And the TT01 uses 16 bearings, the TL01 uses 24 bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger906 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 i got a little tip, DO NOT grease any thing other than the diff, regardless of what the insturctions say. It works in theory in the designers nice clean dust free environment. but add dust and grit to grease and you have a nice sandpaper mixture, that plus plastic= wearage my dad used to always tell me things run better dry and grease free (he knows his stuff as he used to be a numatics engineer and someother guff and his company he used to own built and fitted all the cooling and air systems in the channel tunnel ) but i used to think he was wrong (like you do when ur younger) and that the manufacturers would know better. but after a few uses i looked at my tt01 at the bits it tells u to grease like the axels and cups, and they are quite warn with lots of grease and dirt stuck to it. adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnersRC Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Got my bearings and they look excellent and feel quality, also got a few Alloy parts and a new motor. I am thinking a complete strip and rebuild, now obviously on my first time, i greased according to the manual, i am thinking of soaking all my plastic parts and cleaning them all up and then only replacing the grease on the diffs and the sealed boxes, such as spur gear and the back and front box assembly. Obviously, as Badger said, metal + dirt, grit and gravel spinning inside plastic = wear. Yay or nay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger906 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 yay i used my tt01 in a car park which had a lot of loose grit, stripped my car after i snapped it in half front and back lol 3 peices and looked and all the diff cups were worn, along with the stock dog bones adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnersRC Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Its rebuilt now, i only greased the diffs. Haven't run it yet, you know the reason but i hope to soon, i got a great deal on a mitroniks ESC, battery and charger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Motorsport Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Don't buy aluminium hubs/wheel shafts as they will bend and are useless. I'm now considering titanium ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweasel Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hello folks.Im new to this forum and the crazy world of R/C Cars. I've indulged in a TT 01,got bearings on order and intend to get the 'shaft. I won't be using the Scooby body (any offers?) as I intend to use a Bowler. Motors.I'd like to go brushless with suitable ESC, and also off road tyres,Mud terrain type. I would also want suitable gearing for off road. Any suggestions? Where can I get the tyres from please.I'm looking forward to this project. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger906 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 id seriously consider a stronger chassis if ur going to be doing a little off road. iv broken 2 of the un breakable bath tub chassis by doing little more than racing over a few bumps lol. the weak point is the diff caseing wear it splits. i maybe the only one with this issue. but thats my 2p worth adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbdave Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Can anyone recommend replacement shocks i have ballraced my chassis and got an alloy main shaft i've looked om ebay etc for shocks there's several choices and prices so any recommendations??

Dirty Electro Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) Can anyone recommend replacement shocks i have ballraced my chassis and got an alloy main shaft i've looked om ebay etc for shocks there's several choices and prices so any recommendations?? For just messing about then go for the CVA mini shock from Tamiya, they are cheap and easily rebuildable plus they do the job. The alloy ones from 3Racing, yeah Racing etc are next up due to the ease of tuning them plus they last a bit longer and they are cheap to buy/ replace. Finally go for the TRF dampers also from Tamiya, I'm running them on my TT01R and they are light, very well made have stacks of tuning options and having tried all of the above, none do the job as well as the TRF's. Only downside is the price but you get what you pay for, well worth it. Edited May 5, 2009 by Dirty Electro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it hits the deck you think "one of these days it will snap" - have a closer look and its all still fine! Having said that, anyone got any suggestions of parts to change to aluminium that are likely to break if i leave them plastic and accidentally cant stop myself going airborne?

I've changed the gearbox covers for alloy ones from GPM, still not managed to break them. Also you could try the TT01E conversion trick which seperates the shock towers from the gearbox casing's, If you snap either part you can then replace it rather than having to buy the whole lot as with the standard TT01. As a nice extra the TT01E has 2 different shock mountings, not massive adjustability but it all helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Electro Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Ok, so where do I look for the conversion kit? Basically you need the A and D parts from the TT01E, this will give you the new gearbox covers and shock towers with 2 top shock mounting options. The part numbers are: 51318 x 2 Tamiya TT01E A parts - Uprights 51319 x 1 Tamiya TT01E D parts - Upper Deck You need 2 of the A parts cos each sprue only has 1 gearbox casing etc , plus you'll get a load of usefull spares into the bargain I've had a look on Modelsports site but no joy??? Just type in the part numbers etc into google and I'm sure you'll find your way, however this is a popular mod so dont be surprised if you have to order from japan or USA.

Oneds Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Newbie Question, I've had a TT-01, the 2007 Subaru with LED's, (I haven't fitted the LED's because that seemed a bit pointless in terms of adding weight.) for a couple of years now. Does someone provide a complete upgrade kit? All have at the moment is a ball race set which I got when I brought the car. Ideally I'd like a set that deals with the handling & steering as well as strenghting the drive train & chassis in one go. Not looking at an ESC & motor yet but will probably go for a 19T at some point, so pinion/gbox/diff & shaft will need to be able to handle it. Sorry if this is old ground, I just like to get it done in one go rather than hunt around and compare endless hop up parts from different suppliers.

TiM! Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hi and welcome to the forum. Carson do an upgrade kit for the TT01.... http://www.goldstarstockists.com/tamiyaparts/tpx/tt01tuneup.htm Hope it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneds Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) Thanks for that, not as complete as I'd like but a good starter This seems a bit more show than go but was more of the complete package I was looking for. http://cgi.ebay.com/...=item58855aa166 If I added a motor mount, gearing & diff set to this plus an upper chassis brace that would be more of what I'm after.

Dirty Electro Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Just by the parts seperatly, thats what most people do 3 racing do a complete alloy set, it's on RC Mart. Thats worth a look but it is more bling than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
