K i need help with a couple things....

What the hell is a servo...

And if i get a stock TT-01 ppl have said i need to get a new ESC because it heats up too much... is this true ?

What is the role of the ESC...

How much should i be paying for a higher than average car...

ok. so u are a TOTAL NEWB. ok. a servo is a mechinisim that steers the car. as for the TT-01, the stock esc is fine. it does not overheat, or anything.

ESC is what controls the speed of your car. If you hold the trigger on the remote lightly, it will go slow. If you jam it, it will go fast. And yes, stay with buying TT-01.

any hop-ups i should get right when i buy it ?

what are the first hop-ups i should be buying ? bearings seem common but i dont understand bearings... like i know what they are but are we putting them in the wheel or somewhere in the motor ? and why wouldnt there be bearings in the wheels already ?

RE: Basic Help... Plz Look, Very Basic
 

For the TT-01, the hop-ups that are highly suggested are the aluminum drive shaft and ball bearings.

Bearings make moving parts(such as the drive shaft, differnetial, and axels) move more smoothly.

SO I SHOULD GET THOSE PRETTY MUCH WHEN I BUY THE CAR RIGHT ???

DOES IT COME WITH AN INSTRUCTION BOOKLET OR MANUAL I CAN USE TO INSTALL THE PARTS ????/

RE: Basic Help... Plz Look, Very Basic
 

not really... i'd say ball bearing are important to buy. and tires

RE: Basic Help... Plz Look, Very Basic
 

Sure.

RE: Basic Help... Plz Look, Very Basic
 

ok thx.... what about higher hop ups?

shocks, motor, ESC ???

Can i use NiMH batteries on the TT-01 series? The chassis says NiCD but i have tons of NiMh and i dont feel like buying a separate charger and batteries.

RE: Basic Help... Plz Look, Very Basic
 

NiMh are fine dude
ESC is a must
...and servos come with the radio gear, it's a black rectangular matchbox sized plastic thing with a star screwed on (google for "futaba servo")

@ daddygodoff

if you order the ball bearing set and install upon assembly just replace the stock bearings with the ball bearings, its a very simple process. also a motor is a must the stock 540 just doesnt cut it...i first upgraded to a venom 21t and quickly realized this as well wasnt cutting it i recomend the reedy quad 18t by associated. any more questions on your tt-01 just ask.

no dont steer him towards buying upgraded motors and stuff yet just yet especially if hes a noob first of all learn to drive the car drive the learn to fix the car then get upgrades like motor esc ect.are u gettin a rtr or kit if its an rtr pull it apart then put it back together youll lern alot by doing that.if you think your gonna have trouble remembering how to rebuild it take digital pictures as you go then u can refer to them when your rebuilding.a quick and easy upgrade is deans plugs.
