Tamiya TT-01 R Chassis Kit

[TheMoffBoy]

steering tie rod is wrong way pal.

[aravindhanveeramani]

can anyone tell me which is the best r/c drift company???? tamiya or anything better than that???

[habababa6]

how much is it to buy one of those

[orci77]

@habababa6 A kit is between 100-150€. If you want a complete set (remote control, batteries and charger) you have to think about 350€. Could be cheaper with a RTR set but less quality.

[PanCakePB]

@orci77 im new to rc i was gonna get a timiya but it dosnt come with a remote and baterries how can i hook up a remote and hw much does a remote usaly run for

[orci77]

@PanCakePB If you are searching for a remote control be sure to go for a 2,4GHz one. The beginner version are now quite cheap, maybe Spektum D2S. And get 1-2 Lipos with a charger that has an integrated balancer.

[PanCakePB]

@orci77 i found that hpi e10 is like 150 rtr should i get that and what upgrades are good for a first car

[orci77]

@PanCakePB I wouldnt buy an HPI. In Germany it is hard to get spare parts and they are expensive. You get Tamiya and especially TT-01 parts on every corner. What to do depends and what you want to do. Are you sure you like this hobby? Do you want to do it a little more serious? Get a Tamiya TA05 with extra electronics. If not get a RTR BUT be aware that maybe you have to rebuy everything if it gets more serious.

[PanCakePB]

@orci77 i live in the us and im planing to stick to one rc car thats rtr until that one completey is fucked up a kid so i wont have the money even if it gets "serious"

[orci77]

@littleps3dude The "R" is a special kit from Tamiya available for nearly any type of chassis. Therefore I cannot really say. But I would guess the hop ups are 50-100€.

Replace parts if the wear out or break. You could put much money into TT-01 hop ups. At the end you payed maybe more than a TRF 416 costs.

[Itsnowpersonal]

could a beignner do this?

and can you put different body styles on the chassis?

do they come painted or do you have to paint it?

[unit2135532]

can u fit any body from different suppliers (Tamiya, HPI, Losi) on just one chassis?

[orci77]

@unit2135532 As long as the body respects the wheel base and width of the chassis, yes. The Tamiya chassis are normaly 185mm wide. HPI and others offer 190mm bodies so you have to extend the wide with spacers for example.

[unit2135532]

@orci77 oh i understand now thanx!

[JBilly]

Hi, do you know what is the top TT-01R speed?

[orci77]

@JBilly That totally depends on the motor you build in. I think from a chassis point of view it is somewhere around 50km/h.

[JBilly]

@orci77 well, I mean the brand new "out the box" kit...

[orci77]

@JBilly With the GT Tuned 25T motor ich would guess around 30km/h.

[fabi45828]

nice!

[reknios]

How many mm are those body shells cause look quite larger than the car

[orci77]

190mm are the bodies. The car has 185mm as kit but could be made wider.

[reknios]

there are some wheels that are for those situations

[orci77]

Wheels, wheel adapter or wheel axles. Three possible solutions.

[kareempishdadi]

I baught the TT-01E to maxxah,

[meldrian]

the tt-01 is cheap. no need to buy the 2nd hand tt-01. tt-01 is excelent for drift and touring. and item is so much easy to buy and look for.

[rcoffroads]

do you want to sale that

[orci77]

I am sorry, but I don't want to sell it.

By the way it is not a normal TT-01 but the limited R Kit. But I saw they bring out a TT-01E R. So maybe you just get this.

[Zonda95a]

how hard is it to take out the engine because i got a similar rtr verision and i want to put a castel MMM or what ever it is

[Maxxah]

Oh and what's the top speed?

[Maxxah]

Is it difficult to put it toghether?

Does it come with instructions?

[orci77]

No. It comes with a very good instruction. See if read/look carefully into it, you get a well build car.

The top speed depends on the electric motor. I think anything more than 50km/h is too much for this beginner level car. But 50km/h is already quite a speed.

[Maxxah]

Oh, it doesn't come RTR?

[orci77]

No, the TT-01R is never RTR.

You can by the normal TT-01 or the new TT-01E as RTR.

[Maxxah]

Thanks. :)

What's the difference between TT-01 and TT-01E ?

[orci77]

The TT-01E is the newer version. Just visit the tamiya website to see the difference.

