Would anyone in here say that foam tires are better than rubber ones? I've heard else where that foam will last longer... Is this true?

xeliman

they do better contact with the ground but they melt a lot faster

xeliman

some other brands making good hop-ups also except tamiya for this chassis check them out,one i preffer is gpm racing it does a good job on this,except the shock he made all others are good.

I prefer foamies over rubbers, better grip and mine seem to last for ages...

rcluke

I agree, i prefer foams, unless i drift, then i like to use rubbers with foam inserts taped up.

RiCeY i am running a Trinity Revenge of the monster motor (27t i think)

RiCeY

Yeah when drifting I use the rubbers that came with the TT-01D they seem to work pretty well.

If you want a lot more power/speed you can go a much lower turn motor with the TT-01. All you need to do is get an ESC to suit and be a bit more carefull to save the gears ie no full throttle off the line with the foamies on (its ok with the drift tyres on because they slip and dont load up your gears).

Im running a 9 turn and so far have gotten 60kph (37mph) out of the TT-01 and it does high speed drifting pretty well

rcluke

nice, what sort of ESC and motor would you reccomend me getting, i would probably be racing and drifting with it.

what sort of ESC ad what make of motor are you running, and how much do they cost.

Also if i went to fast motors what gears would i need ?

thanks luke

xeliman

that one if for me,try to find from ebay a novak tc2 esc or a tekkin 411,used or not,the will give as much power as you want for race only.as for motor a revolution one will do the job try use the 12x1 high speed version.

TT-01D - Team Atlas Modified Excel 9 Turn - PCLine No Limit ESC - 55T/25T

The motor was (in Aus dollars) $60 and the ESC was $80 and I had it geared for max top speed

I'd want to get a tt-01r and out my neo 3-star in it, and drop a 5700 or 7700 in my evader![X(] nice set-up for sure it'd cook!, im seriously lookin into the tt-01r

Timmahh

yes and no, it will all depend on how your using them. foams in a race are damn near a neccessity.

WoW![X(] WHen i created this thread the only people that used to post was me and bigmik! How it has grown!

I still didnt pick up that pinion and my tt-01 is still in pieces...

rcluke

Thanks for your help guys.

RiCeY where did you get your ESC and Motor from, or where could i get my hands on them, because they sound like amazing value.

thanks a lot Luke

I have read all of this since it started and all the discussion between you and Bigmik was very interesting. I am still waiting for you to GET THAT GEAR........LOL.... I want to hear of YOUR test results. Oh by the way get 2 gears 'cause you may accidently get throttle happy. Good Luck

Thanks
