  1. Definitely check pinion. I am 99% sure that there is the cause of issue.
  2. It does not sound like issue with motor. Is pinion not loose on motor axle? When you tightened grub screw in pinion, have you checked that it is on flat part of motor axle?
  3. Unfortunately I do not have good place to try "Racing by Post", but really like idea. In that case, I have few comments. 1. 30 minutes sounds fine. 2.5h in my opinion is just much too long. Many things can happen during this time. Not everyone can run cars in totally closed area, so it would be shame to not finish race, because someone decided to park car on race track or kids started to play around. 2. Pit Stops: I can swap battery in TT-02 in 20 seconds and probably need 2 minutes to do the same in XV-01. I know that it is part of the challenge, but maybe it would be fair to force e.g. 2 minutes Pit Stops. You can stop for longer, but it has to be at least 2 minutes to change packs, drink etc.
  4. Just to be clear: I do not want to buy anything I have not even run XV-01 and TT-02. I just started to think what is available from Tamiya.
  5. I ordered Wera Hex- Plus. I will write few words when I will receive them.
  6. Maybe I named it wrong: I care about all RC related things but sometimes, I am just not able to do things I as want. Decals are one of those things and I started to think, that maybe it is not worth to stress about this.
  7. Hi, I started to be more and more interested in Touring Cars. I know that TT-02 is basic, entry level kit. Type S seems to be interesting and on bit different level than stock version. Then there is really expensive SRX. I also found TC-01 chassis, which seems to not be very popular. Why? TA-08 I believe is modern chassis with quite good price. There is also XV-01 TC and XV-02 PRO. On the Top, there are all TRF cars. Now the main question: If we exclude all versions of TT-02, which chassis is good "basher" with adjustable suspension? Something which can be run on parking and will not be damaged after few minutes.
  8. Yes, I do not have problem to apply them. I mostly have problem to cut circle decals. They are even more annoying, when color is similar to background and you even cannot see cutting line I just was not happy with result, then tried to apply them and at the end... you know rest of the story. Good thing is, that even without decals, that body still looks like Mercedes CLK!
  9. That is exactly reason, why I do not to spend too much time on them. However... I ordered set from Carson: I hope at least lights will fit, because that it is main issue for now. If not, I will at least have nice sponsor logos. In worst scenario, I will just have nicely painted and cut body
  10. That is what I did with my Buggies and result, at least for me, was more than good. Unfortunately, it does not work with "real" cars :|
  11. Update: I started to work with decals and as I expected, it was horror... I do not have problem with applying decals. Problem is that I am not able to cut them on level that I am happy with. Despite I have some experience and really nice cutting tools, it is just too hard for me. That is why I think that decals have to be Pre Cut... After I wasted whole sunday and damaged major decals... 1. I ordered Carson decals as a spares. Of course I know that it is different body. I mean, that they are for the same "real" car. Maybe I will be able to use at least some of them. 2. If not, I will just put some Tamiya logos and stripes, just to have fun and do not care. I have mixed feelings about this. I like to look on all that fancy looking cars. On the other hand, my cars are full time "runners", so I need something which has to work, not look perfect. That is why I am big fan of "generic" bodies like below: I even created Topic about this:
  12. @GermanTA03Guy I wanted to reply on previous posts, that most of RCs I saw looked just like a toys, so maybe there is no reason to waste time and energy on "runner". There was just one guy with great cars... Yes, it was you. I am still impressed. It seems, that I am just a fan of "generic" bodies like this: Now I am working on Mercedes CLK AMG. Problem is that I damaged major decals. I ordered decals from Carson for the same car. Obviously, despite it is the same car in reality, Carson and Tamiya bodies are different. I hope I will at least be able to use head lights/ tail lights decals.
  13. Hi, Question as in Topic. Do you care about body decals? I bought TT-02 with Pre Painted body. I had a lot of fun with build, but when I started to work on body, I wasted whole day and only damaged few decals. At the end of the day, I started to think: should I even care about this? I do not like to cut and apply decals. Then it is problematic, because it is hard to wash body without damaging some of the decals. Is there anyone who thinks in similar way? I really think, that maybe I will just put few Tamiya logos, maybe some racing stripes and just go and have fun... BTW: do not get me wrong, it is not about time and fact, that I just want to go and run. Weather is awful and I do not see chance for improvement in nearest future.
  14. It should not be like that. I ran few motors in really bad conditions and they worked fine. Which ESC do you have? Remove motor and try to spin wheels. Are they totally free?
  15. 10 minutes? Definitely there is something wrong. What happened?
