The tt-01 understeers like none other at speeds of +35-40mph. My tt-01 was made to primarily to mess around and powersliding to show off it someones watching.
i have HPI x-pattern tires on my car and they are probably the best for street/parking lot bashing. My car handles fairly well but i have ot use a lot of throttle control to make sure it doesn't oversteer because the mamba brushless will snap the tail with ease. For a normal or beginner driving that has a craving for need for speed yeah.. this chassis is not what you want..

RCmart has always had these parts.. they have possibly the widest selection of hop ups for tamiya cars.. and just a huge selection of other parts
These are the shocks i have on my tt-01. http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/produc...ducts_id=20838. with the stiffest spring and 35wt oil

Got abit of a head scratcher here guys lol
went to the LHS today and bought a no limit ESC and a orion method R 15 turn motor,well just hooked it all up on a half charged battery and when i accel the motor powers but the steering servo kicks straight to one side??? [X(]
aint got a clue why.. only thing i can think of was using a half charged battery and it didnt have alot of juice left..
charging up now to find out what it does on a full battery.I check to make sure the power connectors from the ESC to the motor were correct and they are lol
hmmmmm[sm=confused.gif]

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
Do you change anything on your transmitter when turned it on. I know for me if I change to reverse mode on my spektrum controller it kicks the steering to one side. Strange that it would do that on a half charge battery if you did not change anything on your controller. I hope you figure it out cause I am scratching my head on that one to.

Well just got back in (freezing out there tonight [])
Looks like it was that flat battery she flew round the carpark and to be fair those method R motors are the bomb, makes my checkpiont 19 look so slow!!!!
only bad piont hit a raised part and it launched into a barrel roll on top of my cossie shell[X(]
alls good tho a few scratches but well impressed with these method 17 turns

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
the low battery and your motors causes a high amp draw and this probably weakens your BEC and this causes your reciever to glitch..

should handle a lot better if i actually tuned the suspension.. also needs better torque split.

Mine understeers like a plow as well. I find it's easier to just let go of the throttle, turn sharply into the corner and mash the throttle to powerslide my way out.

Hmm, this reminds me, there's a fully charged pack waiting to be used in the TT-01.

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
rwd and a torque split like 40/60 is totally different.. just having better power distribution between the front and back will greatly change the cars dynamics. however we don't' have that luxury in the tt-01. having both the front and back spinning the same is whats causing the understeer through the corners. theres just not enough grip in teh front to put the power down and turn at the same time. I actually like driving my F103 more than my other cars.. Rwd actually requires skill and reflexes to drive, but damn they are fast and mine handles like a housefly with its massive front/rear spoilers
these cars also need more downforce(hence the use of ridiculous looking wedge bodies which i absolutely hate).
of course only some of these applies to RCs.. but 90% of my driving/tuning dynamics of cars is from 1:1 tuning

Actually I've just found the same thing. I've just finihsed installing a whole bunch of hop-ups and it just doesn't center back... ever.
Could make life a little interesting I guess.
Wonder what the problem could be?
