Tamiya TT-01 Racing

[V-one R Finland]

Just today got my Adjustable upper links and 2degree rear toe uprights. The rear upper links have spots to attach a stabilizer bar.

[nick350z]

the other are also bad graphic:confused:
i will have too fix it!

[nick350z]

holy smokes!!:D

i am liking that a lot!!!

are those tamiya modified dogbones?(rear) that makes it's camber ajustible right.

WOW

Nick:p

[dave56bug]

The machine work is very nice, but the front end compnents require some tweaking to get proper movement, I am replacing the front upper arms with the adjustable upper arm kit from Tamiya. That will take away some bling, but the added adjustability will be awesome.


The adjustable rear upper arms i created using parts from my junk pile, you can make the same thing with some screws/nuts and turnbuckles....

I'll post links to TowerHobbies parts for doing similar.

Dave.

[dave56bug]

Turbo, your car looks great! I dig the carbon hood!

Nick, Those Nissans are cool, could you take a pic from the side?

Dave.

[turbo s15]

hey thanks


im so digging the blue anodized stuff. How much heavier is it.


notice and changes in performance


keep it looking good;)

[TRF Drive Hard]

Freakin sweet dave!;) welcome to the tuner club:D

[nick350z]

thanks man, i really like my shell as well:) ja i will try to get some pics of the side but can't promise that the graphics will be any good.

here's a pic. still quite basic

Nick:p

[turbo s15]

hey guys can i use the 39mm aluminum swing shaft with the axles and cross joints universal.

would they work on the tt-01

please help.

[TRF Drive Hard]

I dont think so... those tt01 shafts are monster lookin... especially the gpm ti universals... have you made an accurate measurement of the axle and shaft?

[nick350z]

hey guys

i have been looking everywhere for alu tt01 drive shafts but it seems as if there is nothing of the sort:(

Nick

[turbo s15]

do u mean the aluminum center shaft or the aluminum dog bones

[dave56bug]

You mean these?

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3177812418&category=44022

Dave

[nick350z]

yip those are them! pretty nice hey? they are similar to those just that they are a bit different. heres a pic of them.

i would also like to know which bateries you guys recomend, i have currently got a 2100 but need a new one. do you suggest a long life battery or a 1900 or something?

Nick:p ;)

[dave56bug]

Battery? I recommend Sanyo 2400's Nicd, or GP 3300's Nimh, if you have a good charger.

Dave.

[dookie320]

Hi everyone!

This is my first post and i am glad i found this site! I am the proud owner of a stock xb pro subaru. This is my first rc car and I am a bit regretful because I should have bought a kit instead of a RTR because I have been reading these posts and have no clue what you guys are talking about :o. what are some required mods that I should start off with? can i only used tamiya made parts because they seem to be pretty few. anyway, thats enough quesitons for now. here are some pics

[nick350z]

hey guys, i have downloaded the tc requirements. they say that you can only have turnbuckles, gears oil shocks and only a 2000 battery:(

dookie320 it looks like you've done a good job on the shell:cool:

here is a side pic(dave)

Nick:p

[nick350z]

and another.

:p

[dave56bug]

Welcome Dookie!

The only parts i think the TT-01 absolutely NEEDS, are bearings, and aluminum center driveshaft.

Other things that are a really good idea, are oil shocks, (dont have to be aluminum)
metal motor mount, motor heatsink, and turnbuckle front steering links. (adjustable toe in and a lot less slop).

Dave.

[dookie320]

Thanks for the welcome folks!

Yes, I want to replace the drive shaft, it looked brittle to me. I want to upgrade the motor but I would like to know what turn motor the stock ESC supports. im at work so i cant really look at it right now but my mind is on RC =). as for other parts, are there other manufacturers that make parts for the TT-01 or are we only limited to what tamiya has to offer?

[nick350z]

man i have got the price for the bearing set and it's over 400 rand! that's quite a hefty amount.

tell me turbo, do you race in the tamiya cup or do you just post your pics there?

i would also like to know what single, double or triple means when refering to motors eg: 13 triple?? is a 11 turn super modified tamiya motor any good?

i have not raced for over two weeks because it's been continual rain! do you think you could give me a price for a novak rooster? i need to see if it's cheaper in the states or here in south africa:)

Nick:p

[dave56bug]

Heh, 11 turn motor will go incredibly fast! spin the tires, drain your battery lots of fun!

I recommend a 15turn or 17turn or so, the car will still go very fast, yet runtime is still decent.

The turn has to do with the amount of wire wrapped around the armature, for example, 15 turn triple has, three thin wires wrapped around each pole of the armature, 15 times.

A 15 turn single has one strand of wire wrapped around the armature 15 times.

The triple will spin faster, because the magnetic field of the three wires is different than that of a single wire.

Anything more than a stock motor, and the stock driveshaft will vibrate like crazy, so get the aluminum one first.


I am not sure what the XB Tamiya's esc
can handle, maybe 19turn or something.
Dave.

[grimlock3000]

Do I need the aluminium prop shaft with a 27 turn Fantom stock motor? I have not run the car yet, I have oil shocks and full bearings...

[TRF Drive Hard]

You'll have less rotating mass compared to the stock shaft... which in fact would be good for that stock motor...;)

[nick350z]

hey thanks, i didn't get the XB, i brought mine as a kit.

my hop-ups include:

Alu center drive shaft
Ball diff (front)
Spur gears (58t)
Pinion gears (24t)
CVA mini shocks
Turnbuckles
Set of springs (soft to extra stiff)
Metal motor mount
EZX-R esc (takes up to a 21 turn motor)

once i have got a new esc i will decide on a motor. (i was thinking about getting a novak rooster???)

hey dave how's your tb02 coming along there?:cool: ?

Nick:p

[fabolousRC]

hmmm TT01...

I think I want to wait till that Off Road Gravel Hound comes out.

But...

$149.99 for Impreza WRC 2003 XB Pro doesn't sound too bad...does it?

