    If you need to install it on a original vintage Monster Beetle or Blackfoot you have to use this parts also:
    Tamiya Item 53908 - Assembly Universal Shafts
    And for a Frog or Subaru Brat additional the following parts:
    Tamiya Item 9335026 - Gear Bag

    Mich freut es immer wieder die sehr gut gemachten Videos von Dir zu sehen . Da steckt viel Arbeit drin .Super gemacht !
    Auch ich hatte mal in den 90ern einen Monster Beetle und dann mit dem Hobby eine Zeit aufgehört und alles verkauft. Ein großer Fehler aber so war es damals.
    Jetzt baue und fahre ich wieder leidentschaftlich gerne und werde mir bald einen Beetle zulegen .
    Tamiya forever !
    Vielen Dank Matteo !

      Vielen Dank für dein nettes Feedback! Ich finde toll das Tamiya durch die Re-releases die alten Klassiker wider neu auflegt, so können wir die guten alten Zeiten wenigsten wider ein wenig aufleben lassen! 😊😊👍

    Just wonderful! I am so happy to see how well that diff is working for everyone! I see now what you mean about how we both ruined bodies with this new diff...I ordered a lexan BF body as well as a lexan MB version.

    • @Matteomeier
      @Matteomeier  Před 7 lety

      Thanks Alberto! It is a big part from your side, to get this! Which lexan MB shell you use?

    • @AMPROEngineering
      @AMPROEngineering Před 7 lety

      Well thank you! It was a 6 year long project! I use the bodies from TeamBlueGrove. They are very well made. I have a lot of their shells on my cars. Here is the link to the MB version. Maybe a larger order can offset shipping cost to you? www.ebay.com/itm/TBG-BODY-FOR-TAMIYA-BLITZER-BEETLE-clear-lexan-bug-body-/151024611734?hash=item2329c4b196:g:MsAAAMXQlUNRWZTz

    Nothing more fun than a Tamiya with more power than it was ever designed for ! Seemed to handle it pretty well and the ball diff looks like a well engineered bit of kit. I've got a Kamtec lexan beetle shell for my Sand Scorcher as a basher and it's quite tough. Made me wince to hear the sound of your MB rolling over with the lovely hard body shell. Anyway great vid Matteo :-)

    • @Matteomeier

  • @christopherdeguzman1137
    @christopherdeguzman1137 Před 7 lety +1

    Thanks for sharing Matteo. Yes, honestly, I think brushless motors are to much for many Tamiya rerelease cars and trucks. To me, it takes the fun out of the vehicle. Honestly, I never had any problem with my blackfoot tranny back in the days. I installed a Revtech super stock motor back in the days and my blackfoot ran flawlessly. I guess I had some luck with my blackfoot. After seeing so many of your videos I'm thinking of buying another blackfoot. But since I had one back in 90' I'm thinking of getting a Monster beetle since I never had the chance to own one back in the day. Thanks Matteo for your hardwork. You never seem to disappoint! Mahalo from Hawaii!!!

    • @Matteomeier
      @Matteomeier  Před 7 lety

      Thanks Christopher! Absolutely agree with your words! In all my classic Tamiyas I use the stock motors and it's fun enough! This one I only changed to test the MIP gears.
      The best way for you is to get a Blackfoot and a Monster Beetle! 👍😊

    • @ventisette.
      @ventisette. Před rokem

      17.5 is just about right for more of them, big boost in torque without making them too fast. And that extra torque is why you need upgraded gears, even a 17.5 will have more than hot motors from back in the day.

  • @Dailycubing437

  • @JimBoBJames-no5db
    @JimBoBJames-no5db Před 8 měsíci +2

    You are right on there. It's not always necessary to have ultra high performance motors. A lot of fun can be had with a mild motor. I give you an example. I put a 15 turn motor into a Tamiya Hornet. It was too much. The poor little Hornet went from looking beautiful and shiny to looking old and scuffed up because the car couldn't handle that motor. The Hornet kept rolling over and landing on its roof , then I returned the original Tamiya silver can motor and it was beautiful , drove so much better. The Hornet would roll over if I turned the steering suddenly. Conversely I put the same motor in a new Fox ( Nova Fox ) and that Fox handles so much better than the Hornet. But yes you are 110% correct. These are 30-40 year old designs from Tamiya. And they were not meant to have extra high performance. More for fun . These days we can buy ready to run cars straight out of the box and they travel very fast but to me they lack soul. They are not like a Tamiya kit that we can invest time into . I love Tamiya. Ever since I was 13-14 years old and I'm now 50 . Keep the great work coming Matteo I'm subscribed 👌👍💪

    Fantastic video Matteo! I bought 2, one for my Beetle and one for my Blackfoot. The plan is to run 17.5 brushless setups which I think is the sweet spot.

