so your gona try to drift the pig eh? i used jb weld in the rear diff and front one way for my set up depending of tire and surface you can get some major over steer!!! the kits open diff doest work if you can carry speed through your drifts. if your going to be running a 27t motor i recomend a fdr of 5.5 to 6.0 but tunning is a hit and miss thing

Murd0ck

How do I JBWeld it? Any tips would be helpful.

slegh

its simple just put jp weld on all 5 inner bevel gears let it set for 24 hours and your done. if you want to save just put jb weld on the 3 spider gears just depands on how you want to go about it.

Murd0ck

How does your drift setup perfrom with front one way and rear JB welded?

LOL you called it a pig. It is heavy, but strudy too.

slegh

it preforms good just a bit tricky at times its a timming game really got catch the over steer add some gass and ride the slide the front one way acts like an e-brake but due to the weight of the tb-01 it likes to slide out wards its a good on a wide corse. but i did get it to hook up realy well some asfalt with hpi t-drifts really damn good but the tire go out to fast. drifted in a cars face that came clost to pan caking my car in parking lot.[X(] not gona do that again. yeah its sturdy but there is to much chassis flex it will chew on gears for me. try flexing front and back at the same time and you will see what i mean.

Murd0ck

Is the front one way a must?

Lunchboxer

So you got that setup off eBay, eh?! How come the auction was listed and then re-listed? What's the story?

Is it just the picture or the rear tires have toe-out? Did you mix up the left and right rear knuckles? Make sure that you check them.. !!

Have fun!

Murd0ck

I guess there is a guy on ebay with incomplete kits. I can get them.

I think the toe out on the rear is due to me tighten them up too much. There is a left and right? I thought they were identical...?

Lunchboxer

I don't remember.. but just make sure that the rear should either be 0 toe or toe-in, never toe-out.. if it is toe-out, then there's left and right and you need to swap them.. !!

Murd0ck

Thank you for the tips. I will adjust before running the car.

Lunchbox any tips to reduce weight?

Lunchboxer

Not much you can do there.. aluminum driveshaft, Evo gears, that will reduce the weight quite a bit.. (see the build thread) But not much else can be done, I think.. I think the top deck can be changed out to CF unit..

Murd0ck

Thanks for the guidance! Things are coming along need a reciever, ESC, and some other little things I should be running within a week.

slegh

penguine rc make a complete cf kit for the tb-01 wich you can order off there site and now a front way is not mandatory you can run an open diff get a ball diff from tg-10 mk1 kit or lock the front diff

slegh

So what do you guys think the odds are i can get tb-02 diff to fit in a tb-01 tonight at work? [>:]

slegh

uhh yeah there not inner changable darn!

Murd0ck

I found another way to lock the diff without using anything. You take one of the 3 bevel gears, and mash it between 1 & 2. Close the diff and there you go locked diff. You can go back to regular diff it you do it right. A guy at my track did this to TT01 drive train. is TB01 and TT01 similar drive trains?

I'm going to try it tonight.

Lunchboxer

That's a common trick that can be used in many Tamiya diff...

slegh

there similar in working princeables but in size there differnt from each other

Murd0ck

Oh so jamming the bevel in between did not work for me. It seems to slip. So I used playdoh. It seems to work, but does still slip a little bit. Im going to take it to the track at sheldon once my reciever comes in. I will post more info from my testing.

I will start to work on my 2nd TB01 for rally.

Where can I find cheap rally block tires?

Murd0ck

JB Weld is the winner~

I locked my rear end made minor adjustments to toe in and rear camber, and I'm drifting like a dream! I have to use power to drift due to the lack of adjustments possible with TB01 chassis.

Here is my TB01D setup! (I added the D for Drift)

Chassis: TB01
Suspension: Stock
Motor: Trinity 24T
ESC: 200A ebay cheapo
Wheels: Stock
Tires: Tamiya Driftech
Servo: Futaba 3003
Receiver: Futaba R12JE

Its alot of fun drifitng it at my local track. Rally RC car drifting! O.o I will post pics.....

Murd0ck

Here are some pics of my TB01 during andafter the build process! From Rally to Drift!

Hey LB,

I was wondering if you had some ideas to free up the pinion gear. It seems the pinion is mashed up against the Spur, and not allowing the car to coast... When I looked at the motor mount there are no slots just various holes. The other settings seem to not grab the pinion.

If anyone else has ideas please let me know.

Lunchboxer

You need to check the manual... Each set of holes corrosponds to one particular spur and pinion combo.. At least that's how most of the Tamiya kits work.. I am not home so I can't check it for you...

Murd0ck

Hmmm. Is the Aluminum motor mount worth it?

Lunchboxer

I like the aluminum motor mount!
