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.

I run a TT-01 and it run nice but i did not put the flimsy plasti
shocks on i used the oiled filed ones of my M-roadster and used th
balled raced bearings i had from my nitro car witch unfortunately hit
kearb @ full throttle totaling it , but as it shares the same parts
saved what i could from the chassis and used on me electric , ia
thinking of buying a new motor for it now but can't decide from a 20t
21t or a 28t any one know witch one would give me good acceleration o
the line and better speed then the stock 540 :

Take it to a club event and ask, it's hard to diagnose remotely, but
very easy when you've got it in your hands.  First off though, is it
grinding when you turn the drivetrain with it in your hands, or just
when it's on the ground?  If it's doing it in your hands, pop the
drive belts off and rotate the front and rear diffs independently,
then the centre pulley, to start narrowing it down.
