Default RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread

Since getting this mamba max i'm spending way too much time waiting on spares [] Firstly the damn tyres would not stay on chromed wheels, the glue would stick to the chrome which would just lift off at anything above half throttle.

So i got new tyres and some plain plastic wheels, glued em on and headed out for some fun, after less than a minute the car seemed to have turned into a rear wheel drive ! which was fun for about ...oooh 10 seconds with this much power. Turned out the rear prop shaft cup's shaft was spinning independently of the cup.

So i've ordered some titanium ones. With any luck i might be able to give this thing a good run soon. Once it's all back together with the new prop shaft cup's ill post some pics at least.

If it then holds up to at least one battery run in my garden i'll take it to the beach for some long runs and post some video.