[Maxxah]

I bought the TT-01E

[getintoawheelchair]

can somone point me in the direction to get one?

[orci77]

Depends on the country you live in. If it is still available by Tamiya than every Tamiya dealer can do. If not than try Ebay or an asian shop.

[Justin123456789091]

get new rims

[DemoN102pl]

looks like minr tt01d

[sweeeeeet9]

thos LRP no limit ESC are A piece of shit, I went threw two of them, they melted both times with a 4600 6cell battery on it, but the motor was a 6 turn, but still!

[dvdeath3x]

that celica body looks a bit wide for the chassis, is it a 190mm or 200mm? is there any way to space out the wheels so they sit more flush with wider bodies like that?

[orci77]

It is a 190mm wide body.

You could use spacers. As an alternative Tamiya offers long wheel axles.

[HEY8461]

Whats up with the last 2 minutes?

Nothing

[IcEcReAmSaLe]

die felgen sind ja mal total scheisse

[famous1stars1straps]

Maybee there 'scheisse', but they are used by very much pro rc riders. so dont hate.

[udesh123456789]

How do you make it drift, mine is like goes like a drag and what do you put on your tire to make it drift good ?

[SpeedDennis]

Ad 1 or 2 extra spacer clips on the rear springs to make them stiffer. Then get some tamiya drift tires type-d they are ultra hard plastic / rubber compound... and look it go Dorifto !

[hardstyla09]

hey guys do u maybe know where i can get one of these in South Australia lol i have kno i idea where

thanks

[orci77]

Not really. I heard that Sydney shop have nice and big RC shops. But I am from Germany.

Anyhow ebay ships anywhere ;-)

[tmoneyking242]

do u know any in the US where i can get one of these ?

[orci77]

No sorry. Tamiya USA list it as discountinued. Maybe you try ebay. I dont know any Tamiya online shops in USA.

[j3rd4n2k8]

what turn motor is in this?and about how much did u spend on it cos im thinking of buying

[orci77]

As written in the information it is a 17T LRP Challenge Motor.

The motor costs about 40€ and the TT-01R about 110€.

[udesh123456789]

how much did you get it for?

[orci77]

For the TT-01R I paid 110 Euros.

[dommeaap8]

I have that hpi toyota bodyshell too.

and a tt-01. only for drifting

[martijnon32]

how fast does that thing go ?

[orci77]

I did not measure but I guess somewhere between 45-50 km/h

[neluz6]

is a tamiya electric tt-01 faster than my tt-01 nitro car ?

[orci77]

It totally depends on the electric motor. There are some which are faster but also more than enough that are slower.

Mine should be slower.

[driftoner]

its k im not the kind to hold a grudge :P

[driftoner]

dude i told him that i was 15 coz i make friends on you tube and they dont find out im 15 till like 3 months later

[LancerVX]

is it easy to for a first timer to build it?

[orci77]

Yes it is very easy. The manuals of Tamiya are very good. Just take your time and you got a well build model.

[eben81]

so wha tdose the "R" imply... an alloy driveshaft? im just being a jerk

[driftoner]

how do we drop each other down as friends

[driftoner]

and ive only got a plastic shaft and a brushless and i drift it so the drive shaft worps and fliks about like crazy .....oh yeah im actually only 15

[Bowilde]

Woow cool and nice tunned nice BMW body 0.o ur sooo cool!!

[driftoner]

do they run smooth my great vigor grinds like a piece of .......well something unsmooth .....soz if im typing to much

[ar3y0oj0rd4n]

tt-01 are not smooth at all, they make alot of noise. i use a tt-01r fully hopped up to drift, its louder than yokomos, HPI, tc4, etc.

[driftoner]

i got a tt-01 now and your exactly right but it is still smoother than my great vig

[driftoner]

check out my page soon ill have twin s15's

[driftoner]

oh yeah if u wana see some really cool cars go on this french dudes page badg40

[driftoner]

ive got a graet vigor .....its aussie but im getting a tt-01 and putting my brushless in that and putting the motor and esc ect.. from the tamiya in the great vigor

[hogyop69]

im new 2 rc racing and was wondering what an ESC is ?? plz reply

[orci77]

ESC = Electronic Speed Control

[hogyop69]

oh thanks

[hello11123fderrrfgv]

veiw it from 3.12 minutes its very exiting

[theberengersniper]

lol, I actually waited to see what happened.

