I want to sell my TT-01. How much you think is a fair price for this:

Practically brand new!!!
-Lots of new aluminum parts
-Carbon Fibre braces
-Aluminum Shocks
-15T motor
-CVD's all around
-Novak ESC
-Steering servo included.
-Tires aren't even glued yet!

The only items not included are the battery and Spektrum receiver.

Anything after that is more or less "bling" Berrings/oil filled socks/alum drive shaft are the only must haveson a tt01.

Oil shocks if running at speed makes a world of difference to the handling m8

It helps take out the slop in the steering by adding the alloy steering rake but tbh just get the E version (TT-01E) they sorted out the steering problem on that one it handles a lot better

I think he might have been saying get the TT-01E version steering rack and install in on your TT-01.

Thats awsome!

Has anyone had any problems with the steering linkage? I find that mine keeps comming loose where it screws into the chassis. I know the holes are not stripped because it goes in tight but after 1-2 batt. paks. its really loose. Any ideas on how to fix this? So far im tryed blue thread lock...didnt work then a bit of hot glue..worked better but still came loose.

what i do is stick the point of the zip tie and cut it off so that when you put in the screw it goes in tight enough that it doesn't come out. make sure it's a small zip tie.
this dodge stratus is my new project Iplan to take it to track to compete.
