Tim's New TT-01.
 

Hey guys,
After a LOT of research and reading. I decided to get a tt-01. IT will be my Drifter. I will let pics speak for now.

Later T.I.M

nice car man! where is the best place to get tamiya tt01/tl01 parts?
i cant find anywhere that has any....

Check out RCmart.

Just a FYI guys. I bought this car as a kit. meaning I built it. Also the body cuttings+paint+decals, all done by me. It took me 2 weeks to get it done.

More pics:

Who can guess which electronics will go in it:D The answer has to do with 2.4 Ghz....

ALL C&C welcome!

very badass...i have wanted one as well for awhile...nice score

Very nice tim, i like!

Nice!

I had one of those awhile back but I sold it and I wish I had it now. Only mine was the XB built kind and I got for like 160 at my LHS. The Veltins A-4 DTM.

Drift it?!?

Why not Rally it!?

Good job on the paint and decals. Really good job.

The whole thing looks real sharp dude!!

Other than the 2.4GHz what sort of motor setup are you going to run???

No chassis pics? Boo!

what scale are these cars?

Thanks man. I suggest checking out www.driftercentral.com before you buy a drift RC.

Thanks man

Thanks man. lol

I am getting a Novak SLydr ESC combined with a 6.5T BL motor...;)


Patience is a virtue....;)
They are 1/10th.

Hmm, it looks lovely. i'd kill for some night time shots of those lights though. Maybe even a drifting video hmm? (winkwink... nudgenudge?)

Ewww get rid of those Tamiya connectors and get some deans plugs or even the TRX high current connectors.. you'll notice a big difference. I did on my Slash.

I haven't ever really been much into a drift R/C scene before because there is no where here to do it, but how hard would it be to lift one of those up and rally it?

I've been wanting to build a kit for a long time, and it seems with some recent happenings it will be quite a while before I get to. Looks great man, and some videos of it in action would be cool.

very easy. lots of people do it.

sweet ride tim! but why didnt you buy the drift spec out of curiousity? im lovin the body ;)

Sweet TT-01 Tim! Looks more rally styled than drifter. Like the others said I wanna see those lights in the night!

soon....;)

Yeah, I will once I get my new electronics. These ones heat up a LOT
No need, you can just get rally kits.
Videos soon.

Not possible to control with so much mower in such little room.
BTW, this vid was taken BEFORE the locking of the diff. That's why it spins out so much...

Finally have some time to work on this.

I got some parts while I was on vacation in Malaysia.

The rear buckets are meant to hold only one 5mm LED each. SO I had to do some drilling...
