If I remember, they are Fastrax wing mirror set for 1/10 scale. You get 6 or 7 pairs of different mirrors. I had to modify it a bot to fit but does the job nicely I think.

The Wheels are HPI 2.2” Turbofans, the fans are secured in place by the wheel nut

Wel…. She’s coming along slowly. Still got a few bots to get it sitting just right. Had a badword of a job finding low profile tyres for the 2.2” wheels. Wanted some drift ones but couldn’t source any so have put some Lego Technic tyres on just for now!

It’s about 200mm or slightly over. I’m planning on running HPI Turbomac wheels (if they ever come bach in stock!), these have 6mm offset so the TL01 migh be better suited. Thanks for all the help everyone, much appreciated.

This is great info. Thank you all v much. This will be a lot of help 👌👍

That’s great stuff, thanks. Did you have to use longer drive shafts I presume? Other than that, was there anything else that you added? thanks again

Will do for sure, if I can find out more about what I need to make the MF-01X work. I would prefer to use this chassis or similar to get the drift/road look so can have it sitting low. Just don’t want end up to shelling out a fortune to het it to work 😂

Noticed there’s a long arm kit for the TL01, would this do the job?

That’s brilliant info, thanks. If I use the TL01 arms, what else would I need to go with it? Such as drift shafts etc? Thanks again

I have an idea to mount a Honda City Turbo body on this chassis as the wheelbase can be achieved quite easily. But the track on this chassis is 163mm and I want to be able to make it suitable for 200mm wide body. I’ve been told that TL01 arms might make it slightly wider but not enough. Has anyone else done something similar with this chassis? Thanks

Thanks, that’s a lot of help 👍

I’m trying to find some wheels that would fit the Blackfoot. Preferably chrome or white and wider but finding it difficult to source any in the UK. But came across some Bruiser clone wheels & tyres, I realise they are the same width but it’s a cheap price. So wondering what would I require (some sort of adapters) to make them fit? thanks in advance.

Thanks guys, looks hopeful there still producing them so that’s good. Will hold out for a kit or possibly the Lancia model kit. Any recommendations for ESC and servo to go with this kit? Will possibly be looking for an upgrade motor too so maybe best going for a combo?

I was initially going to go for this (MF-01X Escort Mk2) but then after reading many posts on here, found that the XV-01 is a much better chassis for giving a more ‘real driving’ rally feel to it! But like you say, options for a ml2 body on the XV-01 is pretty limited.

Thanks for the help and info guys. Much appreciated. Anyone know if a mk2 escort body would fit the Xv-01T chassis then? 🤔

Just had a look in Tamico but they only had the Lancia model kit (which is a bit more expensive than others I had seen). The chassis kit is sold out unfortunately (long damper version, couldn’t find any other XV-01 chassis on their site😒

I’m based in the U.K will have a look in Tamico. thanks

They seem out of stock everywhere in chassis kit form! There are the odd one left with the Lancia body but at a higher price than they used to be, so just wondering if they have stopped producing them?!

Ah, you got me all excited there for a minute 😅 prices seems really cheap on that site but shipping is astronomical 😬

Yes you are correct. 257mm wheelbase. This might make it easier to source a body then. As the TT-01/02 are very popular, I think anyway.

I have had a look at their site, and as you say, a lot of stuff are oos unfortunately. However, I think the bodies/shell that they have are mostly to fit the TT-01/02 chassis. The wheelbase is different to the XV-01 I believe!

Hello, new to the Forum. Does anyone know where I could get a good quality body for the XV-01 chassis? I’m yet to purchase my first Tamiya and from what I’ve read so far, this is the chassis that would suit my needs. I know Tamiya has recently released a MF-01X chassis kit with the Escort body but I believe the XV-01 with lomg dampers is a better chassis for rallying. hope anyone can advise, Many thanks.
