Looks nice and neat. Would love to have something like that for rallying.

Oh yeah, the narrow chassis. Beautiful!

This is very nice and well done. The body fits perfectly. Is it a DT-02 chassis?

Agreed! @Daniel_Hamburg Beautiful trio @Ferruz Stunning build. Would like to see this JPS Optima Turbo with your JPS RC10 side by side.

Favorite: XV01 - overall. So much fun to drive this chassis. It does what you like. Run smooth on tarmac, drift, jump, and just about anything on and off road except for crawling. Least favorite: SRB Ford F150. This was my first RC back in the 80s, handed down to me by my dad. On normal driving, it's ok. But once you make sharp corners, it flips on its side. Not a good RC to race on the track too. Terrible in jumps and the suspension makes it really bouncy. Also, having no diffrential gears is just really bad in cornering.

I'm not a Japanese but been there twice (last year and this year). Went to several RC shops in Tokyo, and the one shop with a lot of decal/stickers is Super Rajikon. They have a website and can be translated to english. They have four branches too. Three others ouside Tokyo. https://www.super-rc.co.jp/shop/tokyo

60mm is best bet for a touring car to rally conversion. Some chassis modification may also be done to raise the ride height and can extend the shocks to 65mm.

Very nice!

I second emotion on this. I don't know what kind of 17.5t BL motors others are using, comparing them to silvercan or Sport Tuned/Torque Tuned. But my 21.5 beats all three, and way, way faster. Surpass Rocket V3 21.5t in my XV-01 and 17.5t in one of my FF-03.

Here's a tip: CA glue, cornstarch/flour/powder & hex diver. Insert the hex driver in the screw hole. Drop some CA glue to fill the hole while the driver is inserted and put the powder on the glued area. It should dry up quickly, 3-5 secs. Then start twisting the hex driver clockwise first. If it makes a small/minimal turn/movement, turn the driver counter-clockwise to unscrew. The hex driver can cleaned by soaking the tip in acrylic thinner for a day. It will help disolve some of the CA glue but not completely. Just enough to pull out the glued screw and clean the driver's tip.

Looks nice. A baby XV-02. Does it share some parts with the XV-02? Like steering set, center shafts, diffs?

It says 1:10 and doesn't look like an SCT. https://www.rcmart.com/traxxas-1-10-ford-fiesta-st-rally-bl-2s-4x4-rtr-blue-version-ep-w-2-4ghz-radio-74154-4blue-00129368

I saw this in RCMart a few days ago. Looks nice. Another new rally car is this by Traxxas. NIce to see more and more rally cars from reputable brands. It shows that many RC enthusiasts have ventured into other platforms aside from off-road buggies and on-road touring cars which are/were the most popular in the 80s and 90s.
