Anyone out here put a 550 motor in a TT01? I am just thinking about a project for the winter

do it...and let us know...
I was do that with my slash motor on my TB-01, but not satisfied...(probably some other problems too)[:-]

Some people have had issues with the shaft being too long (somewhat of an easy fix) and some have had them be a bit too long for the chassis (maybe not so easy to fix)

you can shave it shorter with some sort of tool if its to long but remember you need some of the flat bit to screw the pinion on

I put a traxxas 12t motor in 1 of mying i just had to cut the shaft down a bit and it was a tight fit but it worked good. Here is a pic

I just bought the tt-01 and am looking at the same thing..... It looks like the Mamba monster 1/10 5400 will drop right in.. (according to spec regaurding motor dimensions.) Also I'm thinking that the alum. drive shaft is a must. And probably ball bearings in place of the plastic. Am I on the right track? Is there anything else to worry about?

P.S. Don't mean to take over this tread.... Just putting out my findings as well...

The FIRST thing you want is ball bearings, before anything else...

Yeah, that's what I thought when I was putting together the kit.......... PLASTIC BEARINGS??? Also, is re-gearing going to be needed with a (much) quicker motor? I don't like that motor mouinting set up either. wondering if there are differant options, a mount that lets you mesh the gears yourself.

I thought when i put the 550 motor it was alot snappier. and 100 times better than stock.

But on another note i will be building a new tt01 ewith all the upgrades.Here some that i bought yesterday can't wait for the rest of my parts to come in.