[nick350z]

does anyone have any information about tamiya cup? what hop-ups are you allowed?

Nick:p

[nick350z]

got a GP 3300mah battery today:D

Nick:p

[turbo s15]

sweet bro


im thinking of droping a 13 or a 12 motor in my ride. Im having so many prob with the 14t. Ive spent more money trying to fix it then i could have just bought a new motor.


ive done everything.

[nick350z]

please could you recomend a esc with about an 11 turn limit and quite a good price.

thanks.

Nick:p

[TRF Drive Hard]

11t esc will cost you more than 70 bucks... so how much you willing to spend?

[turbo s15]

duratrax intellspeed 8t reversible for 70 bucks might be ur best bet.

look for something light also

[TRF Drive Hard]

Originally posted by turbo s15

That esc actually fits the bill;)

[nick350z]

thanks, is that 70 bucks in usa dollars or in canadian dollars?

that'll work out about 450-500 rand!! that is a brilliant amount for an 8t motor limit hey!! now duratrax is a good make?

now i will have to find a distributor here or just wait till i come up to the states at the end of the year. it'll cost too much to ship here from the states.

thanks a million:)

Nick:p

[turbo s15]

hey no prob man. That what were here for. Do u kneed a pic of the esc to give u an idea.

Its 70 dollars in u.s money.

personally i never used duratrax electronics but i heard that they are very simple and durable.;)

[nick350z]

no thanks i got a pic:)

you know the holes above the spur/pinion gear? i said that they were stripped? i went over a bump and out they popped, (without me knowing) next i applied full throttle and it made the most high pitched whine i have ever heard! when i investigated i saw that the cover had come off and the mesh wasn't right, but no damage, just a fright.:eek:

i went to watch tamiya cup on Sunday, it was brilliant but some idiots just go and bash people around.:confused:

i still saving for the esc, you must remember that i only get 20 rand ($2.5)a week because of the fact that i am 14 years old.:(

Nick:p

[nick350z]

hey guys i just brought an alu motor heat sink and a fancy steering servo:)

[alex14]

how fast do u guys think i can push this car with a peak performance jaguar 13x2 motor and a trinity 3300 non-mached bateries

[turbo s15]

u could see about 45-50 tops with all the stuff needed to hit that speed. ball bearings, aluminum shaft, tuned gears ect.


:cool:


im dumping a 13 turn triple today:)

[mjohnston39]

New TT-01 parts

58694 TT-01 front stabilizer
58694 TT-01 rear stabilizer

Mike.

[cheechthechi]

Now all we need are universals.....:D

[sosak]

where can i get it?

[alex14]

yeah thats what i was wondering i looked on tower but did not find anything and cant seem to find any info on the parts on tamiyas website when i looka at the parts list the part nuber does not go to the tt-01 chasis so i need some help
Where can you get it

[turbo s15]

umm it hasnt been released yet;)

it will be out late april:rolleyes:

[turtle4288]

Whats the lowest ride height anyone has raced?

[TRF Drive Hard]

3mm on asphault... and i was not scrapping...

[turtle4288]

and what do you need to change to do that....do you still have plenty of shock travel?

[TRF Drive Hard]

Somewhat medium shock travel but i use ultra hard springs...

[turtle4288]

what shocks is this with

what else should i adjust

i cant get it below 10mm on mine!!

[TRF Drive Hard]

You mean for the tt01? i personally dont have one yet... spent $1000 on 2 trf415 kits... i use the trf shocks... i add a few o-rings inside to help lower the ride height...

[turtle4288]

well i dont think its the same.....i really struggle to get it below 10mm without losing lots of shock travel

can anyone else suggest anything?

[TRF Drive Hard]

In any case... lowering your ride height will result in limited shock travel...

[TRF Drive Hard]

btw, do you have oil filled shocks?

[turtle4288]

yes

tamiya mini cva shocks

but i want my ride height at 4mm!!!! like a tc3!!!
is this possible without having no shock movement?

[SteveK]

That shouldn't be too hard to accomplish. First of all, find something that is the same thickness as your desired ride height, you'll put this under the chassis to let the car rest on it. I use some 2" x 10" x ~1mm strips of balsa from some bulk pack I bought a long time ago, and I just stack them as necessary.

Take off the shocks and rest it on this stand, and them measure the distance from the upper shock mounting hole to the lower hole. Then measure the distance between the upper and lower mounting holes on your shocks, and subtract the chassis measurement from that. The result is the approximate thickness of the spacers you will need to add to the shock shaft, below the piston inside the body.

To fine-tune the ride-height, build the shocks without oil, and even some older (But clean!) seals, so you can take it apart a few times if you need to. This is where some screw-on shock ends really come in handy: If the shocks use that typical brass pivot ball, then Tamiya makes some ones that can be mounted with screws that should work (Both kinds are found in the TL01 adjustable upper arm kit, if anybody has one and can verify that for me).

[turbo s15]

hey i need someones help.

while rebuliding my ball diff i lost one of the diff balls.

im trying to look for a replacement of tower hobbies.

their 3mm balls i think


any links on tower possible.


p.s does anyone use camber on the rear of there tt-01


thanks guys

[TRF Drive Hard]

Yes they are 3mm...;)

[TRF Drive Hard]

Strangely they are not on TH...

