haha not really, more of just dust, not enough weight in car and frictional heat to cause them to smoke. but my tires do explode!:D
runnign a mamba and a 380C6L. this motors usually recommended for 1/10 stadium trucks and buggys due to the longer magnet producing more torque. But my RC10T2 is retired so I put the system into the tt-01. its geared up but theres still enough torque to get all 4 tires spinning

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
 

So what do most of you guys do with your tt-01's anyways? I intend to drift myne at least untill I get a faster motor. Anyone got pics of there cars?

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
 

Hi! Friday i finished paint job,to my TT-01D RX-7,and here is a few pic ,without front and rear lights,but tomorow , i'll be back with another set of pic.........maybe with some videos,with my son , Cristian , drifting :D ;)
my son love it.... and me too!:D:D:D

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
 

i posted my cars/ bodies on the previous page(#130). I mostly just drive and bash around parking lots and on sidewalks and sliding around obstacles. if your jsut drifting on abs or pvc tubing you don't really need a faster motor. They just dont have enough friction.

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
 

Man I wish tower would hurry up and send me my tt-01 [:@]

In the mean time I should pick up some PVC. What size do I need 2 inch? And o ya can you drift on rubber tires wrapped in electrical tape? Or would PVC be better?

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
 

yeah i two inches piping. never tired the electric tape way. i just slide on the tires themselves.

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
 

Tamiya type D drift tires,today i look for abs pipe(i have another set of rims to fit abs on it).

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
 

Cornel tried electrical tape on slick tires(on ta-04,but i think,his ta-04 is not geared for drift),drift well,....but i think abs pipe is much better.....we will see.

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
 

what do you use for cutting the pipe?

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
 

i don't decided...maybe some electric cutter,and of couse..some sand paper to finish the edges

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
 

cuz i got a 2 inch abs pipe down in my garage but i don't want to waste it
well just wondering!!!
thanks!

RE: Official Tamiya TT-01 Thread
 

I cruise around parking lots, practice drifting. I'm starting to get it down better. I recently installed a Venom racing 17t motor, and it's pretty fun. I have some drift tires and some grippy tires too. If I knew anyone else besides my college counselor, whom builds RC cars, I'd love to race and stuff, but until then, it's just something to do! I'm always buying upgrades, hop ups, new tires, rims, whatever else I can find to make them better. :}
