Tamiya XV-01
#361
If you look in this and the rally thread, you'll see YouTube videos of our friends in the EU who have organized rally races. I think most of them are in... Romania, if I remember correctly? They have some awesome cars and awesome tracks set up, nothing like that exists here in the U.S. I've been trying to get some local rally interest going, but pretty much nobody seems interested. Very sad.
There are some guys who rally in Colorado, from time to time they post up some vids. They race against each other like Rally Cross, on narrow tracks, jumps and tight turns.
You can find them at RCcralwer forums, which has a special Rally section.
Here in Brazil is pretty much impossible to find some rally lovers. Everybody are either into extreme nitro on-road pro racing or extreme jumping and crashing off-road. So most of the tracks are either way too fast or way too jumpy. Those who like bashing, they all have some crazy ultra nitro hardcore butt ugly big foots.

My favorite rally body, how to make it fit?
Hiya folks,
The datsun 240z rally shell from tamiya is my favoritest rally shell.
How can I make it fit a xv-01 chassis?
Any suggestions?

Is possible to alter the wheelbase on the XV-01 using spacers?

Hi
Im having a little trouble with my xv01. I use mine on tarmac and gravel and a few jumps.
Basically the steering is all over the place.
Every bump and the steering alignment is either to the right or left by alot.
I took the car apart, rebuild using shims to eliminate some of the slop and still no gd.
Checked turnbuckles are straight and same lengths
Using:
Savox servo 1251mg
Kit servo saver
Front buggy CVA's with tb01 springs (longer than TRF's and just enough that the steering doesn't catch on chassis)

In addition, there is a 4mm spacer on the rear upright that can be moved in front and back of upright. (Step 22 NN19) If you built as per manual, you can shorten wheelbase by switching the spacer to the front of upright.
I think it will be close but not perfect.
