RX7-FD Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 i couldn't fit the ball joints to the 1st holes (the further one) on the front knuckles because the holes are shaped like curved triangles, any help on this? 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...

danb1974 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 You could have gotten a better tamiya chassis for that money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Hey, i'm a complete beginner to rc drifting (and rc in general), with no knowledge whatsoever. I thought it would be the smartest thing to start basic, after a couple of days of googling I think a TT01ED (kit) is not the worst choice. I'm just not entirely sure if I should go for a D or ED, any ideas? Thanks in advance. Edited October 24, 2013 by m4inbrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaine83 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I got the ED and a few hopups like the alloy drive shaft.I don't regret it one bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanRS Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hi would this motor esc combo be good for drifting Speed Passion Reventon-S ESC 2S Comp V3.0-10.5R Combo or do i need a higher turn motor like a 13.5 t because they all cost the same thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahammc2111 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Hi guys, Really enjoyed reading this from start to finish. I am a newbie to the world of rc and i have just aquired a tt01 but i do have a question or two. I have just ordered a ally prop shaft and the two connetors that the shaft sits in as i dont have the front one. Could someone please post a picture of what should be on the front is it 2 bearings and then the cog ? I have also ordered a full set of bearings for this two and i intend to lock the rear diff up later today. Many thanks Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also ordered a full set of bearings for this two and i intend to lock the rear diff up later today. Many thanks Graham Have just done the same and joined up... im running an 8 year old tt-01 chassis which i gave away to a family member years ago. Didn't realise i would be able to make it slide. Ive bought a few mods, HPI Drift tyres, ballrace kit, new sensorless motor, esc, lip battery and new charger. and also a locked rear diff. its amazing how many mods you can get for this chassis. but i do wonder why when you can buy a more capable chassis for the same kind of money. thanks for the advice ill definitely be using it and cant wait to get my car sliding. I attended a test night at a local RC drift track and its safe to say im hooked! ha ha. Graham. I had my chassis stripped and cleaned over the last few days and put it back together again last night and remember the front diff having a bearing, then a plastic spacer (same size as the bearing) then another bearing and the cog. ill try attaching a pic but im new so not sure if im able.

JamboV6 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) Im looking for some wide angle drive shafts for the front but the only ones i can find in the uk are the 3racing swing shafts but have read reviews saying they are only good for 40degree max, really like the look of the active hobby AC432 http://banzaihobby.com/active-hobby-ac423-sals but these are out of stock everywhere. Ive found these http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/3Racing-Adjustable-Universal-Shaft-Drive-Joint-RC-1-10-Sakura-D3-CS-XIS-Parts-/331532598033?nav=WATCHING_ACTIVE which could possibly be modified to fit, they are for the sakura, does anybody know whether they might work with a bit of modding or are the sakura cups, pins, stub shafts totally different sizes? if not any suggestions would be great. thanks Edited September 10, 2015 by JamboV6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Try hobbyking, they had some tamiya steering parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboV6 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 They have the active hobby adjustable ones but it says they are for a tt02, will they fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Not sure to be honest, but after reading a lot of stuff about front end mods for the tt01 it won't end with just the shafts. Some change to mst knuckles (about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboV6 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I bought the car 2nd hand a few years ago and it came with loads of 3racing alloy upgrades, its just the front stock shafts are dead and need replacing regardless so thought id put some better ones on to allow me to mod the steering and gain more angle, i dont use it that much so not going silly on it, ive got a HPI Firestorm for that :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyriakos Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hello dear friend and I would like to thank you for your amazing post! I would like to ask you if you ever tried to change the plastic gear spur with the 64T metal HSP spur gear? Is it possible? BRs, Kyriakos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A well meshed plastic one will be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
