I eat my words. Tamiya had provided a center gear diff option for the XV-02

I used pictures by rcscrapyard.com and tamiyausa.com found on google images
I forgot to mention that I think this will require a low profile servo for steering - Auta a dopravní prostředky

A quick explanation of what caster does:
When a car goes over a bump, the wheels move up and down, obviously; when the car is going straight, you want the wheels to stay vertical as they go over the bump for maximum traction. But when you steer a moving car, it leans to the outside of the corner, and if the suspension keeps the wheels aligned with the chassis, that means the wheels will _also_ lean to the outside of the corner, reducing traction. Caster forces the front wheels to be tilted towards the inside of the corner when steering, which counteracts the outside-tilting effect caused by the chassis leaning.
For those who dont want to watch the video, this kind gentlemen repeats what I said
yes! cant wait to have one!
Interesting vid Rcfam 👊🏾😎
good insight on the upcoming release!!! We can't wait either. :)
I have to admit looking at the new releases this is the only one that excites me at all.
Oh ❗ Exciting, 😃✨ Everyone is looking forward to it. 👍👍👍
Very nice explanatory video which helped me make up my mind about the XV-02-chassis and basically any r/c car chassis.
Cool, thanks glad you liked it, I appreciate the feedback
3:48 Love that body. We drive a Evo Lancer X as a family car :-P not the most practical, but boy... a lot of fun!
Very cool one my friend, looking forward to see it
Good video I hope you'll join us on the panel this Thursday.
Very well said Rex, spoken like a guy with oil pan hands. I think I know a guy who will be getting one of those!!!!
Wow....very great info you had share brother...now i know my front rear of my RC truk home made what is going to look like..acording to this video i will put my servo in front left position and the join is on the right...great share bro.....owesome....👌👍👍👍👍👍🤝👏👏👏👏👏
This was a great video. Love the technical aspect you view the new release from. The cut scenes and diagrams were awesome. I hope your channel grows bigger than all the others.
Thanks for the details! I will start saving now. I feel like the Rally fleet needs it :)
This is a very intresting release. Gonna have to see if i can fit one into my budget, just ordered that re-re-re black avante. Lovely evo 7 you got there!
2:45 appreciate you try to explain this; Watching a video from Edd China on the Rally Mini they did provides a very detailed view on this. Self-righting of the wheels is one of the main points.
That's a very good analysis. It's a pity that the dustproof structure has disappeared, but I think it's worth looking forward to.
Thanks for the look into the car. I don't know much about the rally cars but I have been looking at a few and always enjoy learning new stuff. Cool info and thanks for sharing them brain powers! I need all of that I can get :)
Great take
Great video Rex, very informative.
I am going to be all over this. Probably going to drop a Evo body shell on this one. I think it will be a unique handling chassis but whether it will feel as good as the XV-01 remains to be seen. Great video Rex
Which evo
Looks good and be interesting to see how these perform. I must say that I really enjoy the XV-01 handling with the weight up the front. I'm not into racing so the enjoyment is more important than quick lap times for me. Many thanks for an informative video 🙂
Thank you Pete 👊
I feel like I have learned something today, so well done! Should be a good chassis, looking forward to seeing one for real👍
Very interesting release, but i hope they dont discontinue xv-01, thats a chassie i really want to try.
Do it. It will blow your mind how well it does rally things.
A very interesting video, Rex! I like your thinking and I totally agree with your conclusions. With more weight focused in the centre, it should be more neutral handling, with the option to alter this with the front/rear gearing bias. It's going to be a blast to experiment with!
wow wow wow!!!!!
Wonderful analytic skills you have, it shows you have an understanding and interest of car physics, but i seem to remember you told me that you raced once, so that doesn't surprise me.
I think the chassis is very neutrally ballanced, very well designed, but one of my pet peeves with Tamiya are their grease filled differentials. I really hope they decided to equip this chassis with sealed differentials.
At least it's not another TT-01 .... Someone put a Kamtec Bowler Wildcat body on it and rip the track apart!!
Subbed Great Content Rex. :-))
🤘❤️👊
Would love to see Tamiya make a short course truck
Interesting, I wonder what mashup of parts they’d use, or a newly designed ground up model would be amazing to see
Nice
🔵🔵🔵👍👍👍😀😀😀🔵🔵🔵
i have mine on preorder, when th estates will get some, who knows
First I like to thank you for the presentation and analysis Rex.
