RE: How to adjust camber
 
well, a tt01 has fixed camber links, so you can't adjust the stock camber.

i'm assuming that you are relatively new to r/c tuning in general, if you are wondering how to adjust camber, so let me go through the basics of camber. camber is the slant of the wheels (inward or outward, towards or away from the chassis center line). the tt01 uses double wishbone suspention, so to adjust the camber on your tamiya you would need to alter the length of the upper suspention arms. most cars do this by turnbuckles, but since your upper suspention links/arms are solid, they can't be adjusted. that answers you adjustability question.

now, do you NEED to change your camber? most probably not. the stock camber on a tt01 is 1 degree inward. most drifters use zero degrees (no slant). this is primarily because pvc/abs tires would wear flat anyways regardless of your camber settings, thus negating any tuning advantages from the camber. a 1 degree camber setting, like on your tamiya probably would not make a significant difference and you would probably not notice any difference between a 1 degree or 0 degreee setting

so what does it all come down to? long answer short, it is not necessary for you to change your camber on your tt01 to drift properly. since you are new to drifting. what you do need to do is get a set of abs or pvc tires (i prefer abs for realism and performance) there are plenty of threads and tutorials on the forum on how you can make your own set for cheap, so just use the search function.

hope this info helps
happy drifting!
