For the TL-01 chassis you will need:
A bearing set
and
Carbon fibre prop shaft
For the TT-01 chassis you will need:
A bearing set
and
Alloy prop shaft
The bearings are almost an essiential upgrade, it will make your transmission alot smoother because there is less friction. This will also mean an increase in speed and run times. The bearings replace the plastic bushings already on the car.
The prop shaft upgrades are for when you install a faster motor. The stock plastic shaft can not hadle alot of power and a better prop shaft will give you more reliability.
Basic fast electrics for both the TT-01 and TL-01:
Novak XRS ESC
This electronic speed controller controls the speed at which your motor is running at. It can take a 15 Turn motor, basically the lower the turn the faster the motor.
Orion Element V2 Motor
This motor is 19T but will still be very quick and because of it radical design (see the cool green heatsink end of it) it is longer wearing before needing a skim or brush change.
Msuk 7.2V 3300mah Nimh Battery
This battery is a budget model but will still provide good power and runtimes, however if your budget is bigger there are plenty of better batteries on the market.
Ripmax Vari-pulse charger
This charger will charge almost anything and has variable charge rates for all different kinds of batteries. It will do up to 8 cells, ni-cad or ni-mh, fast and slow charge and will work off 12V or the mains.
TT01 gearing options
Explanation:
Here's the possible pinions and spurs that fit a TT01, and the motor mounting holes you'll need to get the right mesh, that won't strip the gears.
The numbers in the middle of the chart are the Final Drive Ratio, the amount of times the motor turns for one revolution of the wheel.
Lower FDR's mean more top speed, higher FDR's mean more acceleration.
In general, when you fit a faster motor, you fit a lower FDR. Fit a slower motor and you need a higher FDR. That doesn't take into account the space you've got to run the car in, so smaller areas mean a lower FDR as you're not going to be able to reach the top speed with a high FDR, so its always a balance of top speed and acceleration that match the motor and the area.
I hope this helps a few people
maybe it can be made a sticky
