Hey G-Ped, thanks for the assistance. I'll have to check with Tamiya on that 29T pinion. Since this whole pitch thing is a matter of life and death for your gears, you'd think that no manufacturer would ever list any specs on a pinion or spur gear without listing the pitch. However, that is not the case, much to my dislike. It's looking like they simply don't make gearing as hard as I want it, but we'll see.

Yes, Tamiya Sports Tuned motor, and a 58t spur gear, and a 22t pinoin gear.

Yes it will go away. Best way though would be a spektrum.
I bought a JR RS310 receiver today! Im gonna install it later let you know how it goes. I installed the other receiver right on top of the servo because i have no A11 piece....would this cause any glitching? I wouldnt think so, but i could be wrong.

Dude install it on the carbon brace.. THats where most people put their recievers with a TT-01.

Macduff I would just try the sports tuned first, it's very cheap and goes very well in these cars.

Well, I hope you work it out. If you do get it sorted, tell me how it runs.

RŲeBreed, how do you like the adjustable upper arms? What did you set the camber at to begin with?

And also to GTWCS14, my brother is using the same ESC as you are, and I hard wired the motor to the ESC today, and he said it was much faster. I wasnt there to see it, but he said that you could tell the difference in speed. Maybe you should try that if your look for some more power.

RŲeBreed hang on, I see what's causing your glitching to begin with. Your nice white receiver wire is crossing your carbon upper brace. Carbon is contuctive, and hence scrambles your signal. Good luck with the new receiver, please ensure the wire only touches plastic/non contuctive material!

Well, I called Tamiya today and was informed that the TT-01 uses metric 48p and not 32p. BIGmik, where did you see that the TT-01 was 32p? Does anyone know exactly what these pitch numbers mean? I was under the impression that 32p meant 32 teeth per inch but I don't even know what that means. Is it 32 teeth per inch of circumference or diameter or what? And now that the Tamiya representative told me the TT-01 is metric 48p, what does that mean?

All I know is that when I buy pinions I use 32pitch for the propper mesh.

Tell Tamiya to shove their head where it fits and I'm right.

So I was right...


Did you ask them about the 52t spur and the 29 pinion?

I actually did hardwire the motor I just don't have pics of it, that pic of my car isn't recent. This week I should receive my ESC and my new motor for the car.

If anyone is looking for a Sport Tuned Tamiya Motor(Black Can). Hit me up through a pm!I can also work something out if you need the ESC.
