DR.Jan Itor Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Bez i have to say Awesome guide, My question is I have the Ezrun 8.5T and i want to know what gears are best to put on it for the TT-01 thats spur/and pinion gears. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-BEZ- Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 ideally for drifting you want a FDR of about 6.5, the closet to this with a TT01 is a 58 Spur and 23T pinion but you will find a 8.5t too pokey for drifting on plastic/resin tyres, so you would be better off running the tamiya type-d rubber drift tyres. Or get a 10.5T to 17T motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zardoz Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Awesome, thanks for that. Ordered a few parts now for the build... but just found out the TT-01E kit I ordered is out of stock. Hopefully back in a week, fingers crossed as I really want the Datsun 240z shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zardoz Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Bez, just wanted to mention that my TT-01E kit only came with friction dampers. "TT01E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalin4u24 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 My TT-01E came with friction dampers as well Great guide by the way, was my source of inspiration Thanx for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zardoz Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Did you get a set of oil dampers then, catalin4u24? Which did you go for? Might as well order some now while I'm building mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petercarp1976 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 About to start drifting and have moved from Buggy racing over to drifting with the legend that is TT01. I have had one made for me by a drifter with 25 years experience so i know i am getting a goodun but this thread is brilliant for me advancing the rig myself. Well done mat and keep them coming.

Rc211v Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Anybody know what size the screws are for the 2 screws that attach the diff cases to each end of the chassis at the top where the shock tower is? Had the car apart and 2 of them have disappeared. The Missus knows nothing about where they've gone of course > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like http://rpcracing.co.uk/en/order?ipa=411Might be worth doing since you will have spares also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-BEZ- Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 be careful using machine type screws as the pitch is really fine, and it makes it very easy to strip the plastic out. A picture is alot easier to know exactly which screws you are talking about ........ But if its the ones I'm thinking about you can always drill thru and use (if memory serves, it might be 35mm ) a 30mm m3 bolt and nut to secure the shock tower the the top of the bulkhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colicab Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Whats the best way to reduce the "heavy arse" effect. Weights? Am using Adjustable Front Arms, and they seem to help me go in to a drift, but holding it im finding hard. Do the diffs make the difference as im still kinda using stock touring car setup ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombiedrift7 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Wheel weights up front mate. Lock your rear diff and get a front one way diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teshi Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Use thinner oil on your rear shocks and softer springs. That should make it a little less responsive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc211v Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 How do I set the rear toe? I already got toe out on my front wheels. Should it work better with toe in or out at the rear? Toe in on the rear for stability mate. You can get rear hubs quite cheap on eBay that have 2 degrees on toe in. I would link you but I'm on my phone at work. I'll post a link later on if nobody else does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc211v Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Found the diff screws in the end Got my new chassis on Friday and built it up (pics to follow) Took it out for a few minutes today and I like it, feels a lot more solid. Its spinning too easily though, is this because there's too much weight at the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
