Tamiya vintage Fire Dragon

[radmaxxxx]

Cool car! I want one, too!

[ollie6991]

My car only goes backwards but not forwards. Everything else is fine. Can anyone help me make it go forward? Btw i am new to tamiya cars so english would be nice. Thanks

Hi nice RC im looking to buy the exact same one but and the ESC handle 15Turn motor?

thx 5*

[bbcalin]

The included esc handle 21-23 turn max

[warracer03]

ok and does the ''turn'' of a motor is the torque like

-turn + Torque

+turn - torque?

Thx!

[bbcalin]

I'm not sure about that , but i know that add timing up the rmp and deacrese torque. the best motor for that car are 550 one i think , i use it on my hotshot , but fire dragon don't like torque , sport tuned max , i know that because i had destruct my gearing in 5 pack with a simple 23turn 550 ! torque+big spike tyres+grass = gears death

[warracer03]

so in a tamiya KIT what would you recommend for torque?

[bbcalin]

somes tamiya kit accept 15 turn or 10.5 brushless , somes just accept sport tuned. a good choice for strong kit is 17x2 motor. i like orion method-r one

[warracer03]

What strong kit do you have in mind because im more a Nitro guy.... Electric are fairly new for me..

[bbcalin]

Strong and tamiya... lol , oh yes , the grasshopper is indestructible. for bashing with 4.5 brushless , i use a associated rc10 b4 or b44 if you want 4x4.

[warracer03]

ok because i have a BL 62ookv MLST2 form losi and its awesome also a MGT 5.0 (LRP zr30) but the tamiya would be just for bashing and fooling arround! thx i think ill go for the grasshopper! Thank and btw i subbed to your video!

[pickupman204]

is this kit one of the more simple ones to build? (looking to buy another rc to have fun with)

[bbcalin]

I think it be 7/10 on skill level but noting impossible.

[boytom999]

can u get the fire dragon wet?

[bbcalin]

No.

[boytom999]

qwarts???

[bbcalin]

you are in 2.4ghz ?

[boytom999]

yh but i turn the controler on then the car and it stil beeps!

[bbcalin]

no or bad signal , bad qwarts...

[boytom999]

when i turn it on it beeps

[bbcalin]

yes , the esc beeps when the transmiter is off

[boytom999]

i have one the same as yours what does it mean when the alarm goes off

[bbcalin]

i don't understand your question

[Phil0071979]

This buggie is pretty nippy even with a stock motor, I have 23 turn , 23,000 rpm motor in mine and it flys. It leaves me Hotshot miles behind!

[tomkear2006]

lol. I like the build process, otherwise I might have been interested.

[tomkear2006]

This car is a possible next purchase for me.

Seems pretty nippy on that stock motor :P