[turbo s15]

so does anyone know where to get some. theres a bunch on tower but they say 1/8:confused:

[alex14]

what should i geAR a 13x2 peakperformace jaguar and will a metal motormount help with striping the spur gear

[turbo s15]

im using the exact set-up u want

i just got a speed gems pro kobal 13x2 using 24t pinion with 58 spur. man that thing is a rocket:D

id say about 45


and the accelration is incredible


try it out

p.s i use the metal motor mount and it works great;)

[alex14]

ok thanks but i will have to wait and get some money from somewhere like ebay but i dont think it is gonna happed cause noone has bid on my auction.
On the other hand when is someone gonna think of some chemical that smokes or burns under the slightest tire slipage so u can smoke your tires in an rc
plewase somone try it someone that is in collage/graduate as a chemist please put in some time and try and figure this out cause i was thinking like some lighterfluit and pvc on you tires with alumunum part so the arms dont melt and set the pvc on fire then drive till it goes out:D :D

[alex14]

heres a tire smokin thread
go to rcdrift.com go to forum and drift and find the tire smoking thread BY TJE WAY IS THIS FORUM DEAD OR WHAT post some pictures some fun stuff:mad:

[turbo s15]

hey i just was about to post this thread about rcd... did u see the vid ..


i was thinking the same:rolleyes: is this thread dead.

i havent posted much cause my car is sick:(


:p

[alex14]

Yeah i did see the video if you are talking about the one where the guy puts 16cell on a novak brushless:D and burns up his tires then there is holes in the groung made from the tires. My car is sick too:(

[GA Maxx]

Just ordered my subaru Imprezza TT-01 With the following Options:

TT-01 Aluminium Motor Heat Sink
TT-01 Metal Motor Mount
TT-01 Turnbuckle Tie-Rod Set
TT-01 Aluminium Propellor Shaft
TT-01 Ball Bearing kit.

Icve got an Mx3 Radio to put in it, I have 3 speedos and 3 motors too choose from lyingaround my pit box. Also gota Novak Brushless SS System, in my stampede at the moment, so could give that a go. Will be running Matched GP3300's I think. I'm ordering my new charger (Novak Millenium Pro) in about 2 weeks too.

I used to race electric tourers, But sold up and quit to buy a Brushless super maxx (full aluminium UE maxx, $2500 worth) And my Brushless Stampede. Just sold my Savage and a my 1:8th nitro buggy so Had some money to play around with Cant remember last time i built a kit. cant wait to terrorize the parking lots :)

What size pinion for a 27 Turn stock motor would you recomend?

[nick350z]

Hey man, welcome to the TT01 forum.

guys, i just got the ajustable upper arm set, Novak millenium charger, two Sanyo 1700mah batteries, a LRP Ni-cd discharger and a LRP micro NiMH cherger!

now i've built up my stocks! 6 batteries in all.

lots of people told me not to run a 55t with a 25t but i installed it and it runs absolutely fine. no drag on the corners or anything.

went to Tamiya Cup on Sunday, i was due to race against the ta-04's, tb-02's, tb-01's, ta-03's and the tl-01's, but unfortunately it was rained out:(

this thread has been a bit quiet lately:confused:

everyone, , try post pics!:D

Nick:p

[dave56bug]

Hey guys i havent posted in ages, i'll get some pics for tomorrow, i've been working on other projects lately.



Dave,

[GA Maxx]

Right heres a list of what I Want for my TT-01:

53497 Tamiya Bearing Kit
53620 Tamiya Aluminium drive shaft
53666 Tamiya Metal Motor Mount
53664 Tamiya Aluminium Motor Heat Sink
53662 Tamiya Turnbuckle Toe-In Links

51007 Tamiya Aluminium bumper holder

Ive got some of it. My main concern is the gearing. I will run a 27 tooth to begin with, then probably a 12x2 orsomething along those lines

I really need to know hwo to gear a 27 turn tho

[turbo s15]

cool welcome.


ur almost done now u just need a front-way, ball diff and trf shocks


as for the gearing im using a 13 turn with the 58t spur and 24t pinion.


a 27t pinion wont work with the spur gear set.

19-25 is the only combo i know of;)

[GA Maxx]

hi thanks. Im not getting a ball diff or a one way, as I probably wont race.

sorry for been impatient but I need to know how to gear a 27 turn motor

Has any of you TT-01ers got MSn messenger?

[turbo s15]

oh i thought u mean i 27 pinion

silly me


i would go for a 22 or 23 pinon with the 58 tooth spur


good torque and rpm.

[GA Maxx]

thanks, what is the stock gearing?

[turbo s15]

19 pinion
61 spur

[GA Maxx]

thanks :)

[m3guru]

What do you guys think about the relrelease of the Schnitzer Bmw M3? The tt01 will replace the old ta01 it had.

Some info here (http://www.tamiyaetc.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5).

Pretty cool I think.:)

[GA Maxx]

I HATE that shell, I'm an M3 Fan, but only of the E46 M3. I would love Tamiya to release a BMW M3 CSL body.

[Manny]

Has anyone tried putting the standard tamiya dogbone setup on their tt01? I'm talking about the metal dogbones that come with the tb01, tl01 or the ta04?

I haven't heard of any problems with the plastic dogbones but the metal ones wouldn't hurt if you're running a more powerful motor.

The only trick is to replace the differential bevel gears with the ones with a spline (vs square) hole for the metal oudrive cup. Other than that, the dogbones are the perfect length and the wheel axles fit right into the uprights and steering knuckles.

If you're looking for a bit more durability and you have the parts lying around you might want to try this. And you can fit tamiya univerals too.

[GA Maxx]

I'm pretty sure the TT-01 ones aer ALOT shorter than those of the TL01

[Manny]

The axles and outdrives are shorter to make up for the longer dogbones.

[GA Maxx]

im looking at getting the blue aluminium servo bell cranks, I was wondering if anyone noticed a performance increase with them?

[Bourne Again]

Rest In Peace Possum

[GA Maxx]

WOW that looks cool in white

[turbo s15]

cool same color as mine

nice looking man :cool:

[Tamiya4ever]

Looking good. I can't wait to get my TT01-RTR :p

[Bourne Again]

[GA Maxx]

Looks cool in that pic, very realistic, congratulations, I hope mien ariives in the next 8 hours

[GA Maxx]

Well it came today, And as promised heres Review:

Now I am what I would say as an "Experienced R/Cer" I haev had many touringcars from budget TL-01's to TC3's.

