’s not the ideal way but it’s all a learning curve!

@@RC.89 I have heard from racers to "run in" motor in reverse also, I wonder if that makes a difference? (I race a carbon Mardve Mini at Barley Mow in Durham, I am new so my experience is limited) EDIT: I wonder if you might benifit from a 16T pinion? IS your motor too hot to touch after a race?

I’ve not heard of that one yet. Hopefully someone could shed some light on that!?

@@andiwhitworth I understand it wears the brushes to the com in such a way that gives you a tiny bit of timing advance. Like have you ever tried an old tired motor in an rc car in reverse and it was faster? - this is due to that I understand.

I think I might have to look into this a bit further!

I just couldn’t pass on that price! Are there any things I should take note with when it comes to the build. I have seen a few mention the outdrives might need upgrading?

@@RC.89 the outdrives are the big thing. Steel ones are ok, but they don't take brushes with a wall very well. Alloy ones are much more forgiving. The BD12 front C Hubs fit straight on, are stronger and have the mounts for the carbon body support. I'm using the front bulkhead brace and the RC Maker flex bushing thing. Heavier rear spring helps a lot. The cars been really competitive and I'm the one holding it back! I'm sure the BD12 is another step, but I'm past the stage that a small technical advantage will make the difference.

@@RC.89 as for the build, just enjoy it. It was my first Yokomo kit and couldn't believe how nice it was to screw together A cupcake tray is a good idea for screws, as they're packed together, rather than for steps like AE/Losi/Tamiya etc. Material, fit & finish is unreal!

@Gingapaint yeah I was suprised a bit when I opened the box to find all my screws in one bag but il definitely get myself a tray or container!

That’s good to know that the 12 C-Hubs go straight on it. I’ve been looking at spring options. Do you run the progressive springs or have you moved to a standard spring?

There’s a video on the way soon!

There’s been some crazy paint schemes in the NFS games!

Thank you so much!

Thank you for being so welcoming, i really enjoyed myself. Everyone was brilliant!

Thank you!

Thank you so much for your kind words! i really do appreciate you taking time out of your day to have a watch! Im sure i will see you at Blackpool soon!

After seeing you guys have such close racing in the mini class i may have been out and made a purchase! 😄

@@RC.89 brilliant mate.... Any help you think I can be just ask and if I can't help I'm sure I'll know someone who can 👍👍👍

@pennineraceway1172 that’s amazing thank you so much!

Thank you i really appreciate the kindness! Ive seen that style on the bigger scale models, they look incredible. So much room to play with!

@@RC.89 yep need to get my painting skills going again 😅
