HI GUYS,I'D LIKE TO KNOW FOR SURE IF A TT-01 CHASSIS CAN TAKE OTHER BRAND MOTORS(WITH ANOTHER SPEED CONTROL FOR SURE) EXCEPT TAMIYA.

Raguvian

Yes, as long as they're all 540 size motors...

UltraDrifter

I DONT KNOW MUTCH THINGS ABOUT TT-01,SO 540 IS MOTORS SIZE AND NOT ITS POWER,RIGHT?WHAT SPEED CAN RUN WITH A MOTOR DIFFERENT FROM ITS STOCK.DO YOU KNOW BRANDS WITH 540 MOTORS FOR TT-01?HOW SEEMS YOU THE PURCHASE OF TT-01 RTR NISMO COPPERMIX SYLVIA (WITH LEDS FACTORY ASSEMBLED)FOR 245 EUROS (ONLY BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER NOT INCLUDED)

Raguvian

245 Euros seems to be a bit much but what kind of controller and Rx are you getting with it? 540 is motor size, and a bunch of different companies make motors in that size, like Integy, Trinity, Associated, etc.... and you can also get brushless like Mamba or Novak systems. Make sure your ESC will handle it or else it'll get fried.

UltraDrifter

I TOLD YOU IS RTR,TAMIYAS CONTROLLER AND RX,I THINK THE SAME ELECTRINICS AS THE NITRO XBG I HAD 2 YEARS AGO.IS TOO EXPENSIVE YOU THINK?HOW MUCH COSTS IN USA ABOUT?

That's only $125 USD, comes prepainted, and building only takes about 1 hour and is very easy to build.
A nice 2 channel radio, reciever and servo will cost maybe about $100 USD, total about $250 with shipping, etc. It's a lot cheaper than $325 USD (245 Euros).

UltraDrifter

1 USD ISN'T 0,80 EURO I THINK?YOU MADE IT RIGHT?IF YOU ARE RIGHT ITS A BIT DIFFICULT TO BE INTEREST IN RC HERE IN GREECE WITH SUCH PRICES!I AM KEEN ON SUCH PRICES SO WHEN I SURF ON THE WEB ALL PRICES SEEM FAULTS TO ME!

UltraDrifter

THANKS FOR NOW!SEE YA...

Raguvian

I used onlineconversion.com to convert the prices. Just order from Tower, they ship anywhere.

I'm dreaming about warmer weather so I can revive parking lot racing with my brothers. I made the mistake of taking our racing tradition a little too deep into the winter this year and my cars paid a price. It's amazing how much of an impact the weather can have on the durability of these plastic parts! I said that MY cars paid a price because none of my four brothers own their own R/C's, so I am responsible for providing and maintaining the entertainment. I have accumulated four TT-01's and I just love them! Anyhow, I decided that today was the day to piece them back together and get them ready for some more racing/bashing. I also decided that they needed some fresh paint so I just put another coat on them. The paint jobs look so wacky because the new paint only showed up where the old paint had chipped away.

Please take a moment to honor these warriors and the services they faithfully provide.

Raguvian

Wow, those are kinda banged up.
Anyways, i've decided what i want from tower... If only i could convince the parents.

Jesus mate, take caps off if you want more answers.

stewtheman

Do you know my Savior? If not, it would be nice to refrain from taking His name in vain, seriously. The Creator of the Universe deserves a little more respect than that.

I do, however, understand your frustration with the caps lock.

bIGmiK

Haha sorry about the using his name in vein.

Going to a Baptist College I should be more carful, but being an athesist (sp?) I don't really mind, sorry if it offended you though.

I'm not sure how it is in the US, but where I live people don't really mind about using that language.

Nubus

ehh its alright, its okies. next time keep it simple =P as long as we don't flame. or i'll fart. and create the biggest flame you'll ever see [:-]

My gtr TT-01 - Just thought I would post here.

Lots of good stuff

Adjustable arms, shocks, chassis brace, bearings and that stuff.

Raguvian

No one really cares here as far as I know...

In Australia do you run a stock TT-01 class for racing. There is a track here in the US that have been to that does and it is the best racing I have ever seen - Silver can and all. The reason I ask is 2 years ago I was talking to someone from Australia about the TT-01 and he said that they did stock TT-01 racing. I foo-foo'd the idea and thought how lame. Couple on months later my brother and I were racing(my tt-01 vs his tc4) at a track and he liked what he saw. Then I told him the price and then he had to have one. Showed some guys at his track and then they all had one.

The great thing is that you can get into RC for less than 200 with a crappy pack and charger and race. No hopups are allowed other than bearings so kids aren't going broke trying to keep up.

You guys have great ideas down there - keep them up.

Raguvian

I did some WOT launches from a puddle today. I thought the ESC was dead because about 1 minute later the battery started dumping because i haven't charged it in two weeks. That scared me.
Oh, and my wiring job is quite good i think. Water didn't reach the ESC or reciever at all because they're pretty high. Servo, motor and batter got soaked though but i wrapped the battery in saran wrap and that helped a lot.

bIGmiK

My local track use to, but no longer do.

The more common thing is for onroad tracks to run a stock, mod and a 540 class. The 540 class is limited to Tamiya Silver cans or Sports tuned. Quite simular, and only being slower motors the TT-01's can beat the better cars. Also, not all cars can run the tamiya motors, and these are genreally the high class cars that cant.

Hey guys I think im going to get a tt-01 and I was wondoring if this would be a good choice http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHWN0&P=7 I have a radio, receiver and 2 servos already so it seems like a heck of a deal. One other question too why does an electric car need 2 servos?

Edit: O and also I have been told these upgrades are worth having especially if I want to drift it

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXETM7&P=Z

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXBUA9&P=Z

Are those the right ones?

Paulyd

find bearings that are rubber sealed. sorry i cant get a link now.

Raguvian

Yes, those are good upgrades... Electric cars need 1 servo and an ESC, not two servos like nitros.

I concur on the slower stuff. If the speed is not that high - like stock - I found that my TT-01 is quite racey. Not that it is going to win, but I didn't go broke building the car. Also the TT-01 is a great match for the silver can.
