oh and sweet ride bwalker, love the black

Rare

The guy at you LHS wasnt very clear with you eh? Just make sure the asphalt is smooth...even little pebbles can chunk up the foams easily.

thanks everyone, i might put my $$$ motor in the tt01 and see if we can do some crazy drifting with that

I am trying to get my dad (dudelive) to get the parma 61 chevy impala body for his tt01 so we can drift and have a vintage drifting thing

Rare

Cool! I didnt know dudelive was your dad..........Cool!!!

bwalker25

well I just toasted a spur gear in my tt01 hmmm maybe the $$$ motor was to much ? hmmmm it was geared 19/61 so hmmm it should've been alright, it was super fast....only for a couple minutes though time to upgrade

RiCeY

You really have to be carefull with the hipo motors. You cant just hit full throttle from standstill you have to ease the power on the go full throttle. Also be easy on the braking.

Rare

Yup, or youll get tranny soup

bwalker25

any way to make the tranny stronger?

Rare

Not really. Its a real simple tranny though. Just make sure you grease it real well and use good quality grease. You have BB in the front and rear tranny too?

Dudelive

You might want to consider the changing of that motor with another one which won't destroy your stuff. I know you will get carried away and forget about being easy on the throttle and then back to the shop for repairs again. Find the limitations of a product and either make it stronger or stay just under that limit. Which in this case seems as though a different motor....sorry.

I bet you were on cloud nine till it gave up though.....LOL

Thanks

Still looking for the motor, and preety much decided that i'm going to get the Tamiya Sport Tuned motor...























Thing is way fun to drift/drive...i'm in love with it..lol

Rare

Ahhhh! I love seeing TT-01 pics! Car is a classic man!

I think its time for me to finish my TT-01 and post some pics[>:]

bwalker25

hmmm when I look at your tires I think mines are worn way out! how many runs do you get on those ABS tires before you need to change them? I think I have like 15-20 runs on mine and they are starting to have alot of grip on them my TT-01 is now sidelined until I can get new spur gears any suggestions ? I think I might put my green machine in it, would the stock 19t gear work for this?

Dude_GSR

lol thanks dudes, i only have one or two runs on those tires, because i can only drift it at my dad's house or at the park thats like a mile down the road from my mom's, because the roads are way to busy where my mom lives to drift...one mistake and your car is run over lol..but my rubber tires are still getting preety worn down...so i can drift with them if needed...

Hey People,
Almost finished my TT-01, no limit esc 11t motor. After fixing the servo to the steering,(aluminium steering set) the servo makes
a buzzing sound when turning left and right.I have tried it without connecting it to the steering and it doesn't make any buzzing.What would cause this? Would I be right in saying that the servo is struggling and isn't powerfull enough[&o]

thanks for listening

Rare

Wich servo are you using?

jimmbeam72

Hi,
It's an Acoms AS-16 servo.

Rare

Never heard of it, but its normal for the servo to make a noise when rotating. Whats the specs on that servo?

xflames

hey guys i got pinion 25T ans spur 55T, but cant make them fit on my tt-01. i got team orion method 17T
btw what does it mean by 0.4 pinion? i saw some with 0.6.


thank

Rare

Thats the diameter of the hole on the pinion. You have to get the same size diameter as the shaft on the motor. You shouldnt have any problems getting that spur to mount...as long as you bought the one made for the TT-01

xflames

I tried few position and it cant be fit with the spur. a lot of space between the pinon and spur.

i bought those:

thanks

Rare

So, you got the pinion on the motor than? Ok...what position did you mount the motor on the motor mount? A,B,C,D? 25/55 you need to mount in the A position and if that dont work just try mounting in different positions...how many mounting holes your motor got?

xflames

i got 4 holes.

xflames

I tried A,B,C,D position, but still not working.
