The first part of the new 3 part series of Pro Tips with former Euro Touring Series winner and European Champion Jilles Groskamp. In this opening part Jilles runs us through his current equipment and the basic setup for the Tamiya 417
lol you sure? If I ran mod I would be better assured with the durability of the pieces. Im no pro but I bet flex would be a major issue with non aluminum pieces for the bulkheads and suspension mounts. This aint no tt01........... this is a full blown model race car.
I bet that car could be lightened up if they didn't have all that unnecessary aluminium, its a on road it does not need to be super strong and durable.
Hi Mr Groskamp, what have you done to me, now a have to buy a 417.
I hope Tamiya does a good sponsoring to you, because your tips are always the best, really professional.
A guy on my team has really some problems with the tamiya gear-diff II, just recommended your vid.
Also thanks to your old tips for the 416 - ok, its outdated now, so no more to look for.
keep up the good work and thank you very much.

Great videos! Is there a detailed list of all parts, modifications, and setup changes for this setup anywhere? I'd like to build an identical car.

@TheBrushlessracer - Yeah, Since He's Only The European Champion, Maybe Him And His Entire Team Didn't Think of it Like That.
