hi can i use the original electric rustler ESC and use it one my tt-01 motor? is this ESC comaptbale with the tamiya motor? i dont wanna fry anything...thanks

dan

is the rustler motor 550 size? should work as the tamiya is only 540

im not sure if it is 540 or 550...all i know is that its called the "Stinger 20 turn" motor...anyway, i tried using this setup and nothing seems to be too bad...(by the way, this is my first time drifintg with my tt-01..SO FUN)...the ESC was hot but not like burning. motor seems like the same temp...soooo i geuss its alright? hehe

The 550 size is slighty bigger than the 540 motor in the tt-01,mine runs a bit hot after 20mins or so all good then,if you think its starts running too hot get hold of a fan to cover the ESC/motor those pc fans are pretty good had one running on a 9v battery on top of my motor to keep it cool in the sunshine
sounds like that ESC is a 20turn limit as the tamiya standard silver can is a 27t you could probally drop a faster motor in if u wanted too just saty around 21turns that what i have in one of mine drfits well on pvc too [8D]

Sorry to inturrupt thread but i have a tt-01 and it is almost bone stock... I have 6 3000MAh "venom" bat. but i also have 3 cars all the same me my bro and dad's. They all have bearings thats about it... Anyways here is the ?'s I am putting new mods in them i am looking to buy Yeah Racing Alloy 50mm damper set i have a ? though I have 2 type 50mm suspension what is the differnce from (BU) & (SV) and is this good for drifitng? Also i am getting a motor it is a rz superstock 23t. Also I shouldnt have to get a new ESC for this motor right? Then a alloy driveshaft. But on the drive shaft do u have to get a alloy center joint cup??? Also with that motor should i get a heatsink? Then from there i am getting with a alloy battery hold. I think that is about it for now... I have been drifting for over a year and decided to step it up. But is this a good step up??? Also i am wanting to rally alittle nothing to serious just some small jumps and a little dirt but mostly into drifitng.

Thanks alot...

I would recommend getting a Better ESC then the stock one regardless.
I use an M-Troniks Viper RV15 ESC and both the Tamiya RZ and TZ motors
Your mods are heading you in the right direction for a better drifter..

On my TT-01 I just replaced the Centre Plastic shaft with an Alloy one and thats pretty much it... rest was stock
