That the belt drive chassis version ? I did look at it but as soon as a read it had used a belt I quickly scratched that off my list ... hate belts they wear to fast and always need changing or upkeep all the time.... I like full drive shaft much more reliable.

Got mine from bazaihobby I ordered a violet kit from them and they did good and it came in like 5 days!

I wouldnt rule the xv out completely as a future purchase if you love rally,

I see on various other forums it has a bit of a following already and is the current flavour. But interested to see your thoughts on this new tt02 chassis and looking forwad to pics when you build/run it

I just hate belt cars I had a few and they all did the same belts wear fast and are problematic.... no way as reliable as a shaft drive system..... hence no more belt drives for me! if I was to enter a 24 hour race with a team belt drive would be my last choice!

[kontemax]

Yes, I did it.

I decided, Mr. Tamiya has executed. Chuck Norris is none.

Maximo per Presidente!

Actually, how about Santa too?

I am going to see how much greasing I have to do to Mrs Berman to get a XV-01 Integrale for my Birthday in a few weeks...

[shenlonco]

WOW!!

Got it today that was SUPER FAST!!!

Kit looks good just don't like the plastic prop shaft and that they don't give you foam tire inserts you have to buy them as a option part???? COME ON TAMIYA THIS IS STUPID!

[kontemax]

Rally tires never had foams as stock option if I remember well...

probably will work much better with them don't you think?

[kontemax]

Absolutely yes but only with the soft sponge compound imho, not hard sponge used on touring cars.

looked at the chassis this is heavy in a good way it's strong as heck way better than the flimsy TT01 I used to own... Tamiya in a video spoke about how much stronger the new chassis was and they where correct,.
