Dewindoeth Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Has anyone done this? If so, what brand body did you use? Also, would it work with the long damper version? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-racing Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Hi do you mean that new Tamiya oldschool rally FORD body? I love that body self. i Wonder what other rigs this body fits , that are better than tamiyas own rig. The tamiya rig is too much toy grade for me. Im dreaming of have one car with this body, i need atleast 2s, better with 3s, one rig that is durable, and more racing. something that handles well at 50mph , and i want this tamiya body on it 🙂 any ideas? is this body 190mm wide ?

Dewindoeth Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 Hi, No I’m on about using the XV-01 chassis. I believe the one that Tamiya has brought out as a kit which includes the mk2 body is MF-01X chassis. From what I’ve read, the XV-01 chassis is better hence why I would prefer to use this one. It’s 185mm wide and wheelbase is 257mm. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry.sc Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Not many options for touring car size, there's only the L and L Models range of Mk2s https://landlmodels.co.uk/search?q=tc022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned have a look on L&L models website They have a Ford Sierra sapphire Cosworth body coming soon 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-racing Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 i like that the XV-01 is covered, also beltdriven. These feel nice, almost like sensored feeling. No kogging at all. Soft, silent, great feeling. Is there any options you suggest? adjustable oildampers offcourse what else do you believe is important upgrade on these XV-01 i like to have brushles combo , 3650 3300kv 80a esc 2s lipo in this car if i buy one and this cool Escort rally body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
