how much will you sell that car for[8D]

nis300zx

Its off the ground and didn't have the tires installed yet. I tested run it last night and its great with half charged battery. But why is it when I turn one wheel on my old TT-01xb, it rotates more freely compare to my tt-01d?

mindwreck

could be a few things. bearings, tighteness of the diff, grease on gears... anything attached to the wheels or axles can effect how freely they spin

nis300zx

Thanks.
Im going to check those later. What kind of grease should I put inside the diff, or I just leave it like it is right now. The car drifts fine, considering the diff is not too loose and "locked" a lil bit?

mindwreck

well if you drift and you like it, why change it? I have brushless power in mine and i like power sliding occasionally so my diffs are full of heavy grease.

£20 sounds expensive for a heatsink/fan, i know some people slate 3Racing, but for £3 you cant go wrong!

3racing makes good quality hop-ups. my friend, aka "nubus", has one. worked really well until he flipped his car into rocks and banged up some of the fins on his fan. easy fix with a computer fan

rcmart is a great place to get one. cheap and plenty of selection! lots of tt-01 hop-ups too.

my aluminium steering set came today, i didnt realise what an improvement it would make. much faster and smoother turning now.

wow haven't seen this thread in a long time. I'm assuming i answered everything and no one needs help on their tt-01s anymore?

i need to know what upgrades i should get for my silvia to drift.i spent a total of around 430 for my rc car.i dun think its worth it. i got a radio,car bat charger aluminum shaft ball bearings drift tires and getting drift ing rimms. what else do i need to get for it to drift well?

How good of a rally car would a TT-01 be? I'm looking for a touring car that I can drift and use on baseball diamonds and other stuff like that.

mindwreck

wow that is quite a lot to spend on a tt-01. how did you spend so much and which kit did you get? theres a tt-01 and a tt-01D version. i don't think i've spent more than 200 on mine yet. but then again i already have the batteires and radio stuff.

Anyways depending on your surface, oil shocks are a great upgrade. If you have teh tt-01 kit, get them they will help. I drive on bumby as asphalt and with the standard shocks the car uses to bob and hop around since it had nothign to dampen the bumbs. If you have the tt-01D kit, your car already has them.

best way to drift well is practice, practice, practice. not to hard, you should get the hang of it quickly with some good throttle control and sensitive steering

mindwreck

tt-01 is a good cheap car to convert to rally. requires longer shocks for more clearance a couple of easy cuts into the bottom bumper plates to allow for more suspension travel. You will also need to encase the innards of the car or seal the draintrain at least.

first time i ran my tt-01 was on baseball diamond. the clay and sand somehow got into the gearbox and missed the gears pretty bad. once i sealed it with silicone or something similar it drove pretty well.

some rally tires would help too

Won and payed for from ebay this $98 au landed here.

Cheer's

Frozen72

OK I will deffently save up for one now I just have to finish my Vendetta ST project first.

mindwreck

damn sweet focus RS keep us posted on the build. I want to see that body after the paint. 98AU is pretty nice price too. I paid around 110USD for mine, except mine included the finished fxx body.

CrocEnd

wonder if the head lights will be recessed or just stickers

mindwreck

pretty sure they're just stickers. most bodies don't have real light wells. I wish they did...

sanshu

yokomo bodies do have some lights buckets, but you have to look for the ones that come whit it.

sanshu

well tamiya also have some bodies whit lights. i bought recently an rx-7 that come whit a led light kit!!!

Livebox

I find the RX7 a very nice body The Tamiya coppermix also has Light buckets

This is my RX7

mindwreck

someone already stole your wheels. never park a rx7 on the street!. nice car, my friend wanted that kit.

Livebox

haha yes I know the wheels are missing. I just cleaned the TA05R after a long day on the circuit. Also did some laps with the TT01D.

studysession

I have one:


Run an MTroniks Genesis ESC and a Hacker C40 6T motor in it. Just use it for bashing and drifting around back of my house.