    • @Matteomeier
      @Matteomeier  Před 7 lety +1

  • @Pablo668
    @Pablo668 Před 7 lety

    Nice. I like your work Matteo.
    The rear wishbone set up by Ampro Engineering does make the car much more stable in turns.
    I have mounted my steering servo in the centre and put TRF shocks on my beetle. It handles much better.
    I haven't installed my MIP diff yet though.

    • @Matteomeier
      @Matteomeier  Před 7 lety

      Thanks! Of course these are good options!

  • @Sabrason
    @Sabrason Před 3 lety +1

    Great video!! I agree, the MIP ball diff is an excellent upgrade for any MB or BF but brushless motors are too powerful for this chassis/gearbox. I'm currently performing a light restoration of an original MB and going to run the MIP ball diff with a vintage Technigold brushed motor.

    • @Matteomeier
      @Matteomeier  Před 3 lety +2

      Yes, your right. A mild tuned brushed motor suits better in these old chassis. 👍😊

    Thanks for this video too Mateo, I'm new here and I'm starting to see all your videos, best so far, you put a lot of effort and is nice, running videos are amazing and when you explain something too (my G500 body is looking great with this PS 5, I learned to paint this lexan with your G500 video).... I'm trying to get now a Subaru Brat blue version or black monster beetle and still I can't figure witch one I will have more fun on sand. Love the lexan body... but monster buggy doesn't have and the Brat seems to low for sand. I love it the painting part. Thanks!

    • @Matteomeier

      Matteo's RC Movies I raced a Frog back in the days and can't remember (30 years ago 😊) I had many problems with the diff. I used modified motors, but those were brushed... Didn't jump it from too high to... I do remember I used the CRP rear skid plate to protect the gearbox (Ampro makes them to now). Nevertheless this diff looks awesome. Can you adjust the stiffnes? I saw you tighten the screw pretty tight.

    • @Matteomeier

      Yes, you can adjust it by tighten the screw, and yes I like it hard.

    Hey Man...
    Well done...I just finished putting together my 2016 Blackfoot, with full ball bearings, and a SPORT TUNED motor. Only about ten battery packs in, I already have the nerve tingling crunching sound that all BLACKFOOT/MONSTER BEETLE owners hear.
    It is the same sound I heard from my 1986 edition...I would have guessed they would have upgraded the differential for the re-release, but no...so I just ordered my ball-diff. Time for me to do the same thing you just did.

    • @Matteomeier

      *****
      No problem...you made a great video! Yes, I am very happy with the ball-diff...I am surprised Tamiya didn't upgrade that part of the transmission being it was a KNOWN weak-point. I thought that they might have increased the temper of the splines or something, but when I heard the "crunch", I became quite disgusted!

    Great installment and test. Have mine waiting to be installed. That was a seriously fast MB. I 'like' how both you and Alberto crushed your bodies on your individual diff test runs. New weak spot ;-) But too bad about your body. That was a serious amount of work and paint job destroyed. But a very good video. I believe in the diff now :-)

    • @Matteomeier

    Wieder ein ganz toll gemachtes (Bauprozess) und spannendes (Fahrtest) Video, Danke Matteo!
    Die Power die der Beetle mit diesem Setup hat ist wirklich schwer beeindruckend ... tut mir nur leid um Deine Karosserie. Und ich teile Deine Meinung - es ist zuviel für so einen schönen Oldie und vor allem nicht notwendig. Aufhängung, Federung und alle anderen Bauteile sind dafür einfach nicht geschaffen. Für das Seriensetup oder sanftes Tuning ist das Upgrade aber unter dem Aspekt der Haltbarkeit sicherlich top.

