Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / May 2008Tamiya TT-01 chassis
Has anyone tried out or have any thoughts or input on the Tamiya TT-01 chassis. I'm thinking of getting the Subaru WRC rally car based on that chassis and would like to get more information on it, but I can't really find a whole lot on the net about it. Any information would be great and if anyone can compare it to a TL-01 chassis, that would be even better. I had a TL-01 so I know how they are, etc. >Has anyone tried out or have any thoughts or input on the Tamiya TT-01 >chassis.

I had a TL-01 so I know how they are, etc. I think they are comparable, as they race in the same class in the euro cup (stock class). The tt01 has a bathtub chassis, which is better if you plan to race off-road. And the ESC seems to be a bit better then the mechanical one of the TL01. > Has anyone tried out or have any thoughts or input on the Tamiya TT-01 > chassis.

I had a TL-01 so I know how they are, etc. My friens recently bought one, and they are ok, but I can see my old Ta03-f is faster. His is geared one pinion size bigger than mine, and he has a brand new mabuchi. I am running a 3 year old mabuchi, and on the straights I am definitely a bit faster. AFAIK (and as far as I could see, but I didn't check very hard) there is not much that can be adjusted in terms of camber/caster etc.  SignatureQUIPd 1.02: (390 of 679) -> ....I was married to Bill for three months and I didn't know -> he drank until one night he came home sober. My photo albums: http://www.pbase.com/sny The TT-01 is great for someone just wanting to run around a parking lot, but it suffers a little in durability. The main problem I found was that the suspension arms are held on by plastic "pins" molded onto the sides of the suspension arms rather than using a hinge pin. It doesn't take much of a hit to shear those plastic pins off > Has anyone tried out or have any thoughts or input on the Tamiya TT-01 > chassis.

I had a TL-01 so I know how they are, etc. We race TT-01's in a separate class here in Cape Town South Africa. We are limited to run Johnson 540 motors, 24/25 pinions and 55 spurs, 1500 batteries and rubber 33V tyres. Although it isn't the fastest class out there, it is one of the most popular and most competitive classes in the club. We also have "Out-the-box" (TL-01's and TAO3's), TT-01 class, Open Stock, Formula One, Tamiya Open and Super stock. Our TT class is actually faster than the TL-o1's and TA-O3's. With regards to the TT-O1 being weak. Yes, plastic parts do break, bt given the amounts of smashes we have and the amount of new spares needed, I personally don't feel it's an issue. (Here in SA you can buy the whole of "Frame A" for the TT for R70.00 which equates to $10.00. And Frame A gives you a third of the car. All in all our TT class is growing and growing and I would suggest it to any and everyone. > The TT-01 is great for someone just wanting to run around a parking lot, but > it suffers a little in durability.

I had a TL-01 so I know how they are, etc. I'm gonna do a build on one, using a lot of red anodized aluminum allo parts. And I think it may help you on this one. It's running me almos $375 for upgrades, but it doesn't look like I'll be breaking much soon you can check it out, it's in this same catergory. I started it aroun 9:45 PM PST I think I titled it TT-01 build. Hope this helps -- jp2weloveyo |