I recieved my TT-01 from apex models this morning at 11:30am. I got up and had a look at it all. I noticed that the box had been crushed which had ripped the tt-01 box, which had gone through and damaged the body shell, and the bodyshell componanys ie the wing :( I phoned Apex and they couldn't have been more helpful and are sorting me out a replacement. anyway, feeling quite disihearted, I also found that some of the "hop-Up" parts i ordered were out of stock :(. Anyway enough of teh bad news. I read the instruction manual prior to starting, Tamiyas Instruction books set the standard, If your producing instruction manuals as good as tamiya, your doing very very well indeed. This TT-01 manual is no exception. Very clear, very easy to understand. I began building, and it was going together very well. The build quality is awesome, if feels like you can just push it altogetehr and not worry about screws. The car was very easy to build indeed. ANYONE on this forum could build it, took me a little over 2 hours. For an £85 the quality of the plastic is awesome, it goes together well, all fits nicely, no sanding required. The shocks are pretty poor, friction shocks, yet worse than the ones on the Tamiya TL-01. The shocks however do work, their spring tention is just right, and I think i managed to build all 4 shocks in under 2 minutes! No screws just click in. I'm probably going to order some TRF aluminium shocks later, but they are £50! I especially like the A-arms, its almost like a non adjustable pivot-ball set up seen on the high end models. Its a very chunky plastic that looks very durable. Adjustable Arms are available as a "Tamiya Option Part" To anyone buying one, i recomend you buy the blue propellor shaft, stock one is plastic and doesnt look too strong, however mine was out of stock :( If you are using slowish motors you will be fine. I put together the car leaving out the motor, which they tell you to put in in step 3. I wanted to see how smooth the car was, and I'll be honest, I was suprised. Ok its not going to give the TC3 a run for its money, but it was very smooth. When the motor is in and meshed, its not exactly smooth, but this was a very stiff motor. all in all, I think a worthy addition to my Collection. Would recomend it to anyone wanting a cheap run-around, or maybe even low level racing

Good Points:
Cheap
Tamiya Build Quality
Great Instructions
Stunning bodyshell
Easy to build
Durable

Bad Points
Shocks
Stock plastic motor mount and Prop shaft looks like it wont last very long however hop up ones are available for about £13 for both.
Not very adjustable (doesnt matter really To be honest)
Limited Gearing Options.

Pretty nice! to bad about the box being crushed... looks great though!

[turbo s15]

man i still wish mine was that clean... good lookin man :cool:

[TRF Drive Hard]

Did yours come dirty? :p

[GA Maxx]

I am VERY impressed with this, much better than I expeced, So i have decided to pupm some money in it, TRF shocks, Blue Steering kit, Blue bumper brace, Blue battery bar, new ESC and new Motor. I am waiting on a steering part A8 on the "A Parts tree" Should coem on Friday with my blue propshaft, and turnbuckle kit. I will send the body back today hopefully get her good as new by friday which is payday, so maybe an order from Tower ;)

[nick350z]

hullo guys

brought the ajustable upper arm set and the metal bearings.

for the tamiya cup you need 1700 and 2000 batteries right, well i got two 2000's and seven 1700's all for half price! :D now i've got over 11 batteries.

i haven't been racing much execpt for TC and i raced against ta04, ta03, tb02, tb01, tl01 and i'm the only tt01 :) Came 5th

[TRF Drive Hard]

Sweet news nick... goodluck in the future race... hope you come 1st ;)

[GA Maxx]

are you fed up of people calling your TT-01 slow? Bring on your X-ray's, TC3's, Pro 4's Yokomo SG's etc etc, Cause I'm here :cool:

http://hpiforums.com/files/dsc00123.jpg

http://hpiforums.com/files/dsc00122.jpg


Thats a Novak Brushless 5800 System, a bit too fast and too powerful tbh, I can here the spur struggling a bit lol

[turbo s15]

hey nice set-up..... do u have ball bearings? how fast we talking ;) i have a 13t motor and i get mine around 40-45.... how does everything fit in there. is it nice and snug... u sure have put alot of money into it in such a short time..... when ur driving it does it hop alot with those friction shocks?



sweet bro ;)

[TRF Drive Hard]

Hehe... brushless in a tt01... thats awesome... :p

[GA Maxx]

sweet bro ;)

I doubt 45 with a 13 turn, Id say with the brushless she only does about 40mph, Its geard with 19 tooth pinion and stock spur, I have ball bearings. I'm ordereing the TRF Shocks for tower hobbies for $61 later today. I couldnt really gether to fullspeed as I dont think all my electrics like been neighbours and it glitches. Everything fits ok, but i Wouldnt say the motor is in tight as I'd like.

I have spent quite a bit, But I had the brushless and XXL and Battereis in my pit box. I'mgoing to do furtehr testing today, If its too much, Maybe run it on 5 cells.

[turbo s15]

did i mention i was running 25 pinion and 55 spur and 13t triple with advanced timing a little.... ;)

thats good for 40-45

[turbo s15]

hey have u seen my tt-01... ull love the trf shocks. i payed the same and i got the blue ones. which color did u get. the red looks hot

[TRF Drive Hard]

The red is nice but not with the other blue options... had tamiya made red parts for the tt01 then ya it would look nice, just like the surikarn :cool:

[fabolousRC]

did i mention i was running 25 pinion and 55 spur and 13t triple with advanced timing a little.... ;)

thats good for 40-45

Do you have a confirm speed guy picture of it? TT01 is not what you called a high end lightweight speed machine so I would not say that the car will go that fast even with a 13t triple and a slight advance timing.

Take about 10-15mph out of your estimate then it would be more reasonable.

[GA Maxx]

mine are blue. I rekon ith your set up, if you are using the best batteries u can find, you wont hit 40! You need to get a speed check. Trust me 40mph in a 1:10th car looks like 60!