    Tamiya kits are great to build, the bodies are nice and detailed. But that's about it, just put it on a shelf an enjoy the view.
    And in time they will fetch good money too at least the '80 releases did. My litle Latrax Teton BL with ball diffs will run circles around the MB all day on 2s even (3s is scary tho) Still nice to see you enjoy it nice vid, thumbs up

    Brilliant and informative video, thanks so much, could I ask a couple of questions as I’ve just bought the MIP as I broke the standard gearbox in the first couple of days!
    What are the exact specification tools that I need?
    Your brushless motor seems very powerful, is there an upgrade from the standard motor that is not quite as powerful.
    Which servo are you using as the ones mine came with seem pretty weak?
    Many thanks!

    • @Matteomeier
      @Matteomeier  Před 4 lety

      I recommend to use a bit better standard motor like the torque tuned motor from Tamiya. The servo I normally use in this cars is a Futaba S9001.
      You need a set of hex drivers and Philips drivers, of course a pliers.

    Just as any other Tamiya, if it goes brushless, it has to be adult driven. Its no Traxxas!

      @@Matteomeier My (freshly bought) Torque Tuned Tamiya Motor died after one summer of intense driving (10-15 hours total). I used a DIY 2s4p Li-Ion battery most of the time (running time: 40min). The last run in the grass and the fallen leaves must have been too much heat for the motor....There was also quite steep inclination...All 3 factors together were too much heat strain, I guess (though it was quite cold outside => 9 degrees centigrate). Imagine that scenario with the higher rpm 540 Standard motor and during the summertime !!! So I upgraded to brushless now.

    GIANT Thumbs UP for this, WOW. I did cringe as the license plate flew off, but it didn't affect you at all, what a pro. I think the body you have is now a trophy for such a great first run with the Super Ball diff. I think Parma made the lexan body for the MB, but no decals of course and perhaps Kamtech made a good one that fits in lexan too over on that side of the pond. I have to rework my classic MB with this to enjoy it more. WHEELIE bar and perhaps a Wild WHEELIE Willy driver figure too. :D

    When you assemble a ball diff, you should rotate the diff at the same time you tighten the main screw, so the ball bearings won't make small dents in the washers. After assembly, you should loosen the main screw slightly, so the diff can rotate without binding.

    Go for a 3000kv 3652 Motor at 2s Lipo in the Monster Beetle (with the MIP Diff). 40min runtime with 5Ah battery. 38km/h Top speed. Motor is NOT hot after 90min running time (2 battery packs) ! MUCH more fun than stock brushed motor :) Robitronic Razer 3000kv combo costs only 50 bucks and fits PERFECTLY. I never had such a WIDE TAMIYA GRIN on my face as today with the BL combo :)

  • @Smaug1
    @Smaug1 Před 4 lety +1

    Well-done and with useful comments. One suggestion: replace the Molex/Tamiya battery connector with something less lossy. Those connectors are OK at the beginning, but with very few cycles, the contacts loosen up, which leads to a high impedance connection. You will know this is happening when you disconnect the battery and feel that the connectors are warm or hot.
    I have switched my whole fleet over to EC5, as they can handle a lot of current. In hindsight, EC3 or XT60 would have been more appropriate and easier to plug/unplug. As an electrical engineer, the idea of losing power and creating heat in a connection is unacceptable to me. Even with the stock Mabuchi 540 motor, I don't like to throw power away.
    By the way, I wonder what is a "mild brushless" motor replacement for the Mabuchi 540? Something that gives maybe 25% more speed, but also with higher efficiency. Maybe the overall length would be shorter, or maybe they would just waste some space inside the can to make it the same overall length?

    • @Matteomeier
      @Matteomeier  Před 4 lety

      Thanks for your good feedback! Yes, it's correct, Tamiya connectors are very bad and not state of the art today. But I have so much old cars with them, on my newer cars with lipo power I use XT60 connectors. 👍

    That diff should work in a Frog or Subaru too, same gearbox I'm sure. I wonder what it would have been like if brushless motors and Lipo's were around 25 years ago? I'm getting back into the hobby it's changed greatly since I bought my first Frog in 1990.

    • @Matteomeier
      @Matteomeier  Před 7 lety +1

      Yes, the gearbox in Frog and Brat are nearly the same. But because of the bigger tires the Blackfoot and Monster Beetle have different gear ratios. It means the pinion and spur gear is not the same, and this requires additional parts to install the MIP diff.
      Sometimes I long back for the good old times... Only silver cans and Technigolds and 5 min run time....
