if you got to practice alot it wouldn't be a problem, the tt-01 can practically handle it with a few of aluninum parts in it for added weight,
you part of groovydrift? where you race at?

yay, a fellow drifter

Thats what im running in my TT01 right now, its an awsome set up both for raceing and drifting. You should be fine with it, just make sure you gear it right.

Ok, from what you said Slim it sounds like you should know And £50 is an okay price? It sounds good but its not exactly the best known make...and i can keep the stock gears right? Thanks for all the help guys, also the car is for bashing and drifting. I will try and get some pics up soon when i have my new bodyshell.

xxSLiMxx

Im not sure what that works out to be canadian, but i only payed $80.00 for the ESC/Motor 9T combo. Your right its not really a "known" brand but it dose awsome in a TT01. Iv been useing mine for about a year now and never had a problem. Stock gearing will work good, you can even go a little higher and keep the temps in the safe zone.

SpeedstaBrad

Thanks mate, that really helps. And i love the look of your car, when i scrolled back through the forums i saw that and your real life Civic. I will probably order it now so it should arrive in about 10 days from hong kong. £50 = $89 CANADIAN DOLLARS. So mine will cost a little more but thats fine.

Good luck dude, Make sure to get some pictures of yours posted up!!

I am searching for a motor mount mod for the Tamiya TT-01. I have a full range of Tamiya pinion gears in my tool box and instead of me purchasing some new set of pinion for this kit, I'd rather use my current spares.

Now my question is, is there any motor mount where you can use virtually all Tamiya specific pinions from 19T and over without the need to change spur gears. Are there any available mods for this ?

I am raising this question as I have a Yokomo MR4TC and I can use different 48 pitch pinion gears from 19T and over.

Any help will be appreciated.

There is no way to mod the TT-01 and use 48 pitch gears in the stock form. You would HAVE to get the 3Racing chasis upgrade, which I did. I am actually using 64 pitch gears 65 spur 39 pinion.

Do you have a link to where one can get that Civic body? I like it.

xxSLiMxx

I got mine from ebay. They are very hard to get tho. It took me about 4 moths to find one and i payed an arm/leg for mine. Tamiya makes them well they did up untill 1994. Try searching "Tamiya EG Civic Body" or something along thos lines! Good luck in your search.

Hi guys, just started upgrading my TT-01d and was after some advice. I see that GPM make alloy arms for the tt-01 and adjustable for the tt-01d, is the adjustment needed for drifting or would the fixed ones be good enough? My concern was mabye the adjustable ones will get sloppy and create the same probs as the stock ones...
Any advice will be appreciated.
Cheers

xxSLiMxx

IMO fixed ones will do just fine. Altho some guys like to beable to adjust the camber for a bit better steering, but its nothing that a few hours of pratice cant fix.

Bob076

Thanks for the advise on the arms xxSLIMxx, will order the standard arms. 1 more question for now, I also want to order a good steering set. I was looking at the GPM set but not sure if it comes with bearings or bushes. Is this a good set and do I need to order bearings seperate, if so what size and where do I get them from.

Cheers

xxSLiMxx

They do come with the bearing set.

Man, im back and im still waiting on that ezrun 9t brushless to come through the door :/ Hopefully will be here this week one day, slim i need the gpm motor mount for brushless don't i? Thanks

xxSLiMxx

Nope, the stock plastic one will work. With the GPM one tho its has heatsink fins to cool it down and it wont warp if it gets too hot. Its a good upgrade to have.

SpeedstaBrad

Ok, i have ordered a cheap one from hong kong anyway. But i am not gonna wait for that to arrive before i install brushless now. I've decided on turning Mr Brushless into a drifter. Because i already have my racer.

xxSLiMxx

Brushless is awsome for drifting...add some hpi drift tires and you'll have some fun!! Get some pics posted once you get it all installed.

SpeedstaBrad

Will do, i am gonna use some hidden agenda drift tyres as i have two sets, journey and teknika, look them up on youtube if you don't know them. Never used them before but they sound good. Thanks for all the help and pictures will come, can't say when but shouldn't be to long.

SIRCC

HEY, Slim are you coming to the states anytime soon. Got a tamiya / hpi tournament coming up. the details are in the works, could use your help.
