WOW!!!! I see this has been dug up from the under world

Many years on and I decided to get a TT01D only just this year to compete in our local TT01 class. I actually first used my TA04 and then sold that to get a TA05IFSR. The TT01 is never going to be on par with a TA05 even after I threw many Tamiya hops ups at it but I will say this......it requires much more concentration and effort to knock off some perfect drifts compared to a pro chassis and for this I think it is a good beginner platform. Once you have mastered a TT01 you can drive anything!!!

There is much more slop in the whole setup but I suppose you cannot expect much for the price and it was never desinged to be a pro chassis....just an entry level basher that could stand up to many a beating....which they do!

I locked the rear diff on mine from day 1 by pouring hot glue in it and used lots of anti wear grease to try and get the front diff to be tight (almost like tightening up a ball diff) however as it gets hot it lossens up!

I would say that for anyone getting into drifting this is definately a good start as it has all that you need and you can build from there.......but as has been explained over and over again, any 4WD chassis will do the trick as long as it is setup correctly
