GTWCS14: Your car kinda looks like mine...LoL.


And what are these "rare japan parts"? I thought ive seen every TT-01 hop-up...please let me know. Thanks!

GTWCS14

Well rare to the North American market, I'm waiting for my local hobby shop owner to e-mail me the links.
I will be placing my order within the next 2 weeks as he is going over there for some business so he informed me of a few things that he will be able to get and when I do get the links e-mailed to me I will post the websites.


You car looks like mine LOL[:@]

G-Ped

bIGmiK

Yes it will work, and nothing else is needed.

G-Ped

I'll take a few tomorrow for you.

I think they also come on the TT01D, as well as the TT01R.

bIGmiK

So the suspension arms for the TT-01D would be the ones, right?

http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/produc...ducts_id=15049 << They the right ones? Need anything else?

TT01 Racer

how fast will i go with this motor http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJNG1&P=7 and this escape http://www.one18th.com/forums/attach...chmentid=22920 or do you know of any better 12t motors

p.s. is the esc worth it , is it good

bIGmiK

WIll go about 35-40mph.. LOok at Team Brood modified motors.. they are insane!

Rare

hey bigmik, foams have better grip than rubber, but dont last as long right? and the other way around for the rubber tires...

G-Ped

Yea that looks like them. You need like a grub screw (but much longer) for the arms to change the setup, and like these little metal plates that go in a little indented section on the bumper parts. They're there so the grub screw dont dig a hole into the plastic.

Part numbers: 9805684 (Screw)
9808007 (Plate)

bIGmiK

Foams last longer and have better grip.. Also are cheaper, for a basher foams are the best way to go no way about it.

bIGmiK

Damn I can't find those part numbers anywhere... Can you please link me?

Also what are the advantages of lower adjustable arms aswell as upper's?

I'm not sure if they come with the kit, but if they do, nothing wrong with having a few spares huh?

Ground clearance and or rebound stroke has a great effect on stability during cornering, acceleration and braking.

G-Ped

Ohh, and also one more advantage would be that your car is one step closer to the magnificent TT01R, which is worth a good 10 brownie points haha.

bIGmiK

Thanks man.. By the way you gave me the Tamiya Item number.. not the product code number.

Oh well..

I'm thinking I'll just buy a brand new TT-01R. Comes with most of the hop-ups im buying, for only a small portion more.

Hy Guys

Just got my TT-01 built and running after having it in a box for a year (now i have to build the TA04R as well), took it out and had a ball with it

the only real upgrade i have is the Monster2 Co27 motor, and 3800 cells and man does this thing move. I have been reading this thread and i still dont really understand the gearing aspect maybe some one could post a link or explain it a bit for me

I am also looking for upgrades for it, i know i am going to need ball bearings for sure, but what else would you recomend for performace upgrades, not astetics (looks)

G-Ped

Alu. prop shaft, metal cup joints and dog bones and damper suspension.

I did some testing today with locked diffs and tires. I locked the rear diff, and tried it with drift tires. It was much easier, and it was easy to control through 'S' sections. With normal slicks, the front had a little less traction, and a little understeer at full throttle when turning. But the rear traction was the same, although if you pinned the throttle and turned hard left/right it would be able to pull donuts easily.

I'm going to try it with the front locked and the rear tommorow.
