are you using stock tire?

i will soon post pics of my ice/snow rally tt01

quite fun, 12T losi motor, and some STUDDED TIRES 0-full speed in snow in 4 sec no wheel spin

nice job Dude, A+

Using tamiya rally tires.

SIRCC

what did you use to insolate the electronics?

Straighthate

early 90s tamiya balloons. Just over the cpr unit and half the servo. Ghetto saran wrap around the rear chassis.

my car works great in the slush and puddles and wut the hay its heavy enough to sink to the bottom and drive across the bottom( its really fun)

hey guys, got a question, and links to any products would be great..

picked up a couple tt-01's, and have been reading through the thread, a found a couple of my answers, but not all of them.

what parts other than the aluminum center shaft/shocks/tires need to be upgraded on these chassis?
I am planning to use a spare brushless system (6400kv) on the car, just for some bashing..not actually going to race the car, except for mabey straight line speed runs..

help me out..I have owned alot of rc's, but never owned a Tamiya.

Bearings, if they don't have bearings, that's going to be a must.. especially with that size brushless system.

I have a couple boxes of bearing here at home, just need to go through them and make sure I have the right ones.

anything else? found some gears/chassis conversions/a-arms/etc..

Alum steering set up, it gets rid of alot of the slopyness.

thanks slim.

nice EG hatch by the way..both 1/10 and 1:1 scale..not much of a honda fan, but have always like EG's for some reason.

^^ Thanks! I dont like hondas eather but i fell in love with my EG hatch. *cries* i miss her lol.

The Rigger

Are they glued on? Nail polish remover kills cyanolate cement (superglue) toot-sweet. Gets it right off your fingers when you're sloppy gluing new rubber on, too.

The Rigger

Dump the plastic bushings everywhere in the chassis & get the ball bearing kit. That should be your absolute first mod, *especially* if you're planning on running a high-zoot motor.

Adjustable upper arms & aluminum steering gear are pretty much a must-do, to take the slop out of the steering & suspension, plus without them you have no really effective way to adjust your wheel alignment.

A decent set of tires is pretty much mandatory - the OEM Tamiya slicks are fine for some basic, semi-controllable drifting, but the only thing they're really good for is keeping the chassis tub from dragging on the asphalt - they're horrid speed tires and not all that great for drifting. Good enough to learn the car on, but that's really about it.

If your goal is speed, you'll eventually be playing games with gear ratios. Get some different spur & pinion gears, and play around 'til you find a combo that sets your heart on fire.

Good luck & let us know how you progress,

Yep cheer's for the tips have heard about boiling the rims was wooried about warping will give it a try right now whats left the nail remover.
xxSLiMxx..... Nice EG.
I'am boiling...

Hi

I just picked up a phantom stock motor 27 urn for my tt01 cheap. Does anybody have any advise around gears and pinion set up for this and would i need to update from the stock esc?

Cheers Jay

Hi i picked a 100g bag off ebay thanks for the tip i plan to try it after xmas.

Have you used it yet?

Cheers Jay

^^ Not yet im still waiting for it to show up....i should have it by next week the latest.

Hi

I just picked up a fantom team stock motor 27 Turn for my tt01 cheap. Does anybody have any advise around gears and pinion set up for this and would i need to update from the stock esc?

It is also fitted with a schiokty Diode can anybody explain what this is?

Sorry for the noob questions but if you dont ask you dont get!

Many Thanks for the support

Jay

Your ESC is fine for now. As for gearing just start with a low gearing and work your way up untill you find a combo you like...something with a good mix of torquw and speed. A diode is more or less makes your motor work fastest with power getting to the motor quicker, and i beleve it also cuts down on radio noise (less glitching)

The Rigger

Close, but not quite all the way there... ESCs switch the motor power on and off rapidly at partial throttle, rather than varying the voltage the motor sees. High-rate ESCs use a Schottky diode to recirculate motor current while the ESC's MOSFETs are switched off, which helps make the motor turn and run smoothly through the switching cycle - high-performance motors (especially brushless) are *very* sensitive to this power-switching. Most ESCs have an onboard diode, but some require a second one mounted on the motor, especially if the leads between the ESC and the motor are quite long (not really the case with TT-01 cars). They do also perform a bit of RFI filtering, but that's a secondary benefit...

While it's true that this high-frequency MOSFET switching can induce interference or noise in the motor system, that's usually cured by soldering one or more capacitors or even choke coils across the motor terminals, in addition to the diode. It's not unusual to see both capacitors and Schottky diodes used together, depending on the ESC/motor combination. You usually see it in R/C aircraft, where a glitch in the motor would have much more serious results than in a car, if you know what I mean... ;^)

If your ESC/motor system does need a diode, be *ABSOLUTELY* sure to solder it on with the banded end towards the POSITIVE motor terminal.

HTH,

Hello all , need help getting my tt-01 gearing to 4 2 fdr has anyone done this. I have a speed passion 17.5 I wanted to use ,any idea's out there. Thanks in advance

dfiantii

To get 4.2 which is what i have right now you will have to dump the tub chasis for the 3racing chasis and do some modification to the gear box of the 3racing chasis to make the gearing work. Check out the rctech.net tt01 forum from post 835 i think to the end and you will get the info you seek but it may be more work to get it there and your willing to do. Right now I have a motor heat issue that I am trying to pin down and can't seem to fix it and that with an fdr of 4.2 i think. I am running a kawada 65t 48 pitch spur with a 39t 48 pitch pinion.

Hi i have the 55t 58t spur and 24t and 25 pinions ready for my TT01 and i want to try these with a new motor (i also have a fantom 27t that i will be testing after xmas).

I wanted to know which of the following motors would work best (for speed / control) for the above set up - note im using the stock esc with bearing and aliminium shaft.

Ansmann 23T???

Hey you guys so thats it, its christmas time and it looks like im good to go for a new brushless system... as ive said before, i have no clue about brushless...

whats the best brushless kit to buy? one thats good quality and versatile for different motors as well as different battery type... i run nicd but want to switch to lipo soon

oh man oh man cant wait

im getting the carbon fibre chassis as well
