i guess the good thing about RC models is you can get the weathering details done simply by taking it for a spin.

Looks great! "I'll be careful with it because I built it" lasts for a while, but eventually wears off. Then you fall into a viscous cycle of break, upgrade, break, upgrade, and before you know it, your basic Tamiya kit is sailing 5 meters in the air at 80KPH, and still going like a champ!

Well that’s something. Here’s a tip for YOU David. Try misting some water on the body before you apply the stickers. It will allow you to float them into place exactly like a water slide decal. Just put them where you want and rub the water away. All good 👍🏼

Oh yeah we are in for a treat!

😊 this brings back memories from 20 years ago when i built one with my dad. It was 1/10 scale but i do remember the one we made did have fluid-filled suspension. Besides that, the build looks very similar. Pretty sure it was Tamiya. We ended up with a few and used to race them around car parks when the shops had closed.

Two of my favorite things in one video: Plasmo and the rally WRX!

Years--well, decades-- ago I had a Tamiya Grasshopper, after that an Associated RC-10. So much fun, and I learned a lot about basic mechanics.

Oh man. This video was fun, fun, fun! Can’t wait for more!

Heh.. bought this one pre-built back in 2000 i think it was.. still sits on a shelf after quite a bit of abuse.. Took the driveshaft out for RWD, which was more fun. Proper fun little tool. Great seeing it being built and in action, thanks for sharing!

Still my dream car.

From experience with a Tamiya Toyota Celica RC car years ago, what you want is a fairly smooth tarmac surface. Most definitely in mid winter and definitely with a thick layer of frost. Add working headlights for fun on a very cold winter evening. The power slides are amazing. 😊❤😊

Sauber und ordentlich aus der Kiste heraus. Danke 👍

This is REALLY cool

This model kit weathers itself.

Tak, a příště letadlo

A good looking models and these are so well engineered. I used a Tamiya 4WD model to make a 1:16 scale RC DUKW many years ago. If you are going to use it regularly keep checking the well known on-line auction sites and you can pick up broken models as a good cheap source of spares.

I have a number of Tamiya RC models - this video reminded me of building my TT-02B MS (the buggy variant of the kit you assembled here) - so much fun! One of the things I did differently was to use M3 screws, and get both left and right hand thread forming taps to pre-thread the holes before driving the screws in. Between the M3 screws and the thread forming taps, they make it much easier to assemble the kit, and are much more durable than the included Philips head screws that come in the base kit! I'd also highly recommend experimenting with their upgrade parts, especially the main chassis tub. It's cheap and so much stronger than the ABS one in the base kits. Thanks for a fun moment of nostalgia, I'll have to dust mine off now!

Something new! Good model! Man always was a kid, but are toys bigger for now)))

Plasmo best builder out there. I saw his name in the notifications and got excited!!!

Other youTubers create April Fools videos, and Plasmo builds an RC car and spends have the video thrashing it. Brilliant

I've made my first one (Astute 2022) a few months ago. Still haven't driven it, but that was exactly the reason why I never bought one before... I want to build them, don't care too much about driving them. I'll wait for nicer weather, and then I'll give it a spin. Also a tip for the car body: Instead of using scissors, you can score the edges with a sharp knife, and then you can snap the excess parts right of after some bending. Works like a charm.

@@alerossi8564 Yes, and I made it metallic orange in stead of red 😋 Looks very nice with the blue stickers.

I'd love to see you do an RC Truck. That'll be super lovely.

I built a few Team Losi cars back in the day. I still have them and they still run great, but they are mostly display pieces now. I mostly run a highly modified Traxxas Slash now. I always beat the crap out of it.

When in action the differential works pretty well. I love the way you build it with the same care of a static models. Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹 ❤

My first R/C Car was a Tamiya Sand Scorcher. The original back in 1982 or so. What a fun machine. Lots of brass parts that wore out really quickly though. I just finished a TT-02 chassis with a GT3 body. If you can spend a little extra, it's worth it to get the oil filled dampers and aluminum steering parts. Really improves the handling. Maybe not so important in a rally car.

Fantastic, I've been into Tamiya and Kyosho RC since the early 1980's as a boy. I'm very familiar with Tamiya and their engineering of models, once the hobby bites you it becomes irresistible to not continue.

David, I hope you enjoyed that this model puts dirt on it by itself 😊

I remember my father had a magnificent Subaru Impreza, and I used to love hearing it start up haha! Thank you for this superb video, you've brought back some good memories, enjoy this car! Looking forward to seeing your next creation !!!

Awesome job, as always. And it'd be nice to see more car models for a change.

what an epic video! (loved the edit of the car!!!)

Thanks Plasmo. Love your work and nice to see something most people can achieve. Your usual woirk is artistic beyond most imaginations. Built the same kit a few weeks ago. Painted a slightly less dense shade of Tamiya Blue PS16 followed by a thin coat of Tamiya Silver PS41 then another two coats of blue and finally a covering of Tamiya Black PS 5. Use Tamiya TS19 for the rear wing and singlw mirror. Three coats of Tamiya Metallic Gold TS21 on the wheels and few decals. The model pops. Blue is deep and can look varying depths of blue depending on the light. Now beginning the same TT02 model with the Audi Rallye A2 body.

