Nitroholic Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 The blue springs look better. White was fine when the wheels were white...but looked out of place after. Blend in better now. And I am sure the lad will love a Lunchbox. Another RC that is BADLY in need of some serious modding! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyosho superten sports 2wd Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share Posted April 6, 2023 Yeah I'm sure I'll end up getting involved in some mods for that too 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyosho superten sports 2wd Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 Had a little attempt at recording max speed. Download a free gps speedometer app then cable tied my phone to the upper brace. Went out into the street but it had just started to rain, car was a nightmare to keep in a straight line, space was limited and braking distance was horrendous. Anyway the app worked fine. I recorded 34 mph but I'm sure I'll beat this no problem with better conditions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyosho superten sports 2wd Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) Update with better conditions max speed is reading 37mph 👍 Edited April 16, 2023 by Kyosho superten sports 2wd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) very nice mate But does that battery fit ? We used this style in our Lunchbox/Pumpkin as it just fits in battery holder. We couldnt get any of our square sided packs to fit https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/gens-ace-lipo-car-hard-case-2s-74v-4000mah-60c-bashing-with-t-type-deans-1345629 Oh and happy birthday to the lad 🎂 Edited April 20, 2023 by Stormbringer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyosho superten sports 2wd Posted April 20, 2023 Author Share Posted April 20, 2023 Yeah I purchased the rounded one especially otherwise he could have used one of mine and saved a few pound 🙄.

I don't know if it's fair to say that, I'm also a member of the Tamiya Club forum, same user name not that I've ever posted there, but they have a couple of speed threads - Speed Thread and Speed Thread 2 for example, where members try and set speed records for the fastest model of Tamiya of their choice. People are getting over 60mph close to 70mph out of Tamiya Lunch Boxes, Black Foots and other Tamiya models of that class, and some of the Tamiya models, these people are making relatively cheap and simple modifications to achieve these speeds - remember Tamiya kits generally only come with a silver can motor if they come with one no servo, ESC, receiver or Transmitter so I'm not taking those costs into account but even their silver can records section has some pretty impressive speeds, like removing the pinion and spur gear cover to install a larger tooth count pinion gear, and swapping out the pinion and spur gear from the ones supplied in the kit, cutting out parts of the pinion and spur gear cover or gear box or transmission to allow for much bigger gears to the stock ones or the official Tamiya hop-ups gears As somebody new to all of this, I'm extremely impressed by what you can achieve with the humble Tamiya kit, in some ways it makes me want to try another manufacturers kit, but I much prefer running a 1/8 scale RCs and there are very few of those in kit form, even rolling chassis are very limited.

Kyosho superten sports 2wd Posted April 26, 2023 Author Share Posted April 26, 2023 I mostly enjoy building the cars reminds me of my childhood in my dad's workshop. These days it's all about providing similar experiences for my son, also family walks are so much more interesting with 2 rc's (not for my the other half and my older daughter but you can't please everyone right) 😁. I agree you can't knock the humble Tamiya. Mine is plenty fast enough, the boys is set to around 40% throttle but he's only 5 🤯. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyosho superten sports 2wd Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) Couple of updates to the TT02B. Huge wheels and new shocks. Diffs won't handle it but I have spares. Quick test in street shows it now does wheelies. 😁 Edited December 31, 2023 by Kyosho superten sports 2wd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
