Popular Post oodboo Posted April 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2020 After a bit of a break from rc the lockdown prompted me get my cc01 and lunchbox out and get them running again. This didn't occupy me for long enough and I had the itch to build something. I've got a couple of m chassis cars and it didn't take long for me to settle in the MF01x beetle. Ordered the kit with a set of bearings and a servo and as soon as it arrived I got to work. I'm going with what I thought was the box art colour scheme so ordered some black and red paint. However the manual says black and orange. Nevermind, mine will be black and red. I'll add more photos when the body is done. There's not much talk of the MF01x on here so if anyone has any questions ask away. Cheers 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post oodboo Posted April 19, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2020 Masking off the bonnet was a ball ache but worth it in the end I think. It's not perfect but once the decals are on it should be looking pretty good. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post oodboo Posted April 21, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2020 Finally got the body finished last night. Too most of the day (around other stuff) cutting out all the decals but I'm happy with the end result. I took the chassis out for a spin yesterday without the body (could wait 🙂). It's quite bouncy with the friction shocks but I've got a set of tamiya cva shocks to build and fit today. I'll get some better photos later but these will do for now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Young Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I think I may have to buy a 3rd kit during this lockdown that looks awesome, does it have similar shocks to wat comes on a lunchbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 They're not the same as what the lunchbox gets but they're not much better. I've always like the tamiya cva shocks so bought them for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No brains Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I am looking a long time now to buy this car, but for now I spent way to much, but some day I buy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) This wasn't quite fast enough for my liking out of the box. I was thinking about going brushless but with Tamiya the faster you go there faster you break it. I stuck with the stock motor (tamiya torque tuned) and swapped the pinion from the standard 16t to a 20t. Much better. That's running on 2s lipo, I tried 3s for a laugh but that was just too fast. So yeah, 20t pinion and a 2s lipo is the sweet spot for me. Edited April 26, 2020 by oodboo Ttpo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PraetoR Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I've never seen this chassis before! Is it an old design? At first glance it looked like a rear-motor TL-01, but then the dimensions look smaller and people are using them for off-road. Exactly what market is this chassis in?

I think the chassis came out about 2 years ago. It’s an M class car like the front wheel drive M05 and the rear wheel drive M06. The wheelbase can be changed between three options, shortest being 210mm and this body is the longest 239mm. I don’t know what people are doing with them but I’m having a lot of fun with mine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Maybe 4 years old, not 2. I don’t really know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oodboo Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Since the last update I've swapped the servo for a faster low profile one. Swapped the motor for a 12t brushed one and fitted the Tamiya alloy prop shaft. I took out the beach with that motor and it flies but the tyres also fly off so I've fitted foams and glued them. I might go back to the Tamiya torque tuned add the 12t motor is too fast for general use. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post oodboo Posted August 12, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2020 I did go back to the torque tuned motor, the 12t was just too much for anywhere but the beach. It’s still quick enough. Here’s a short video from last night: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t2boats Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I bought one of these in 2019, an enjoyable build. Seems very solid. Body is yellow with black bonnet. Fitted some ali wheels and different tyres (never used the stock ones), oil filled shocks all round rather than the pogo sticks, full bearing set, 13T brushed motor with 1060 esc. It runs really well too. We have a TT02 rally class at the club so it's ran amongst those. It looks great zipping around the track! (indoors tarmac), not taken it off-road, and probably won't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Holy Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 How does it compare with the TT02’s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
