Status: offline 		I'm fairly new to R/C and I've had my TT-01 since last year. It's a great kit for beginners alike and good for tinkering with.

One thing that I'm not to sure about is what gear set should I go for. I would like to have max speed and I've got a Tamiya SuperStock TZ Motor, Alloy shaft with all ballraced.

Thanks

Well I'm using the Tamiya GT Tuned 25 turn motor (just swapped it out from the Duratrax one), and I'm using a 26 pinion with a 55 spur gear. The acceleration is still pretty quick, and the top speed isnt too bad either. The engine doesnt overheat and I get descent amount of run time with a Tamiya 1400 mAh battery.

So that might suit that engine fine. Maybe a 27 or 28 pinion gear since those TZ motors rev out another 6000-7000 RPM over the GT Tuned motor.

Haha man I dont really care what you think

Personaly, I would try the 3 star in sportman before buying a new motor. I bet it will still go great. Give it a shot and if you don't like it advertise it as used once.

The guy that want's to rally his TT-01, it shouldn't be too hard to do. I would get some rally tires and CVA Oil filled mini-shocks.

Status: offline 		Well guys I finally got to "Speed Trap" the TT-01. Unfortunately I only did it with a non-matched battery that was half dead lol.

So keeping all that in mind, my average was a bees doodle under 49kph. I'm sure if I geared it harder I would be over 60kph, because I am gettting wheel spin to about 30kph..

Status: offline 		hey guys new to this forum... sold off my rock crawler to get a tt-01 and some hop ups, nsx body, orion 15d, 23/61, alloy center shaft, heatsink, metal motor mount, adjustable upper control arms, tie rod kit, traxxas tq2 radio setup, novak super rooster. i use it to drift around in the street, race a bunch of guys from chattanoogarc.com on thursday nights, and run it around the house on the hardwood floor. does anyone know the best way to get the slop out of the suspension, like the control arms especially?? this thing is really quick at changing its own camber, caster and toe in because of the slop in the control arms. and hubs. or is my only option of going to alum parts.

Status: offline 		Some new parts i aslo got the red battery holder too. The paint job isnt that great because i rushed it and those rims are the stock ones...im waiting for my new rims with a greater offset to equal it out with the 200mm body. Also, ive got the 55T/58T spur set and the 20T/21T/22T/23T pinion set, i was wondering should i use the 55T spur or the 58T spuR? i was gonna use the 22T pinion, but any suggestions are welcome.

EDIT: im using a novak ss4300 system.

BTW, nice car. Looks pretty flash with those anodized red billet parts.

Status: offline 		Hello everyone! I just got me a TT-01, the 2004 Rabrig kit to be exact, and just finished reading through this forum. There's some good stuff here. One thing I heard over and over is how a beastly motor would shred the gears. This has me a little worried. From the beginning I installed a Feigao 540XL 6T Brushless (13.3 oz. HUGE motor) that I had laying around. I've been flying R/C for a few years and naturally had an airplane ESC that I coupled with the motor. It's functional but I would like something with dynamic braking and possibly reverse that isn't wickedly expensive. I can't seem to find any brushless ESCs even remotely cheap for cars! Anyhow, this combo makes the car very fast, but at about 1/3 throttle the flexing of the propeller shaft gets so bad that it vibrates against the surrounding plastic extremely loudly. I've got the aluminum one on order but I was wondering if anyone has experienced this amount of flex with their setups. Everything else seems solid but I've only driven it for about 20 minutes. I was also wondering why everyone says the stock tires are junk. I don't have any experience with this kind of cars and was wondering how much better they can get.

R?reBreed, doesn't your plastic propeller shaft give you trouble with your setup?

Status: offline 		i have the raybrig kit too yes with a 15x2 orion motor in mine i had the driveshaft sounding like a 2step on a drag strip christmas tree. i have the metal one in my car and it is alot better. i could actually tell a difference in top speed and acceleration. once you get your alum shaft, that 2 pair of pliers and twist the shaft, mine actually twisted pretty bad. if you get the adjustable upper arms, you will need to fix the slop in the control arms. i actually fixed mine by putting pieces of a plastic bag(sandwich bag in my case). it did make the front end not want to droop when i had no shocks on the car but it handles the same to me. tires do make a big difference. i have a set of hpi X-pattern radials pro compound on mine with some hpi medium foams, and it handles so much better. about the shredding of gears. i shredded my stock 61 tooth gear with a robinson racing pinion. if you get different pinions get the tamiya ones. some reason a 19 tooth tamiya is about the same size as a robinson racing 21 or 22 tooth pinion yet the pitch is different that a 48p gear. i have yet to figure that one out, so i just bought the tamiya stuff. i have had a cobalt 2 7t in my car and did not shred a thing (wheel hexes dont count) when i had the motor set right.

Status: offline 		ddlyspdr, thanks for the info! I just got the aluminum drive shaft today and that definitely fixed that flexing problem! This little car is very fun to drive. I had it going just over 37 MPH today and can't wait to get a new (Tamiya brand) pinion to see how much more I can get out of this thing. I also have some radials with foam on order and am anxious to see how they affect the handling. I feel like this kit is a great value and I take so much more ownership of it since I built it. Anyhow, I've got to go so I can start adding LED's to this thing.

Here are a few pictures after its first day of hard running. I think you'll notice my beefy Feigao, airplane ESC and 7 channel receiver just waiting for me to add ridiculous stuff to it!

Well with tires, with the stockers my turning circle with a stock motor was about a 30 foot diameter at full speed, now its about 10 feet with good tires at full speed with a 19t motor.
