Tt-01?

[minisam66 0]

Hi guys,

I've just started not too long ago in this hobby with some freinds and i bought myself a df-02, I like the car alot and I hoped it up quite a bit. But like everyone, one car is not enough.

I was planning on getting a Frod f-350 highlift, because I love how it looks, and how the build looks long, complex, JUST FUN!!! but when all i needed was added, ( radio, esc, servos) it came to something around 650$ canadian. so ill let go it for now.

The other car i planned to get was a TT-01 'cus i want an on-road car.I was wondering if its a good buy, or should i get another, simalar in price touring car preferably fom tamiya.

advice needed,

sam.

Hey, i have a tt01 and i LOVE IT, its great it handles pretty good and it performs very well on-road. But as always there are models that might be better for the price.

[minisam66 0]

Yeah well the tt-01 looks like a realy great car, but isnt the steering very wobbly like on my df-02?

Im now looking at other tamiya models, the tb01 looks like a good car to.

Whats the 'best' on road car for a good price? The corrally? The ta05? Idk. Im considering getting one aswell, in the future.

for the money, as said in the other post, i would get a TB-02... dont expect many hop-ups.. cause it dont need them...

type this into ebay.. it is a good price.. under $100 USD

Oh thx buddy for the info, but i was wondering if the tb01 was close to the tb02. does it have the same advantages, and is it the onroad df-03's brother? lmao.

ahhh... whatever, a 15 year old kid... too bad...

if you dont want advice from someone who has three TT-01s 2X TB-02s 2X TB-01s 4X DF-02 a DF-03, F-201 5X TA-02s then dont ask the question...

a question was asked and answered...

the Tb-01 is older, it is not bad, but it is heavier, more robust, i have a TB-Evo3 which is based on it and it goes well.

[Tamiya Learner 1]

I woul;d go for the TA05 or the EVO 4.

The TA 05 is good out of the box and lots of body choices; if the pocket allows though wait for the MS version chassis kit, its got all the hop-ups included from the reviews I have seen (I have the Ferrari one with the 3Racing graphite chassis conversion, basically the soon to be released MS).

The EVO4 can be picked up pretty cheap as they have released the EVO 5 (I have both); again depends on your pocket and wether you want shaft or belt drive.

You might if its belt drive also check out the TA04Ron ebay etc. not the latest, but still the spares are available.

TB01 is now out of date and was as said before heavy but robust, TB02 is better and there is the R version, including some hop-ups; I could go on but if you browse the club threads you should in the archives find all the pros and cons about most of the choices.

Good luck and welcome to the addicts Ha Ha

Ouch!!, not really a nice way to answer the question is it? What has his age got to do with it? Maybe there was a purpose to asking specifically about a TB-01 chassis, found a good deal somewhere or just wanting knowledge. I didnt think we persecuted people for politely asking questions!!

Play nice please.

In answer to the TB01/TB02 debate the TB01 is effectively a TG10 nitro car converted to electric, it is old in design now tho still one of the toughest tamiya cars and can be made to perform well with the hotups -

The TB02 is effectively a plastic version of the TB evo III which makes it a very competant and fast car for its money - having said that its more brittle and lightweight than the TB01 meaning that for bashing it might not be the ideal solution.

For what purpose are u looking to use the car?

Cheers Ryck

well I was planning the car to be pretty much stock as i want to put more money in my df-02, and basically just drive around, posibly fit a 15t-11t in it eventually, and if i can find a race track, or make one, i'd gladly race it. not as competition though, just for fun.

then to keep it stock I would choose the Tb02 as its much higher than the TB-01 for basic spec as has been said above. Personnally with my TB01 you have to get the lightweight gears and the Alloy steering - It also has a habit of overheating with less ventalation than the TB02.

yeah thats my number one problem on that car. The streering is a bit loose. But other than that its a nice chassis.

[terry.sc 17]

The TT-01 is amazing value, but it is a car designed down to a price with the beginner in mind. Very tough, they can take any abuse you throw at them and was the car the DF-02 is based on and shares many parts so cuts down on the spares you might keep. There are hop ups for them, but if you plan on hopping the TT-01 up in future it would be better and cheaper to get a TA-05. No matter how many hop ups you throw at a TT-01 (or how much you spend on it) it won't be faster than the kit standard TA-05, especially as most of the alloy upgrades make no difference to the performance. If you plan on upgrading the motor at all then you will need to fit an alloy propshaft or you will hear a clicking noise as the flexing propshaft rattles against the chassis, just like the DF-02. A good cheap car thats cheap to fix when you break it.

The TB-01 has proven to be Tamiyas best ever rally car chassis. Great off road, really solid design and even has a dust cover for the tub. the chassis design developed into Tamiyas high end shaft drive tourers. Shame it's long been discontinued. For a purely on road chassis at a reasonable price nothing beats the TA-05. It seriously out performs any of Tamiyas non-pro cars, especially as it is based on the Worlds winning TRF415, even uses the same suspension parts. If you are planning on running low wind motors like an 11t then belt drive has performance advantages regarding handling the power, there is a reason that all high end racers are belt drive these days. The TA-05 needs no hop ups at all to be competitive on the track, but if you want to the hop ups list is huge and growing and a lot of the parts designed for the TRF415 will fit.

If you aren't planning on racing and want a chassis for bashing a shaft drive has advantages as the drivetrain is sealed from the dirt. In which case the TB-01 would be the better choice as it is a lot tougher than the TB-02 and can also run on less than perfect surfaces. Fit the alloy propshaft and alloy steering to the TB-01 and it will be indestructible. The TB-02 has an advantage over it though as it is still being sold by Tamiya, but spares are still available for both.

Actually I know the TB-01 is shaft driven, but isn't the TB-02 belt drive?

[Tamiya King 1]

Also, go with the TT-01, there are so many hop ups and you can also get an upgade Drift tranny and springs for $30 USD.

Here is my TT-01 RX-7 with LED's.

I upgraded to Drift tires and wheels and I am getting drift tranny soon as well.

Thats the difference between us fix-it and bodgers and someone who spends an eternity in preparation, but the results are worth it as we see. Shame i dont have that kind of patience really, lol

Maybe you notice that after my first post, he laughed about the TB-02 being the on-road DF-03 and his little buddy agreed with him. I simply felt that the LMAO he added to the end of his post was unecessary, considering the amount of time I spent on posting in the first place...

I answered the first question and my answer was laughed at... simple.

I should have said... "why the lmao at the end of your post commenting on mine?"

apologies will flow from me, if I receive an answer to that question... why did you lmao at the suggestion of the TB-02 being the on-road version of the DF-03... or visa-versa...?

[Twist. 1]

He didnt laugh at it, he was asking if the tb01 was the brother of the df-02 the same way the tb02 is the brother of the df03 components-wise. He's just french and wrote it wrong.

Also theres a current joke rivalry with some members in some threads between DF-02 and DF-03 chassis. He wasnt laughing at your advice, but just your mention of the DF-03 and the jokes between members in other threads talking about 02 (which sam owns) and 03's.

Seriously though, reading both your posts it doesnt come across like hes laughing at YOU or your advice and i think you over reacted somewhat or took something completely out of context.

We all appreciate advice given from anyone, after all thats why we all post here, to learn or share our knowledge.
