hello what would need to be done to a tamiya onroad car to make it into a rally car other then rally tires. thank you

Depends on the car. I've converted a couple of TL-01 cars. Simply find some longer shocks and put some rally tires on it and you're good to go.

kaiser01

what car/chassis are you asking about?

for the most part you'll need to increase suspension travel a bit, you may need to reinforce certain parts, def need tires mabye shocks.

if you are asking about the tt01 series, they don't make very good rally cars. look into the df03ra series of cars.

i was wondering about the tt 01's because thats what is mostly stocked.

kaiser01

the tt01 is a very basic entry level car. if you haven't bought anything yet you'd be much better off with the df03ra.

Depends on how severe offroading you want to do.
If you just want to drive on dirt, it should be fine. For a while I had a m03 rally(lengthened shocks, rally tires and tl01 arms) and it worked very well in the dirt. Only thing that went wrong was the crappy duratrax "teflon" shieled bearings got dirt in them and became crunchy.

The df03ra would be better if you want to drive in grass too.

Im a big suzuki fan so I war looking at the tamiya sx4 but I think I would be happier with the df03ra does anybody know if the sx4 body will fit on the df03ra?

The Mad Modder

They're pretty close. The tt01(which the body comes with) has a 257mm wheelbase, the df03ra can be shortened to a wheelbase of 251mm.

TT-1E is actualy 251mm http://www.tamiya.com/english/produc..._wrc/index.htm