[moptop1004]

how much would a average TT 01 chassis kit cost?

[Mcintee09]

my car is is stock except the eletronics i paid $129 can for mine i wana put in the traxxis titan 12t in mine tho

[orci77]

A normal TT-01 costs about 70€.

A TT-01D, TT-01R or the brand new TT-01E costs up to 130€. But the newer Kits already have a lights and a corresponding Light Control Unit.

[Hoser95842]

Does the TT-01 have metal diff gears? How much maintainance does a bevel-type differential need? Nice car.

[orci77]

The gears inside are out of metal. The housing ist made of plastic.

For a bevel gear very few maintenance is needed. Much less than for a ball diff.

[sporadicidiocy]

Just got pulled back into RC stuff recently when my coworker got a Mini-Z AWD... that tiny little thing drifts!!

Anyway, the new Nissan GTR body came out for TT-01E.. I'm planning to get it along with the chassis and use my old CAM supermodified 540 from my busted TA-01 on it.. gonna need some advice on a Rx and ESC though... haven't tinkerd with RC for quite a long time (8yrs++)

[orci77]

I guess it depends on a certain degree in which country you live in.

But in general LRP, NOSRAM or GM produce good ESC.

As an Rx I have a Graupner XS-6 Sport. This is a Synthesizer and I am very pleased with it. The new Spectrums look good too.

Dont know your motor but I guess you will buy a new one anyhow ;-)

[sporadicidiocy]

Hmm I've looked at a few Rx/Esc today.

So far I think I may settle on the Novak SuperRooster reversible ESC with Futaba JR RS310 Rx.. think that's good combo?

I've heard good things on the SuperRooster albeit it's a tad expensive.

Maybe I'll just get the RTR kit lol

[orci77]

The point is that in Germany Novak and Futaba are not used quite often. This is due to local companies like LRP.

So unfortunately I cannot say if it is good or not.

[doodlenoodle101]

Hey nice car! How much did it all cost?

[orci77]

Chassis Kit + Body + ESC + Motor + Tires = ~280€

[Xcelerate2000]

Woah, nice car! These aren't built for offroad, are they? Anyway, I really like the paintjob and everything :).

[orci77]

No this is an onroad chassis.

But you can use it for rally type action.

[Bottenhond]

hey little tip for ya... if you adjust the shock positions, you get better traction in the corners. On the wishbones you see an extra hole next to the one you mounted your shocks on. Did it on my TT-01, waaaayyyy more stability.

[hiddenglass]

Can i buy one of those on internet??

Plzz answer me xD

[orci77]

For sure!

Try searching for Tamiya dealers in your country.

Ebay is also a good source.

[BigAJL720]

hey does the tamiya tt-01 have a good quantity of parts and if so can you tell me what those parts

[orci77]

I guess the TT-01 is one of the models where you get the most parts for.

You got the original Tamiya parts. In addition there are tuning parts from Square and 3Racing (i.e. carbon chassis).

[BigAJL720]

hey thanks for the help i have one coming in 2 days from now

[Craiver23]

any advise?? i want to build 1 like that on a budjet drift car, is TT-01 the best chassis?any advise how tobuild 1 motor, tires or chips or somthing else. thank you

[orci77]

The TT-01D should be the right choice.

See your local hobby shop for any help/advice.

In addition to the building kit you need a remote control, batteries and a charger.

[Craiver23]

Tnx men, Il just check the hobby shop if they have these car,do i need a DBOX to drift properly???

[orci77]

No, just practice!

Where would be the fun if the electronic would do all the work?

Check out the SG Drifters videos. Then you know what is possible with practice.

[masterkdrifter]

it cost more to build a car doesnt

instead of buying on rtr right

nice vid tho

[orci77]

In general the vendors sell a RTR for less than all the parts would cost on its own.

But normally the RTR parts are not so good. So sooner or later you will buy better parts.

So you could save money not buying RTR.

[conor1148]

this looks like so much fun, i really dont need another expensive hobby. i already have real cars to work on/upgrade! XD

but still i would like to know how much it costs to get a kit like this one and get all the stuff i need to get started. nothing too fancy. just the car and remote controller and batteries. i know a little about these cars but not much

[orci77]

I guess you have to spent at least 300€.