I ordered blue shocks

[nick350z]

just a picture of my inside, haven't got a pic with my upper arm set yet

[turbo s15]

welll jus to let u guys out there know i lived on a military base where cops are always around where i drive my car and i asked if he could clock it for me.. using all my set-ups with 24mm tires and everything else, he clocked it at 42.32 mph. he could't belive it for a electric but then i made an another attempt to prove him wrong and i got 41.89mph... next time ill go around and take a pic of the radar gun with the speed.. 40mph is not that hard to achive if u know what ur doing.. the tt-01 is very capable of hit 40 easily if u know what to do and what to use. ;)

maybe u should try using this a set-up like mine and ull see what i mean :cool:

[GA Maxx]

not that I'm a non-believer, but could you get some picture proof :)

Also anyoenknwo where i can get those BLUE TRF shocks offebay? Tower dont axxept bank cards, just visa, and my dads is up to limit at moment (just bought a Porsche 911 :D)

Manny, Xtreme Pro 3 -

I did some research on this... the TB01 diffs appear to be the same as TT01 with the exception of having metal ring gears. Perhaps one could use this diff, and its mathing outdrives, and some axles from TB01 as well...

Also - has anyone tried mounting using an extra set of rear lower arms in the front with some other upright and spindle? Or how about front suspension in the rear, mountind additional rods for rear toe in adjustment????

Any ideas??

[reptile]

4 TT-01 cars for racing in parking lots with my buddies mainly runing them with stock out of box set ups........Will these be a blast to run???
then as time goes by in the future adding shocks and maybe a 27 turn stock motor would be what we most likly will do.
will these be a good choice for us??
I have a TC3 and love it but it costs a lot more...
Thanks

Hey i got a TT-01 RTR kit and ive had my fun with the stock setup but i want to give her alittle more guts... anyone got an idea motor/speed controler, gears, weight reduction?

a very cheap motor that is worth the price tag is this (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBHE9&P=7) or u could get a lenher BL system :p if u have the money it would be like $400 but i recomend the Jaguar by the way what kind if esc do u have i have also been thinking bout weight reduction if they dont come out with a cheap carbonfiber chassis in a couple of months fists il try some dremeling if that dont work i will buy some carbon fiber and cut out the whole bottom part of the tub chassis and bolt on a carbon fiber base with some 90 degree angle thngies to the side wal or botl it on the tranny somehow with no sides

[reptile]

Yea bearings are a must on my list... Thanks for all the input guy's!

[Rob TT-01]

Hey thanks for the input about the motor *Alex14*, now another question... in case your wondering, (yeah im kinda of a moron when it comes to R/C's, slowly learning) But ummm am i gonna need to get a new speed controller for the motor or is it not that big of a step? and yeah thanks *FabolousRC* for underlining the bearings part, lol they helped abit and my batteries do last alittle longer... :D

Alex14 you could try to cut the bottom of the tub out but you must remeber that once you alter the frame your gonna mess with the stability of the tub and also keep in mind the fact that if you hit some thign (GOD FORBID) it might mean more work later on, so if your gonna cut stuff keep in mind that everything is there for a reason... :S i know that kinda sucks but its the truth... im not a pro or anything but i do work at a garage as a mechanice and recomend if your gonna be cutting things keep a basic frame and make sure its reinforced. Keep me updated on your progress and if it workes out for you i might try something like what you do :D swap ideas you know?

Hey guys, i just bid on the XB rtr 2003 wrx TT-01.
im just wonderin, do those 11t tamiya motors fit on this car?
i also purchased a bunch of hop-ups:
Tamiya Metal Motor Mount
Tamiya Aluminum drive shaft
Tamiya Aluminum Motor Heat Sink
Tamiya Graphite Top brace (CF)
Tamiya Alumim Bumper Stopper
Tamiya Front One way unit
and Bearing Kit from ebay (16pc)

goin to check out the Spur gear kits and the 22T-25T Pinion Gear set.

if im goin to swap the motor, are the gear kits a requirement?

im still a bit confused about which shock and spring i should be using after reading the forum again and again, i might be doin some off-road driving... can anyone please give me an advise?

[alex14]

Rob TT-01 u will defenetly need a new speed controler (esc) if u still have the one that came with the kit but anyway a good esc for an onroad car is this (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXAXU0&P=7)

First of all TT01 is not really made for offroading. The chassis is too open for any type of off roading. You better off buying TL01 and go offroading with it. YOU need that Spur Gear set, pinion set, AND New speed control. The stock RTR one just wouldn't handle it. Get new set of tires as well. If you want do to some mild of roading, the rally spike is good enough :D

[elec-fuyu]

thanks guys! im definetly getting the new esc!

for offroading i mean just not on flat concrete... and not dirt as well~ so..hehe

by the way, will the radio come with the XB work on the new escs?

[alex14]

by the way, will the radio come with the XB work on the new escs?
not sur ewhat u mean but if u mean will the radio that comes with the xb work on the newer esc im not very sure but i think that it should cause all of the radios come with basicly standard conectors but if it is tghr on ewit esc radio combined then im not sure

Sup guys - I used to own some older Tamiya's --- a Monster Beetle, and Terra Scorcher --- just ordered my first TT01, yesterday. It's just for fun, not for competition.

I want to remove the prop shaft to make it rear wheel drive - will this damage any components or cause any problems?

What are the mandatory upgrades, in your mind? What about non-Tamiya hop-ups?

Thanks!!

-AJ

[alex14]

i think that'll work cause most of the recivers have the standard plugs so it should work witha new esc unless it is the kind that has esc and reciver in one then im not sure but just to be sure just buy the tt-01 kit and eaven if u never build a rc u should be able to do it in a day or two the instructions and just buy a new radio with a new esc

Ballbearings! the only non-tamiya hop-up(s) are made by gpm... mostly chassis parts... so why the rear wheel drive?

[Zero2Hero]

Thanks for the reply!

Yeah - definitely gonna do ball bearings, the alum. steering upgrade, metal motor mount, heat sink, rear ball diff, and the graphite top brace.

I want some nice oil shocks - what do you recommend? I see the li'l plastic oil shocks you can get from Tamiya - are they any good? I had titanium Tamiya hop-up shocks on my Terra Scorcher, they were fantastic. What about springs? I want stiffer ones.

