some guy on ebay sells them for 110 shipped to usa/canada. tower might be cheap cause they have $30 discount right now.

the tt-01s are great fan cars to mess around with since they're so cheap to get and have a lot selection of upgrades.... there are a lot of tt-01 versions. tamiya has the rx-7 kit with the led system included. The hpi bodies fit pretty nice on the tt-01. I've seen people wit the ae86s, skylines, 350z, Lamborghinis , all sorts of bodies. check out the drifting forum here and if you want some ideas on how they look like.

is there by any chance any body who sells BMW 5series body shells?

mindwreck

thats a good radio for the price.. FM, plenty of good functions. they're pretty cheap on ebay

The kit is extremely easy to build. Tamiya kits are easy to understand and they're instructions tell you everything. I built my friends TT-01 from memory from start to driving in less than 3 hours.

mindwreck

hpi makes this m5 body but its for the wider 200mm kits so you will need some off set tires to fill the wheel wells.

so i've found a kit with an Impreza Body, but i was wondering, how do you paint the body? paints are $3 on ebay, but wat do you use?

mindwreck

i like using the tamiya paints since they tell you what colors you should use to make it look like the pictures

Paulyd

wat do u use to paint it though?

mindwreck

what do you mean? You just cover parts up with masking tape and spray.

Paulyd

i'm guessing u say spray cuz its an aerosol, but on the can it shows a paintbrush.

and wat steering servo fits the tt-01? wat are the dimensions?

mindwreck

oh. the paint ones are for their other types of models. planes and things like that. most of the RC ones are in spraycans. much easier to use. you can use the paint if you have airbrush to use it in.

would that servo work with a tt-01?

theres the radio i will choose.

symbios24

for that price you better buy a dx2 radio.too expensive for 3 channel radio better have a look on ebay

mindwreck

it will work fine. the tt-01 uses standard servos. and the radio i suggest again that you should go on ebay for one if you really want a xs3. much much cheaper. or go with symbios suggestion and get a skeptrum and don't deal with crystals,etc.

Paulyd

man if i'm gunna get that spectrum, the kit, and other stuff, i'm really gunna need to scrap together cash.

Paulyd

wat?

mindwreck

how much money do you have? I thought you had enough since you kept suggest the radios and things.

Paulyd

like i'm not sure yet cuz i have other priorities, but i do have a job.

Paulyd

wat parts are available in carbon fiber except for the upper bumper mount? can yomeone give me some links.

mindwreck

theres only a few, and some of them are graphite and not actual weaved carbon fiber. Only ones i know of are the braces on rcmart. The other parts i've seen are custom fab parts.

Paulyd

damn. oh well. wat do you guys think of the aluminum parts? is it better to go with them, or to stick with the plastic?

mindwreck

I think the plastic parts are just fine.
1-cheaper
2-lighter
3-tamiya plastic is pretty strong stuff
4-most of them aren't made by tamiya so i can't use them in the races, if you just bash then this isn't important...
