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..