I pre-ordered the Schnitzer BMW M3 -- it's this kit that's getting me back into RC :rolleyes: -- I am a BMW guy for sure, I daily drive one and have another that I take out on road courses -- I'm all about the handling. I want it RWD because the M3 is RWD. It's my favourite :D

I would like to tailor the car towards acceleration vs. top speed -- on a scale of 1-10, w/ all out speed being 1 and acceleration being 10, I'm looking for a 6 or so. What motor, gear set, and pinion should I look for?

I am going to buy all the stuff I need all at once, most of it from WalaWala - so set me up here :D

Thanks for the help.

-AJ

[TRF Drive Hard]

Ya, Walawala is the top supplier for me... i buy all my stuff from him... very resonable shipping too compared to others... if you want shocks, i recommend the trf flourine shocks... imho, best of the best... i have over 10 sets including in my kits that came with it... flawless suspension... i usually use stiff springs... from blue to purple... blue=hard, white=very hard, green=super hard, and finally... the best ones i have used, purple=ultra hard... these are so hard it keeps my trf 04 planted on ultra smooth surface... not very good on slight hilly bumpy surface though... :cool:

[Zero2Hero]

What do you recommend for a motor/pinion/spur gear setup? Something tailored slightly more for acceleration than top speed. Give me a -real- motor - not a wimpy 540 :p

So the TRF's will fit, huh? I have seen 'em on Ebay, and they don't list the TT01 as an application.

I'll probably pick up some green springs, in that case.

Don't think the RWD will cause any problems, huh?

Any good stuff I should get from GPM?

Thanks again,

-AJ

[TRF Drive Hard]

I know Dave is the TT01 guru here... ever since i started this thread he's posted more than anyone else... i personnally dont have a tt01 yet... im mostly into the 04, 414, and 415... and surikarn and tb02... search these pages... i have seen many set ups and tips... even pics... mondo pics... and trust me, the trf shocks will fit ANY tamiya tc chassis... :cool:

-AJ

I don't think RWD is possible unless you make a special mount to hold the spur gear in place (the gearbox is just a cover) the hub that holds the shaft will fall off if you do not install the main drive.

Here is what I would do instead:
*remove front diff internals but leave the hub that holds the center shaft and the bearing inside the aft of the gearbox. That way the shaft hub will rotate freely without any friction.
*remove all the front dogbones etc.
*shim your front axles to where there is no play with some o-rings (rubber, metals ones...don't matter)

The reason why you want to leave that center shaft other than holding the center gear together is because it's made out of plastic and it weighs next to nothing.

I hope that helps.

I am running a Brushless set up, tottally different to your set up and much faster, longer runtimes way more efficent. It cost me $400 in uk for the ESC and Motor they coem together

[Dongskie Pinoy]

X-treme PRO3 Great Set-up! A set od oil-filled shocks will improve the handling.

[GA Maxx]

They are on order :)

[Manny]

losixxxman
the metal dogbones and axles from the TB01 fit and work just fine. As i may have mentioned before the diif ring gear, axles, diff outdrives and dogbones are fairly standard tamiya items. They're the same for the TL01, TB01, TA04s.

I'm not sure about your rear suspension in the front idea, but your front suspenion in the rear for easy toe-in adjustment sounds really cool! you would just need a place to mount the inner part of the steering rods. I'm about 99% sure you could make that work.

[turbo s15]

hey guys


i havent really been on much...... i see u guys have been hopping up ur tt-01 alot..... extreme the tt01 looks great man.... i need to post some pics of mine.... i love the way it corners with the front way and ball diff in rear the handling is excellent. Along with the trf shocks and every other hop-up availible on it, its pretty bad ass :D i use usally yellow springs on all 4 or blue in rear and yellow in front... thats the best set-up i think for street use...im gonna try to costum make some sway bars using some tamiya sway bars and try to custom fit them with diff lower arms needed.... is anyone else besides my and dave running the front way.... well take care guys...


hey how much run time do u have with the brushless xtreme pr03

i use matched GP3300's and get around 15-20minutes of general driving, on off power etc sometimes not at full

We've all heard that this was coming, but it's always good to see Tamiya's own website mentioning it. Japanese pages for now, let's hope their English pages mirrors the announcement soon.

I put on some HPI Gold Corsa Split Rims and HPI Pirrelli Rally tyres which is a sweet set up :)

However 1 very hard brushless run i drifted into a rock and cracked a rim :eek: :cool: Still useable tho

Seriously, this brushless set up is awesome, I'll try get soem videos.

Its just enough, I've got about 15 runs on it and no problems what soever.

[reptile]

Boy we had all 4 TT-01 cars racing at a parking lot in stock form but with a speedo added it was a blast!! One thing i need to know if anyone here knows who sells those flat plate like corner markers for making tracks in parking lots.. We used monster truck tires and they where all over the place.. not a good track marker...
THANKS....

[CarterTG]

Tamiya sells a pack of five corner markers. #53190. RCBoyz usually has a set posted on eBay. They're made of orange-colored rubber like traffic cones, but thinner.. that makes them real easy to spot using peripheral vision.

I bought a few sets. They work fine. They'll stay put even on the windiest days. During racing, if a car clips the edge, the dot stays and the car gets a little mishandling penalty but no body damage. If the driver is REAL sloppy and plows it straight down the middle, they'll find themselves catching some air, but usually the kind that lets them land back on all fours.

The other option is a set of white plastic racing dots from RoadDome (http://www.roaddome.com). You gotta do your own assembling... stickers on the topside, foam feet on the underside. I don't know if they're as heavy as the Tamiya dots though.

http://www.roaddome.com/images/system_features/systemfeatures_picS.gif

[reptile]

Hi Carter thanks for the info i just ordered 3 packs of the tamiya marker dots from RC Boyz think 15 markers will be good ?

[CarterTG]

15 sounds like a great start. Worst case, you'd just buy additional sets of 5 down the road. Most extras would be used to line straightaways, I figure.

