Hi Ari, there are so many great RC channels out there, but IMO you always find the right mixture between building, running, tips and just having fun with RC's. Many greetings to you and your crew ✌️😃

Thank you. That’s a really nice compliment. I appreciate it. I really try hard to keep my videos quick and to the point and to do a little bit of everything. Or to switch it up week to week. FYI, your little Icon of Orco… awesome! Lol.

I like how there was a guy trying to muscle you but you clearly out maneuvered him

Thanks for the surprise cameo! I was in the big guy in the yellow shirt with the orange AMG in the first race. LOL. It was nice to race with you.

Hi. Awesome Mercedes body 👌 (was driven by no less than Michael Schumacher in 1991 DTM season). And thanks for the without / with upgrades comparison 👍

Looks great 👍

Great video 👍nice to see some upgrades for the tt01. Unfortunately it's not easy to show how big difference it is between friction shocks and oil dampers. It's really night and day.

Awesome job Ari. Great video and both bodies came out awesome.

thanks. This was a fun project to work on.. The Lambo was gifted to me by Staten Island Roc. I finally found some good use for it.

Awesome video! I essentially like that Spaceballs Camino in the beginning

Sweet, simple build Ari, that Lambo shell really suits it. 1060 esc's every time,those Tamiya ones have a habit of packing it in too quickly.

Damn Tamiya ESC's ... crap lol I got that LAMBO shell gifted to me from a friend. Glad I was able to use it on something. It was just sitting there in my work area of almost a year.

Great video(newsubscriber),i was debating on weather to get the green and gold merc,after watching this im definitely going to buy it. Tamico do a cool light kit as well.

I’ve been the ‘SERIOUSLY’ guy yelling at Marshall’s. Hopefully his day improved

He's a nice guy... I can see getting frustrated when someone T-bones you and you flip or spin out. It messes with your flow...

The real and essential upgrades are high torque seevo saver , ABSOLUTELY adjustable turnbuckle and alu steering linkage, alu propeller, oil shocks , adjustable rear and front upper arms and ball bearing. Every single of these upgrades improve the performance.

Great car and very useful upgrades. These shocks are awesome with so many possibilities. I use these, too. You should test some more and step into the Poor Boys RC speedchallenge😉

I've seen the video's for that. Thats a really cool thing he is doing to bring the RC community together. I thought I was a lil late to that party... hasn't that been going on for a while?

Nice job ari. Awesome video

I put in tamiya adjustable upper control arms and rear 3 degree toe in uprights. Which helps keeping me straight under acceleration and camber helps with he turning. I also put in adjustable turn arms so I could run a little toe out up front too. hope that helps.

Sweet love your videos

Fender Bender is such a funny name

Yes, I was trying to think of a goofy name.. I mean its true... we do crash a lot lol...

Hey do you by chance have a parts list? I have the same car and I’m trying to get it setup nicely. Thanks!

don't understand why the tire inserts don't come with the tires, prefer the higher profile slicks, that body custom touches, look great custom work

Pity you didn’t run the Mercedes body for a true comparison of the times, not everyone has a sleek spare body to use .

Hi, nice racing! What timing system are you using in this vid?

So we use the lap transponders from lapmonitor.com/store/en/ with their app. When we do the large scale races we use those transponders with liveRC.com. However, for next spring I believe we are upgrading to a way more expensive system. The name escapes me at the moment. One of the guys "Tom" is in charge of that department... I just go with the flow with whatever we all agree upon to use.

Where's pt. 2?

To be honest the TT01E is a better chassis than the TT02, seems more sturdy. I used to run one with the Buggyra Fat Fox truck bodyshell and it was so much fun to race, I did upgrade it with bearings, CVA dampers and a few other bits. Great video!!

Upgraded everything except the transmitter.

I did. I went from a Radiolink to a Spektrum. Am I misunderstanding your comment?

@@RCRetroSorry yes, it's a joke. I can't stand my Spektrum radio compared to my Radiolink. Love the channel and was another great build.

can you upgrade the motor to a Super Stock 23T?

@RCRetro

I'm sure you can but for our race class "Stock" its silver can or torque tuned motor only.

Why do you prefer the 01 vs the 02??

I don't like the steering on the TT02. Even with the upgraded aluminum steering and aluminum steering bridge there is a lot of slop. I added shims which improved it but overall I just like the feel of my TT01 more. Thats just me though...

Like the color of the Gallardo.

I rather use the radiolink it's got better range and you can hold more cars in them.

For that radiolink I can only have 10 cars on there. My new remote has memory settings for up to 100 cars? Maybe one of the other radiolinks? Also I was having glitching issues with the radiolink. When racing my car would veer off or speed up without my pulling the trigger. It also felt loose out there with the steering. I originally went from a flysky to a radiolink which I thought was just an ok upgrade.. but going to this spektrum was a game changer....

Why you like it better than a tt02?
