I think the sports tuned motor included is a 23 turn motor. The ESC can handle that motor.

Yeah a tamiya sport tuned is a 23 turn. They have them off tower for less than 20 bucks.

JDM bear in mind that when you get the tt-01D that you should try and get the aluminum driveshaft. Other than that you should be cool. Get some ABS or PVC and you will be all set. And just do the upgrades as you learn to drive the car.

Yes, it comes with oil shocks. see post #7

I took it for a spin today at our track, and the tarmac/asfalt on the track is not suitable for the Tamiya D tires. There is simply too much grip in them for that surface.
Maybe a stronger motor, could make the wheels spin better, but I dont want to go that way.

Im going to install these ABS, or PVC tires on it instead.

I also put some tape inside the body shell where the clips are, and in the wheel arches to protect the paint.
I installed the receiver on the rear diff, to get it away from the ESC and mtor. this gives me very long range without any glitching at all.

if you look at the thrid picture, you can see that the wheel has rubbed against the tape. If the tape was not there, you get a nice clear spot on the boddy shell there......which is not cool looking

Also the clips on the inside, rub the paint off the hood with time.

On the tamiya site it says friction damper and also on tower.....

That's wierd

I was in the market for this car, but now I suppose there is another reason to get one.