If you find black tire scuffs on them after half a dozen sessions, a bit of diluted rubbing alcohol will clean 'em up.

[GA Maxx]

had a very hard bash today, ripped wing right off car, cracked bumper in 4 places, wasted a brand new set of rear tyres, cracked 3 rims, mainly because of speed bumps! The shell is totalled, going to look at new tamiya ones tonight maybe order from USA

ive tried drifting this car stock it is pretty good but im not much of a drifter miself so but u should get the adjustable steering things and adjustable chamver wich is the upper arms and pvc or electric tape ur tires but i got into drifting for like a month but it is not so much fun i still do it but nahh i mostly like the straight speed cause drifting in a rc u cant smoke ur tires and make a loud sqeeky noise unless us put 16 novak or hacker or what ever was in this video i saw when a gus got his tires to smoke in only like 2 secs they were smokin yaay but im not rich enough so i stick to going fast

hi guys,

i have just bought oil shock unit for TT-01. i am not sure how to setup it!

do you have some experiences or sugestions how to setup damper for flat tarmac surface for this chassis?!

1. stock coil spring (can´t change it now)
2. stock oil - soft (can´t change it now)
3. spring tension adjuster (V4, V6 or V7)

... or you have some others ideas how to modify this damper?! :confused:

How fast does the TT-01 go stock neways? Somewhere around 40km/h? Faster? Slower?

[GA Maxx]

id say slower than 40, quite a bit slower.

I keep wasting rims and tyres with my agressive driving style :( Im on my 3rd set of wheels and tyres in 1 month lol

Damn.. i was hoping 40... haha... any ideas how fast it actually goes? Come on! someone must have access to a radar gun :)

[chadori rc'er]

hey all TT-01 owners
i have had my TT-01 for a while now and i was planning to get into racing stock or 540 class. I was woundering what parts would be essential for racing. i was also woundering what the Toe-In and Rear Upright(#53673) for the our car does and if anyone has a picture of this hop-up.

THANX :D

[GA Maxx]

DaLurker, Id say about 15-18MPH, i dont know about KMH, mine does approxiamately 45mph

[fabolousRC]

Damn.. i was hoping 40... haha... any ideas how fast it actually goes? Come on! someone must have access to a radar gun :)

This magazine tested out TT01 stock and it's clocked at a thad over 20mph which is (20x1.6km) 32 kmh and that's bone stock with bushings and the johnsons. A set of ball bearings will bring the car up to about 23-25mph top speed...gear change will only confirm that speed...a mod motor will bring the number up to about 10mph more. Better shocks will give it up to 5mph boost. Better less rolling resistance tires with insert will bump about 3mph. A more efficient ESC and matching batteries will give it about 2-7mph boost but then you'll snap the center shaft...efficient shaft and drivetrain will give another 5 mph. Now, a Brushless system over that plust a matching gear ratio will give approx 20mph above what I just mentioned.

So let see here: 20+5+10+5+3+7+20= 30+30=60mph theoritical top speed

And I have not factored the wind resistance, the kind of body you use, and surface condition when you tried this speed run

[oohjamez]

Hello everybody, Sometime this week I plan on ordering a Calsonic GT-R (my 1st RC kit in 11 years). Along with the car I plan on ordering a set of ball bearings, Aluminum shaft and a few sets of wheels. I had these in mind: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXTU43&P=ML
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXM955&P=ML
(As Bart Simpson said when he got a diamond earring, "Sparkle, Sparkle". lol)

My 1st question is do I need Tamiya's pin adapters in order to use those wheels? http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&W=000558169&I=LXGE28&P=K

And secondly, do I need to get different bearings to mount the wheels? Since I live in Illinois, I always have to pay sales tax in addition to Tower's shipping fees... I just wanna save some dough and time.

Thanks in advance

[TRF Drive Hard]

The hpi rims are better... trust me... they have better hex hubs than the ones you linked... you want these...

[cheechthechi]

You shouldn't have to change the wheel bearing size at all.

[oohjamez]

Thanks for the info guys. I guess that I'm all set to order. I wonder what I can do to get it to pop wheelies like my lunchbox :)

Oops...math error...it should be 40+30=70mph theoritical top speed
70*1.6=112kmh theoritical top speed

Add some 2speed on it (no brakes though...watch out!!!!) it should add up to another 10mph? yikes...that almost beat my real car on 1/4 mile!!!!

[cheechthechi]

Theres a 2 speed for the tt 01? :confused:

[TRF Drive Hard]

2 speed? eh?

[T_Racer]

Hi guys, I have a question - which is better for the TL01-Spec class, TT01 or TL01? Which is better?

[microrcdude]

tt01. It has a lower CG.

[Manny]

tt01. Less gears in the drivetrain

[TRF Drive Hard]

tt01... replaces the aging tl01... :D

[cheechthechi]

tt - o1 period. :)

[TRF Drive Hard]

tt01 exclamation :D

Lol too funny

It's one of those NOVA made 2 speed gearbox attaches to your motor and the gearbox attaches to the motor mount...you'd probably seen some from ebay...

[TRF Drive Hard]

oops lol i posted in the wrong thread... lol :D

OOO Right. Yeah I've seen those before how well do they work?

[alex14]

well i have heard that they dont last long from pple on the traxxas page and they pit it in na elctric stampede and it did not last long i thinking with like a 11 turn mototr or eaven with a 15 turn the traxxy will break go on the traxxas website and electric stampede and typ ein a nova

[ShinHed]

How efficcient is the TT01 drivetrain when compared to the TB02? Which one is potentially a better buggy?

[TRF Drive Hard]

Buggy? you wanna covert it?

