The last solution ended up with a NIMH melting through a chair! 😬 hence trying to think outside the box. They really can’t be trusted with much. Agreed the spindly wires are a bottle neck.

Ok so here’s the premise. I have an autistic cousin that’s obsessed with Tamiya. He has his own tt01 but can’t use it himself as he’s not able to manage the batteries and charger etc. So it got me thinking. Why not create a simple set up with 2 18650 cells in a battery holder and a simple wall charger for it like the old AA style chargers. Will these cells be able to cope with the current draw of a 540 motor if I gear it down a little and ball race the whole thing for him. Basically try and make it like a QD chassis I was thinking something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203190753855 and this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183061475059 Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. With this setup I could show one of his live-in carers how to charge the battery. It won’t need to last too long. But at least he won’t need to wait 3-6 month between bashing sessions when I get the chance to see him. No one else in his home is competent enough to do it with him so I though I’d think outside the box.

Checked all the above. But thanks for the suggestion.

Hi all. bit of a weird one. I have one tble02s that won’t put put forward. Tried several motors gone through the set up several times checked all my end points etc. what’s weird it that the reverse and brake are working fine. The esc has an unknown history and apparently wasn’t working correctly in brushless mode but I though it was worth salvaging for brushed use. any ideas I feel like I must have missed something obvious here 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is awesome. We certainly need to see a picture of it vs the RC.

Are these not listed on eBay anymore. I noticed a seller offering a carbon fibre washer solution what’s that all about? if these are going to be back on eBay anytime soon please let me know. I don’t want a production run on my account and it will be for a nib kit that isn’t going to be built for a while.

Yep

What ya got. Or where is the cheapest place to get some. Possibly some wheels too if you have any gathering dust.

@Scouser any good?

Thanks for letting me know.

Built mine a little while ago. I think I paid £150 from RC Mart. I agree they certainly aren't worth £400 plus. Mines still mint on the shelf. £300 if anyone wants a bargain. 😉

Are these still available?

I think they are just selling the wheels.

I have all sorts. But all different values. I have a tt-02 but it’s mint and newly built ball raced etc. I’ll P.M you

No probs. I also have too many but I think the mad bull is such a great basher.

Thanks for the tip. What about the ones I want to jeep on display will it work for them too?

So I have an integrated garage but it can get cold and maybe even slightly damp at times. But I have many shelters and some have new but perished tyres. A few are brittle and upon handling they rip others appear completely fine. In fact my runners seem to be in better condition. 🤔 anyone else have similar problems and or solutions. Short of removing the wheels and boxing them up. I don’t like the idea of them all cracking as I do plan on running some of them. The worst ones seem to be the lunch box and monster spike ones.

TL01B is another option. But I would be more inclined towards a tt02b. I wouldn’t rule out some of the rereleases you could potentially find a used one on eBay and the DB01 usually cost a lot more if you can find one. Also if it doesn’t have to be a buggy there are other truck and rally car options that make good 4wd bashers. What is the intended use?

Would you consider swaps?

Yep this is super helpful. Makes sense now.

Flat pack it. 😉

It appears to have dr on the throttle. But I’m not sure how it works🤔. manual is here. https://cdn.simba-dickie-group.de/downloads/500500103/500500103_Anleitung-Instruction_reflexwheelstart.pdf if that doesn’t help let me know and I’ll have a play and figure it out.

🤔 I’ve lent it to my nephew so I will have to find out in a day or so. Bare with me

These are great for kids. Cheap basic. Only takes a couple of batteries and performs well too. Great size for wee hands too. Pretty sure it’s the same but rebranded https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392864827214

Never seen one but I like the sound of it.
