RE: Tamiya TB-01 Resource Thread!
Opening the box, and assembly (not much assembly pics, sorry!)
"Tarmac" mode, Tamiya wheels and tires from ebay:
Gravel mode! (too low for gravel but looks better for pics ha!). The wheels are the TB-01 focus wheels, got them on ebay.
And drift mode, only put these plastic tires (ebay again). The wheels are a little too small and offset is not right. I thought the TB-01 wheels were 0mm offset so I bought +3mm offset wheels, end up being all sunk in the fenders. I added a couple small washers between the wheel and hex to adjust slightly (approx +1mm rear, +2mm front)
Drift is kind of fun, Iused to that with tape one the wheels (on my micro RS4) but when I saw the price of the drift tires and wheels combos I thought why not. Plus it looks cool.
And a size comparison pic with my other Impreza build
1/5th scale DIY (see my thread in the large scale forum, I'm in the homemade large scale sticky)
