RE: What is .....
1.The best way to cut your body posts?
Dont Cut them, If You cut them then you will have Very limited Shell selection
2.PVC,ABS, Yokomo Drift Rings Tamiya Type D tires which is best or ae they generally the same?
ABS/Black Polypipe Offer best Slip for Grip, If You really want to have Authentic looks and some High Speed fun on a Polished Concrete Floor then go the rift Tyres
3.What type of Spur gear and Pinion should I use with the Tmaiya RS-540 Sport tuned motor in my TT-01?
I Use The Stock 19/61 Ratio in my TT-01 and it handles my 10x2T Motor with Ease and Very little Heat Build up and Is Great for Drifting.
4.Does the wiper,muffler and mirror set from yokomo fit well on a Tamiya TT-01 Body?
Yes. they will fit most Shells
5.are alluminum wheels worth it (besides the look)
I Find Plastic Wheels do the job fine, If You mean Aluminium as in Chrome Plated Rims? then I have discovered that over time the Chrome Chips off leaving an Ugly looking Rim..