Anything below would mean that you have to buy twice if you get addicted to it ;-)

[basskater123]

thanks!!:D

[basskater123]

very nice setup! but whats the song ? please it rocks:D

[orci77]

3 Doors Down - Not Enough

[SuperChevy446]

hey man, me again i went to the hobby shop and i decided to get the Tamiya TT01 drift spec subaru. it looks pretty sweet and he said i can just change the tyres to do grip racing if i want to and it will handle heaps good

ty for ur advice

[SuperChevy446]

hey nice man

my parents offered to buy me this for my b-day, its the Tamiya TT01 completly stock. should i take this offer?

[orci77]

For Sure!!!

Is a free start for you and you always have the opportunity to tune it.

[SuperChevy446]

kk sweet i wasnt sure. also what mods should i do to it bcause i told the mthe price and my mum was like is that all lol. so what else can i buy for it?

[orci77]

Ok, then get ball bearing and a aluminum drive shaft.

If your mom still got too much many buy trf dampers and some good batteries! ;-)

[SuperChevy446]

sweet thanks heaps. so would i be able to get all these from the place i bought it (its a rc plane,car and boat place)

[orci77]

Yes for sure.

[MmmFloorPie03]

Whats a good entry level car for a guy that has experiance with nothin more than a few Xmods?

[orci77]

If you have some xmods than I think you are really interested in the hobby and dont have to be convinced.

In this case I would take a TA05 (for indoor or race track) or a TB-02 (for parking lot).

[MmmFloorPie03]

thanks alot Orci77. I will look into those

[acdcse1]

a good cheap entry level car is a TB02R or if you want cheaper get a normal TB02 and get sports tuned motor with a 38t pinion and alminum shaft drive

[Stormwysper]

A track near me may be starting a TCS track. I love the fact that all you have to buy is the car and you can race at anywhere that is doing the TCS and there is no race fee. The other companies should take note.

[BremerSohn]

the TT-01 is a toy car.... chekc our the X-Ray T1 FK05 or something like this..

[orci77]

It is a beginner and fun car.

Toy cars are much different.

Comparing a TT-01 with a Xray T1 is like comparing apples with peaches.

[BremerSohn]

i have started with a Tamiya TT-01. I have it here behind me.

But it isnt a fun car... everything made of plastic (standard version!) and it costs a lot of money for tuning-parts.

[TracingPeeps]

Hey, at least hes out there giving it his all and trying. Its 80% driver, 20% car any real racer knows that.

You have a great setup, dont let these dolts try to sell you something you dont need. :)

[gekko030]

i wanna see it in action

[songplazas]

if u all are looking for a fast rc car(electric) that also dirfts go to toys r us an look for a rc car box with playing cards all over it named playas .....I have 1 it drives dirfts pretty nicely........

[xinho430]

in your opinions which is best tamiya,custom rydz,xmods or mini-z cuz i wanna know which one i should get?

[beatboxer0294]

this is the best tamiya tt - 01 evr

[karlkawka]

This is Rubbish but good song!!

[rushevokool]

wat the song i luv it

[99876654]

i got a normal tt01 and was wundering how much it can withstand from the motor aka how many turns and can the speed control u hav withstand any motor, even brushless? plz reply

[orci77]

Most people say if you use a good 17T you should switch to aluminium drive shaft. The plastic one seems to start vibratring. Honestly I never had a stock TT-01.

The speed control is only for brushed motors and yes it can withstand any brushed motor.

[cm030]

most of the ESCs included in the TT01 kit is TEU-101BK,, and it can handle not less than 23t motors..

[razr106]

what tools would you need?

[orci77]

Just some screwdrivers and a gripper. Thats enough to get started.

[ThaDons]

is this electric? or wat???(the car) were dya get it from???

[johncollins543]

wat if i bought the tt-01 and then got the graphite kit for it would it be safe for anytype of brushless?

[orci77]

Like MikePeperni said: Get ball bearings and alu driveshaft in addition.

[johncollins543]

Hey dude i just wanted 2 know if the tt01 was safe for a brushless. and also i just wanted to tell you they have a graphite conversion kit for the tt01. thx plez reply.

[orci77]

A Stock TT-01 surely not. A TT-01R if you don't take a too hot brushless. Anyhow I never tested this.

Yes there is a graphite kit from 3Racing.

