TMaxxDave Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 So my ESC finally decided to turn up from China For £11.99 inc postage it was worth the 4 week wait. I cant run the car yet. Ive loaned my hub carriers to another member so he may race this weekend. Sent from my Galaxy S5 Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMaxxDave Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 So today i got round to soldering a battery connector onto my 1060 and stuck it in the car. After some messing around with the controller settings its finally running well with the torque motor. Now just waiting on front hub carriers.

TMaxxDave Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Centralised the steering servo after it wasnt right. Also adjusted the turnbuckles and refitted the hub carriers and got the car back in almost one piece. And wonders how many people wander into this part of the forum to read this?

Pteppic Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) I suspect like me those of us who also own, run and enjoy the TB-01! I have a pair (both brushless) 1 with the long arm suspension kit installed. They are by far my most used Rally car runner (although that may switch back to my XV-01 once it's new shell is complete). Also bought and setup one for a friend and it visits occasionally for maintenance, last visit was new ESC and Rx.

TMaxxDave Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 i LOVE the TB-01 keeping mine brushed for the moment, brushless killed it last time. id like the long arm kit, but it commands silly money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pteppic Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I chewed one spur gear when I first went Brushless (10.5T), but after replacement and alloy motor mount all has been good. Only other bit needed was a rear suspension arm that got ripped off by a raised manhole cover! Car has survived 4 barrel rolls and at least 3 cartwheels with only scratches to the shell - in my opinion the best feature of the TB-01 is it being close to indestructable!

TMaxxDave Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 The only issue mine has had with brushless was that it stripped out the internal part of the rear input gear with the alloy prop. But now I've changed back to steel gears with an GPM alloy prop, so hopefully it will be able to handle brushless a lot better, but for now I'll be sticking with brushed Sent from my iPad Air using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMaxxDave Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Well, having recently purchased a Levant which shares the same chassis as this, I decided to take all the nice shiny bits out of this and donate them into the Levant, so it’s now missing the GPM prop, and front and rear diff crown wheels and pinion gears. The Levant pinion gears are smaller than the TB01 ones, so I’m expecting the TB01 to be damn quick off the mark when I actually get round to running it again.

Only4Fun Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I bought this on Thursday. I haven't got it yet, but it comes with the driver/cockpit set, unpainted, and also the chassis cover unpainted. Apparently it's only been used 5 times on road and then spent the rest of it's life on a shelf. I'm looking forward to receiving it. I will probably keep it stock as it is quite rare now, but I will run it now and again . I'm also in the middle of restoring an XV-01 chassis and I'm going to use a Subaru Impreza WRC 2008 body from my TT-01E on it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMaxxDave Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Well. After a few issues with the Levant. The Tb01 is back to running its own GPM gear and diffs once again. Love this car. No matter how much I tinker and play around with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only4Fun Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 That's good news mate. I got mine and it was so much better than the photos depicted on Ebay. It is practically mint. I painted the driver set and put it on the shelf because I don't want to spoil it lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
