RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
Honstly guys this thread is about the TT-01. Opens thoughts are welcome, but no need to go saying
"a cheap (Exactly, one of the best things about the car), unreliable car (Unreliable? In what way, they drive the same all the time, hardly ever break) that is no good for racing (OK, it's not the best racer.... What do you want for $90?), unless you wand to drift in a big open space (Yes, drifting if fun), where you can't break anything (You havn't owned a TT-01 have you? If you did you would know how hard they are to break)"
And Xeliman, not everyone wants to buy a car to race with. Some people want to spend some extra money and buy special hop-ups to make their car unique to others. And alot of us don't want a car to race... We want something fun to bash around up and down the road with and take off jumps (hahah yes I jumped my TT-01 many times).

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
Thanks for the positive remarks BigMik! I got sick of the trash talk about 3 weeks ago and I used that little red hand at the bottom of the nay-sayers post.
Just like you pointed out, I for one, have no plans on racing. I put the cars together because I think it's fun. I run them up and down my street and will probably some day take them to a track or something but for now I enjoy hopping up the 4 cars that I have and just plain 'playing around'. Nitro, electric, 1:10 or 1:18...it's all fun!
I don't see the point in talking down to other people that have the same hobby as me. I guess that's what happens when you get to be a little older
That old saying that you've heard a million times really is true "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all".

Yeah, I just really get sick of the trask talk.
I think alot of it though it just kids bragging because mummy and daddy has deep pockets.
I don't know how many of you know this because of how much I know about the TT-01 and how I actually type properly and what not. But I'm just 15, and I have a job to pay for the hobby. Parents don't buy me anything (Except for my birthday and xmas). And even then, I generally don't get RC gear as it's something that is for me.
I also ride downhill, race bmx, do 4X, freeride, got dux of my school, visit too many RC forums, browse eBay, and go out with friends
Haha no idea why I told you all that.
TT-01 live long.
Can't wait for the TRFTT-02

Oh and on a side not.
I still don't have a TT-01, but I did order 2x Matched IB3800 packs. They need assembling and deans soldered on. Should be good

Just do alot of reading and you will see what will be best for your type of driving.
Loose the caps lock please as it appears you are shouting and some can get rather upset at it.

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
i dont ' Run into things', i have clean laps, then the uprights just break with no reason,
The front uprights are the bits that go inbetween the front wishbones, the bit that the axel goes through.

They are the knuckles arn't they?
Anyway.... Things just don't break. I never broke one of these, you must be doing something a bit wrong for them to keep breaking. I have never heard of people breaking so many before.
\Maybe you have something assembled wrong?

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
neither can I,
can we just finish this, the TT-01 is a fine cheap car to start with, drifting and racing.
BUT, it is no competition for the Schumachers and Yokomo's.
Who agree's?

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
Hi everyone! I just bought a TB-02, and I was looking at how many people own a TT-01, and now I'm sorta wishing I would have started out with that car!
I've owned 2 Nitro R/C 1/10th scale vehicles- an HPI Nitro RS4/2, and an HPI Nitro MT.. Both were fun, but now that I've got a little one, I don't want the nitro around in the house. I previously owned a TL-01, and liked it, but wanted something better. Anyways, the previous cars were all for parking lot bashing. Now I want to RACE! It seems that with all the TT-01 owners, these things would be huge at the track for silver can (stock) series?
Anyone race your TT-01? If so, what is the class you race in like?

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
At my local track there is a class called "540". In this class you can run the Silver can tamiya motors, or the Tamya sports tuned motors. Both have closed end-bells so you can't relaly maintain them, but they are so cheap.
The "stock" class means 27turns fixed timing (or is is it 24degree?) motors. And THESE THINGS FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!
