Tamiya TRF 801XT review - oople.com

Credit crunch ??

[triplesix]

I really enjoyed this review - as usual!
One thing i've noticed: could it be you mounted the brake pads upside down?
This machine looks really mean, but it seems one has to unscrew nearly the whole front or rear end to remove an tune the diffs... at least, it seems more work than on most other cars.

yeah somene pointed that out earlier haha. It's right now but when building and taking photos its all too easy to build stuff FOR a photo and lose concentration.

Look at the way I nearly ruined a pred.

Did you breathe on it

Great review Jimmy, I noticed a page not rendering correctly on chrome though.

Page 7 the jconcepts wing is center aligned instead of left aligned, I can send a screenshot if you want to see.

cheers bud, I forgot to check it in other browsers, I will take a look!

[James]

Amazing review, going to be hard to top that one

[Scouser]

Loving the review dude, awesome as ever. I am also loving the extra nitro contents recently. Oddly it is an area I seem to be getting drawn (back) into. How did you enjoy racing the smelly cars?

[jimmy]

it was good tbh - having the engine reliable is the main thing, if i've got to mess about with it then it's just going to kill it for me. the engine DMS Racing kindly lent me was great though. I enjoyed the long final, 22minutes meant even though I had a really bad bit of luck with an engine cut, I still managed 4th.
I've a couple more nitro reviews in my mind at the moment tho nothing is confirmed.

Jimmy, feel free to keep the REX for as long as is needed mate, I have about as much chance of getting my 8IGHT-T up and running this side of whenever....... (probably Easter) that I have more chance of winning the lottery tommorrow (and I dont even buy a ticket!!!)

When I need it I will let you know in good time, but for the time being just treat it as your own, I really, really mean that.

Darren

P.S. Review was very good by the way, just a shame Tamiya UK (Hobby Co) are not equally as good!!!

[bigred5765]

does that mean lean the s++t out of it,and give it death , lol

[Belsten]

This review is really top notch well jone Jimmy. It is creating an argument in my owm mind as to whether buy one of these for my 1st ever venture in to nitro Keep up the great work fella

[glypo]

Great stuff. I just read it right through, another great review Jimmy. I don't know how you do it.

Certainly good that it is a Tamiya review as well, doubt many of these will make it our tracks due to the support that you mention. Although I am sure your review will boost numbers, it looks good.

Top work