[ShinHed]

Well it is the base of the DT01 buggy soon to be released so, why not beat Tamiya to the punch? :D

[DaLurker]

Just got my TT-01 Kit today, took me almost 5 hours to build but it's done :) Took it out for a run before I painted my body and wow it goes pretty fast. Still not 100% used to driving it around at high speeds, but getting the hang of it, although I did have a few fender benders (well scratcher uppers :|) but I must say it's great, although the MSC seems to be a bit finicky sometimes, and either holding the car at speed, or not slowing down when I put it in reverse. Any ideas? And what's a good way to cover up the MSC contacts? I got some dirt on the leads already :|

[TRF Drive Hard]

Usually they come with a special lexan cover... Shinhed... look in the rcx forum here for the new buggy by tamiya, its based off the tt01... ;)

[cheerwhiner]

picked up the tt-01 xb mercedes yesterday. List some hop ups please!! I still have my ta04 but I feel better with the tt-01 for parking lot races because of the sealed gearing and shaft drive!! I know I need to get some ball bearings, but the XB already built version is great for $150! Really a good way for somebody to start. Of course I'm not a total beginner since I have a Ta04 and a Savage 25. LOL

However the RTR doesn't list hop ups and tower has some listed but I thought there would be more. I built the ta04 kit I've got, it was fun, but I just wanted an easy RTR that could stand pebbles and all that, and the tt01 certainly can (I got proof!)

By the way TL-01 is no longer made, my store has an rtr subaru for the same price as the tt-01 mercedes, and the mer. comes with an ESC! Duh!!!!

[cheerwhiner]

few quick questions:

-what is the most powerfull motor that the xb esc can handle?
-what kind of motor does it come with? I mean it just an unlabled motor can!!!

thanks. If it can use a 19 turn i will get one today maybe. This is certainly not going to be my hop up car, just for quick driving fixes while my savage or ta04 is being worked on! So I'm not trying to mack it out by any means :D

[GA Maxx]

Hi Everyone, not been around a while, got a new Tamiya Shell The Nissan Skyline R34 Loctit Zexel. I am in process of painting it now. My TT-01 is going great with the brushless. I have geared it lower for more top speed, and its even faster andwith what looks like zero accelration loss. I also got somew new World Spec Matched 3300's these have numbers nearly 1.18!!!!!!! Not tried them yet, I bought 38 cells for $269, 32 are going in my brushless emaxx (16 cells per run) and 6 left for the tt-01 :D

I am after a Blue aluminium Barrery Bar/Brace, anyone knwo if one exists and where can i get one (An Ebay link maybe ;))

[turbo s15]

HEY GUYS THE NEW FRONT/REAR STABILIZERS ARE IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 :D EBAY STORE JASONS STORE.


i just ordered me some gpm front and rear knuckles aluminum and titanium drive axles yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D cant wait until the come along with a few other things like new wheels and tires and servo and some other things.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! They're Finally IN! (wow i get excited easily)

On ebay you can find non Tamiya parts such as universals. I tend to do Tamiya (tt01,tt-01) when I search on there.

The motor that comes with the kit is your run of the mill 540 mabuchi motor. I don't know anything about the stock ESC, but I would suggest replacing the battery & motor connectors with something like Deans or Powerpoles. That should really help it with a 19T

thank you

this car can take a beating i'll tell ya!

[fabolousRC]

OOO Right. Yeah I've seen those before how well do they work?

It only works great when your battery is full...once the battery falters it will not shift oh and it does away with your brakes...since it uses one way bearing to activate the second speed.

Stock ESC will handle up to 23T. That's why Tamiya put Sport Tuned as an option. Any ROAR stock wouldn't hurt...I know it's bushings but if you break it in right it should be as fast as some 19T motors...like the Binary Stock for example.

If I am him, I will invest in some Duratrax or Mtroniks ESC...they're quite affordable...new radio wouldn't hurt either. Some new radio even comes with an ESC that's capable of handling 19 turns motors like the MX3 with F2000 ESC that's capable down to 17T, I think....

[cheerwhiner]

need some help

I got this guy here http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDYC1&P=M

no hop ups on it yet. however the manual that comes with the rtr doesn't tell ya how to assemble the car!! I could figure it out but if there is a manual somewhere I'd love to have it. The Tamiya Club website doesn't have a tt-01 manual yet (if they do, then my mistake and please link it!!)

anyway my primary car is a ta04 not this one, but a few hop ups won't hurt.

Well following Tamiya's newest trend they always have a follow up version for both the Xanavi and the Calsonic each on TB02 and TT01 version respectively. It should not be any latter than late summer right around Chicago Hobby Show if not then it'll be at All-Japan Hobby Show just prior to Holiday season starts.

I just like the TB02 version because it uses a new wheel (from Carrera GT) which made it much fresher than the Xanavi version. Watch the TCS 04 Championship...these are going to be the "it" body choice of weapon especially the new wing that wasn't meant just for looks.

[dookie320]

hi, i have the TT-01 RTR package and was wondering if anyone knows what turn motor the stock ECS can handle?

Thanks

[TRF Drive Hard]

I think 27t maybe...

[dabait]

I haven't seen any mention of it here, but the German Tamiya site shows a BMW M1 also coming out on the TT-01 chassis:

Tamiya Germany : BMW M1 info (http://www.rc-tamiya.de/tamiya/include.php?path=content/articles.php&contentid=1071&PHPKITSID=40ac5a5930390cc782d739aa5b6fc725)

[TRF Drive Hard]

Which is only available on the german market...

[fabolousRC]

I think 27t maybe...

23T cuz the Sport Tuned is a 23 Turn motor actually. It's not as powerful as the regular 540 Can because of the weak magnet and brush design limitations. However, it should be fine with a 23 Turn machine mod on it.

[cheerwhiner]

man this car is so easy to take apart, the exploded view sheet is all i need for a manual!!

Wow its actually 23t? i never knew that the sport tuned was... :D

[mjohnston39]

I don't think that BMW M1 is an official Tamiya release, probably a special for the German market, a Tamiya chassis with a Carson body. Does look good though.

Mike.

[TRF Drive Hard]

I have seen many German market kits that havent been a market to the US... they got some cool stuff!
