I thought of Ty also Cato, but it's not a Subaru. So then I looked at how smooth this guy was, and figured you or Rubba went over to Korea to teach them how to drive. Invite me over when you get your track done!

Got the XV01 and started a thread.

I got to tell you guys the car is stupid amazing!
Incredibly smooth drivetrain, sealed differentials, corners on a dime, tons of steering, jumps level and handles better then any other 10th scale rally car I have ever driven.

If you guys are on the fence with this car buy it! You won't regret it.


Also Check the rally group please!

For any new guys interested in having access to the group please PM me.

Nice find. That post is from 8/1 but I was able to talk to the guy this morning and it's still available. He's supposedly selling it for a buddy who is getting out of the hobby. I don't have that much cash laying around right now, but I'm hoping he will take a partial trade and I can unload some of my other stuff and pick that up, fingers crossed

$240 is a really good price for that TT and Tamiya combo, bet he would drop down a few bucks also. Someone better grab it quick!

He only wants 180.00 for the TT and TB01. Smokin deal!

Good luck getting the DRX.

Haven't heard back from him, no idea if it's been sold to someone else who saw it here, or what.

Stole it, one man's junk... Seems in pretty good shape other than front left tire is missing about 1/3 of the tire All nitro junk and the stock electronics will soon be dismissed, will try to dig into it deeper this weekend.

Nice score! Better see a build thread soon! We got racing coming up in about a month!

Killer deal on a Tamiya XV01 from one of the Utards in the classifieds.

Somebody jump on it!

New servo is here...just need to install it. Got a motor from Grizz...just gotta find time to install it too.

I'll probably wait until the night before. That's my usual M.O.

Only conflict I foresee for me is the first date, 10/27, will be elk hunting from 10/19-29. I'm also skipping a close family member's wedding in that window also; sacrifices.. If the rally show must go on, so be it! Hopefully a nice fat cow will stroll into the crosshairs opening morning and problem solved.

[BasicMods]

Works for me!!! got my track ready. Yes Ty, I got rid of the wood ramps and now there is a wood bridge with dirt ramps on each side. just waiting to get the actual bridge frame welded up

Ty, I can help set up & break down for each race, RPMJ said you might need some help

[R2j]

Was at HT Longmont today and got to talking with Chris, one of the guys that works there. Anyhow, he said that there is still lots of space available to the south of the race track to do a Rally track and also said there is a dump truck load of rock too. Might be something to look into. I still am looking to get an XV-01 here soon, and hopefully before the 27th.

Sorry Jake I just saw this. At least the good thing is you get one drop. Also I was talking to Griz this weekend and it looks like we have a really good format to do some stage rally events.

I will get more details soon!

Awesome Paul sounds like your track is ready. Would you like to host the first event at your place?

Sounds like it has potential Shon. Unfortunately I have a really busy schedule and don't have the time to go work on a track up there. We would love to have a race there though, if some of you northern boys can do the foot work it would be great to have another track to race at.

New thread will go up soon, getting ready for the scale event in Washington ended up taking more time then I had originally planned. Getting back into the grind of every day life now and trying to get caught up with everything.
