superted 121 Posted February 16, 2021 Hi Just looking at the TC 01 kit any thoughts??? just like the different suspension set up and would like to put a touring car body on instead of the factory body. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superluminal 3729 Posted February 16, 2021 There was a great build thread on here not long after it came out. When I first saw it I really really wanted one but now dont have particularly strong feelings for it. I like the idea of it fitting lower profile bodyshells from the f103gt or similar and also standard touring cars. If they released it as a TC01-R chassis set with some of the hop ups i might be interested again but the current formula-e body does nothing for me apart from look scarily complicated. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or at least release some prototype bodies. I'd buy one if I had, say, a 917-30 or a 787B to put on top. The Formula E body is really neat, and is probably the 959 of our era, though, so I'm tempted to do a runner and a shelfer. It'll probably take me more than two tries to make the body properly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jupitertwo 1484 Posted February 17, 2021 I think unless you need the low profile front, or find that suspension set up particularly attractive, buy a TB05 or TA07 instead. Given you don't want to use the Formula E body too... It's quite fiddly to get the electrics in there, and I didn't find the suspension coped that well with even slightly bumpy surfaces. Surfaces that other TCs don't moan about. A nice idea by Tamiya, but a bit niche, suited to their one make racing series I expect. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
