RE: TT 01 Converting to drift spec.

Thanks mate, yeah he wanted the old school type! -Will it have a fair range on it or would the one you suggested be better? - maybe I can talk him round...!

Much appreciated ....

A mate of mine just ordered a TT 01-R it doesn't come with receiver or servo... whats good to get, so he can get started?

buy a radio, like a futaba or airtronics (just some cheap 2 channel to get you started; even used works) and buy a good cheap servo. i say a hitec 645 or something.

hope that helps.

hey man would this work, looks like it has a servo too....

That radio will work, but is he set on driving with a stick radio? The majority of R/C Land drivers use pistol grips, I prefer pistol grips as do most for cars, but if you want a stick then go for a stick.

That is a great pistol radio for just entering the hobby, if you want pistol I'd go for that one.

Another thing, I think the futaba 2ER only comes with air frequencies, it will still work but you'll just be different. :P And odds are you won't be able to race with an air frequency crystal, at least that's how it is around here where I live.

RE: TT 01 Converting to drift spec.

They will both get about the same range since they run on the same AM bands, if he wants to go stick then it's cool. There are some people that just prefer stick, I guess some people have more dexterity in there thumbs then in their other fingers so a stick radio could be helpful. But that radio would be a great radio to get started with if he wants to give the stick a try :) Now i've never personally used the 2ER stick radio from futaba, but I own 4 of their pistol radios and they've all been fantastic. If he's looking for a cheap in to start with on the radio system, that's a great place to start. Stick radios can get really expensive compared to pistols because they can offer a lot more features and channels, which won't be needed with a car so theres no need to go investing in a 12-channel stick radio :D

And to whoever asked why the alum. prop shaft is needed :
The stock plastic one is hollow and doesn't do to well at higher RPMs, which you will be hitting during drift sessions :)

Here is some video of my TT 01. There is a clip before I put hop ups on the car, then a clip after I fitted most of the hop ups, making it more drifty! Thanks for your help, now I just need to learn how to drive it!