I wasn't a fan of the XV-01 because of this exposed postition of the motor. I don't mind about driving performance. It's just my opininon that in the motor shouldn't been the first thing that takes an impact direct after the foam-bumper.
So now I am interested in this new chassis. On the plus side I see:
The motor is better protected inside the chassis. The kit has a complete set of ball bearings.
My hopes:
I hope that the battery door is still at the bottom of the car, for a change without taking the body off. A good soulution for changing the differentials without disassembling half of the car. Complete body-kits with all additinal parts and stickers. Searching everything separate is a nightmare in my dealer's online shop. Oh yes, cone diffs insead off ballers would be nice, too.
I don't like they put hex-screws in it. I'm ruining them so often.
I'll get a VX-02 for sure, but probably won't be the first.
What i dont like is the standup battery and servo, raising the cog. Tamiya has a habbit of mounting standup servos not solid enough, making them move left and right which is verry bad. From the picture i can not see if its solid, provides easy access to evrything and drives well. Also if we have a slipper clutch or diff or oneway option in the middle will change a lot. Super avante looks great, but slipping diffs, moving servo, virtually unchangeable motor and over 12 screws to access the rear drivetrain are not really competition-ready.
Thank you for this very informative video. Any price yet on these? Time to save my lunch money..................
I like the new design never liked the motor hanging out over the front concept it makes for a tail happy car...also the shaft drive it nice I never liked belts much more maintenance and adjustments needed all the time. I think the new XV-02 will be way better and drive faster through turns.
Nice! Any word on price? Should be a good ripper. I hope Traxxas brings the rally back out but with some updates to compete with better handling cars. I think your spot on with all the technical stuff but as I'm sure you have learned(like me) things that should and do apply to 1:1 cars don't always work. For the intended use tho it should be a lot of fun tail out racing with the rear diff over driven
Most probably this will be in the 350-400$ range
Yikes… i hear $320 pounds…
XV02 is a dissapointment, its just a more trick reverse TT02B. Think about it if a TT02B has rear steering and drives backwards its what XV02 is. The best thing about XV01 is the unique front engined handling of it, just like a real car. The reedeming feature about the 02 is the trick center differential and most likely comes with full ball bearings. 😂
As someone who has built both in the last few months I can agree.
loved this little vlog and myself have just purchased the martini livery XV01 lancia delta integrale and am happy to see that i can put tall shocks on the rear bacause of the space available any good ideas for better front ??
Hi Andrew! Thank you for reaching out, I appreciate your feedback thank you very much, im so happy you were able to enjoy my video 🙏. Im not sure what is the best option for suspension, however I am using the Tamiya CVA suspenion for TL-01, and Ive left out the travel limiter they tell you to use inside the shock, I have found this setup has A LOT of travel 😁
Hello :) nice movie.
Thank YOU FOR THE INTRO!
@@rexrcs here you go ;)
Did you get permission to use this video just saying I think it's cool though I wish we had the tracks like this.
959 chassis ?
The centre gearbox looks like the same as used in TC-01
Thank you for pointing that out, I am not yet familiar with the TC-01 at this current time, They interest me a lot but Im holding out for a different livery, do you have one? Where do you use it
Eh...it looks like a competent chassis, but it doesn't have that signature Tamiya quirkiness I've come to expect, with the sole exception of the overdrive/underdrive diff gears. Anyone can take a normal touring-car chassis and lift the suspension to make a rally car; I know this for a fact because I've done it myself about ten times. My favorite rally conversion of all time is the HPI Nitro RS4 3 Evo+, not least because it makes cool engine noises. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the XV-01 though, because it's so wildly reconfigurable, and QUIET. The belt drive is damn near silent, perfect for when I want to drive outside on the down-low without attracting every kid in the neighborhood. The XV-02 just looks...bland, honestly.
Hi Shawn! Thanks for stopping in to have a chat, this is far from a touring chassis lifted, but I’ll let you find that out on your own my friend. I think those who arent excited about it will change their tones once they see it running. The XV-01 was for pure feel and being different, it has no competition because its not a performance based chassis, I truly believe the XV-02 is focused around balance and handling, of course this is only going off my knowledge of vehicle dynamics, we’ll find out soon i hope 🙏
Bring back TGX Tamiya!!!! My 1/8 Subaru needs parts and its better then XV02 period!
