@OldSchoolRC1 Thanks for your reply. I hadn't heard of the Xtraspeed before. I am now probably going to try an 80t motor to start with and see how I get on, as it is the cheaper and simplest option.
I will look into the Xtraspeed for future projects though.
Thanks again

Great idea. I also watch YouTube more than TV.

Hi RC4wd.com may have some but I just use 80 turn and higher motors they work great in cc01 chassis.
Hi Steve. It's for my Pajero. I have a 55t Axial motor in it at the moment. Would a 80t be much different from that. Thanks mate. (Derek aka Holly Hill RC

I love Ford GT's and this is Beautiful

I also have a Core-RC UAC-50 which I charge my Nimh batteries with. It is easy to learn how to use and works very well.
It does cost a bit new but if you don't mind using Ebay you will probably find a cheap used one (or similar) there.
Mine was used and it cost £20 inc post and it was in mint condition.

Hi, does anyone know of an alternative to an hpi reduction gearbox set for the CC-01. I can't find a hpi one.
Many Thanks

connector type is a PHR-2
That's great. After I read your post I found the housings, along with pre-wired terminals at RS Components, and there is a branch near me.
I would have to buy 10 of each item for a total of £5, but that is cheaper than a new harness plus p & p, from Modelsport, who don't have any in stock for a few weeks (estimate).
I already have the Tamiya connectors, terminals and wire so, I can solder it all together. Many thanks for your help. I really appreciate it

The different plugs are to stop people putting them in the wrong sockets.
Not sure what the correct term for these plugs is but I have a spare battery connector from an old phone battery.
Hi Tamiyabigstuff , sorry for the late reply. Thanks for answering. Please excuse my ignorance, but are you saying your phone battery connector will fit in the socket ? I would never have thought to have looked at anything like that

Hi. I have got a TT-01E Subaru Impreza WRC 2008 and I need screws for the led fixings for light buckets. Could anyone tell me what size they are please.
Many Thanks

Hi, I have just bought a used TT-01E Subaru Impreza WRC 2008 with a TLU-01 Light unit that is missing the harness lead that plugs into the "BATT" socket and connects to the battery.
I thought that I could make up my own lead. I have wire and Tamiya plugs, and I thought I could use the jst plug from one of the spare led's I have, but it won't fit in the socket. I am struggling to find the correct plug.If anyone can advise me how to solve this problem I would be really grateful.
Many Thanks
Derek

- Hi, @steponit! I have been using the FlySky FS-GT3C for about a year and it's been great. Receivers can cost as little as £6, and I regularly run 8 of my RC's with mine.

@Saito2 I don't know about the Futaba, but I have the Tactic TX300 which I use with my SCX10 and have had no problems at all with it. I have had it about a year and use it 3 or 4 times a month, for a couple of hours, and haven't had to change the
batteries yet, which are only cheap Ikea AA's. It also only uses 4 of these too, unlike most older transmitters which take 8.
I echo what Prescient said that they are really easy to use

Good videos. I really like the Ford body on this chassis. I was going to get this chassis for my CC-01 Pajero, but I think I will get a Blackfoot body instead.

Just a quick update to this thread - I decided to sell the Rat Brat (to help fund a new project ;o) and it was bought by Only4Fun (Derek) here on Tamiya Club - who has a Youtube channel, including this latest film!
Glad to see Krazy Kelly has gone to a good home!

Only just seen this post. Thanks for the channel shout out @JennyMo. Kelly has settled in nicely and has made a bunch of new friends : ))

I need to update that build blog as a few other bits have been changed since. :-) you might need washers to space out the clips as I found them a little too snug on the battery.
Thanks, I will look out for that and your blog update.

The qr is the way to go if you don't mind spending on them. I have a load of spare E1 due to qr replacements.
If you can, it's worth getting a set of these tyres as they fit straight on the WT01 2.2 rims and give you great scale MT performance. Transforms the 2WD performance due to grip and contact area. Bargain at Hobbyking at the moment.
I've got those tyres on my WR-01 wheels.
They are HUGE !

Hi @wilsonian Thanks for the advice on the quick release. I was reading through your Wild Dagger thread and think this is the sensible way to go. I recently bought a WT-01 rolling chassis which I was intending to use for spares for my WR-01 Double blaze, but because it came with Ball bearings, Alloy shock towers, Alloy front and rear hubs, Alloy c hubs, Alloy shocks, heavy duty servo and a Painted Double blaze body. After a quick clean, and seeing how good a condition it was in, it seemed a shame to tear it down. So I've decided to restore it back to a runner. I've never had a 2wd monster truck. In fact the only 2wd's I own are a Brat and a Taiyo Edge Freestyle BMX RC !
So it will be quite fun and interesting to have a 2wd and a 4wd Blaze. Thanks once again and I appreciate your offer of the spare.

@Prescient Thanks for replying but I have decided to follow wilsonians advice and go for a quick release

Hi, I am looking for a WT-01 or WR-01 Battery Retaining Clip.
If there is anyone who has one spare to sell, to save me buying the complete E Tree, I would be grateful.
I am in Hampshire in the UK.
Many Thanks
Derek : )

@jg009 Hi. That's the motor I have been looking at. It's about the same price over here, and not chopping the chassis is definitely a bonus
