Hey, anoyone can answer this question.

Anyone tried to use a Tamiya Universal drive shaft for TT-01's. Looks like they both have the same lengths.

Thanks

I beleve that there just a bit to long....im not 100% on that tho. IMO i would just get a set made for the TT01. Mine have never let me down.

Chatty Matty

If you mean f/r being the same, yes they are the same length. But from what I have seen out there usually folks prefer to only use the lightweight (alloy) shafts in the rear and use the steel ones in the front. The steel ones are a teensy bit heavier, but don't bend as easily in a crash. The old TL-01 universals fit, but are prolly heavier than the newer CVD style most folks sell nowadays, and the CVD's can be rebuilt if need be.

-Cheers

does anyone know any cheap strong metal gear servos? like under $20 US

xxSLiMxx

You can get "TowerPro" servos from ebay....beaware tho, ther cheep servos. Your better off spending the extra cash and getting something good. IMO.

Jem93

will they work, cos i need one for my tt01 steering and one for my Nitro truck steering, will they be strong enough?

Allan Aguilar

Oh I see, I was test fitting my original Tamiya TL-01 universals to my TT-01 a few nights ago, and it looks to me that it may fit. Since I still have all the original diff out drives and axle from the TT-01 which are oversized, the only thing that I have to do is purchase a pair of diff joint cups which is way smaller the the stock joint cups. I intend to use the universals on the fronts, it doesnt matter if it will be made of steel or aluminum, weight does not matter too.

xxSLiMxx

They will work and you can get some really stong ones for around $10-15.00 but im sure you've heard the saying "You get what you pay for" They wont last long.

Chatty Matty

Oh yeah, my bad, I forgot the non-letter cars (TT01-E/D/R) had those big plastic cups...yeah, to convert the fat plastic bones to steel bones just use the 50823 wheel axle (1 pair), 50883 for the standard dog bone (1 pair, same for TL01, TT01 TG10, TB01, TA04) and 53790 cup set (for standard gear diff) or 53806 cup set if you have the ball diff. For the front just pick up the universals (same as TL01) and the 53790 or 53806 cup set and you are good to go.

My Feedback: (2)

Heres two pics that I could find at the moment

xxSLiMxx

I made them out of LEDs and clear straws.

Jem93

wow, nice! aren't those batteries heavy? and did you stick them on with double sided tape?

xxSLiMxx

There just small 9v batterys not heavy at all. Its just servo tape holding them on.

Jem93

good idea about the LED in the straws, looks life-like!