Nice one :) I've been into R/C since 2004 an built several models from Tamiya, now building Tamiya trucks. A tip for the stickers: I always heat them and apply some pressure after sticking them to the body - that way they hold better to the body and won't come off easily. Also round shapes are better followed and the crinkles disappear.

Soapy water works well for stickers but not for clear stickers because you will see the residue underneath.

@Hasi_Racing

Ай бұрын

@@beandean356I never use soapy water for the stickers, I first cut out the sticker I want to apply. Then I just cut out a small bit in the middle of the backpaper (I don't know how it's called) so I can set the sticker without applying it. When I'm happy, I apply the sticker in the middle, then remove the rest of the backpaper. It's the same method Tamiya tells you to do with the window masks and works very well for me.

@@beandean356I had no problems with the soapy method either, I just don't like messing with all that water at my desk :D So it's just a preference, I think both methods work well.

Despite the different topic I enjoyed this video a lot

I just bought this model RC a couple weeks ago. Still getting some upgrading parts for it. Great video!!

the best way to cut any lexan body is to use an X-Acto cutter and just score the cut lines, you can then bend and break the excess lexan off cleanly and in one swoop. I rarely needed to sand after. I built a lot of these TT01's actually owned 6 of them back in 2006, nothing has really changed much since then. That Impreza 22B was one of my favorite bodies, but the Castrol Supra GT was the best... there where severak uterations of the Supra GT, my favorite is now discontinued and very rare that I sold one of my 4 bodies to a friend in U.K. for almost US$200. hehe

Now weather it for display! Inspired now to try something different 😊👍🏼

I saw a rally car in the notification and was excited. Then it was just an RC car! It would be cool to see a rally car done from a famous event, damage and all. Colin McRaes Subaru legacy from Finland, or the Celica from the same event, or maybe toivenens Monte Carlo Lancia?

first rc? nice! you have to build yourself a rock crawler next. The scale details are so good!

What......No minor Improvements....😂

So now you will stick to RC, good choice! Next will be F104 in 1:4 scale!

brings me back to my youth when i had one with a Ford Focus body..

This is his first RC car and i can guarantee it wont be his last if he catches that RC bug. Plasmo check out HemiStorm RC that dude is highly skilled like yourself and he has painted some amazing car bodies that completely blow my mind.

There are incredible rally car scale models that I would love to see you build with proper rally weathering. On events like Monte Carlo the way the cars accumulate salt and road grime gives them a fatastic patina. The likes of Hasegawa make great 1:24 models, but the Hiro Boy 1:12 cars are sensational (if expensive).

Hi, these can last a long time. I have a Kyosho Ultima from about 1990. Still runs, had to replace the old nicad batt packs with nmh ones about 10 years ago. But the kyoshos used a different wheel diameter so tires are impossible to find now, I will have to 3d print some new rims and get tires. Yes, amazing engineering goes into those.

I used to have the tamiya ford mondeo british touring car championship in in ford blue. It was great fun in front wheel drive. Nice that you have the Richard Burns stickers on. Sad loss to the rally world though . Same with Colin McCrae . Who also drove that car.

I was hopingnyou would have gone with light buckets, meshed scoop, no bodypost etc... still nice clean build. Love those tt02s.

Yes been waiting for new vid! ❤

Wow this surprised me! Didnt expect see RC cars here but I love it! Any plans for building more of them? I had back in 2007 Tamiya TA-04 with Audi TT DTM body. Now I have 1/8 buggy Arrma Typhon 6s and its great fun!

Klasse von Dir super daumen hoch grüße 💯✨️👍👍👍👍

definitely upgrade gears and axels to the full metal ones.. the gears have a tendency to strip pretty easy

Check out the Semi’s. They’re something to admire when done right.

Oh hey its Alternators Smokescreen :P

Wow a new video thanks you motivate me all the time to build models thank you

Plasmo! Please dont fool us! We are waiting for ugly smoothlines and minor improvements and two layers of clear vanish.

Caution: never grease the motor pinion and the transmission ring gear. Tamiya grease is only placed in the differentials of this TT02.

Should buy one of these and modify it further. Lights, wheels, lower suspension, battle scarred paint, etc. And make it RWD so you can drift it around kitchen and annoying the cat.

You should get one of the 1/16 tamiya rc tank kits, they are quite expensive but its literally a combination of remote control and model kits

Looks amazing , but I think with your skills you can make iner frame from metal to prevent wobbling of plastic body. It will be like real sport inner body frame.

IT S A PLEASURE BUILD TAMIYA RC. I ALWAYS BUILD MILITARY MINIATURE BUT WHEN I WAS A KID I ALWAYS WANT ALSO A TAMIYA RC THAT I SEE ON THEYR CATALOGUE, FIVE YEARS AGO I BROUGHT A WILD ONE THEN I PASS TO KYOSHO BUGGYS

👍👊

I was wondering why spray paints are popular with RC modelers instead of airbrush. Is it about the properties of the paint or rather the size of the body?

Is there anything you can’t build to perfection?

OMFG, no interior and no Plasmo small modifications? Who are you and what did you do with David? Should we wait for the next clip where the dashboard and the lights are added :)) ?
