Default B1G's Tamiya TT-01 (now with video)

So I was working on a deal for a TT-01D, the price was amazing but the deal went south and I figured I would see what I could find floating around on eBay unfortunately no D-spec ones where listed but there was this used RTR TT-01 going for a low amount so I figured I would try my luck.... I ended up wining the auction for $65 and after what seems like forever it is finally here:



Comparison shot...

1:10 TT-01
1:18 ProPulse
1:28 92mm Mini-Z chassis
1:28 XMOD

Monster size difference...




Full time AWD chassis.



23T Tamiya Super Stock Type-RR motor



Graphite cross bar



Alloy drive shaft



Futaba 2 Channel RX 75MHz



Duratrax AC/DC Pirhanna charger



2 sets of Venom 3000mah NiMh batteries



2 sets (1 new, 1 very very used) of ABS drift tires.

It has a Porsche body on it that is in fairly decent condition and a Mitsubishi body that is trashed.

Futaba T2PH 75MHz TX.

It was missing the body clips but otherwise is good to go, I used 1:18 ProPulse clips to set it up until I buy some replacement ones.

I've heard that the Venom battery packs aren't wonderful so I'd like to upgrade those at some point, ideally I would like to go to liths but as that will require buying a new charger I'll just have to deal for the time being, the second pack may be going into my ProPulse.

It has the soft rubber tires installed at the moment but I'd like to move towards drifting, I'm going to go for a few basic upgrades like bearings, graphite chassis, allow, etc, but that will all be as time and money allows.

Let me know what you think

ouch thats a bit too much, all of mine use 8, well i should be getting my rc18 today and lets see how many that needs... you can always throw in some TX batteries, or buy some, i know some places sell them and you recharge it through the remote
try these:
http://www.hobbypeople.net/prdcls/battr01.asp

yea mine might take a while, too many things to decide from, should i get a $500 2.4ghz or a $400 2.4 ghz or a $50 2.4 ghz? should i get a Novak BL system or a CC system.. what servo to buy... i think i might go nuts or my head might explode before i finish it

Looks nice BIG. For the batteries I would for sure recommend orion. I have a 5100mah battery and it does really good. Very reliable and just a all around good battery. When you go to upgrade your charger I would say get a duratrax onyx charger. I have one and it does everything from lipos,lion,nimh,nicd,and I think 2 more. If you go lith go brushless

You should get a mustang body lol.

Anyway looks great whats the major differences between the TT-01 and the TT-01D?

The Duratrax Onyx was the charger I was going to get.
Definitely going to go lith and brushless!!

Working on something special for the body but most likely it will be a Mustang

A long long long long time ago I owned a Nitro 1:10 Mini Cooper I gave it to someone to sell for me and they ended up screwing me over I wish I still had it so this kinda makes up for that... so this is my second 1:10....

Thats the one... I have the drift tires but that's about it, I'm going to get the bearings and shocks a few alloy parts, maybe I'll look for a roller tt-01D....

OK still figuring out the charger, it seems pretty intelligent allows you to program in 3 different packs of different types NiCd / NiMh, different MAh etc... then takes about 10 minutes to charge the pack to full which gives maybe 20 minutes of run time... I need to find the instructions because I feel like I should be getting more from these packs.

Here are 3 quick crappy videos of my driving the car in my kitchen:

1 of 3 drifting in a small space

OK I have the ABS drift tires fitted for this run, as you can see fairly early on one of them isn't fitted correctly as it comes flying off from then on I just drive around without getting any real drifting going....

YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.


2 of 3 drifting in a small space

Switched to the soft compound grip tires for this run.
Got a bit of drifting, mostly just attacking the cats and going round and round in circles but a few times (probably not on camera) I managed to pull the nose out of the spin and start sliding.

NEED MORE SPACE!!!

YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.


3 of 3 drifting in a small space

Well at the end of the last video I wiped out the cats water bowls so on this run despite the better camera angle I couldn't get any grip due to a wet floor

Will have to get it out for a burn when the snow melts!!

YouTube Video
ERROR: If you can see this, then YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed.


As you can see I need a lot more space and practice to actually get a drift going but at least the cats liked it!!

How solid of a base do you think this car is? I'm wanting to build an all out lipo/brushless top speed car and just trying to find a decent platform. I have 4 tamiya F1 cars but they are RWD and very hard to drive with even mildly modded motors. I think they are the ta01 chassis, cant remember right now but thats irrelevant to my question.

the friend that gave me the TT-01 has a running one with the CC sidewinder 4600kv system, all he has as an upgrade is the body, rims/tires, and the alum center shaft, and it runners great, he's flipped it many many times, he's gone through 3 bodies, and not one thing has broken, except a few wheel nuts

There is an ebay store doing custom painted bodies that are really nice, I'm in talks with them right now to try and sort out a Mustang shell.

Seems pretty solid, plus you can buy the tubs for nothing I guess the problem is getting gears that wont melt and crack under that sort of stress.
