I typed it wrong before. I was thinking of a 993 Turbo. Those are plenty fast.

Few xv01 tc pro questions
1. Think i know this one but can it use the xv01 reinforced belts?
2. 54514 xv01 stabilizer set is not compatible with the tc chassis but is a stabilizer set available if needed?
3. Do i use carbon reinforced /standard tb03 lower arms?
4. What is the max ride height?

Modified XV-01 with active wing

Nice one :-). Does the wing respond to amount of throttle, or is it controlled by a separate channel?

rayrush

Controlled by throttle. Watch at 44 sec

haplm

That's the part that made me ask the question :-). Are you using custom mix on the transmitter, or some sort of Arduino-based controller in the car?

No custom mix on transmitter. Just used a futaba sv servo which i programmed then used a y connector to throttle

I read the other day there will be a soft compound rallyblock tire from tamiya soon(item 54861). The only reference so far was only on tamiyablog.com, but a few online vendors have already created listings for the item but marked as not available yet. If this is the same compound as the super grip radials/superslicks it will be amazing. I mean even if it is the tamiya M2 compound it would still be a huge improvement and potentially a lot better than the HPI pirelli offerings.

Great news! Though I still have the original Rally Block tires that came with my xv-01. I saved them because the street can really chew them up. I find even the original compound tires are really good on grass and dirt. What would the soft compound be used for? The originals worked well on the street tio because of the tread pattern. It has a very predictable grip and drift.

The multi spoke rally wheels are where they should revisit. On almost all my cars, the inner support spoke reinforcements tend to run on my steering and a-arm components. Ive had to save them down quite a bit.

Thanks for the news

My experience with the tamiya rally block tires has been rather bad. The compound is super hard and the only scenarios where I have found it to work ok is on snow and super loose dirt and mud. Keep in mind I am running a 2900kv brushless system so maybe with the stock silver can brushed motor their grip is sufficient for you.

I would love to have more grip and have the car handle well in higher speeds also while driving off road. The Super grip Radial/Super slick tamiya compound is very sticky and quite close their slick type-a race compound, so if it is anything like that the handling will be very promising. Even the tamiya M2 compound (think of it is their Medium compound) would be a big improvement. Sure it could be that the car might lose a bit of its scale appeal since it might not drift as easily but I can live with that. I prefer to have a controllable car. My concern would tire life, but I guess we would have to wait and see about this one.

A properly grippy Rally Block tire would be a nice option, but at the same time, I prefer the scale realism of the HPI Pirelli tires. If only they were in stock...anywhere.

I don't know man. I am still not really convinced about those. Which compound do you have experience with? The D has not been as grippy as I expected. Maybe I should try the S one if I am lucky to find any of them anywhere.

That said, MST makes some interesting looking rally tires, but I have no clue if they are any good. They do look super realistic though.

...on her TT-02, when she is in "Rally-mood". It seems that they work overall fine. Bei sure to go with the softer compound.
