The TB-01 already has all of these parts, unless you have a TB-01R, which is the touring version. The Focus', Lancers, and Imprezas on the TB-01 are always the rally cars, either way, the differnce is easy to spot by the tires. []

Don't think you can tackle any rough terrain with these though, they are intended for dusty tarmac tracks and flat hard packed sand surfaces. You can't jump them like you can with buggies or trucks, so keep this in mind. []

I have a TB01 lancer evo 7 and it was great fun apart from the speed! it is so dodgy to drive due to the rally ride hieght!! Not much but still enough to have a very tippy feeling to it! The chassis is so heavy and the sus so tippy that you can throw it from left to right and do 360's if you have a powerful enough motor!

One thing that is really really good about the TB01 chassis is it is basically inderstructable!! But because it is so heavy its not the fastest car in the world so forget racing other rc cars! It is a pure fun car!!

For weigth savings, you should get plastic bevel and ring gears, that will save you a lot of rotating mass! Also in order to use the plastic bevel gears, you must use a alluminium propshaft. You should be well able to get these parts for around 15 euro (about 10 pounds). The TB-01R's already have these hop-up parts though. []

These parts are also very stong, so they should not decrease the 'indestructability' of the TB-01. [8D]

I have a TB01 chassis going on ebay at the mo' - find your way to the auction via my traderoom (not really supposed to post live auction links here). It's a rally version with the perspex dust cover, foam dust guards etc, but you'd need to swap the wheels/tyres for some rally blocks. Cheers. David

Thats a TB01R! If you look at the manual on the table it says TB01R and its got a picture of a raybrig nsx which is the TB01R shell! Hope that helped you!!
