In this video, we take a look at two Tamiya front wheel drive RC cars, one from 1996 and the other, a 2024 BT-01 RC release. I will be building these up on the show real soon but first, let's see what you get in the box and how different are these two kits.

Raced the mondeo when I was a kid and it still sits on my shelf 😊
-
The FF01 is in my top three Tamiya chassis of all time. The build is fun, is has a superb balance on track and looks gorgeous with hop-ups. Then every body came with its own wheel design… With your friends you could do a proper race, everybody could choose his body and you could have it all quite realistic regarding the cars met in real 1:1 on track too.
-
FF01 was my first Tamiya RC EVER at 9 years old (my grandpa painted the Renault Clio body) and I´m thrilled to re-live that build on the next video, Gav. A huge thanks!!
Tamiya, we need this chassis re-released!! -
I raced the Tamiya Mondeo back in 94-95 in parking lot races in the Atlanta area, it was a great chassis back then.
-
Looking forward to these builds! That FF01 was my first car and I still love driving it. I bought the Clio Williams kitset as well as the Mondeo body and wheels and run it between SWB/LWB for the two shells. I even managed to get Paul Radisich to sign the rear window of the Mondeo. If your doing box art, I reckon you should do standard blue, it looks superb!
-
I do love the mondeo, cant wait to see the build video Gav, and good luck with the stickers 🤞 im sure you’ll pull it off
-
The FF01 comes with oil shocks, so its automatically better in my book.
-
The Ford Mondeo is a massive score Gavin congrats getting that one! I also think that the metallic blue would look much better than the plan blue. Very exciting video for me.
-
old one is a way better chassis!
-
I love the FF01… I have two. You must be aware that the plastics in the shock towers and motor mount areas tend to be brittle. They easily crack so do not over tighten.
The FF01 is better hands down. Tighter and better designed. -
Remember having on if these back in the day with a pokey motor it ate front tyres 😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍
-
That Mondeo kit is gorgeous, please do it correct colour box art, it would be a shame to deviate on a vintage new build! The body and wheels are super-rare and I’m guessing you won’t get another chance.
-
I've got an MB-01, which like the BT-01has multiple configurations, I was going to do the MK2 Escort with it, now I'm thinking about a dual motor set up, god sake Gavin!
Giving me crazy ideas 😂😂😂 -
I’m betting the old car it better, as the new car is modular and hence slightly compromised in each configuration.
-
I've still got my Mondeo (and Clio) ff01's. They are great! I wish I could get a new Mondeo shell for it though
-
As someone who has owned both chassis I know what one will win out of the box.
-
The mirrors are also on the Honda civic drift car and the Castrol body set 51421.
-
The slop in BT01 lets it down a little, you have to shim and tinker with it to get it run nice.
-
Can’t wait to see your reveiw on max slash
-
I have an NIB Fors Mondeo, too. Never had time to build it.
