lowering tt01

[keesterdog]

how do you lower the ride height on a tt01 ? the car keeps flipping over.

Remove spacers on the shocks if there are any on there.

What surface are you running on?

[steviedee]

how low are you wanting it as standard they are about 8mm clearance, i've beaten my tt01 sense less and its never tipped over, even with a sport tuned under the shell

[theshopkeeper]

What tyres you got on it? Might be too grippy at the front end.

[keesterdog]

this is the track i'm running on. i'm using a med compound tread type tire.

I'm surprised you are rolling over, you won't be generating huge amounts of grip with those tyres on that track.

Try some stiffer springs on the suspension, and try using the tyres and inserts the other racers use, your tyres could be deforming too much at speed.

thanks guys. it definitely isn't the tires gripping too much. what i did though was to take some zip ties and put them around the outside of the suspension arms and the shock tower mounts. now if i want to lower it i just tighten up the zip ties. it does seriously limit my suspension travel though if i want the car to hug the track.

[sosidge]

Just for the record, that is not the correct way to treat a car's suspension.

But if it's working for you, go for it.

I use CVA super mini shocks with the 5mm spacer under the piston that gives you a nice ride height,

on stock tyres we run 35wt front and 50wt rear shock oil, 2 hole pistons, give that a try []

Hi I guess people here are surprise to hear your TT01 roll as it has been consider to be one of the chassis with very low CG, as lease compared with prious generation Tamiya chassis such as TL01 or TA01/02.

Just wonder should you run the car in oppositive direction would that be more easy or less easy to roll-over.
