hey andyjk, for my tt01ei am thinking of getting the same 3s zippy lipo's as you so did you need to do any custimisation to the car to fit them? if so what did you do

cydog510

my vote is for the tb-03, get the drift version, it comes with TONS of upgrades, WELL worth the extra.

Andyjk

I didn't have to do any modification but it is mounted weirdly. It sits up on it's side and diagonally across the battery tray. I'll post some pics when I get home.

Andyjk

This is how I mount them. Raises the COG a bit but there's not much else I can do.

How the hell do you have that monster wired up? Looks like somethings about to catch fire. LMAO

Andyjk

What do you mean "wired up"? Are you referring to the battery?

K need Opinions..First Friday is going be the day i get tt-01..i was wondering first what size body fits on these..and then any opinions on bodies? I am looking for either like the actual racing bodies like Porsche or somthing like where its really low and huge fin or somthing or like street racing like body kits and all.

Andyjk

190mm bodies fit the best. Take your pick:

we run a bomber class at our local track (indy slots) and the regular winner drives a tt-10 with tamiya speedo! i drive an old tc3 and i was wondering as this guy won't say is the tt-01 that much lighter than a tc3?

blando233

wow why is tamiya so expensive

cydog510

detailing an dquality. they are WAY more scale and less toy looking than HPI.
tamiya all the way i say!

blando233

well from HPI i like the Lotus sport one i think its nice and sporty i do like the Tamiya ones

blando233

also what are some good racing shocks?

Andyjk

You can get Tamiya ones cheap on eBay. And yeah I'd have to agree, they look a lot better thant the HPI ones. A lot of the HPI ones don't look like the car they are meant to lol.

cydog510

tamiya make the best ones, but it's overkill on the enty level TT-01.
just get some cheapy oil filled ones, they did quite well for me.

whats a good weight for shocks for racing?

cydog510

try doing a little research, it's all a matter of prefferance.

i had to buy the turnigy version of your lipo because hk aus warehouse doesnt have zippy batts in stock and i found out that i just have to cut out a bit of the bath tub to make way for side exit wiring and it fits perfectly without the battery hold down thingy. i fixed it with cable ties but i wonder how the people with the new carbon touring cars like the trf417 and tc6 keep thier batts still without the battery hold down thingy's.

blando233

what about a Speed controller? any suggestions

Check on the HPI website, but I think the 70 Cuda body is 200mm in the front and 210mm in the back. The kind of tires and wheels you use will determine if there is a big or slight gap between the body and the tires.
