This is my Tamiya TL01 Drift Supra.

The chassis is a TL01 with Tamiya tuned gear set, long span rear suspension, adjustable tie rods, sway bars, aluminum wheel hubs, complete ball bearing set, adjustable aluminum shocks and of course locked diff.

The electronics are Futaba Radio, Novak super rooster ESC, RCD Shredder receiver, Futaba servo.

The motor is a 15t double Orion Method R.

The wheels are HPI TE37 26mm 0 offset front 6mm offset rear w/ ABS tires

The body is a JGTC Toyota Supra painted black w/ the HKS Altezza decals also has the Yokomo HKS Silvia wing, mirrors and wiper blades.

I went Grip to Drift and I'll never go back

hey man, nice tl-01...i wish i could hop mine up with a budget like mines. i locked my diffs b4 with regular tires and electrical tape but the stress created damage to my dogbones and it broke 3 of them. will this stop when i get ABS for the car? also what shocks are those and do they help out drifting?

very very very nice, i too have a TL-01. with pvc piping for drift tyres, the totally cream tape...but alot less speed, i find that it looks as if u are drifting in a lil slow motion, but it is easier to control and much funner. ;)

My shocks were actually bought off ebay, do they help I think they do to a degree because I can dial in the front and rear as far as how stiff I make 'em but my kids stock TL-01 drifts almost as well as mine and his is completely stock with the diff locked.

as far as the tires go ABS break loose alot better and are more predicatable while drifting, I have had no parts break yet and I run the crap out of the car.

Drifting is the hardest thing you can do to a car vs grip or street racing and that goes for real cars as well as RC cars .
