Well me Focus turned up yesterday bloody quick to. now ordered ali drive shaft,full bearing set.
And thinking another MM 5700.
Have RX and servo's actully differant types.
anything else worth wild?

CrocEnd

infernox well said.
What happens when you run your motor in water is that the Brushs go or wear round to the com.,totally gives the best efficiency of all.
Now if not run in that way (fast run out )[not realy] but over time ) best water run in BE CAREFUL.
Brushed motors are Great.
Long live MM

is the tt 01 an easy car to convert it to drifting and then l8er (that day) change it to a good rally car or will i have to pick one and when i want to change have to do major stuff

thnx

mindwreck

not too difficult. 2 main things are the diff and shocks. for drifting you need it locked or semilocked. rallying on a locked diff probably isn't too bad.
the other thing is swapping out the shocks for drifiting and rally. you will need longer shocks for rallying to get the extra clearance

i was also looking at this one Tamiya Subaru Impreza WRC 2003 TB-02 Kit

would that one be better for drifting and rally then the tt01

is has more things to customize

mindwreck

the tb-02 is a better kit since it comes with upgrades already like ball diff. shocks. BBs. adjustable arms. etc. in essence its sort of a pre-upgraded tt-01.

can the stock electronic speed controller handle a 27t race motor like this one?????

is it worth the money for rally and drifting over the tt01

mindwreck

I would get it. better deal.

mindwreck

if your referring to the 101BK esc. then yes

CrocEnd

I found a esc in a box of all sorts
Would this do for my Ford Focus,Futaba mc330cr has reverse brake ect.,and down to 13t motor,
6 to 7 cells, 200amps forward 100 reverse.

Why isn't my TT-01 fast??!

I have a 12T ESC and a 12T Reedy Flash motor... stock spur gear and a 21T Pinion gear, and a Venom 3000mah pack.

I also have the aluminum drive shaft, full ball bearings and some fairly sticky tires (HPI Vintage wheels/tires to go with my HPI Cuda body)

The thing moves pretty good but its definitely not mind blowing. Is there something wrong? What would be a better gear ratio to try out?

I think this motor should be capable of some pretty riduclous top speeds, right? How much speed should I expect?

Thanks for any suggestions!!

The TT01 is not really made for fast driving. The chassis is a little bit to heavy. When you want to go faster then the standard TT01 you have also to use Bal bearings and an alu cardan as. And some parts for weight saving.

When you want to more Speed you can better bye an TT05R or an TRF415 . These chassis are more made for circuits

mindwreck

car wasn't made to use those kinds of motors. This chassis is more a beginners car or for they're spec type racing. if you want fast, your going to have to put a brushless in it.

here are some suggestions:
1. check the drive train for binding and smoothness
2. new batteries- those venom 3000s aren't very good for such a low turn motor.
3. try putting the stock pinion back on. with a 12t motor might be little overgeared and trying to draw more amps than your battery can supply
4. new car <- my favorite choice

CrocEnd

how about that Futaba speed controler then

mindwreck

the mc330cr is a good esc for its price. it would work fine in a tt-01 if thats what you were asking

Smokescreen38

Thanks for the suggestion...

Which battery would be better than the Venom pack?

I am trying that smaller pinion today!

TIGER76

change the spur/pinion combo if u want more speed (top end) but you will lose some pullaway power.
i went from standard 19/61 gearing to 28/55 combo and the top speed is so much better but running on that 12t its gonna get HOT maybe try a 15t or use a fan on the esc/motor.
And yes the tt-01 suffers at high speed it gets hard to keep straight but thats the fun right?lol

TIGER76

how fast are u hitting smoke?
u should be hitting 30-35mph with that setup?

mindwreck

yeah what kinds of speeds are you hitting. since your prospective of fast could be different from ours.

IB and GP make good batteries. the ib4200 now is a great battery for a reasonable price.

CrocEnd

mindwreck thanx
Just now finished assembly tried inside it is good will go out toa parking lot and try this avo.

I just bought the BMW 320si kit

Which Mambe motor should I drop in

I will be running 6 cell 4200 packs

i730

before you go for speed
get an alloy driveshaft and bearings
if you dont...
driveshaft will wobble hard at those rotating speeds cause damage to your chassis then snap
if it dossnt snap
those plastic bushings will melt

hunter399

I am planning to invest in many aluminum parts

But which motor? the 4600 5700 6900 or 7700 mamba?

Thanks

RCHEAVEN101

Hay Im buying a standard TT01 in a couple of weeks and ive thought alot about it...

If i put a aluminion shaft
ball bearings
19 turn motor
ESC that can handle 15 turns

Would that run ok without killing itself?

or would i need some of those overly complicated pinion gear or spur gear upgrades?


thanks alot.