[MikePeperni]

My friend have a VXL brushless in his TT-01, only upgrade are ball bearings and alu driveshaft, it is holding very well to the power.

[vtechialist]

i got a tt01d how can i make my car withstand 17t

[orci77]

Just get alu drive shaft #53620. The TT-01D is already well equipped.

Or like TT-01R take #3455877, #3455878 and (#51091 or #53783).

[vtechialist]

as i know TT01 model cant handle less than 23 t cause the chassis is not strong and the gear are make of plastic .

[orci77]

That the gear is made of plastic doesn't really matter. Since the speed gearing is same like TB Evo III.

But the plastic propeller shaft is not hard enough for stronger motors.

But as you see a TT-01R could easily withstand a 17T. No defects till now.

[davemaciej]

if you have a stock tt-01 and you want to put a 23t or less motor, its for sure you will need to get an esc(electric speed control)23t or less.and if you dont want problems with it, buy an aloy propeller shaft and ball bearings. i have a tt-01 and trust me they are tough and well designed!!

[acdcse1]

the first thing to get if u want a at least of tt01 is a alminum shaft drive

[davemaciej]

i was talking about if someone wants to upgrade their motor they will need to upgrade their speed controler for it to work properly also and thats why i said if you dont want problems with it,buy analloy propeller shaft and ball bearings. i dont know what your talking about!

[willyking35]

wat song pls reply very nice video lol

[orci77]

3 Doors Down - Not Enough

[99876654]

By the way, could you please tell me how fast an unmodified tt01 goes?ty!

[99876654]

hi i just got a tt01 and was wunderin how long it takes to build it. could u please tell me?

[orci77]

Building the chassis takes about 2 hours. But take your time and do everything right.

I guess a unmodified TT-01 goes up to 30km/h.

[Roxydriver]

hey orci77

thats a nice tt-01!

i want tune my tt-01

i want a speed 60/70 km/h

what must i buy to get this speed

i hope you can help me:)

thanks

[orci77]

First go ball bearings and an aluminium driving shaft. You should try and maybe add adjustable suspension and aluminium steering.

60-70km/h are a lot of speed in my opinion. An LRP Challenge 17T gives you good speed (about 50-55km/h). If you want more I would take a brushless set.

[connorlovesvideos]

i have the same kit TT-01R with 10t brushles motor i do around 60/65km/h

with my curris speed controler and alloy shocks most of the kit light by using carbon fiber parts i would fit heatsink and

nitro shoes wheels i am in the finals in every race and 1 to 3rd in the small races also on the drive shaft it is quite light the one with the kit so i would use a stronger heaver drive shaft you can buy upgrades of ebay use tyer additive on the back wheeks only ! there you go

[willysoh93]

is there brakes in rc cars?

[orci77]

Cars with electric engines, like this, brake with the enginge.

Nitro cars have brakes in one way or another.

[orci77]

Hey community,

thanks for the lot of views.

Any comments are appreciated and I do my best to answer any questions.

Please have a look at my others videos especially the ones of my TB-02!

Thanks, Cypher

[MrSpike13]

got any vids of it in action?

[orci77]

Unfortunately not.

Maybe I'll do some this year.

[chezemonster12]

cool!

[vindex101]

dat toyota is NICE!

[MegumiFF7]

nice except the wheels lol it's plain

[eddy9119]

hey where did u get ur car.

i been looking all over and i cant find any

[orci77]

I got mine from ebay Germany.

Tamiya America didnt have any in stock currently but I think every Tamiya dealer should get you one.

[MihailTube]

Those are the best wheels lol nothing gets in!

[swansladcraig]

i dont like the wheels.....

[DaveBuggin]

I run a Rheinard Edition 415MSX. Awesome car, can't fault Tamiya for build quality, especially with their higher end TRF stuff.

[anythingnitro]

stuf the tt01 get a ta04 or ta05 if u want a good reliable tamiya rc

[blitz17nerr]

do they still make this kit? I can not find any. nice choice with the lrp motor by the way.

[orci77]

I think so. In Germany you can still buy it. Also Tamiya USA does say it is temporarily not available but not discontinued. Maybe you check some larger US Tamiya online stores!?

[chunkyfunkymonkey28]

they sell this kit on Tower Hobbies for 139.99 and it is in stock
