ball bearings and drift tires made from abs, alloy drive shaft, the stock motor will work, and that should be it

my tt01 setup
gtb/7.5r 19t pinion 61t spur
ball bearings
aluminum shaft and motor mount
ball bearing steering
cf upper deck
sways (blue)
trf dampers with tamiya yellow springs
aluminum 3racing dogbones
rear spool, front ball diff
adjustable upper arms and front links

so i have about 300 dollars in parts not including motor and servo in mine, but it drifts like a dream

Hello

Can some of you tell me exacly what parts you have? I mean ball bearings, sways, rear spool, front ball diff etc.

I have one more question is it TT-01 Chassis???

Thank you for help. Cheers;]

I would suggest is to modify the tires, get rid of those rubber tires way to much grip. So go to your hardware store, picking up some ABS Plastic Piping (bring a rim, for sizing)

(not PVC, because if you use PVC there is very little traction and you will just be messing up more than learning, and ABS has the perfect balance)

Swap out those tires, and practice. Then build up from there.

Don't try to learn on a "non beginner drift car"

Please read this it will answer some of your questions!

I learn on spray paint caps!

Quick question, I see the TT-01 Type E ball bearings as listed separately on RCmart... does anyone know if they will fit the standard TT-01 chassis?

yeah the e bearing set will fit u will just have a couple bearings left over because the e has bearings in the steering.

Goral: To get a TT-01 sliding..

I would Suggest a Tamiya RZ motor, a 15T Reversible ESC and do the Ball Bearing and alloy propshaft upgrade with a Change to some Hard Compound tyres..


I learned on PVC Tyres, then Swapped to ABS once I had the car control worked out.. Learning on the Slipperiest Compound possible may take longer but your car control will be more advanced then if you went straight for the Easiest compound...
