Status: offline 		So happy, I just sealed a deal for a TL-01... here's what comes with it:

3 1200 mAh packs (I have 2400's I use)
3 Chargers (god knows why)
2 Motors (P2k Pro and Stock)
Futba ESC
Acrons TX and RX???
3 Bodies, Mustang, Beamer, and Some other one
8 sets of tires TOTAL

What should I use as a setup for it for drifting?? I was thinking this:

P2k Pro Motor
Batts
ESC
Body

LMK what you think... also what are the essentials of drifting that I should be looking for?

I've never seen the inside of the diffs on a tamiya, but I would assume they are just a spider gear open diff, so you might consider some springs to help lock them a little, thats what I did with my HPIs

if you havent got drift tyres insulation tape on the tyres is handy.

No Actually he wasn't the Guy above him did...

There have been a few TL-01 Posts resurected from the Dead as people are slowly picking them up off the net as they become cheaper and cheaper..

It's true that many older chassis' have been had pretty cheap, too!

Good point, magnat
