Do you want a Carbon chassis for WT01?

No it's available:

I just with Tamiya would redo this chassis with a square battery hole. Carbon looks great and I want it bad but it takes away from the cheap basher ethos.

They might - all it needs is a fresh chassis plate moulding. Since it is symmetrical, they wouldn't even need to make two.

 

Other models have had such revisions - take the M-05 for example. If people keep buying WT-01s and Tamiya realise the model holds continued interest, it is not completely inconceivable that they might revise the battery hole.

I've got a good ideo from a friend today. I will buy some arms from Stampede VXL, thery are 100mm long and looks like they could fit.

If I got some and tested it out, I will let you all know it.

Something new for you

That's a real cfk carbon chassis! Absolutely perfect! I'm so excited about this frame!

I'm very proud about it, because it's unique in world and a prototype!

Manufacturing,  passing accuracy and stability are very good.
 

So it looks assembled:

Toe-in in rear frim TL-01 chassis with 2° for improving directional stability:

Some new tuning parts e. g. upper arms

and inside self made brass gear tubes. They are 5-10g lighter than stock.

The chassis is ~30g lighter than stock!

Von lauter aufregung vergessen English zu schreiben

Nettes teilchen. Nice Chassis.

How about quick release for the battery.

Haha, sry, I've changed it into very good bad english.

The fast changer isn't recommended vor my 2S Lipo. The cables are in same positions like the opener....

I really like that carbon chassis and the continued improvements you're making!

 

[The Knight]

Long time I havn't  write about new parts. I've changed a lot.

Last year a replaced the rims, add a gearbox in front, replaced the brushless kit by two firebolt morots. And lot of little parts.

 

Today, I make it perfect. Last parts I have plugged in. ^^

Started with this

New parts are: fast change battery opener + carbon tubes, turnbuckles as steering rods. long screws in gearbox. Some days ago I changed the shocks (to hard) by cheap one. In red and blue. Looks similar to the body.

Fits perfect:

Final truck:

Looks much better, more stability. I love this chassis!!

 

I think about changing HPI tyres into Pro-Line  Destroyer 2.2'', but I don't know, if they work better?!

 

 

[The Knight]

Hey guys. After 2 driving sessions I can't believe the improvements! The truck drives so much better than before!. Great.

No swing off in curves and on loose ground.

 

So I can say again: I LOVE the WR-01!
