Thanks for the sensitivity. I don't play the offended card. I didn't post because I was offended but really out of concern for you and anyone else who may carelessly throw around the name of God like that. The bottom line is that most people really don't mind that language, but that doesn't change the fact that, whether you believe in God or not, everyone is going to stand before a completely holy God after they die and give an account for every foolish thing they did and every careless word that came out of their mouths. My goal is not to hijack this thread and get "religious" but to simply take opportunities as they come to share the bitter truth with those who may not know it. When each of us dies the ONLY thing that will matter is what decision we made about Jesus. I'm not religious, but I do have a relationship with God and that is what He desires for everyone so I encourage you to give it some serious thought. It's a matter of life and death and deserves to steal a little time away from your TT-01.

I'm all about stock racing with my TT-01's that my brothers and I race. I put some 17T's in them for a little while and it just wasn't the same. I definitely agree that the TT-01 is a perfect match for the silver can!

never really liked teh silver can. Its just too slow for me. My friends used it to learn since they're new but they it was too slow even for them. The extra speed makes the race much more fun. I say the motor you use is dependent on your skill.

Well, our "race track" is the library parking lot and includes such obstacles as a concrete pole, a metal bike rack and a side walk. The goal is to go around the pole, up a ramp onto the sidewalk and around the bike rack, but often times the cars slam into any of those three objects that do not move...AT ALL. I guess what I'm saying is that for our track, slower is definitely better. The penalty for failure with a faster car on our course is just too great.

Ya i was a little confused because the tower page says that the car I posted needs 2 servos

I stuck my 4600 mamba and 3s2p lipo in my tt-01 and it ran OK. But whenever I hit the throttle too far it would start sliding and then flip. Then I broke a dogbone.

wat i've seen people do is put small weights if yur gunna go super fast, or work on the throttle slowly up to max speed.

I am trying to figure out if i need a 32P or 48P with my Tamiya spur gear set (55T/58T) for a TT01? Help???

mindwreck

you need metric 48 pinion. tower has the tamiya ones or the robinson racing ones

I'm quite new to racing and have a TT-01. recently upgraded to a 21T modified motor which is running fine (& quick) using the standard TEU-101BK. I'm told I should upgrade this too! Anyone have advice as to what I should use?

The stock speedo should be fine for just starting out.

Guys today i had my first run with my new tt-01 silvia and i was dissapointed because that car is insanly S-L-O-W.What i can do to make it faster?I think that my choise between tt-01 and hpi sprint 2 wasn't good because i'll need money to make it fast .Such money as sprint 2 rtr costs.

mindwreck

are you using the stock silver motor? it isn't that slow. just get a new motor and gears if you want more speed

lee172

how about a Mamba Max (5700kv) for just over £100, including shipping..

seth556

My Feedback: (3)

The mamba will tear up the spur gear and the drive shafts. Or atleast that whats happened to me.

lee172

there's a lot of adjustability with the Mamba, so if you set the power to ramp up slowly from start, you'll get minimum wheelspin and hopefully less drivetrain damage, in theory..

mindwreck

mine ran pretty well. did it for fun and it didn't damage anything. the aluminum center shaft is a must for motors lower than like 19T. the stock shaft really starts to bend and slap around if you run the faster motors

My first TT-01 used 2 servos, It had a Mechanical speed controler. They are still selling new TT-01s with Mechanicals... Just make sure you get a ESC in yours..

seth556

My Feedback: (3)

I had my Mamba set at a punch for low traction stuff so it had accelerated slower, the motor timing at low, and the start power at low. I could still hit the throttle and the wheels would spin to where they are completely ballooned. Then I ended up tearing up my tires (no joke) and breaking the spur gear. That was after breaking a front drive shaft.

its done,, all the mods possible,,well almost,, but its as many mods as i wana go on this car. probly about every alum part possible, that ive found. i did not want the sway bars, or the mid CF part. so this is it, its done, all complete with 15T Reedy flash motor, Novac ESC, full bearings ETC ETC.... not bad,, and its pretty fast...[>:]

enjoy the pics...

Raguvian

Lovely TT-01.
I"m going to order bearings and a 12T motor soon, along with other upgrades... Mine will be faster.

Raguvian

Still won't have any Deans though.[:@]

qwksti

no matter how fast you are ,, someone always faster... [&o]

Raguvian

LOL, yeah...
And even if my was faster, it'd still not look as nice and wouldn't handle as well either.
I wonder if i get any stickerz with the Trinity motor i will order someday...

mindwreck

wow. i just did my fastest build ever. Finished my friends tt-01 kit from start to RTR in 3 hours.

Nice car patrick. I wanted all those hop-ups but then i want to race in TCS and only tamiya hop-ups are allowed.[:'(]

Im coming home to LA in a few weeks for spring break. we should get together with nubus and some of the others.
