RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
That's ok then ! I was worried for a while there. Ill let you know how the chassis holds up. To be honest, if this set-up warps a tt-01 chassis i will actually be kind of impressed 
And maybe make a new one out of steel or something [>:]
I have a few days to myself next week and im hoping all the new bits will be here then so i can really play. If i get a video up on youtube i'll post it here.

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
I'd like to do that as it happens, if only just to see myself what it can do. Only thing is my TT-01 is a bit of a rally convert, longer shocks and block tyres and the shell is cut right back away from the wheels. Ill have to see what i can do, i was kind of wondering whether to get a few road bits, shocks and tyres and maybe a new shell to make it dual use. I might do that but it'll take a while. Even without a decent bodyshell i could use the original stock tyres and maybe the stock shocks too, might bounce a bit but for a straight run it should be reasonable enough.
Can't wait for next week now !

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
Hey there everyone! Some of you may remember me. Others not. Well im going to rebuilt my TT-01, but to drift specs. Problem is... Im not sure as to some things. Can you guys help me out? Well here is my list of things I know i want and others are still questions.
List of things im gonna be getting for sure:
HPI 190mm Toyota Levin body (lovin it!, Goes perfect with drifting)
Im also gonna have someone paint my body for me (in case you didn't know... Bill zegers)
Hot Works Brake Disc Hex Adapter Chrome Met Gray (4) (if they work with my TT-01)
Now for my big list of questions:
What motor should i get? (I'm leaning twords a sport tuned but i dont really know)
Also would you recomend bearings?
Next on my list is what spur gear/and pinion should i Get for drifting?
Also i would like a set i can swap out for just bashing/racing
Same with tires? I think i will just use the stocks and try to make them less gripy? Im thinking some sort of tape may work?
Any recomendtions on Parts that will make it realistic looking?
Any other mods you would sugest?
If i can think of anything else i will edit or post again.
EDIT!: Im trying to do this as cheap as i can!
thanks guys!!!

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
After much thought and brainstorming it occurred to me that the diff could be sliding transversely away from the input bevel gear on the main shaft.
I checked for side to side play and YES there was! A little less than a mm or so. I ran a test rig with a rubber spacer to make up for the slack and am proud to say I cannot recreate the problem! I am looking for a more permanent solution with a properly sized metal washer perhaps and then I'll have actual test run results.

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
I did a few shakedown runs today. This thing is great I love it again 
We shot a few videos, unfortunately my friend lost the 100% throttle video but I do have a 60% pass that is uploading to youtube.
After the 60% pass was the 100% pass that ended up drifting off the road and doing about 50 midair summersaults and breaking the front shock tower. Fortunately I have another spare I'm also toeing in the front end so it tracks straight better.
Tomorrow we're shooting better higher quality video in a better section of road and lots of 100% passes
Here's the 60% throttle pas 50-55 mph, it may not be up yet since youtube is still processing it!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoDjdgf5TBU
BTW keep in mind on the 100% passes we were hitting 85 mph following it (I'm in the pass seat of the real car driving the R/C). This on a battery pack that had 5 or 6 minutes run time on it!

first what esc do you have
if you have stock tires either sand them or do burnouts to loose traction
or buy drift tires
you wont need new gearing the motor should be just enough
i would recommend getting the drift tires cause faster to swap out for racing and bashing

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
Bad news!
The rear right hpi belted tire blew out at 70 mph, car got sideways and tumbled end over end to a stop. Front right control arms broken, aswell as a steering link. Not too bad for a 70 mph catastrophe.
Btw don't buy HPI belted tires, I've had nothing but bad results with these. If you're doing anything over 50 mph they'll fly apart after a couple hours of use. The "belt" inside the tire delaminates and the tires rip apart
.
I'm starting to think I've hit the limits of the TT-01 chassis' design. No matter how many upgrades there's always going to be play in the suspension pieces. At extreme high speeds this play translates into drivability and straight line tracking problems. I'm still left with an awesome drift chassis or lower speed (like under 50 mph) street basher.
On that note can anybody recommend a high performance touring car chassis that can take the high speed and power of a 3s brushless system?

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
Damn that sucks m8 []
I guess the TT just wasnt designed for those kind of speeds in the end,great to see that video tho stilll smiling now hehe
maybe check out the topline tamiyas tourers like the Trf416?
tbh i would go down the ST or buggy route for those kind of speeds for your setup your gonna need a lot of wheel height to soak up the stacks at those speeds.
Been hearing good things about the E-firestorm from HPI bro .metal tranny, BL ready, it should hit a good speed with your setup [8D]

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
ok. i've just recently gotten back into the rc scene, and stared with a tt01-d rx7. when i bought it, i also bought it with the tamiya super grip radials and the super stock rz motor. geared stock (26/61) it was a screamer, but i wanted it faster, so i got this [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJAJ2] 13x3T team orion[/link] motor and [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHSV8]esc[/link], along with a new body and aluminum prop shaft, and a new set of pinions, 22 and 23. geared 22/61, this combo is a complete dog, i could walk faster than its top speed. what happened? no grinding, no abnormal noise, no real speed. i think my battery may be shot, as its only a 1300 NiCD. also, i have a REALLY old charger, and was wondering if its specs were on par with what i'd need for todays batteries... its an mrc rb-475 quick charger, 7.2 or 8.4 volts, 4 amps, 15 minute dial timer, charge/discharge switch.

]Also that battery is quite small (1300) so power and runtime is gonna be low if sticking with nicads grab a 2400 pack more punch and better run times,or go up to nimh batterys for more power and punch.
Also that 13x3 motor should scream along is your ESC suited for a 13x3?

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
i understand needing the new spur gear, i've been trying to find one. but what i dont get, is why this setup is so much slower than the super stock rz geared 26/61. i've estimated that combo to go about 25 mph at full tilt, on drift tires. whereas, like i said, i can outwalk the 13t 22/61 combo.

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
Probally cos the standard gearing is 19/61 m8 26/61 wont work no way wont mesh ever lol
go from 19/61 to 23/58 you will need to buy the spur set (55/58) and pinions pack (22/23)
Below is the TT gear chart shows you what you can use together if you try meshing gears together that arent suppose to work together it will chew spurs up

and was wondering if its specs were on par with what i'd need for todays batteries... its an mrc rb-475 quick charger, 7.2 or 8.4 volts, 4 amps, 15 minute dial timer, charge/discharge switch.

I know if you look around you'll find other 15 minute chargers that claim they can charge nimh but I would seriously recommend against charging nimh batteries with one of those. They are very sensitive to being overcharged/overheated.
BTW I've had good luck with the Duratrax Digital Piranha, but it won't work with Lipos. If you're looking to buy Lipos in the future then you'll need to spend more for a charger that can charge them. For that many people suggest the Duratrax Ice or MRC 989.

Probally cos the standard gearing is 19/61 m8 26/61 wont work no way wont mesh ever lol
go from 19/61 to 23/58 you will need to buy the spur set (55/58) and pinions pack (22/23)
Below is the TT gear chart shows you what you can use together if you try meshing gears together that arent suppose to work together it will chew spurs up

Dang M52, you drove your TT-01 off the road at 85 mph and only broke the front shock tower?!
I had more damage than that when I slid into a curb at only about 30-35 mph...
